It’s interesting to hear that there is a new style as I’ve done several prints using the old style and it’s so lame that it only works for a few minutes after being exposed directly to bright light especially with how rough it is on the machine. It wore a groove through the hotend on my old Sidewinder X2 after using about a Kg to print a giant Lego skeleton.

It’s definitely some “uncanny valley” material. I can’t point to anything specific but it looks like it was assembled using face parts from 6 different people.

I did answer by saying that I’m going to take zero blame for this mess.

I also said that I did vote for Harris, so I’m confused about your “sitting back and allowing a genocidal fascist dictator to take power” comment. I’ve been preaching about the DNC’s incompetence since they allowed him to get elected in 2016 but I’m always met with opposition from people who think the DNC’s losing strategy is the correct strategy even though there’s no metric where this makes any sense.

A token opposition party in Putin-style elections doesn’t need to worry about accountability. Or anything else as long as they don’t defy Great Leader too much.

Are you talking about Democrats here? Are you suggesting the election was rigged? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Other than lots of people suffering and dying and you getting to gloat about it, I’m not seeing the upside here for anyone but Trump supporters.

But I do hope you enjoy the gloating.

Where am I gloating? I’m pissed off that the Democrats threw yet another election by pursuing right-wing ideals with a right-wing candidate. They have yet again completely abandoned the left in order to court the right (who voted for Trump anyway) , and it cost them another election and likely every branch of government. I’m trying to get people like you to wake up to that fact, to hold your party accountable, and I don’t understand how you can sit here a week after their major loss acting like they had a winning strategy and did everything right. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is rotten.

Yeah, I’m going to take zero blame for the outcome of these past three presidential elections as I held my nose and voted for the terrible slew of (D) candidates each time which resulted in two losses and one near loss. When are you going to hold the party accountable for their performance and unwillingness to support electable candidates?

Genocide and genocide? How about xenophobia and xenophobia? Pro-corporate anti-worker and pro-corporate anti-worker? We may be limited on parties, but they decide their platforms.

You can continue to support the Democrats shift further and further right, but it isn’t winning them any elections, so you’re just handing victories to the Republicans because they already occupy that space. It gave us Trump in 2016, nearly again in 2020, and now again in 2024. It’s also given them the Senate, likely the House, and with the Supreme Court. How much more are you willing to give Republicans before you’re ready to hold the DNC accountable?

It sounds like you’re still running their campaign for them as you gain enjoyment by mocking those opposed to supporters and enablers of genocide regardless of which tribe they belong to. That was a conscious choice from her, and this is a conscious choice from you to continue your support. She was trying to win an election, but what’s your excuse?

Please scour through my post history and find where I’ve ever told anyone how they should vote.

A shitty campaign does not excuse you from sitting back and allowing fascism to take over.

I did no such thing. I place the blame on Trump voters, Harris, and the DNC

Do you honestly think this is a winning argument as if those are the only two options?

“Accelerated genocide” is a term that fits along nicely with “enhanced interrogation.” It’s good to see the right-wing disinformation machine is still functioning since W. Bush left office. I wonder if Harris picked that gem up as she was courting Dick Cheney’s endorsement?

“Our strategy failed and our candidate lost. Quick! Start mocking people for caring about a genocide before they start getting ideas about blaming us for the mess we caused!”

These people will blame us for the next 4 years and then blame us when the next neoliberal party darling loses in 2028. Anything they can do to deflect responsibility, hold anyone accountable, and prevent disrupting the status quo in this great race to the bottom.

Probably because they’re still razing Gaza and Lebanon currently along with fighting in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and soon Iran. They don’t want to stretch our US resources too thin.

I see an angry phone call coming in someone’s future. Perhaps even some coarse language like “bullshit” or “bastard” might be included if Biden really means business.

Biden is the president, no?

They’re already doing what they want with impunity as evidenced by this being planned out, at this moment, while Joe Biden is president.

If all you have are STLs then you’re pretty limited. I use Meshmixer to do basic modifications or tweaks to STLs but it’s not super user friendly.

You can buy little nutzerts that you melt into prints using a soldering iron so that you have threaded holes if that’s required of the parts you need.

Not sure what steps you can take to confirm the issue outside of replacing parts; but you could try swapping the thermistor with a new one and seeing if that fixes the issue, and if not keeping the spare on hand for future replacement. Your issue looks like it doesn’t appear until the hotend has been heated for a bit so it could be some internal connection coming loose from the thermal expansion and not something more obvious like a broken wire. It’s gotta be that or the heater itself.

Also you might PID tune the heater after the thermal paste replacement if you suspect it’s not reading correctly.

I imagine the sound from when you lose on The Price is Right.
