  1. Slowly but surely everything gets to a point I'm seeing an improvement using Gridfinity after printing several spools of filament. Almost all my screws are organized, even the ones from my box or random screws.I won't stop but it will slow down a little bit as I need more cabinets with drawers as it is probably the most ideal environment.

          • I am 3d printing Gridfinity bins for weeks and yet it isn't enough. There is more things to organize. More things to put into bins. Printing grids, printing bins, printing labels, stacking bins, getting more metal cabinets, more to put into.

              • I *love* runny varnish. I was applying clear matte varnish on my wooden box and of course it had to run and form blobs. I thought my first coat was even enough and not too thick. Luckily only a few sides had those blobs and I could sand them down while half-cured and apply a second thinner coat of varnish.

                • 7 hours into my 32th birthday I've already caused all sorts of romantic chaos, had my crush hint very overtly that she would like me to fight with her boyfriend over her (won't, she made her choice) and had a drunk gay friend confess to me in an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive and pathological way (which would have been really hot if it was a girl)

                  It's turning out to be a VERY eventful day and I'm very happy for it.

                  I joined this place when I was 18 and I'm glad I haven't mellowed out at all in that time. Here's hoping in another 14 years things will be just as crazy still.

                • I did a second coating of the "black" wood stain. After some drying time it turned from dark purple to something I'd call black. A few minor spots needs another round of treatment because I've missed them or the wood didn't want to absorb the stain that well. Tomorrow I'll add a coat or two of clear varnish. After that I need to paint the inside with some acrylic paint to hide my finger prints and blotches from the stain (thankfully I used gloves). Another idea I have is to glue in a ferromagnetic plate on the inside of the lid for some magnetic storage options....

                  • At the flea market I bought a big wooden box for quite cheap. It was once a box with painting supplies and I plan to make it a box for miniature painting supplies. I ripped out the wooden dividers, filled some nail holes, sanded all the surfaces, and a few moments ago I stained the outside black. More like very dark purple. Not what I wanted but I can live with the slight purple tint. Also I finished printing corner protectors and most of the Gridfinity inserts for drop bottles for Army Painter paint.

                      • Buy cheap, get garbage. I bought myself a 3-tiered planter for herbs like parsley, chive, and majoram. The instructions had an error, the first step made assembling harder, and the final pieces did not fit. I had to use my bandsaw to make them fit. The wood and pre-drills are also cheap and rough. I was close to return it.

                        • I found the real culprit. It was a blob of PETG in the middle of the heat break. It was too far to be melted properly but close enough to let through a teeny tiny bit. It blocked the filament going through the nozzle at the expected rate. I tried to drill out the blob but I damaged the heat break and some of the threads in the heat block. Could have find it out sooner but the few days ago I couldn't be bothered to fully disassemble the hotend. As soon as the replacement arrives the assembly should be fairly quick. I can reuse the thermistor and heat cartridge. And the over all geometry and screw points should be the same too.

                          • A few days ago one 3d printer almost gone to flames and now the next one stopped extruding, I am done for today troubleshooting that after wasting more than half an hour changing nozzle, the bowden tube, testing for pinch points... I guess it is the extruder stepper motor or the main board stepper driver. Uuugh.... I want a new 3d printer.

                              • @pandaexpress Around that long yeah, glad to hear it came around for you in the end.
                                I've been pretty well all around. 2017 was kind of a mess but other than that, there have been a lot more upsides than downsides. Some losses sure, but death is unavoidable, all that is within my control ticks under my rythm and that's all that matters to say life is good.
                                Made a lot of friends, got new certifications and a different job, dropped my ex and had a lot of fun these last 8 years. All I can possibly complain of right now is that the stock market is not as good as I'd wish lol.

                            • The other day during Steam’s little demo showcase I downloaded a few demos. Today I tried out “Promise Mascot Agency”, a cute little open world mascot management sim/casual collectathon where the bulk of the gameplay is driving around in a Kei truck and talking to sentient mascots. Also the main character, completely by coincidence, is an ex-yakuza voiced by Takaya Kuroda (Kazuma Kiryu).

                              • @zeldatra After the great dissolution finding work is hard. The orphanage needs the money. Also it is funny that the main character is named "Michi". After Suzuki Taichi and Joryu, Kiryu named himself after a mascot.

                            • Yesterday, when I was starting a 3d-printing job, I was wondering why there was a funny plastic-y smell and why it took so long for the heat bed to heat up. A quite toasty surprise https://i.imgur.com/2O2CJsk.jpeg

                              • Watching the anime "KonoSuba". It is certainly degenerate. It is of a question if me watching gives me the same property by the adjacent relation. The MC is overly horny, all the women have huge wobbly bazongas, a woman of the main cast is deriving huge pleasure from being hurt, embarrassed, and all kinds of S&M.

                                      • The live-action Lilo & Stitch movie looks like a soulless husk. The actors are fine in the trailer. Everything else is just a huge pile of grape. The youtube comments below the trailer show how much Disney brain rot exist. I am clearly exaggerating but it is close. It will probably be like the other live-action films and milk enough money out of people's wallets to warrant yet another film.
                                        What will be next? Oliver & Co live-action? The Black Cauldron live-action? Song of the South remake/live-action?

                                        • The radiator knob replacement part I 3d printed works. It took me a few attempts as I wasn't thinking it through properly due to assembly issues and needed to work around the fact that I cannot disassemble the knob to get the part into it. Now I have to return the non-working replacement I bought yesterday.
