  • I use a textured sheet for all of my Prusament PLA prints on my Core One and XL, and it’s never given me a hint of trouble. I’m using the Prusa-provided profiles with zero tweaks.

    I just hit it with a bunch of 99% IPA while it’s cold and scrub it with paper towels before every single print. I don’t heat it up until all of the IPA has dissolved, since apparently PEI is incompatible with hot IPA. I’ve never washed my sheets with soap, I’ve never applied any sort of bonding agents to them, and I’ve never sanded them.

    Maybe you just have a bad print sheet?













  • I think a good doctor would provide this explanation to the patient. Be like “Okay, let’s get you fixed up! The medications and techniques we use change if you’re pregnant, so can you tell me when your last period is?” Only takes a second. Doctors should be aware that women often feel ignored and mistreated in a medical context (given the body of literature and studies demonstrating such), so like, they should work to correct that issue. It shouldn’t be difficult to do. It just requires a wee little bit of empathy.



  • Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there’s nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

    Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I’d hold off until you’re comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.
