Wall oven selection - Lemmy.World
My wall oven went kaput - it had a good run (I think it’s original with the
house, from 1960. Or at least from the 80s. It has a mechanical timer!). But the
heating element melted itself and I’m not really up for trying to find a
replacement for that. So I’m in the market for a new wall oven and seeking
input. Key specs: - It’s a 24" single wall oven. Cutout is 22.5" wide, 28.5"
high, and 25" deep. - Electric power, 240V/30A circuit - I only care about
baking and broiling. Steam, air fry, wifi, rotisserie are all zero-to-negative
for me. - I would prefer physical dials and buttons but that seems uncommon
these days - I wouldn’t want to go much more expensive then the options I’ve
found (see below) I’ve found two that seem like a native fit: - GE JRS06SKSS
[https://www.geappliances.com/appliance/GE-24-Electric-Single-Standard-Clean-Wall-Oven-JRS06SKSS]
- The installation manual shows that this needs a cabinet cutout below the unit,
which I don’t want to do because I have existing drawers there - Frigidaire
GCWS2438AF
[https://www.frigidaire.com/en/p/kitchen/wall-ovens/single-wall-ovens/GCWS2438AF]
- This seems to fit my cutout without modification, so I’ll probably buy this
unless I find something better Most other 24" models are designed for a shorter
~23" cutout. For example the Empava EMPV-24WOB14
[https://empava.com/products/24-inch-stainless-steel-wall-oven-24wob14], and
some others from Magic Chef, Cosmo, and various other brands I’ve never heard
of. It’s maybe possible that I could build a nook above or below the oven, or a
trim piece covering the opening. But I’d kind of just rather not. Any thoughts
on my best options here?
Pneumonia or something - Lemmy.World
My oldest kid was out of school a whole week with pneumonia a couple weeks ago.
I got very little work done (no work = no $ but that’s OK in the short term). On
Friday I got a fever, chills, headache, lots of coughing, and massive massive
fatigue. Now getting very little work done again. I’m probably going to be at
like 40% typical income for the month. Again, OK in the short term but I got
goals and this isn’t helping you know? By Tuesday it was about the same level so
I did a “telehealth” visit thing and they said, yeah suck it up and take some
robitussin. Last night I started hearing the sound of rice krispies coming from
my throat after a breath. I think that’s a pretty tell tale sign of fluid in the
lungs. So today I went to urgent care. They did a chest x ray but the
radiologist was out and the doctor found the imaging inconclusive but put me on
antibiotics anyway. Hopefully I will start feeling better in a day or two. This
sucks.
Why did my PLA crumble after 6 weeks idle in my printer?

Why did my PLA crumble after 6 weeks idle in my printer? - Lemmy.World
I left a spool of eSun PLA+ beige
[https://esun3dstore.com/products/esun-pla-1-75mm-3d-filament-1kg-all-colors?variant=38050952085697]
in my Prusa MK4 with Prusa enclosure
[https://www.prusa3d.com/product/original-prusa-enclosure-3/], which has sat
idle since my last print about 6 weeks ago. The enclosure has a PTFE filament
feed tube that runs the filament from the spool to the extruder. Today I went to
change the filament, and it broke apart in several pieces, right at the ends of
the ptfe filament feed tube. The filament on the spool itself - within an inch
of where it simply separated from the broken bits - I can fold over 180° tight
without breaking it. Even the several ~1" lengths of broken bits are similarly
ductile. Ambient humidity is something like 15% (per my filament dryer) to 30%
(per my dehumidifier, which is idle because it’s winter). Any idea why this
happened? I’m curious about maybe interactions with the PETG parts that the
broken pieces were close to (that’s the only thing I can come up with, anyway).
