FYI, You Can Totally Repair an Extruder with Junk.
FYI, You Can Totally Repair an Extruder with Junk. - Lemmy.World
I got some of the Sunlu High Speed PLA that I’ve been hearing good things about. On the first print I discovered that, while it prints beautifully, it creates a ludicrous amount of dust going through the extruder. So I open it up to clean it out, when suddenly the tensioning spring shoots out. Searched for about an hour in total, it’s nowhere to be seen. I’d been thinking of replacing the extruder for a dual gear one anyway, so I took the opportunity to order a nice one from Micro-Swiss. The problem is, that I have an FLSun Q5, and I’d seen from videos online that it doesn’t quite sit flush - you need to print a spacer. So I needed to get the printer patched up for one last hurrah. The spring was salvaged from a broken clothes peg. And it worked perfectly - not just “well enough”, but easily as good as the original. So in summary, if it helps anyone, losing the spring doesn’t mean you need a new part - a clothes peg spring works just as well.
How to talk about the PM of the UK.
How to talk about the PM of the UK. - Lemmy.World
I’m seeing a lot of international messages getting this wrong, so this is how you refer to the Prime Minister of the UK. First, we normally refer to the PM just by name, like anyone else. So, “Keir Starmer” or “Mr Starmer”. “Prime Minister” is not used as a title like “President” is. He’s not “Prime Minister Starmer”. He’s just “the Prime Minister” or “the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer”. Unusually, this new PM is also a knight. Of course, this has its own rules. If you want to use this title, it’s not quite as simple as replacing “Mr” with "Sir’. The first name is more important than the surname here. He’s not “Sir Starmer”. He’s “Sir Keir Starmer” or “Sir Keir”. Hope it helps!
