  • My experience in manually changing filament on my old printer. : There was often tiny gaps between color layers that ultimately made the model weak. Sometimes blobs instead.

    (I would pause and change filament at a specific layer to get a multicolor print without a multicolor printer).

    To solve this I would add a cylinder object to the plate so that the first place the head went after a color change was to the cylinder to get the filament back up to the right flow rate.

    The pressure changes from changing filament is why the printer usually does a quick line at the start of a print. And why it’s necessary for multicolor changes.


  • I remember this cat video I liked.

    🎶 Cat , I’m a kitty cat, and I dance dance dance. And I dance dance dance. 🎵

    And I wanted to make it my ring tone. Back when phones were just starting to let you have custom tones.

    And I sent the creator an email and asked if I could have a mp3. And he responded and sent it and I was like.

    “Omg. This famous guy who made this video with like 100,000 views talked to me!”

    I remember bragging to my friends that this famous video creator talked to me online.

    Simpler times.

    Now it’s 24 million views On YouTube. I’m pretty sure I messaged them on black sheep or some other video site that was popular around 2006.
