  • I have a pair of Mono 6ks’s and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

    I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

    Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and “8k resin” may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

    (The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

    It is partially the land sure, but don’t forget where the main natural gas reserves are in Ukraine. It’s not a coincidence that Russia has been specifically targeting Donbass for years now.

    The entire function of Crimea is to help form a land bridge to grab those resources.

    Edit: It’s obvious by the removed comments that Russian Nazis are in control of this sub. I have as much proof of that as that Kremlin shill does that we are replying to.

    And also, the US and Europe are having to fund the infrastructure repairs in Ukraine as well. You seem to not notice that Russia is specifically targeting civilian infrastructure before winter.

    Russia has clearly stated, multiple times, that Ukraine is basically a gateway into Poland. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense to suppress Putin’s efforts in Ukraine.

    Russia shouldn’t be invading countries period, actually.

    Estimated Russian army spending is between $85-$105 billion USD. (This has likely skyrocketed since that that estimate was taken as Russia has transitioned to a wartime economy.)

    Chinese? ~$212-$230 billion USD.

    Spending on military is better put in context of GDP, and actual spending is going to be very different than published or even estimated numbers. (It’s likely much more, is what I am implying.)

    I actually agree that this money is better spent on social welfare. It’s a stupid situation across the board and many countries are guilty of this disparity.

    For better or for worse, much of that money goes back into the overall economy of the country supplying the aid. Not all, but most. (This can get complicated due to the lifespan of specific types of munitions.)

    What I am saying is that there is a ton of blame to pass around and poking at one country or another is an agenda, not a solution.



  • Any in many ways, that is the way engineers should speak to other engineers when analyzing a problem.

    If two or more people can actually share a common goal of finding the best solution, everyone involved should be making sure that no time is wasted chasing poor solutions. This not only takes the ability to be direct to someone else, but it also requires that you can parse what others are telling you.

    If someone makes something personal or takes something personal, they need a break. Go take a short walk or something. (Linus is a different sort of creature though. I get it.)

    TBH, this is part of the reason I chose my doctor (GP). She is extremely direct when problem solving and has no problems theory-crafting out loud. Sure, we are social to a degree, but we share many of the same professional mannerisms. (We had a short discussion on that topic the other day, actually. I just made her job easier because I give zero fucks about being judged for any of my personal health issues.)
