I just found out that my progress in the game Filament is lost. I thought Epic Games has cloud save for it, but after some digging, I found out the sourced of all the tragedy. The synced dir is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Filament\Saved\SavedGames while the actual place for save files is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Filament\Saved\SaveGames. No kidding. Just like that. Lost.

A good video from "I built a thing" that may surprise you about carbon fibre filaments. Their only advantages are probably appearance and reduced shrinkage.

In addition to poorer mechanical properties, they may also be carcinogenic!

A while back I asked for recommendations for an orange filament that wasn't "super fluorescent". Thanks to everyone who sent in their recommendations! Yesterday, I picked up a spool of Inland's High Speed Silk PLA in "Silk Amber Gold" which fit the bill really nicely. Printed a quick test flower and rupee and really happy with the color.

Had to drop my bike off at the shop today for a warranty repair and since I was nearby I ran to Micro Center and picked up some (more) filament.

3D Printing gang: I’m looking for a dark brown UV stable filament. Something like an ASA or PETG would be good.

I can find several military looking light browns, but I haven’t seen a good dark brown yet.

Shout-out to Atomic Filament, who has been my #3Dprinting #filament supplier for years. They'll be donating filament so that I can continue printing the BottleFlow portable showers.

If you need 3D printing filaments, their products are incredible and they're also awesome people!

I really wish more 3D printing YouTubers would stress the safety issues of glass and fiber filled filaments. They really should look at their skin under a micrscope after handling it.

If I had a YouTube channel and people were getting glass fibers forever embedded in their skin because of a product I recommended if be pissed at myself.

I regularly see people say “PLA is fine outdoors, you don’t need any fancy filament”

This is PLA vs PETG in a month or so of *Seattle* sun, we hardly have sun here. Our sun is the Sunny D to California’s orange juice.

Friends don’t let friends use PLA outdoors.
