Hi. New to pottery. Taking a class once a week and it would be useful to do some work at home. We live in a very small 800 sq/ft space so I’d be working in the kitchen. Is it safe to do some glazing and building here at the house in the kitchen?

Hi. I need a second pair of calipers to keep at school. I’d like to spend less than $50. I prefer vernier calipers but I’m fine with electronic. I will be using these for making parts using FDM 3D printing so I don’t need a certified Mitutoyo calipers.

Any recommendations?

Hello! I just unboxed three M5Cs for my classroom today. After years of using SD/micro-SD cards to print files I’m finding the wireless/cloud based method of printing to be liberating.

That said, it’s not perfect. Is there a way for me to slice a series of student models and then put them in a queue/spooler or store the gcode so that I can print the next file via cloud on whichever printer is available next? I haven’t found a way to do that yet. I see that I can export gcode but I don’t see a way to send the gcode to the printer later on.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have an early 1940s Royal with the Magic Margin. I don’t remember the model name off the top of my head.

The ribbon advances from right to left, but when it gets to the end and I hit the ribbon direction switch the ribbon does not go the other direction. I can see that the spindles are spinning in the appropriate direction with the ribbon spools removed and the hood open.

Any thoughts on what is going on here? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi. I have poked around this subreddit and haven’t found the answers I’m looking for. I think the problem may be my lack of vocabulary.

I’m looking for a projector to use as part of an art installation and I want a device that projects straight out from the lens for easier alignment when mounted to a tripod. I’ve been projecting into hollow translucent tubes and the task is made much more complex because my projectors all throw the image upwards at an angle. The geometry gets very weird and digital keystoning is an unsatisfying and inadequate solution.

What am I searching for? What is it called when a device projects the image straight out of the lens?

I’d also be interested in any spec

Whoops I’m pretty far along (28.5k residents) and just realized I never got a cherry tree planted but I’ve filled up my whole Evergarden with brightbloom/shadeblossom/etc.

Is there a way I can either weedwhack some plants or increase my number of plots? I’m at 340 plots and 30 wells.

I think I messed up.

I’m so sick of waiting for this

Hey I’m about to purchase my first Prusa (a Mini+) and I’ve been experimenting with PrusaSlicer with my current printers and I don’t think I like it as much as Cura.

I see some questions and answers about Cura here on the forums but I’m wondering if there are any issues running a Prusa printer with Cura? I’ve had a hell of a time trying to get my Lulzbot printers working with “normal” Cura and PrusaSlicer. I don’t know if that is a Lulzbot specific problem.

tl;dr: Can I run a Prusa using Cura without making my life too difficult?

My six year old cattledog sheds when it starts to warm up (we are touching 80° already here in AZ). In the past she she’d evenly all over her body but then last summer she shed in clumps and it’s happening again this spring. It’s always on her hind legs. Any thoughts? Has anyone else seen this? She just had a checkup and blood work, she’s healthy otherwise.

I am new to LBR and I’m playing on iOS. I think the app is broken. It doesn’t seem like flask converters are running except when I have the app actually running. Leaf converters continue to chug away when I leave the app but not flasks. This is a bummer.

Any thoughts? Should flask converters be running when idle? Is the iOS version broken?

Can anyone recommend a matte metal bracelet for a matte modded SNK with a SKX face? I gifted this watch to my college-age son and he loves it but he prefers metal bracelets over the strap it’s on now.

Just curious: What’s the political environment like at Mines? I suspect it’s fairly conservative as colleges go. Any thoughts?

Macalester seems like an interesting and very liberal college. I was surprised to discover the affiliation with the Presbyterian church after reading quite a bit about the school. Is it a religious school? How might an atheist/humanist person feel there?

Any thoughts on the differences between these two machines? It looks like the main difference is 600x600 dpi vs 600x300dpi. I’m assuming it makes sense to just go for the 9450. Price difference is roughly $900 ($6800 vs $7700). Once we dump this much money it seems like it makes sends to pony up the extra 900 bucks. Any other thoughts?

Hi, I’m just curious how Risographs do when they sit unused for a couple months. We are about to purchase one for use in my deartmebt at school and it might not get used over the summer. Is that a problem?

(Obvious answer is to come in and use it a couple times during the off season but still we’d like to know what if it doesn’t get use?)

Or what if you don’t use a particular drum for a couple months?
