Stratasys is losing ground because their massively overpriced ecosystem is getting outclassed by literally everything else in the market. So why improve if you can just sue your competition out of the US market?

I've been doing functional ABS and ASA lately and had a couple very annoying warpage spots. One was a total failure. (We won't talk about the other 3 failures that were wet out-of-the-box Bambu ASA...)

The X1C is definitely nice, but the all aluminum-and-glass side panelling has a sometimes-unwanted side effect: thermal conduction.
The aluminum sides are so conductive that they do not allow the chamber temp to go above 40C, even after a couple hours of heat soaking the build plate at 100C before starting an ABS print.
Enter: One random bath towel. doesn't look like much but just covering the three sides with a thin layer means it's good enough insulation to get the chamber up to 50C now! And the ABS parts look better than ever- every C counts.

Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.

Sorely needed.

100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.

Context: when creating drawings from parts/assemblies, you can use a foreshortening break on any derived views (section, detail, projected). However, by default, inventor will propagate that break to the parent base view... which usually completely blows up a different sheet in the document that I don't even realize -_-

Not once have I EVER wanted to propagate a break in a derived view to the parent base view...

1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, a recent addition to my collection.

221 inches bumper to bumper, 425ci Cadillac big block V8 fuelled by a standard Rochester Quadrajet and coupled to a TH400 3 speed auto. Floats like a cloud.
