oftentimes the tendency/ability to keep posts cycling for years through reblogs feels less like a pleasant cultural baseline and more like the closest thing this website has to long-running commercials. instead of a television jingle, I have that Foucault quote — "While we sit discussing the word, power moves in silence." — just within semi-conscious reach. Now I've read a Foucault book. I've read a couple explanations of what he means by "power" and a few essays that riff on his ideas, but the man is not my bread and butter. why should I have that one koan unintentionally memorized?

Ordered a new main board for the 3D printer. I decided to go with the BIGTREETECH SKR Mini E3 V2.0 over the Creality V4.2.7 since I'd eventually like to get an automatic bed leveling upgrade and the SKR Mini has more customizability than the V4.2.7, such as better dual Z-axis support out of the box. The Creality board also has some negative reviews about how difficult it is adjusting power output (which I'll need to do for the dual Z-axis) and that Creality itself made it impossible to change specific parameters, for some reason.
I'll have to configure the firmware of the Mini myself though, which sounds kind of tricky, but if thousands of other people have figured it out then it can't be that hard. The documentation for this thing is wonderful.
The new board should be here on Friday. Very excited. This was the last upgrade I wanted to get before printing 1:1 scale Outrage parts. After installing the new board, reinstalling the second Z-axis, and recalibrating everything, it should print like butter. I'd be surprised if I didn't have at least 1:1 scale part printed by the end of April.
The first piece will probably be part 16, which is the smallest. I think my first estimate put its total print time at about 13 hours, but I've changed some settings since that estimate. It might take 14 or 15 now. Part 16 is the pommel half of the handle:
16 will be the first because if it prints bad (or fails) it won't be as big a waste of filament. Part 12 will be the last one; the estimate for it was at least 24 hours.

The stuffie I was planning to get with my perfectly planned cart of items for February went from $19.90 to $25 overnight and now I’m over my monthly budget :( I’m panicking trying to find another stuffie that I want but it’s so hard to find good quality stuffies below $20 with free shipping
