Burritos are easy to meal prep. Make your own shit and stop paying these clowns.

Yeah fuck those guys. Had an awning built over our patio and didn't even get through the whole summer before one started digging a hole into one of the rafters. Our backyard is now a no-fly zone for those bastards.

We have a white noise machine for my son in his room, but having it handy via Spotify is nice for using it in the car.

The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.

Thoughts on the AnkerMake M5 3D Printer? I've been eyeballing it as my next printer. I like the improved speed and the quality of life features (auto level bed, error detection).

This is where I'm at. I'm very new to 3dprinting and I've really been happy with my ender3. I've been putting money aside and had plans for upgrading parts, but when I look at better machines, the price point is pretty close to the ender3 with upgrades.

Man I have no idea! From the previous comment I thought it made sense. I redid the print yesterday and it printed exactly how it looks in Cura with a top and bottom.

Oh my goodness, why didn't I see that before! Thank you for pointing out something so obvious.

 

I just got into 3D Printing (got my Ender 3 two weeks ago) and I've been loving the experience! Learning lots of new things as well as making a few mistakes and learning from those.

I found this model and wanted to print it for a fish tank:

In some of the Make screenshots it looks like the model doesn't have a bottom. However when I brought the model into Cura, it looks like the model had a top and bottom portion.

Because of that, I thought it would need supports so I went ahead and printed accordingly. When the print finished, it was just like the Make screenshots provided. No big deal, it was super easy to remove the supports. However, reviewing the model in Cura I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that it wouldn't have the bottom printed.

Thanks in advanced!

Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I'm in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I'm ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I'll start figuring out the best ways to paint.

It's been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there's always something to learn or just improve your current process.

The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.
