Yeah, I hear you on that. But my view is, that's how much it cost. Cancelling it won't make it cheaper in the future. Sometimes we just need to bite the bullet and pay for what we need.

It's more like an issue with initial quotes than the actual cost of the thing. The problem is, the public sees a big cost and screams "they're wasting our money!", but that's not really it at all. The government is trying to invest in needed infrastructure that benefits all of us in the future. Literally their job.

Mate, the infrastructure is reaching end of life anyway and needs replacing.

The benefit of doing it all at once is they were enlarging both terminals to allow better offloading of freight. Pay more now to spend less later.

The dumbest thing about changing teacher only days, is they are not counted in then mandatory number of days a school is open for. All this change will do is make them close earlier, so the kids will still be off school and parents will still need to make arrangements.

It's fucking stupid.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the continued creep of housing developments into productive farmland.

If developers want to increase density of housing in current areas, that's a good thing! I don't particularly care about how stylish a development is at this point in time. Besides, current cookie cutter housing is all ugly anyway.

I agree with you, and I think it's interesting to look at why there is a short term uptick in youth crime.

Congrats mate! Thank you for all your hard work on maintaining this little piece of the internet for us!

But the ambiguity comes from the crown ignoring the original, Te Reo document, in favour of the translates English version, then ignoring that as well.

I want these to become a thing, because they're awesome. But I doubt it actually will.

Plus, there are much more efficient ways to move large numbers of people. Still, ground affect craft are neat.

It's all good mate! Thanks for the suggestion. When I first started printing I had that exact issue.

Hey mate, I keep my filament in a dry cabinet at 5ish% humidity, and I've had the same results with two different filaments in there. I even chucked my filament in a food dehydrator at 40C for 12h with no effect. I'm pretty sure the filament is dry!

I love these! Thanks for sharing!

After sleeping on it, I remembered that my new heatbreak doesn't feed the bowden all the way to the end of the nozzle like the stock one does, so I'm pretty sure I have it seated correctly. I'll check it though, many thanks for the info! :)

 

Ok guys, I'm breaking down and posting here to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm greatful for any advice.

I have an upgraded flsun SR. I recently lost my computer (psu issue, waiting for replacement) and I took this opportunity to switch from Cura to Orcaslicer.

Over-all I'm very happy, and getting some good speeds, but I just cannot remove stringing no matter what I try:

  • Retraction from 0-7mm. After about 3mm, no further effect
  • Retraction speed from 30mm/s-50mm/s. No noticable effect
  • Travel speed and acceleration both high (up to 350mm/s and 6000 accel. No effect
  • Temp from 205-215 with no effect
  • Dried filament and different colours, no effect
  • Wipe on retract on and off, up to 2mm wipe distance and 100% retraction. No effect
  • Messed with scarf seams on and off, no effect
  • No effect from layer heights

My setup:

  • Printer - FLSun SR running klipper with a speede pad
  • Filament - Esun PLA+
  • Upgrades - Deported fans, OMG v2 extruder, volcano hotend and high flow cht nozzle
