Would a larger inner diameter not cause the transmission of movement to be less direct due to bending and coiling inside the tube? This is probably mostly an issue in bowden systems

Uh, I must admit I don’t know about that bro method.
There are some serious differences between a badly made loaf and a well done one though. You never stop learning. But yeah, it’s easy to get something passable.
Yeah, very nice. It will be tough to bootstrap since you need a critical mass of people who ideally live close together so that it’s cheap and quick enough to deliver the items in question.
I’ll give it a try. Nothing to loose.
Interesting. I might have a look. Actually I don’t have a problem with speed though. I spend most time not dealing with pip and pip-tools but reading docs, programming and fixing the weirdest bugs
Pip-tools!
Sorry, I completely didn’t read all of your comment. You’re right about resistance but then again the filament won’t need to touch the enclosing coil at a large surface. In the usual bowden tubes, you have a lot of contact surface between tube and filament but this would not need to be the case in the drying coil. In the end it would all depend on the application. I’m not interested in very high speed printing (yet) because my machines are all pretty slow :).
You “just” need a longer distance inside the drying chamber. This could be achieved by coiling up the space where the filament travels through and guide hot and dry air through that space, ideally from the outlet towards the inlet. That air could maybe be pulled from the hotend cooler.
Argh finally someone tries the obvious solution. I was already considering it but was demotivated since it seemed so obvious and nobody seemed to have done it before.
This device could also probably be printed in PLA. I can’t wait until I get my lab power supply so I can give this a try with a wire coil heater.
Edit: you could even mount some PTFE tubing mounted below a heated bed and pass air through it. That way you could potentially get away without a heating element and re-use some power usually lost.
Full agree!! I use the dev version too!
The 1.0 release is around the corner. It’s only a matter of a few weeks. It has the toponaming problem fixed and a built in assembly toolbox!
I’m interested to hear how it turns out!
Not true about xmpp in general. There are modern clients out there.
What’s your problem with xmpp?
I totally agree about rate limiting, mostly against bad passwords that you are not in control of. But banning failed attempts is mostly not interesting if you ask me. It feels like the right thing to do, but IP addresses can change and other measures are better.
It’s debated whether software like fail2ban actually helps or if it just makes attacks visible that would anyways fail if you have up to date software. Oftentimes, defensive software adds attack-surface because it adds more software that can be targeted by attackers.
Fail2ban might help with protecting against exploiting of bad passwords though.
Me too :D
A symmetrical profile, when having a non zro angle of attack, is actually not symmetrical anymore.
Did you measure that? Would be great if it was only fractions of a mm.
