Tnut should do the trick. If not you could use the same bolt all the way through for the tensioner but that might be a pain to line up right.

If I recall correctly that hole goes all the way through the extrusion.

Worst case you can use a bolt and nut.

And if it’s not loud enough put it in a small metal pan or bowl, and place that inside a partially opened dresser drawer. Amplifies it quite a bit in addition to your suggestion to physically get up to turn it off.

Best upgrades for me was the following in order of overall impact

Klipper
BTT Skr mini e3v3 board
Silicon bed spacers
Klackender mod by KevinAkaSam
G10 build plate
Orbiter extruder and dragonfly hotend for direct drive
Belted Z mod by KevinAkaSam

More recent EBB36 canbus for the tool head mainly because it frees up some ports on the control board for other things like my Nevermore.

For overall quality and reliability the following have the biggest impact.

Ensuring the physical frame is as square as possible. As well as adjusting and shimming things such as folded aluminum foil under the Z extrusions to get them square with the base.

The board and Klipper are huge since it makes it easier to use the klack probe (Klicky for ender) and the silicone spacers allow me to dial in the screws with adjust_screws.

And skew correction because my X gantry is twisted (tested that on granite counter top) and after I’ve done everything else to ensure it’s physically right i still had to work around some of it with software.

Now I can just fire it up and print PLA, ABS (it’s in a grow tent enclosure), PETG and TPU without any issue.

The g10 plate works great with all of them, Klipper can compensate for any warping, build offset as long as the screws are properly adjusted (which I test every couple of months or after I’ve had a print that really didn’t want to come off.

I’m building a trident myself right now and I’m using the “Frankender” to do it with really great quality results.

What kind of printer is it?

And if you’re doing direct drive the more constrained path wouldn’t be a benefit. I’ve already purchased wider ID tubing for my trident build.

Depending on what it has to be printed out if your local library might be a good choice if they offer the service.

Possibly a little too close to the bed. Causing filament to push out and overlap beyond where it should.

Well said. It seems to all be about satisfying our expectations.

Or when expectations are subverted but then satisfied in a different way (jokes, puns, etc).

But basically confirmation of our pattern matching being right.

1,2,3,4… I will now say more.
5,6,7,8… I will not hesitate.
Satisfying

1,2,3,4… I will now say more.
5,6,7,8… I will not delay.
Frustrating

You will testify or you will be condemned to repeated resurrection until you rot and the last vestiges of what was your soul fade away in rotting corpse you’re bound to.

“You are in contempt!”

“Of the laws of nature, yes.” the rotting old woman says as her eyes go blank and her body collapses.

That brings me back. I’ve had that cd drive

Imagine, if you will. A world where string reverse changes the character codes of the string.

What beauty, what wonder would such a world have?

Destruction and despair. Developers unsure why their programs don’t respond correctly. Ships run aground on islands already overcrowded with those who were shipwrecked before. Signal antennas pointed towards the sun with it’s constant noise. Spacecraft whose exhaust melt to slag populated cities as people briefly scream their final terrors of pain and suffering.

This, is a world we should not want to live in. A world you can only find, in the Twilight Zone.

Even Microsoft did. Their Office Application libraries are phenomenal.

Scriptable object based libraries that work and do so cross platform. It’s a thing of beauty and I’ve never seen MS ever do anything even remotely like it again.

Asp MVC. Nope, different.

Windows code API’s. Nope, different.

But office… Excel.Sheets etc. [chef’s kiss]

Create a cryptocurrency that is generated based on the delta of the volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

It only becomes scarce as we lower climate change causing emissions.

I actually used this earlier myself. I also like to use the negative modifier which will “cut” the text from the part

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.

Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.

Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?

Besides the wear already mentioned you’ll definitely want to redo all your tuning. Retraction, pressure advance, etc is very different at that size. That applies to any nozzle diameter change but especially when you go smaller.

Also, if you’re going small for detail you may also want to focus on slowing down and finding the right temp to speed balance. Especially since there’s no point upping flow and losing quality.

I’ve done it a few times and had some luck but man the time to print was a pain. That being said I’ve never done anything like mini figs with a smaller nozzle but some have so definitely look for some resources there since the people who do that would be the best ones to give tips on getting quality from small nozzle FDM

It may have small fibers of something that is conductive.

For example have some work gloves that aren’t capacitive? Sew an X pattern into it with capacitive thread and you’ll be good to go.

As for nitrile gloves if the material is thin enough it won’t impede the capacitance sensing too much and they’ll be usable.
