“Humid conditions have their own sort of more perceptual limitations, that difficulty breathing, because it feels so claustrophobic,” Dr Cheng says.

“But in the dry environment, so far, the rate at which [their core temperature] is rising can be one-and-a-half to two times what we’re seeing with the more humid conditions.”

“It’s really for a lot of those nations, that don’t have a choice but to actually live in these conditions 24/7 … or for people in circumstances where air conditioning is not an option, or areas of the world where manual labour in the field is just sort of their way of life,” Dr Cheng says.

“A lot of those parts of the world that are most affected by it, are also the ones that have the least resources, I think, to deal with it.”

The researchers will keep testing the conditions on people until the end of the year.

But in the meantime, it’s given both the researchers, and Owen, an important glimpse into where the heat threshold of the human body lies.

The novel (written by Andrew Robinson) A Stitch in Time also confirms this physical attraction, if not specific examples of physical affection.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/fewer-vs-less

Essentially, fewer is normally used for discrete numbers of things (e.g. "fewer apples", "fewer boats", or "fewer cops") while less is used for amounts (e.g. "less water", "less sand", or "less money").

As noted in the above link, there are exceptions. However, the exceptions listed are all with "than" or "or" added. Specifically, it's pointing put that while "fewer items" is correct, "3 items or less" is also considered correct.

In the case of the sign, it is referring to the specific number of officers in the city, so it should use "fewer". Does it matter? No, not really. Why did I bother saying anything? I got a chance to rep grammar and quote Stannis Baratheon at the same time.

Most of what I have printed with ~~it~~ the 0.2 mm nozzle is filament swatches with detailed info "engraved" into them. I tried to do a larger detailed piece with it, but the model wasn't print-ready and I made thin spaghetti instead.

That's exactly what I got, and it has worked really well so far. I haven't tried printing any minis yet (although I was thinking of trying one of FatDragon's next weekend), so thank you for the link.

The 50's - 70's movies are hilarious in a good way. I just finished them in my rewatch. Starting on the 80's this weekend.

I was wondering when I'd see a Godzilla movie here and on my feed. I vaguely remember watching this as a kid, but I'm doing a rewatch of all of the Toho Godzilla movies in release order and looking forward to this one in particular quite a lot.

Had to do a deep dive into this group for my father once and came to the conclusion that they diverged greatly from the type of music I enjoy once they added that Fred Durst sounding mf to the band permanently. Their general sound is fantastic, though.

I went with the A1 mini while it was (actually still is) $200 on their website. That's about as much as we spent on our sewing machine gathering dust, a bit more than our vinyl cutter doing the same, and around the same as I've invested so far in mini painting.

To be fair to me, I have so far kept up with the miniature painting.

I have a tendency to get into hobbies for a month or so and then drop them, too, so it being easy to set up and use should help me stick with it a bit more. The relatively low initial investment should soften the blow if I do drop it, too.

Just downloaded all of his sample models and bought another 5 on top of that. I wish that sand worm came with assembly instructions, but he's getting built one way or another.

 

In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.

Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.

 

Edit 2: I purchased the Bambu A1 mini. If I regret it, there will be more chances in later years. Haha. Maybe by then I can work with resin and make the really fun minis. Thank everyone who responded for your advice and help.

Edit: I am leaning against resin printing due to the lack of sufficient ventilation in my current work space and the potential for injuring my cats. I also do not plan to do exclusively miniatures; they were just the thing I was most excited for when making this post.

 

I looked around for a pinned thread or purchase wiki type thing, but didn't see one. I apologize if this is the wrong place.

After visiting a family member, I have decided that 3D printing has finally gotten affordable enough for me to maybe add to my list of hobbies. My primary use cases would be making miniatures (no particular scale necessary, as I just like to paint them at the moment), making parts for other hobbies (including cross stitch), and just generally making gifts and fun knick nacks. My budget is no more than $250 for the machine itself. I have not-insignificant computer experience, and some training in CAD programs.

Several seem to be on sale in the US for Father's Day (today), and I was wondering if anybody had some advice or suggestions on some specific ones.

  • Creality Ender-3 V2 is what my family member has had for a while now and enjoyed, and less than $200 is very nice. It does seem to be dated at this point, and Creality support seems to be lacking.
  • There's also the Neo of the above for the same price, but I am honestly having a hard time pinpointing the difference.
  • Sovol SV06 seems to be a common recommendation for the price range, but I've heard similarly negative things about their support, especially on Amazon (although I no longer trust Amazon reviews very much).
  • Flashforge Adventurer 5M appears to be on a significant sale on their official eBay (240 USD), but I have only really seen it recommended in almost spammy manners, which seems like either excitement for the sale or an ad campaign.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, even if it's just not getting into the hobby at this price point.
