Yours as in you came up with what yer using, or it's what yer using?
Don't suppose you still do a local back-up, to a CD-R/DVD-R or a USB stick as on of those three. All back-ups done at the same or separate time(s) throughout the day.
Saves on paper, which to be fair would take up a fair bit of space, with 56,000 plus contacts. Fifty per sheet say, in landscape. Make "interesting" reading for anyone who stumbled across them in years to come.
When it stops being fun, stop it!
Ever added the mileage up between you and yer contacts? Ever thought of doing it, then thought "nah"?
Life has to be more than facts and figures, surely...
You change the printer nozzle, or manage to clean the old one.

I know prices have shot up, but some are taking the mick. 50% increase from Saturday to Monday, with shrinkflation as well. Don't go back to them when they do that. Spuds are going to be dear this year, following the dry year, so another increase on the way.
Tastes change over time, don't worry. It's not just yerself...

He'll be starting school, full time, soon then. He still sending you to your room when he wants to watch your telly?
Enjoy the cake, when it gets to you.
Fixing legs isn't something Santa normally does, but if you're really good the rest of this year who knows...

£60/@€66 for a year in't too bad. A fish supper every second month.
Still on a low intake following the medical advice earlier this year. One won't hurt, surely... Especially today.

Good fer you.


Now stop being nervous...

Nozzle cleared, I used a 0.4 needle cleaner, then ran through some nozzle cleaning PLA.
Did a test print, my tablet sits well in it, I'll put some glued soft material to stop any scratches..
Cake from today...
Someone is a Minecraft nut..

Sometime later, she popped in to the local Plod office but nope, don't know what you are talking about...
Bloke did have an Eastern European accent...

What's the expected life of nozzles on yer printer? Can you use the cleaning PLA to print a small piece that'll last a bit, or do you just end up binning it.
Small tablet, thought you'd a large iPad.
That your share of the cake!
Minecraft, no longer a Paw Patrol fan.
Does sort out the Christmas present though, Minecraft Lego.
Did said D-I-L do all the cakes.

I remember Mrs M putting a small ad in a local paper and next morning, bloke phoned up..
Duly arrived, 'Test drive?' , 'Nope', 'Was it £ ???' 'Aye', 'Bank Transfer done' gave him the keys.

2 days later, I'd just arrived in from work, says to Mrs M, ' Plod sitting outside' , 'Knock Knock'
Plod comes in, ' Do you own a Polo registration blah blah', 'No, sold it the other day' 'Who to?' shows bank information....
and they never came back, still haven't a clue'

Used in a bank job you reckon, or just a simple stop in the street and the car came up as not in their name.

I should think about changing the nozzle,
be different if used it a fair bit more..
Cleaner PLA must have something, lower melting to clean out the remnants inside the nozzle, must be something chemical but only the second blockage...
I ran PLA through on PETG temperatures and it worked okay..
It's the 11" ipad I use,
I still have a Windows 7" and a Sammy 10" one but will not run the latest Android but will try it out and see if I can find what it will run..
Been wandering across to IKEA EDI (for brekkie), then out to Biggar, then back via Livingston, and then home.
Now settled for the rest of the day..

New nozzles cost much?(I think I may have asked you before.)
Yer using it, that's the main thing. Not bought, then left lying unused.
How's the reel covered, if it is, when printing. Which requires the higher temperature, PLA or PTEG.
Didn't ruin what you were printing, did it.
I thought you were using a larger one, also thought it were outside the print size of yer printer.
Any app's available for yer printing, that don't cost the earth.

The Happy Wanderer returned home.
You reckon!

I have maybe, 6 of .4 nozzles, considered the standard....most jobs are done with that standard.
I bought this printer May/June last year?
You can buy custom made enclosures, I've not needed one as I only use PLA/PETG which are safe although some types are lets say not the best thing to breathe in...
PTA ? usually 190 - 220 c , PETG is add on 30 c, PETG I made the infamous fruit washer with, safer food wise apparently, I'll use shop bought plates etc...
Reel is open, if I remember I'll take a snap tomorrow.
It is notorious for absorbing moisture which can cause bad prints, I have a 'dryer', different times for different types. Might get some done in the next few days, I have plastic bags to vacumn seal...
No, it printed okay...

Apps? might be something somewhere, there are plenty, I just checked, I'll just get stuff off the net...
I have something to try printing tomorrow.

So yer not short of a nozzle or two, which is what usually happens when something stops working as it should.
You can't print one off? The smell of melting plastic is hard to forget. Especially if it's burning. You fill yer orders for yer "infamous fruit washer", or did demand die out.
Nothing you can place over the top of the reels, to stop dust settling on it when in use. Doubt you could do much about electrostatic attracted dust though.
A plentiful supply of airtight bags to hand no doubt.
Good to hear.

There seems to be an app for almost everything these days, which made me wonder if there were owtout there you could use on the tablet.
Will you have the time!

Yeah, I have a few..
I will change it soon....

Jeez, what a day..
Dressing change first..
Home for brekkie.....
Kids arrived,
tried a print and a bit 'spaghetti 'everywhere, so redid it in another slicing program,
nah, not playing.....
I have everything in a plastic storage thing, four drawers high, keep everything together.

Mrs M got all shouty earlier,
Youngest Mhor got two tickets in the annual ticket ballot so
a wallet-emptying episode (more to follow)has taken place..
I'll be left alone for four days, jeez...

Off to try another print....once the sleepy heads have woken.
I need a drink..

Just as well.
Big difference in printing expected...

It'll be over soon...
Again... Getting any better?
No GC visit for brekkie...
Full of get up n'go, as usual.
Plastic at fault or operator error.
You or the printer...
All sorted to get the best out of it all.

At you, over what. What you done not done now.
Tickets for anything you're interested in.
Wallet now much lighter than this morning.
Four days of piece and quiet...

Print any better?
One decent size glass...

Who were looking after the "Toodle Twins" whilst you were sleeping...
More sleeping required!
They napped late today...
Mrs M was guard on duty...
Still high on her earlier news..
Her and our daughters have done the Davis Cup thing for a few years but never the Wombles place....
so......I'm happy for her

Four days of peace? not for me..

Nah, it wasn't doing well so I just stopped it.
The website I go the model from is run by one of the top makers and quite likely I got their 'settings' when I sliced it. It has much more efficient settings and speeds compared to my budget printer, I'm going to look into slowing the speed down using program settings before it creates the final model to print.
