    Yes? But also like…the extruder is pooping onto a sheet of what is now ice, depositing it in a place it now refuses to stay. As it changes direction, the extruder can run into the loose filament, sticking it to the extruder, expanding upon the surface area of what is now hot metal and plastic for the extruded filament to stick to.

    Far as I know, it’s mostly due to the oils from your skin creating a layer on the build plate that, essentially, lube it up. So while the build plate can look clean, it most definitely isn’t. The cleaning of the plate is more so to remove the oils than anything else.








  • Never thought I’d see a post resonate so perfectly with my own thoughts as well about being in Oklahoma. And this is coming from someone who comes from a very conservative family, worked with very conservative people for most of my adult life, and went through our failed education system. Shit sucks man, but luckily I’m in a position where I get to see that there’s people in power who also see the sad state the state is in and are looking to change it. But, I’m also not holding my breath for change…just hoping.
