I’ve been using various GNU/Linux distro over the course of the last 20 years. When I started out, packages could never be too fresh and cutting edge. Nowadays I’m an admin and I administer way too many VMs. I dream of a system that I never need to update. While I know that’s almost impossible if you want to be secure now might finally be the time I give slackware a try. I’m also old enough to be more curious about learning less but more in depth.

Me too

Libre office calc would do the trick also, every cell is a day for example

Why a gantt chart for a road trip though. There are not that many parallel things you usually do, no?

They don’t seem to not have been used as media props, but whatever.

What about some rollo blinds? We have them shut during daytime in summer in the rooms we don’t use all the time. They also help sleep in the dark if that’s your thing. The drawback is that they often create a weak spot wrt. Insulation.

Apparently it did. I only remember the three button version. Anyways, it was before its time. Now with the custom keyboard craze, it seems to fit perfectly. Then again, if I wait another 2 years, the chinese will provide me the thing for a quarter of the price.

Interesting. I might have a look. Actually I don’t have a problem with speed though. I spend most time not dealing with pip and pip-tools but reading docs, programming and fixing the weirdest bugs

Pip-tools!

Then just keep it and stop buying keyboards for no reason.

How much does a display cost? Reminds me of that keyboard that never materialised line 20 years ago by ArtLebedev.

Sorry, I completely didn’t read all of your comment. You’re right about resistance but then again the filament won’t need to touch the enclosing coil at a large surface. In the usual bowden tubes, you have a lot of contact surface between tube and filament but this would not need to be the case in the drying coil. In the end it would all depend on the application. I’m not interested in very high speed printing (yet) because my machines are all pretty slow :).

You “just” need a longer distance inside the drying chamber. This could be achieved by coiling up the space where the filament travels through and guide hot and dry air through that space, ideally from the outlet towards the inlet. That air could maybe be pulled from the hotend cooler.

Argh finally someone tries the obvious solution. I was already considering it but was demotivated since it seemed so obvious and nobody seemed to have done it before.

This device could also probably be printed in PLA. I can’t wait until I get my lab power supply so I can give this a try with a wire coil heater.

Edit: you could even mount some PTFE tubing mounted below a heated bed and pass air through it. That way you could potentially get away without a heating element and re-use some power usually lost.

Not only this. It’s also old news.

Full agree!! I use the dev version too!

The 1.0 release is around the corner. It’s only a matter of a few weeks. It has the toponaming problem fixed and a built in assembly toolbox!

I’m interested to hear how it turns out!

Welcome to Germany!

Great to hear, I’ll become a parent in a few months. It’s good to hear about how you feel since I used to feel pretty negative about having kids before we decided to have them.
