  6. I've been 3D-printing for around five and a half years. So I'm not a rookie, but I just made a #rookie #mistake.

    I've spent the last couple of weeks making compartments and dividers and such for the toolboxes I take to the Repair Cafe. Lots of test #prints to check fits and footprints, full prints, changes to design based on lessons learned during use at the last cafe, etc. I've put around three kilograms of #filament through my printer in that time.

    Then, in the last couple days, I started having various problems. At first they only showed up on big prints - #adhesion and #curling, which I've had before when pushing the limits of my bed size. But prints seemed to be getting #sloppier, and I had a couple of spaghetti explosions.

    Tonight, I finally took the #hotend apart and looked at it closely - it's very difficult to do when the printer is fully assembled, because it's a #delta printer.

    Lo and behold, the nozzle appeared worn. And that can account for all the problems.

    I should have checked this sooner - but I've only been printing plain #PLA, nothing abrasive, so I didn't think of it. Lesson learned.

    Pardon the shitty photo from a cheap digital magnifier. The old #nozzle #orifice is about 1.5x the diameter of the new one - so 2.25x the area. No wonder plastic was going everywhere but where it should go!

    Seems to be printing *much* better with a new nozzle.

  11. I have to say I’m very disappointed in Gushue who Canadians have supported in his curling endeavours for years. #curling #boycottUSA

  13. I listen to podcasts on my cycling commute and yesterday one American host mentioned curling, but he made me suspicious of every fact he’s ever stated when he said “they have that block of ice and they’ve got their mops”.

  15. Mayor Chow dropped in to visit our 2SLGBTQIA+ curling league this afternoon, little surprise visit. She was surprised to hear the city owns three curling clubs - we don’t cross her desk much I guess! - and was impressed at our queer curling leagues in operation since 1962!

  17. I won my first #curling league A-bracket championship last night! I was skip and had a great team, all of whom made my job easy. They were such monsters that I was often using skip-stones to throw guards, and we stole 3 on the penultimate end. Feeling good!

    Now on to the next league. 8 games and we've started off 0-1 in a truly competitive match last Sunday. Lots of time to get that turned around.

  19. Spent the afternoon checking out Rock League, the new professional curling league that’s starting up this year with a special one week first season. Great fun, lots of great curling and merch and activities, and lots of high-tech cameras too - they tried hard to assemble a quality first go at it. Nifty!

  21. A last hurrah for my #curling team, Power and Ham. We cruised to victory in the “House” event of our competitive league. This was our last game after many years together as two teammates are moving away. 😭

  29. Love that Matt Dunstone won the #Brier. What would make it even more special is to decline their spot at the World Championship in Utah. Every team from every other country should take a pass on the tournament in the US.
