Started printing this filament shrinkage test and had to leave the house. When I came back, the whole upper half of the part had shifted after the first few layers, and it left two solid blobs attached and one ball of spaghetti. The magnetic bed doesn't appear to have moved. Part is still solidly adhered to the print bed. How did this happen, and how can I keep it from happening again?

I've got a few DS styluses that I'm going to sell for cheap on eBay. I know some are for the DS Lite (I think the purple one is). Which DS variant is the Blue one for?

I'm looking for a tool that can help me keep track of what subscriptions I'm paying for. I don't really need extra functionality, I'm happy to cancel them manually. As someone who listens to podcasts, I've heard about Rocket Money, and it seems like it would get the job done. The question is: can I trust them with all of that data? Are there more privacy-respecting alternatives I should be considering?

I'm recapping the analog and logic boards on my Macintosh SE, because they have known leak risks. Is there any evidence that the Sony PSU has similar problems, or can I leave it alone?

Genre: pretentious millennial indie rock :/

Criticism is welcome!

Symbolism breakdown:

• The gold semicircle represents the rising or setting sun, a symbol of change. Morrilton is currently growing after a period of decline, so this sun represents the glories of the past and of the future.
• The white field represents a blank slate, the city's enormous potential to grow. It also represents the sense of morality and community that binds its people together.
• The green band represents Petit Jean mountain just outside the city, and the semicircular cutout represents the Arkansas River Valley which encompasses Morrilton and many of its neighbors.
• The ruddy semicircle with white border represents a wine glass; Morrilton is the seat of Conway county, where the sale of alcohol is allowed, surrounded by dry counties to the east, north, and west. The color also represents Morrilton's 3 major educational institutions (UACCM, SCCSD, and Sacred Heart) all of whose primary school colors are a shade of red.
• The blue band represents the Arkansas River, on whose shores the original settlement was built. This further represents the rich history of the city, as well as the past and present flow of trade along the river, railroads, and I-40.

I feel somewhat confident in the geometry of this design, but I don't know anything about color theory so I'm open to suggestions on that. The present colors were picked with the help of an AI, followed by some mathematical derivation using software and hand tweaking.

I'll be in DFW for a concert in May. Do any locals have recommendations for retrocomputing locales in the area? I.e. used electronics stores, recycling centers that let you take things, et cetera. I know Computer Reset is pretty much done at this point, but I'm from rural Arkansas so I imagine there's still a few good spots much better than what I have at home.

I love the graphic design on these old removable media.

What are some poems or other texts that you think should be put to music? I might use one or two of your answers :)

I have been a bad plant parent and left my poor ficus in a hot sunny car for a few hours during a move. I've now gotten it to a place where it gets the right amount of sun (I think) and watered it, but it still isn't doing well. First one, now two leaves are drooping, and the top of the stem is shriveled. What can I do to help it?

Before I buy another Roku, are there any options for a streaming box/stick that run FOSS? A foss derivitive of android TV would be nice if that exists, ideally preloaded on an inexpensive and compact piece of hardware.

Hello all! My name's Evan, and I'm starting development on an idea I had a few years ago. The Synharmonium is (going to be) a microcontroller-based synthesizer with control elements based on the accordion and the Suzuki Omnichord, and an algorithm to solve the centuries old musical problem of versatile just intonation. Best case, this could have a huge impact on how western music is written and performed. Worst case, its a fun and easy synthesizer you can build at home.

But right now its not much more than an idea and a janky keyboard prototype. I am a student of computer engineering, and I have a non-zero amount of programming skill, but there's still a lot of gaps that I just don't have the experience needed to fill. I need someone who's good at programming, familiar with open-source development, has some spare time, and finds this idea interesting, to help me get the software side of the instrument going. If you can become a major contributor, I'd love to have you, but if you can just hang out in the matrix room and answer questions from time to time that would help a lot.

Love the look of my white Primus Asana, but i cant walk 10 feet without the left insole somehow working its way back in the shoe and up my heel. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions for a fix?

But right now its not much more than an idea and a janky keyboard prototype. I am a student of computer engineering, and I have a non-zero amount of programming skill, but I tend to make stupid mistakes that I can't easily spot.

If you can become a major contributor, I'd love to have you, but if you can just help me find one boneheaded mistake I will be extremely grateful, because I'm pretty stuck at the moment.

Open to critiques from any design experts, I'm just an engineering student. I've got a website for the project, https://www.unrestrictedinstrumentworks.com , and a few more renders, https://imgbox.com/g/4XNOa34EWX
