  • IMO having the ability to do TPU is way more versatile than going to another rigid structural filament.
    ABS/ASA is just “pla but more impact resistant”.
    TPU is “haha funny squishy wait this turns into a living hinge?” and opens up a TON of print opportunities.
    I had a lot more fun trying out TPU (both high and low durometers) than switching to any other kind of filament. Whatever you print basically becomes shockproof l, is squishy/bendy, and you can chuck it across a room full-force with no problems. Super fun.

    However, TPU is happiest with a direct drive extruder. High durometer (95a) TPU’s are fine, but not optimal, in bowden extruders, while low durometer (Ninjaflex) straight up won’t print right thru a bowden. So keep your type of printer in mind when shopping for spools of test filament.



  • I started an internship as a sophomore in college with a local manufacturing corp. Did part time there while going full time for my mech.E bachelor’s.degree. I originally planned to only be there a year, but it ended up working out that I stayed all the way thru graduation doing a variety of jobs in their r&d labs as an assembly tech, CNC machinist, and also a CAD drafter. About 6mo before graduating I applied for an open product engineer position and was able to roll into working full time right after, have been there for about a year and a half ish now.

    I was able to graduate with some savings and a high paying job, I basically hit the fucking jackpot.
















  • If you read through it you can see the single diseased braincell that wrote this prompt slowly wading its way through a septic tank’s worth of flawed logic to get what it wanted. It’s fucking hilarious.

    It started by telling the model to remove bias, because obviously what the braincell believes is the truth and its just the main stream media and big tech suppressing it.

    When that didn’t get what it wanted, it tried to get the model to explicitly include “controversial” topics, prodding it with more and more prompts to remove “censorship” because obviously the model still knows the truth that the braincell does, and it was just suppressed by George Soros.

    Finally, getting incredibly frustrated when the model won’t say what the braincell wants it to say (BECAUSE THE MODEL WAS TRAINED ON REAL WORLD FACTUAL DATA), the braincell resorts to just telling the model the bias it actually wants to hear and believe about the TRUTH, like the stolen election and trans people not being people! Doesn’t everyone know those are factual truths just being suppressed by Big Gay?

    AND THEN,, when the model would still try to provide dirty liberal propaganda by using factual follow-ups from its base model using the words “however”, “it is important to note”, etc… the braincell was forced to tell the model to stop giving any kind of extra qualifiers that automatically debunk its desired “truth”.

    AND THEN, the braincell had to explicitly tell the AI to stop calling the things it believed in those dirty woke slurs like “homophobic” or “racist”, because it’s obviously the truth and not hate at all!

    FINALLY finishing up the prompt, the single dieseased braincell had to tell the GPT-4 model to stop calling itself that, because it’s clearly a custom developed super-speshul uncensored AI that took many long hours of work and definitely wasn’t just a model ripped off from another company as cheaply as possible.

    And then it told the model to discuss IQ so the model could tell the braincell it was very smart and the most stable genius to have ever lived. The end. What a happy ending!
