The last photo - who else got to spend final moments with your beloved cat?

Thank you! I’m not generally a sharing kind of person, but am touched by the empathy of cat lovers. She went blind then catatonic very suddenly. We took her to the vet when we realized she wasn’t coming back. We had waited too long with her sister and she died in pain. It was traumatic for us and committed to not letting that happen again. We work from home, so she was with us at all times. The vet was very compassionate about the whole ordeal. They saw us early without waiting and made her and us as comfortable as possible. Whenever I get up from the couch to go to bed at night, I reflexively walk to her spot to say goodnight still. It’ll be a while but we intend to get some kittens to fill the void.

Spicy MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2015) Battery

I’ve done a bunch of these for a repair shop. Lots of different ways suggested on line for how to do it, but what worked best for me was a wide nylon spudger tool wet with high proof alcohol. Slow and steady making sure not to puncture or fold the battery. Have a plan ready to go if it goes up in flames. We had a metal bin full of sand to toss things in to. Good luck!

What kind of filament are you using? I’ve had that trouble with ABS before and what worked for me was making a slurry of acetone and some scrap filament and painting it on the glass then adding a brim to the model in the slicer. With other filaments, it’s always been playing with the temps and using a brim in my experience.
