    Yeah there’s absolutely a rating to look for and N95 is part of that, stateside, you have niosh ratings, you’ll see these wrt industrial ppe, but there are ratings for use with CN and CS gas. My experience with them is the chemical cartridges usually have a p100 filter combined with them for particulate too. Organic Vapour & Acids are easy to get a hold of (Used these when i worked in O&G), I don’t know how well they’d work against teargas unfortunately.

    I will 100% recommend north full face, a half mask is probably better than nothing but the full face gives you eye protection too. I didn’t personally like the 3m style masks, but it’s all down to personal preference, just make sure it fits correctly.


  • Swap nozzles? I’ve had issues in the past with partial clogs with petg in particular, at the least it’ll remove a variable from your troubleshooting. Also echo what others have suggested and check out your filament path, make sure there’s not somewhere else causing an issue. I feel like dusty filament could potentially contribute to clogs, if you’re concerned with that there’s designs out there for in line wipers that pass the filament through some soft sponge.

    Do you have any resistance feeding the filament? I’ve had a few cases where either the filament kinda tangled due to slack and would still be able to feed but needed more force, bad enough it can actually wear the filament in the extruder and won’t advance anymore. Extra friction from tight tubing, small radius bends, cardboard spools etc. can do that too. Check your settings for the tension spring as well, too tight can totally cause issues that will look like this and make you chase ghosts.

    I run a fan like this one on mine (9.9 cfm/0.277 m3/min), the ones that push more air get loud quick just as a heads up, this one I was also looking at, is 12.2 cfm/0.342 m3/min but is 39 vs 31.4 dB, I did a bunch of fan upgrades last year for both better performance and less fan noise, these will be noticeable. Don’t get heat blockages but do have some oozing I really need to get around to tuning.






  • The only times I’ve had that happen was when the sheet wasn’t clean enough (which yours definitely is if you’ve scrubbed it with dishsoap), bed temps too low or first layer being too close to the bed (though the textured sheet wants more squish)

    The satin sheet is imo their best sheet, buildtak does some great surfaces in that size (pei sheet is great for even abs, their new surfaces are great too). I moved to using fr4/garolite sheets (I use this on my former mk3s, have a larger one for my voron too), not really found I needed adhesive for petg or pla on that.



  • For real, I already was calling it the mk3 of Theseus long before this, changed a lot of parts. Was trying to do somethings to pay homage to it though, colour choices for sure, big reason I wanted the middle frame from the original mk3s to be the front of the door, the mod I mostly used made it the front of the frame and I liked the look.

    Have enough left over that I could mostly redo a bear mod mk3s, which I may totally do and give to my dad who’s been wanting to look at printing.





  • Mine live in my garage year round, I have a space heater for print days which has worked into into the -20c, lucky of I hit 5c ambient but enclosed printer helps. Have had no issues with the setup for years, it’s super dry in the winter so never had any issue with condensation, maybe a different story if I brought it in, but still idk if I’d be worried, you could use some dielectric grease if you’re really concerned but I personally think it’s overkill.

    Cold enough things get brittle, but I wouldn’t be concerned for storage.


  • Track everything you eat, even when you’re in a good place, keep tracking. I have ADHD so I’ve found it best to treat it like I do financial tracking, it becomes habit very quickly and apps like waistline make it super easy to enter, especially if you’re in the habit of weighing everything.

    I have to minimise the smacks kept in the house, and what we do keep tends to be “better” or at least less calorie dense. I don’t deny myself cravings, but I’ll follow servings and budget for it in calories. Waistline averages out calories over a configurable period so I don’t sweat going over one day, all balances out over the long term.

    Therapy helped a lot, if only to help me have a healthier relationship with food, my therapist has a lot of experience with addiction & substance abuse and food can absolutely be a drug (which is not acknowledged enough imo). Between that and getting treatment for ADHD I’ve managed to get back down to one of the lowest weights I’ve been as an adult. I’ve tried to make it a lifestyle change which I credit heavily to success as well. My partner having a health scare that forced them to review their diet also helped tbf, but we were already on that path, was just some extra push.

    What you eat can help too, fibre being a big one. Make friends with legumes, add them into your cooking. I like chickpeas and lentils, will add them into a lot of dishes I cook. Use seeds too, ground flax tastes great and adds a lot of good fats, sunflower and pumpkin seeds go well in salads. I like to do meals that can serve leftovers, stuff like soups & stews are great because they don’t have a lot of active cooking (you throw stuff into a pot and let it simmer for a while). Higher quality calories are helpful, tell you that personally I’ll feel fuller longer eating some porridge with flax and fruit in the morning than the occasions I’ll grab a McMuffin or something.

    The later games can be immersive if you don’t use map fast travel imo. There’s a few mods like better carriages and boats that give you a lot more travel options, I like sign fast travel too. Find it makes me explore a lot more instead of just rushing to the next objective. It’s not quite the same but I find that + survival helps a lot (and combat gameplay overhaul, but depends how much you’re ok modding core gameplay elements. I totally run combat mods on morrowind when i replay it, I’m not a purist when it comes to how people want to play a game)

    My first experience with morrowind was on the xbox and I played the hell out of it, wasn’t until years later I finally bought a pc copy. I found Dread Delusion captured some of that immersive alien world feeling that morrowind did for me as a kid.



  • I’m pretty much the same way, sometimes I write it down just to get nutrition info (have diabetic family who like my baking), I tend to target a hydration and go from there so I’ll experiment with it, thanks. Totally get you on the fun part, been experimenting with adding a bunch of seeds and different flours for a while, keeos it interesting!

    Lots of the commercially sold rye around here also doesn’t have a ton of rye in it, lots of commercial whole wheat bread is also pretty low percent wise too.
