Trying a thing with labeling in a different color. Turned out not great, not terrible. Didn’t spaghettify, didn’t turn out quite right

There were several attempts

@ted Yeah, PLA, though from two different manufacturers. Orange is “PLA2” from FilaCube while black is from Sunlu

This is more promising: haven’t tried glue stick in awhile. Tried that now

Also, I’m gonna be finding little numbers all over the basement for months

@Triffen Well, this seemed weird, in that it’s a color change within the first layer, without using an MMU. Printed the orange first and then printed the black on top as a totally separate print. I think the orange wasn’t adhering well and then the print head knocked some of it around

First layer of the new attempt looking so much better with glue stick

@Triffen The numbers are recessed flush with the surface of the ring. This is apparently a trick in the design of this thing, kinda wish they were just printed raised as the final layer 🤷‍♂️

My wife made a new quilt and the boys have found it

(Also Cosmo is not the product of genAI, he really does have extra fingers)

Looks good this time! And what is this thing? It’s an upgrade to my coffee grinder so I can better dial-in the grind for drip and espresso

It’s a nice grinder, but with terrible controls. Before this mod, I had to turn a tiny knob roughly twice clockwise to get an espresso grind, then roughly twice back to get a drip grind. With this, it’s fewer turns and i can actually see a relative position

@Xzan @Triffen i think the design of this thing relies on flush numbers so the ring slips through a thin sandwich of other parts

Watching random Tim and Eric stuff and I forgot that somehow they got LeVar Burton, Peter Cetera, Ted Danson, and Richard Marx to play themselves all in the same episode?!

@giflian heh, no pictures of the full quilt yet as it’s been uninterruptedly occupied by cats 😅
