Actually my first time; I had to order them just for this, and they’re great! Now I have extras ready for the next project.

Haha, same here. We’ve been on this ride before, and it wasn’t fun the first time.

Lol, yeah it does add up!!

Congrats on 4 weeks! You don’t have to let this shit election screw it up. If you want, the folks at stopdrinking are pretty supportive:

No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.

A YEAR ago?? Was there a second one!?

👀 did not let me down

I thought it was over, and then it just kept going hornier and hornier

This is the comment that best explains it for me. I started with vim for comfort (less movement to mouse, and less reliance on modifier keys). The editing grammar is something I didn’t really understand until I started gradually using it, but now it’s the thing I most appreciate. I don’t know if I’m necessarily faster in vim, but my work is more fluid. The editing doesn’t interrupt my thinking as much.

Loves Ukraine though.

Freecad +1

WAIT !

I think each person has to recognize that there is a time/energy cost to get out of enshittification hell, and then decide how much they’re willing to pay. If the answer for you is at least “an afternoon of video tutorials”, then Freecad will be fine for you. It’s a complicated tool that you need some help learning; that’s ok. It won’t become your new hobby.

If you don’t want to pay that cost, that’s understandable. If you feel mad that there is a cost at all, that’s ok too. That’s how enshittification works, and it sucks. As I said, each person will have to decide whether and how much they’re willing to pay to get out of it.

Anyway, the MangoJelly tutorials in YouTube are really excellent, and will have you up and running in a few hours at most. (My CAD needs are also very basic, and I was done after the first two parts, 30 min each.) For following along, I would recommend just using the main version, so that it matches his tutorial exactly, and do the steps as he shows you. It feels dumb, but it’s such a fast way to learn. You can decide later if you want to switch to one of the other branches, depending on what features you care about or what annoys you most.

Here’s one of his later videos about tracing from a photo, but I haven’t watched it:

You can do it!

I had the same realization. I spent 3-4 hours fiddling with different settings, with no impact, and then 1 hour drying did the trick!!

The meme leaves out the very important detail that most of the researchers working “for free” in the first panel are definitely getting paid, and usually by public funding (public universities and/or grants from taxpayer-funded institutions like NIH, NSF, etc.). That’s a big part of what makes it a scam.

Same, but we knew it was going to be about tortillas didn’t we.

Marcel, the Shell with Shoes on: the wacky shit he says in the opening interview, and the completely straight way it’s handled, made me realize this was just something completely different from the simple kids movie I was expecting.

Wow, same here. Upvote just for explaining how to turn that dang grid off!!

Also, there are lots of KB stls out there. OP printed this one, and thought it was good enough to share (and I agree). So, it’s useful to know which particular one they used. And, if it’s not their stl, then linking is a way of giving credit to the stl author too. One more point: any issues or adjustments they made, for that particular stl, are useful to know (like they posted below, finally).

I see the OP did update with the stl below. But I wanted to post here to say it’s just good manners to add a reference for the specific stl of a print that was good enough to share.

Oh, haha, that’s a weird bug; thanks for the tip.

Thanks!!!
