Prusa dun good with this surprise update.

Modified MINI: Revo hotend + Bondtech extruder

Side notes (will add more as I test this firmware):

• The pre-sliced benchy from Prusa is a bit of a hack. While it does showcase the new speeds, you are not going to get the best performance when you slice it in Prusa Slicer. The new printer profile is good, but it is absolutely in alpha. (I amended a comment below where I was moving all settings to max.)

• Factory Prusa profile for IS, only uses 0.4mm nozzles (I have been using 0.6mm nozzles exclusively for a while now)

• If your belts are still stock, order new ones now. The stress that is getting put on the belts now is a little more extreme. (FYI: There was an error in the F1 x-gantry stop where it might wear the belt excessively, so look close.)

• I have properly packed all the bearings in the printer with grease so they are not as noisy as they would be stock. Be prepared for bearing noise, is what I am saying.

• Faster printing is causing ~-2°C drift on my REVO nozzle. That is expected and might be able to PID tune for better stability. It's not bad, just something of note.

• "BonkersBenchy" was sliced with Prusa 2.6.2a. and accelerations are set at 8000mm/s^2. There are other subtle changes in the gcode that affect total print speeds, so dig into them if you need mor fasts.

• The printer compensates OK when the print speed is manually set to 255 (absolute max). Your top layer bridges are going to have a rough time. It may work or, your print will be ripped off the bed because the first top layers aren't exactly studio quality. (I should say it adjusts to max speed better than it did with older firmware.)

I had a bit of grain left during my last run, so I mixed the bits I had left.

This is interesting, actually. Over the next few months, I'll continue this experiment to see what grain mixes might work better for spawn.

While this wasn't a "proper" test, I had still hypothesized that the higher starch content in the popcorn would do better. I guess not.

I'll try and separate testing into different categories like starch content, moisture content, mycelium strain, etc. There is probably a ton more conditions to isolate as well.

Mastodon rocked as always, but I had never seen, or ever heard, Gojira before.

If they tour again soon and you get the chance, absolutely check Gojira out! They put on a kick ass show.

• We added even more pointless legendary items that won't drop after level 30
• Legendary items now have an increased chance to roll stats that would only work on your other characters
• The stash from every character across all Battle net games from every player will now be loaded into memory (Player have been asking for an improved stash since D2, so we are happy to deliver.)
• Seasons will introduce more bugs that will be quickly fixed with patches that contain more bugs
• Infinite CC will now be replaced with random suicides. All spells now have a 5% chance to kill you.
• Your battle pass token rewards dropped from 666 to 333
• Dozens more useless unique items will be included that you have zero chance of ever getting. We worked hard on this one.
• You now get to pay yearly for promised improvements we will absolutely never deliver on
• Sorcs can now teleport completely out of the open world. Previously, this was limited to teleporting inside of walls and under the ground.
• Barbarians are getting removed. We are replacing the barb with a paladin that is so broken, you will be begging for your Barb back.
• All useless skills will be buffed 200%
• We are including gem stacking! Since you really don't need more than 20 gems per character, have zero sell value and have tons of weird stats, we wanted to give players a way to collect thousands of them.

Blizzard would never be as successful as it is without community feedback! Thanks for giving us loads of creative suggestions that we will never, ever implement.

Spoiler: I hope to have many more years on this planet, so y'all are stuck with me for the time being. :)

Once the party alure of shrooms wore off, I was still stuck wondering how deep the rabbit hole actually was.

After months (or eons?) of searching all the galaxies in the universe and turning over every metaphorical stone in my brain, I still never found the mystical "42" that everyone kept talking about.

For me, the years of searching for the meaning of life ended right were it started. I had nothing and still have nothing. And I was baffled.

Yet, I felt that this primitive form of life, ney, this thing, this humble fungi, was trying to teach me something. Many times before, my brain has formed this idea: Listen to what the mushroom is telling you.

So, I stood back and looked: Mycelium, in its most basic form, bridges the gap between life and death. It is an extremely efficient nutrient eating machine and it poops out more life wherever it goes. It is a simple, yet extremely elegant and complex creature.

The it hit me like a freight train filled with PE: The mycelium quite literally dissolves the barriers we are taught in life: You are born. Hard stop. You then die. Hard stop.

Life never dies. It gets converted millions of times over into different forms, but yet, it is still life. The artificial and insignificant barriers of life and death are meaningless to mycelium. If one cell of it manages to survive my compost heap, I can say with near certainty that in a few thousand years, that one bitch of a cell will have multiplied a trillion times over and eaten half the neighborhood. (Life, uh, finds a way.)

Mycelium is quite literally the honey badger of humanities rules and honey badger don't give a fuck what you think.

My main takeaway from this is something that the fungi figured out 650 million years ago: You are already immortal, you idiot. Sure, this body will die eventually, and get converted into some other form of life.

What is life? I am life. It took billions of years and several iterations of stars, and here we are. The universe had to cram a fuck ton of actual energy into what we are now. In the words of one of my heros: We are starstuff.

You, me and everyone in this planet is a glorious example of how the universe is becoming self aware. Right in front of our eyes, we can see the infinite number of combinations life is testing. Every living thing on this planet is an example of how life itself probes trillions of different combinations of things at the exact same time. Like it or not, we are the sum of all the good and evil on this planet.

Now it becomes clear that the geometric patterns and the fractals that we see during our trips are a bit of delicious humor: If you keep zooming in to those patterns, you are only going to end up where you started, friend.

So, today, I actually believe that I was the closest to death that I have ever been and it was the most humbling and beautiful experiences of my life. I truly believe I held the lightswitch of this life in my hand and could have easily pushed that button, but it didn't matter. Life is immortal. We are immortal.

Today, I saw nothing, but yet, I saw everything.

For each additional screw that I add to the above project with a specific torque, say 2ft/lbs, what additional factors do I need to take into consideration to be able to calculate compression force across an entire 3D part?

Obviously, I don't have enough data to solve for anything at this point. I would just like to learn how to visualize this problem with proper maths. (For this project, I am just using the "mor screw, mor better" approach. However, I will need to reduce weight eventually.)

Cheers and take care!

Coco Coir, Vermiculite for the substrate and that is it.

Could I be growing rice? Lol! (This might be a hint as to why I had issues with Kroger brand precooked rice bags...)
