Reading between the lines, this is corporate-speak for "this is a terminable offense for the employees involved." It's a holiday weekend in the US so they may need to wait for office staff to return to begin the process.

And in pre-industrial societies, peasants (almost entirely women, ranging from children to the elderly) commonly spent around 100 hours of labor to produce a single square yard of fabric to clothe their families (fabric was too expensive fo

Guns can be made out of simple geometric shapes like tubes, blocks, and simple machines like levers and springs. There is mathematically no way to distinguish a gun part from a part used in home plumbing - in fact you can go to the plumbing

Maybe that makes sense for a single-machine application where you also control the hardware. But for a networked/distributed system, or software that runs on the user's hardware, the action might involve a decision tree, and a log

Most of the time my time spend operating my A1 Mini is... maybe 2-3 minutes per plate? Drag and drop into Bambu Studio, run the slicer, send the job to the printer, come back in 4 hours and grab my prints. I might need to break off the supp

My experience is that a lot of dads are getting into these hobby at around the same time their kids are also the age for it. It's something to spend time with the family, as well as multiple families to do together.

This site isn't about Warhammer, that's an entirely separate hobby. Warhammer figures are much larger (around 1:56, but the characters are mostly superhumans and monsters, so in practice the figures are much larger) and there&#x27

I can easily find 4kg for $40-45 online, or if I am patient I can grab 1kg for $10-12 on sale. You may be looking at more advanced materials like carbon fiber or fiberglass reinforced filament for printing larger parts that take a load&#x2F

Yeah a lot of my friends legitimately enjoy the art of making or modifying models in Blender, and the science of testing different print profiles, materials and processes.

Most people I know buy STL files from MyMiniFactory because the cost of the STLs is already a tiny fraction of the price of buying models at the local store. We spend more on the paint to paint the figures than we do on the digital files. W

0.10 per figure is a order of magnitude+ overestimate. The paint will cost significantly more than the plastic.

At 22mm scale the cost of filament is basically negligible (literally pennies), but yes, you would have to either buy STL files or make them yourself in Blender.

An A1 Mini requires a smaller nozzle, a customized profile, specific filament, and quite a bit of work in Blender and the slicer to successfully print 32mm figures (approx. 1/56 scale). Even those larger figures aren't anywhere as
