    Personally, Hatchbox ABS has been one of my least favorite (read: pickiest) filaments. To each their own, but my luck with it has been less than stellar.

    I’ve switched to consistently using a glue stick and warping has largely ceased but had I not used it for my RatRig VCore3’s parts I would no longer be buying it lol. Definitely had more than my fair share of failures with it if all conditions aren’t ideal.


  • Gonna get downvoted for this probably but I honestly don’t care. I’m so sick and tired of hearing all the negativity and attacks and unrealistic over-the-top doomsday scenarios, from both sides. Regardless of who won, life is going to continue on just fine. The full on meltdowns are getting so damn old and it’s just tiring.


  • This is a pretty accurate summary from my experience. The only thing I’d add is that (from what I’ve read at least) some form of ‘smart’ album functionality is high on the priority list and shouldn’t be too much further down the line. It may be a more advanced customizable logic type of solution (again from what I’ve read) but the functionality of putting person(s) ‘x’ into album(s) ‘y’ (or similar) should be achievable.



  • So I went back and played around with LW to see what all has changed since I last looked at it, and I finally remembered what the fatal “flaw” was for me previously workflow-wise. The reason I’ve come to always rely so heavily on my bookmarking links approach is because it’s just a couple dead simple clicks, and more importantly it works identically everywhere - desktop, mobile, etc. doesn’t matter. The workflow is 100% identical everywhere with no additional apps or anything extra required. Having to open a PWA (or even a separate app if it were native) when I’m on my phone just to save a link is a few more clicks and I didn’t want to have to change up my workflow based on what device I happened to be on at the time I found something.

    However, since I last trialed LW I have made a real hard personal push to switch over to Firefox as my dedicated browser, and while there’s a few things I don’t like as much the ability to run extensions even on mobile is positively amazing. The LW one appears to not be compatible officially, but with a little persuasion appears to work just fine…and if that continues working then I could totally see myself switching over to this! Still poking and prodding and trialing it out, but fingers crossed!











  • Good question! I probably could try drying this filament again, just for kicks…I did dry it not too long ago but it’s probably been long enough that it couldn’t hurt. But yes I’ve seen this issue with virtually every PLA filament I’ve used when the factors I mentioned are all true.

    When this failure occurred, I was about 100 filament swaps in (it’s a multicolor print) so faint evidence of the nozzle purging/eject/reload/etc process in the midst of powerful fans is at least initially what I had attributed that to.
