I ain't exactly a rocket scientist with stuff like boards and soldering so I thought I'd throw this out to people that I follow that seem alot smarter than me on this sorta stuff (and most other stuff in life).
Do feel free to tell me to rack off or ping someone else you think might give some good advice on this if you dont wanna or whatever

I was thinking of getting into this area for the sake of it, always wanted to try my hand at messing around with hardware in my free time;
thoughts on the Open split deck as a project to get started on? It looked cool and I'd love working on something like that to have as an end result but is this way over my head sorta level? (even if im willing to spend a little extra on any fk up i do or extra time)

Hi folks, can anyone recommend an ethical/sustainable print on demand provider for calendars?

Possibly silly thought: hey d and d folks, do you have special words for different types of fatigue or low stats? Like are there names for having low stamina vs low strength vs having to expend energy slowly vs taking a long time to recover?

Because I think I'm not the only chronically ill person who would be very interested in your vocab.

Any chooms got some 3D printing advice?

I have a bedslinger (Sovol SV06 ACE, PLA), and any lower profile prints have been perfect, but I wanted to try this cool paper-holding rat to print for my son, and I have tried 3 times and it comes loose from the bed near the top of the print. Of course then it just air prints.

Things I have tried:

  • Cleaning the bed with 96% ethanol (I do that before each print anyway)
  • Using hairspray on the bed
  • Increasing the first layer thickness
  • Adjusting the z-offset for more squish
  • Adding a skirt of 8mm
  • Checking all the temp settings: bed 60C, first layer 210C print temp 200C (as specified on the PLA spool)

I'm using orcaslicer, I think the one thing that's left to try is reducing the print speed, but I hoped that wouldn't be needed...Maybe there is a way to slow the print as you get further up? Or maybe because I'm such a n00b I missed something obvbious

#gardening #AdvicePlease : I have added 9 raised beds of various shapes to my back yard over the years, but the paths are still grass and maintaining them drives me nuts. What are your preferred path materials? Aiming for something low maintenance that supports soil health and works in the Pacific Northwest. Wood chips?

Folks with #MECFS please share your wisdom about getting through a surgery without triggering permanent PEM hell 🫠

I need more enrichment in my chronic illness enclosure. Please recommend me your fave documentaries? Do not have to be streaming, can be weird, should be lefty-compatible.

High value topics: art, diy, gardens, computer history, disability, people's history, politics, own voices, queer stuff, science + nature...

Less interested: war, US politics, boomer music, serial killers...

 I am struggling to get our small, rural Makerspace in order. With a few people using all the tools and materials it gets out of hand very quickly... 
Any of you operate a small space like that, how do you cope with the chaos? It gets to me sometimes

I want to update my tech setup at home. Currently my desktop directly connects to two monitors via displayport, as well as my keyboard, mouse, and speakers.

Now I want to have a KVM of some description so I can connect a Zenbook via Thunderbolt to connect to the same hardware (desktop doesn't have thunderbolt, fyi).

Does anyone have any recommendations?
