@gamingonlinux Goddammit. I despise AI, but now you've gone and found that one use case that makes sense to me. This is how the machines win.
This might be the most magical thing I've ever 3D printed.

Is HDR just broken in Windows gaming? I have a nice HDR-capable monitor and finally tried it, and it just seems busted. Desktop can't understand it, even though Windows has a system option for it and getting it to work in games is sketchy af. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Jeebus. Crystal Method's Tweekend was released in 2001. I have no idea what's happened in the intervening years or how I got here.
My day so far has been spent cleaning house and fussing with the printer. PETG didn't want to behave, but has, I hope, been wrangled. Floors are tidy too.

My 12-yr-old while excitedly showing me a stunning array of seal and sea lion pics and videos:

It seems like describing your filament as "clog-free" is a recipe for disaster or, at least, disgruntled customers who have definitely proven you wrong. I also just spotted one that has "tidy winding", which made me chuckle. I can only assume that the rolls from this maker that don't have this claim were, in fact, wound by a maniac. #3dprinting
@metin Well, now it's perfect! I didn't understand before, but then the Nvidia CEO explained to me how I was wrong, so now I love the AI.
@britt I've never tried a cold plate, but I keep hearing about them. I seldom print below .2 layer height, but lately I've been printing things that are more decorative than usual, so trying to tweak supports and get generally better quality of surfaces has been a struggle.
