Even though most of the work was done by someone else, I'm still kind of proud of this print. I dipped my toes into the water and edited the design in Blender to improve the design. I'll upload the cube tomato in a month or so when it grows into the mold.

Edit: if you downloaded the first versions, I made a couple revisions that have tighter tolerances. I noticed some errors as I was printing a big mold so that is fixed now with v.2.2.

Edit: I've made a v.3 but my account got banned for some reason (probably usage of a VPN) so I think I'll consider other platforms that are VPN friendly.

Edit: my new post and account is here

Been having issues with this Inland PETG. I've had so many failed prints. This 230C print temp and 80C build temp print was the least f***ed up print I had so far.

I also adjusted combing to Within Infill and retraction to 7mm at 60mms. All other settings should be default on Elegoo Cura N4P Normal settings

Some of the bridging is fine and there are sections that even look good but the rest are covered in blobs and stringing. The inside as it was printing was making noises and small pieces flew out as it was being scraped and stuff. The top layer shows a bit of what I mean.

I'm kind of new to this and can't seem to narrow down on what the issues are I found online. I've adjusted temps and only made it worse. I raised extruder a bit so that helped. I would like to make it looks as perfect as can be like my PLA prints.

Let me know your thoughts below, I'm happy to try them out.

I have a shelving structure that needs some organizing. It has lots of random stuff like computer mouse, cables, earbuds, headphones, papers, folders, binders, bottles, books. It's just a tower of horizontal floors with not organization whatsoever. So I've been looking at organizational solutions and came across gridfinity. I'm not totally into it because it's not an exact size, I might just print out other random bins I see online.

I'm open to any advice suggestions from you guys. Let me know in the comments below.

I recently lost my old BSA mess kit. They really don't make them like they used to anymore, closest one that looks like it is the Coleman 5 piece nested aluminum set. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. I want something small and compact like this that has a small metal pot, pan, cup.

I notice that unless a post is really popular on Lemmy, when you make a search online. You won't find it. Is there a reason for this and how do we make it so it's as easy to access like Reddit?

I currently have a Corsair H100i Pro XT AIO inside my Lian Li A4 H2O ITX case. I don't really like how loud my fans are blowing and I'm thinking of going either liquid cool or air cooled with Noctua fans. I want something as quiet as possible and good at cooling as possible. Any suggestions?

Every time I tune my balisong, there is tap. If I tighten too hard then the handles become stiff. Is there a better technique or tips and tricks to achieve better resilts?

Edit: I find that it's better to just tweak it in very small amounts. Still, if there's a better technique to getting results in faster times, let me know. I've seen squidindustries's videos on it and they seem to tune balisongs very quick.

I've noticed these communities aren't that big here so I decided to give them a little bump here.

Nice to see someone beat me to it. Here's a picture of my squidtrainer after being tuned.

Intro

This post is inspired by a post titled "Android to iPhone, whats it like? (Update)" by @CleoTheWizard@beehaw.org.

I grew up with an iPad and desktop computers and my family members also had Apple products. When I had the chance to purchase my first phone I did lots of research, I looked up the best smartphones at the time, I saw videos from Marques Brownlee, EverythingApplePro, Unbox Therapy, etc. It was a tough decision between Samsung S7 but I ended up getting the iPhone 7. Apple was all the rage at school, I got hooked into the ecosystem, even bought the first Airpods, used iMessage, and all the other Apple stuff. Their UI is very polished. I was even an iOS beta tester all 4 years I had it.

iPhone Experience

2 years ago, my iPhone 7 started to have severe battery issues and so I decided it was time to upgrade. I also did research on my phone choices at the time too. This time it was between the iPhone 13 and Samsung S22. I did a bunch of research on this one too, much like my previous phone and ended up choosing the iPhone 13. I preordered the phone right when it opened but then I changed my mind, I wanted a different color, so I canceled it but the color was gone. So, I ordered the Samsung S22. However, when I was doing my research, I got into privacy and security and the r/degoogle subreddit. So I saw these solutions like CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. I then cancelled that Samsung S22 order. I was amazed, I saw how private and secure these solutions were without even having to touch Google or Apple. Stuff like the Aurora Store and Fdroid sounded like really cool stuff. I cancelled my Samsung S22 order and bought a used Pixel 5, because I didn't want to directly support Google.

CalyxOS on Android Experience

I started off with CalyxOS because GrapheneOS sounded really hardcore and hard to use. The experience was amazing. I really liked Netguard and the firewalls for the apps. I used ProtonVPN, ProtonMail, Bitwarden, Signal. My ecosystem of Foss, privacy, and security was complete. However, after a year or so of using the OS, it started getting buggy. My distinctly remember that my volume would magically keep on raising to the max volume, it was a terrible bug. I would watch videos or listen to music and it will shoot up to 100% like someone was holding the power button. I tried to look up answers on this issue and couldn't find any solutions so I decided to try out GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS on Android Experience

I figured I heard a lot about this amazing project and so I should get on it before my device is no longer supported. I think I'm about a year into using GrapheneOS and I can say that it is amazing. It felt like a more refined deGoogled OS. I felt like CalyxOS was more like a few devs coming together and throwing some security tools and hardening it a bit but GrapheneOS has a much larger and dedicated team and truly making it the most private and secure Android operating system. With the compartmentalizing of Google Play Services or whatever it's called. I even found out that when using Location, they have their own SUPL and PSDS proxy servers. Instead of using Netguard, GrapheneOS has network permission toggles much like for mic and cam access. It's truly the best phone OS I have ever used. People can safely use Google Play Store like nothing happened and all the information is segregated and protected. It's been pretty stable and I couldn't be happier.

TLDR and Recommendations

That being said, iOS has its strength and weaknesses. Apple being very locked down and hard to break and mess up, Android being less refined and even more so the more you branch out away from Google. Would I change what I did? Not really, all of this helped me gain experience and evolve as a person. Would I recommend it to other people? I recommend GrapheneOS, if you are tech savvy and want to mess with phones a bit. The argument is fairly similar between the argument between Windows and Linux. Do you want to use something better and free you'll need to play around with or use something locked and just works at the cost of freedom, privacy, and security?

The official websites can probably explain it better than me:
