  • TPU that’s been printed right sticks to itself extremely well

    I’ve done many TPU prints that were stressed to hell and they hold up amazingly well. Like 2000 lb shock loads on little 2mm walls, hundreds of times, and not tearing or delaminating. Ninjatek Cheetah and Fiberflex 40D mainly, but others seem to hold up really well too.



  • My curator (some might say wife) had me reading On Writing by Stephen King. I am definitely not a writer but I liked it and think his advice could apply in some form to a lot of creative endeavors. There are a lot of funny parts in the first section, and I liked the tone (I’ve never read a Stephen King book so I didn’t know what to expect). I thought it maybe got hung up too long on his hit-by-a-van episode, but that was still interesting.

    Now I’m reading How to become the Dark Lord and die trying by Django Wexler. The tone was off-putting at first (and it’s almost like he shook a salt shaker of “fucks” all around the first 10 pages for no reason), but 40 pages in its either mellowing or growing on me and I’m looking forward to the rest.
