all the features you know and love from things up the tree
Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It's called "Background processing" in PrusaSlicer.
Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).
Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.
A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN server, and any packet on that path includes your IP address. So anyone attempting to decrypt your VPN traffic can trivially distinguish your packets from other users of the VPN server.
So your threat model assumes an actor with a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA, but not a regular computer capable of filtering by IP address?
Worth noting: "Visible includes mobile hotspot with unlimited data at speeds up to 5Mbps."
I just see Rick Astley's face with a play button. The main issue is that modern browsers disallow playing sound without user interaction.

See pictures 3, 5, and 6 in the gallery. The perfect hexagon shape seems to be artificial.
PLA, but I've only used it for sanding small models so heat wasn't an issue. PETG should be more heat resistant.
Yeah, but those sanding pads cost more than generic sandpaper.
Does mechanical error actually matter when using sandpaper? It seems like most of the error comes from holding the tool with your hands.
This is an adapter for holding sandpaper with an oscillating multitool. I designed it for a DeWalt DCS356, but it may fit other brands/models with the same blade interface. The Everclamp grid with sqwasher plate and thumbscrews lets you attach sandpaper, a sponge, or other irregularly-shaped object...
In other news, if you try to upload a file named uncalibrated_example.stl to Thingiverse, it fails with no error message, because somewhere they have a pr0n filter searching for rated\*x.
Some people might find this bundle_scad.py code useful. It combines an STL, SCAD, and all its dependencies into a single file.
You could still fill a watertight gyroid lattice with resin, if both volumes are accessible.
Though the defects are probably useful for releasing air bubbles.

if the upcoming adapters will support a NACS plug on an AC or DC circuit
The NACS to CCS1 adapters I've seen are DC only. An AC/DC adapter would somehow need to detect what kind of charger is connected and switch to the correct pins. Relays capable of switching 500+ amps are $$$.
it uses a much different protocol to communicate with the car so it wouldn’t initiate power if it’s not made for it
You say "it wouldn't initiate power", but how does the DC charger know if you're using an AC adapter?
I have one of these J3400 to J1772 adapters so I can connect my Hyundai to a Tesla destination charger. They'll probably get more popular as J3400 becomes the primary standard:
I'm curious what would actually happen if someone were to use such an adapter with a J3400 DC fast charger. I know it can't possibly work because the DC charging pins are connected to the vehicle's AC pins, but is there something in the J3400 standard to notice and reject such an adapter before DC voltage is applied?
I'm not sure if J1772 vs. CCS1 adapters contain anything that the signalling protocol could use to identify which is which. If the DC charger were required to passively measure the battery voltage before sending any power, that would probably avoid the "magic smoke" problem, but does the standard guarantee that this will happen?
This ridiculous contraption lets you refill a Squirrel Buster bird feeder using only two hands, without setting any parts on the ground except the bag of seed. Features: A small hook for hanging the tool itself A big post for hanging the feeder's outer shell upside down A funnel for adding bird seed...
I designed this wonky-looking funnel to fit my Squirrel Buster Legacy (and probably similar models), with hooks and posts that make it possible to refill the feeder without setting any parts on the ground.
This design of feeder needs to be located away from surfaces that a squirrel could stand on, so I assume a lot of people run into this problem. I don't really blame the company for making it so cumbersome to operate, because there's overlap between the smartest squirrels and the dumbest humans.
I think I found a counterexample to the common wisdom that more walls always create a stronger part.
The pictured S shape is 1.5mm thick, so printing with 2 walls leaves no room for infill. My testing wasn't very rigorous, but it seems that the hybrid structure of walls + rectilinear infill is 10-20% more rigid than walls alone. The infill adds strength by cris-crossing between adjacent layers.
I think it's fine to include a concentric top/bottom layer, but multiple identical layers weaken the part. I also tried 0 walls (infill only) and that was garbage.
This PrusaSlicer project cuts the original 3DBenchy.stl into parts, using 100% infill density for the aft hull and 10% lightning infill elsewhere. The resulting model floats upright when printed in PLA. This version is under 9 grams, but some of my previous test prints were over 12 grams and just ...
The goal of this project is to design a cover for an 8mm⌀ extension cord at my makerspace, strong enough to walk on, at minimum cost. The parts assemble to form a rigid triangle, with the top in compression and the base in tension. Filament usage: 170 g/m (52 g/ft) Filament cost at $20/kg PLA: $3.40...

I just did a 5 km run at -5°C, and this worked pretty well. Previously with the unmodified neck tube, my glasses fogged up and I couldn't get enough air.

>Create a series of captivating paragraphs that transport the reader to fantastical worlds and scenarios. Each paragraph should be a rich tapestry of imagery and ideas, exploring themes such as: > > \- An epic expedition into a mysterious, ancient civilization hidden in a lush jungle, revealing lost wisdoms and advanced technologies. > >\- Humanity's interstellar travels in a distant future, discovering a universe teeming with diverse life forms, advanced alien societies, and cosmic wonders. > > Feel free to expand on these themes or introduce new, equally mesmerizing concepts, crafting narratives that blend adventure, discovery, and the marvels of the unknown.

Am I the only idiot who keeps doing this?
- Looking at a random image in Firefox
- Click the hamburger menu > Zoom [+] a few times
- Click off the menu
- Zoom level snaps back to 100%
Of course, the problem is that when I "click off the menu", I'm clicking on the image, because it fills most of the screen. If I do the exact same thing in Chrome, the zoom level does not change.
If "revert zoom on click" is considered a sensible design choice, then clicking again ought to revert to the zoom level I just chose.
After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.
I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome's behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.
