Neurodivergent is also a word I dislike. Neurodivergent literally means that your brain has strayed.

No, I'm not divergent. I have a certain type of traits.

This is intertwined with "Neurotypical" . There is no such thing. I have a professional relationship with one of Europe's foremost Psychiatrists. Talking about this, he told me that the concept of the "normal", i.e. well adjusted, reasonable, even-keel person may be applicable to maybe 20% of the population. Everyone else has some form of mental issue, often undiagnosed.

Interesting that the propeller blades are similar to wind turbine blades, optimized for low speed, and not like modern turboprop scimitars

We are not sick, we have mind that evolved for purposes that are a lot less useful in the present. Meds allow us to tone down our tendencies, to be able to cope better in current societies.

If your meds are zombifying you, dosage or medication are not right. Ideally I'd shoot for baseline plus a small amount of ADD

What's the point ?

How about improving your life, like a lot.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in my early 50's.

When I got the medication dialed in, I was like "Fuck! People live like this their whole lives!?"

It was like I had been living inside a tumble dryer, and now I was looking in from the outside.

I recently had ADD added to the mix. We are still working on the meds and dosage, but having experienced the life changing power of a dialed in med, I'm beyond expectant and hopeful.

I use a pretty decent app, MyTherapy, that has gentle reminders after the first one. I use it like snooze. I take my meds exactly around the scheduled time

I'm thinking torque rather than speed. I have converted an Ender 5 Plus to Hybrid core Y, with the Endorphin mod and I'm mulling adding an extra stepper on the X, and increasing power on the Y, either with a larger Y dual shaft or adding an extra stepper on the Y in series.

 

Has anyone run two nema dual shaft motors mechanically coupled in series? the Ender 5 plus uses a dual shaft to drive both Y axes, and I'm thinking of adding another, in series, coupled with an elastic coupler.

Thoughts?

I really like elegoo rpetg. It really likes moisture, though. Not a problem for me with my redneck dryer, though.

I'll be making a video with my setup soon.

I had a bunch of rolls of plain petg, and dumped them on a second hand market. Never looking back.

Also, Sunlu PLA+ 2.0. Great PLA.

I want to try Polymaker HT-PLA-GF. High temp resistance (150°C) right off the printer, more if annealed, and glass fiber. Should be a great replacement for many engineering filaments, but printable on vanilla printers without enclosure/filters.

 

Every morning I spend 12 seconds making a ranked list of priorities for my day so that I can hyper focus on something else.

 

Most of the multi color printers out there are AMS/MMU or similar, and there are many DIY options, like Armored Turtle or ECF.

They are an evolutionary dead end. Slow, wasteful, expensive to run.

The Prusa XL, or the Snapmaker U1 are the future direction.

Also a good CoreXY machine like vorons/sovols/ratrigs/VZ, etc can be upgraded with the Bondtech INDX tool changer.

We are talking 5x lower print times, 5x lower material costs.

There is going to be a glut of used Bambus and other multi material unit printers, when print farms unload them, since the tool changers will massively boost their bottom line.

Comments?

 

I know that many mods for some printers aim to enlarge the volume, but I've been considering downsizing somewhat my plus, as I have moved to a smaller house and the plus is a bit too large. An option would be to trade for a regular Ender 5, but I have had one, and the plus is better in many respects. Just the 4 guide/2 bed screws put it in a different league.

I really like the plus, I have modded it (hotend, direct drive, Klipper, board...), and have it pretty well dialed in, and I'm going to convert to "CoreX", a cheaper hybrid alternative to CoreXY, that removes a lot of weight from the gantry, ergo, higher speed and accuracy.

I'm going to end up with a respectably fast and accurate single color printer, and I'm considering adding the INDX tool changer.

I have googled, but either my Google-fu fails me or it's just too obscure of a subject.

Has anyone seen something like this?

I'm installing a second disk in my desktop, and I'm going to install Linux.

I've had dual boot on all my machines since forever. As in decades. I'm an old hand. Perfectly happy in a terminal.

I have Mint in (on?) my laptop because lazy.

I'm asking about QOL. The only "Gaming" I do are flight Sims, and although I haven't tried, I believe X-plane is Linux native. However, I do use some apps which are not Linux native, so I'd need some form of wine or performant VMs.

The PC is a Ryzen 9+64Gb, so it should handle a lot of things quite well.

I've been playing with both in VMs, but I can't get a feel for what my virtualization and wine use would be.

BTW, I might do an install of both, maybe side to side, without commitment to either, and then decide. It's going to be a blank slate install anyway.

From my trials, both seem comfortable enough.

I've heard good things about both.

Opinions?

 

No affiliation or anything. I’m simply stoked!

Elegoo Rapid PETG. I like PETG, but with my printer (Ender 5 Plus, slightly tuned; DD, All metal hotend, dual gear extruder, accelerometer…) regular PETG is sloooow. I’m already up to 180 mm/s it prints beautifully. As with all PETG it likes to be thoroughly dry. Once dry it prints like a PLA+. Beautiful definition.

I paid about 15€ per roll, but buying a 4 pack, it comes to about 12,50€ per roll, so about the same as PLA.

I’m just not buying regular PLA, or PETG anymore. The new generation of materials just leave the older ones in the dust. I had a few rolls of standard PETG that I had slowly been using up, but I sold the last 2, I couldn’t bear the waiting times.

I’m going to try a bunch of the new modified materials, like ABS plus and HT, ASA plus, and especially Polymaker’s HT-PLA-GF, a glass fiber high temp PLA that can be annealed in boiling water without deformation to withstand temps like 150º. Nuts! They are basically sold out until August, but once back in stock I’m buying the stuff.

Interesting times to be in the hobby.

 

Bonus points: Multi platform, Android-iOS... I usually use Thunderbird, but I'd like to explore other options. FOSS not mandatory

 

I use the app in an iPad, a much of the time when I click with my finger on the comments icon, my finger hits the community link.

Anybody else have this problem?

 

We are happy, very happy, that you have joined the light side of the force, but here you are preaching to the choir. Go knock on doors and help others see the light. Oh, and sending some money to one of the thousands of FOSS projects that keep this running would be nice too.

Anyway, welcome again.
