Doubtful. The main reason I could see a 3D printer starting a fire is either thermal runaway, often caused by bad software (on cheap printers) or electrical issues. You can check your wiring and make sure that nothing looks loose and all of your cables are in good condition. You can also make sure that your printer firmware is up to date. It's a Prusa right? I think you should be safe from software failure in that case, as they're quality.

If you're really concerned about it, you can also move your power supply, and even your mainboard, outside of the enclosure by using longer cables. This would keep the majority of the electrical components away from the foam and heated box. From my position I don't see an issue, but that's my personal opinion -- not legally accountable information. I will say that Stefan on CNC Kitchen uses foam as well, to get rid of ringing in prints. If you decide to go through with it, just use common sense and check to see if anything is hot. You might also get some benefit out of looking into silent stepper motors/drivers and trying to make the printer itself quieter.

I haven't used it outside of Windows Firefox and Android but it works great for me as well.

For mobile specifically: Rarely do I have any issues, and when I do, I have a quick panel button for Bitwarden (top drag down menu) that lets me manually trigger it. I can't think of any apps that it doesn't work with. My one nit is that autofill credit card info doesn't work often, but obv that's a secondary use, and the info is still with me if I ever need it on the go. And adding new login info can be a little tedious on mobile -- much easier to create it first, then autofill. Highly appreciate the 2FA feature too. The auto copy feature feels really seamless regardless of if I'm on my phone or not.

I'd be curious what issues you seem to be running into with it.

I think you're right to complain, but at the same time, aren't single use plastics much lower on the pollution scale than, say, the fishing industry or other industrial plastic pollution? It makes sense to reduce and reuse, I try - but also find it beyond helpful to have a bunch of (unorganized) baggies strewn about for things like loose screws, storing filament spools, organizing USB cables, etc. I could definitely use something like this instead of a black hole under my sink. I know it's easy to judge -- esp without the whole picture -- and hopefully people aren't polluting willy nilly, but curiosity is a better approach than judgment or shaming when it comes to changing minds, wouldn't you agree?

I really enjoy the podcast Deeper Dating. The host, Ken Page, is one of the most emotionally in-touch men I've heard from. More so than a lot of women, honestly. Also, therapy and men's groups are a great start too. Consider poetry, talks from Brené Brown, books on attachment styles, and engaging with more emotionally intimate people in your life - even just as friends, male or female.

I haven't been yet personally, but I have a lot of friends who go every year. Some of the things that they love about going are the big cultures around consent, the random awesome and unique things that you find everywhere, spending time with friends, a lack of money economy, being your completely human self w/o any judgement, and basically stepping into a world that's separate from the rest of society. You'll find a lot of these things at local burns as well. If you are getting curious, I would really encourage the latter. Regional or local burns are like mini burning men with a similar vibe, but a lot more conscientious and tight-knit. The best way to get into one is to find a facebook group for the one closest to you. Sometimes they'll meet up outside the events, and you can go to ask questions and to coordinate. Since there's a lack of money economy, everything is done either with trades or with shared responsibility. There's something at burning man called "radical responsibility" where each person is responsible for their own wellness and contributions. So you can't go expecting there to be vendors or other people with food or water or what have you -- it's important to figure those things out ahead of time so that way you're not a burden on others (which allows you to be a contributing member of the community and show up fully). Like I said I haven't actually been, so I don't know the full details, but that's most of what I do know! Most people I've met that go are some of the most interesting people I know and really know how to party and what life's about for themselves, so I recommend finding out more :)

That reminds me of an interview I did. It was a partial graphic design/videographer sort of job (my focus is in design). I was looking to break into the field, it was entry level. But the guy interviewing didn't want to fund or provide any kind of equipment like cameras. He suggested to me that I could crowdfund to get equipment so I could work for him. Seriously, lol. It was entry level pay too. Anyway, I was pretty quick to tell him I wasn't at all okay with my social circles and family funding things necessary for a new job.

My guess is that it's more social than biological. Women have a tendency to form closer, more emotionally available, and more plentiful relationships with others -- I believe partially due to hormones/brain development and partially due to culture. They've done studies that show that having strong social relationships is important to lower stress and loneliness, which can lead to a longer life. I'm not sure if that's all of it but it definitely couldn't hurt to work on those things :)

I was just playing split screen multiplayer on PC a couple days ago. Not sure where you heard that PC didn't have it, if that's what you're implying. Seems to be working fine.

What seems to be the issue? If you got those mesh numbers using a probe, it just indicates that your bed is unlevel. You can home it, then disable the steppers to move the hotend around, and do the paper test. If you haven't leveled your bed before then you can google the paper bed-leveling test.

I say this because it seems like your bed is slanted downwards on the bottom-left corner (and/or slanted upwards on the front right corner). No offense if you do know how to level your bed though, if it's some other sort of issue do let me know.

Check out the Positron! It's the most portable one I've seen. The guy behind it, Kralyn, been providing the plans to the community so you can make it yourself.

Since he's released it to the public, it's possible that you might be able to find someone else selling them commercially rather than having to build it. The latest version is V3. It's so small it can fit into a filament box!

Me too. I keep forgetting that it's a thing. I just can't imagine going to a dinner party and talking to the other adults about one's career as an influencer..

I'm endlessly fascinated by the kind of people who make comments like Mr. Downvote here. Who reads something like this and is like, "huh, I have no idea what the shit is going on, guess I'll poke fun at this person hehe 🙂" or maybe "I don't have a good comeback for this but this person seems really smart, this will show him 😁" I love and hate the internet, lol. If there's one thing I honestly miss, it's going through and laughing at the kind of nonsensical comments under so many posts.
