    What’s the staying in the car thing?

      I spent 30 minutes sitting my car last night trying to think of a better way to mount my phone because I just got a 3d printer.

      It turns out that inventing still requires thought, and lots of it.

        Honestly, it’s probably not worth the effort to try and use a 3D printer for that unless you are printing with the more difficult materials like ABS or similar.

        PLA gets droopy just from the sun shining on it and will melt in a car in the summer. PETG is a bit better to the point where I personally haven’t had it deform from heat yet but from what I have heard the differences aren’t that big.

          I was initially going to do a dashcam mount, but I did read about the sun melting PLA. I live in Australia so it’s a bit of a put-off.

      I parked my car almost half an hour ago. Still here. Scrolling lemmy. I don’t know why. I’m hungry, I should make dinner. Help.

      not sure but i would imagine checking something from your phone and ending up browsing lemmy for an hour. this has happened to me. or cleaning up the car. this has not happened to me.

      I don’t know - I’ve avoided ever getting a license.

      It’d make more sense if it was going to a social event… since getting to the door and then perseverating about whether it’d be easier and less painful to go home is definitely a mood.
