I just lost the X axis and the print does not really look good anymore. The stepper motor is still working, so it's probably just the belt. Hand me the tools and let's hope the belt has not snapped and just has come off its wheel.

Or it could have slipped it's catch at the back of the X carriage (depending on how it's attached).
I'd recommend getting a fibre re-enforced belt (the wire ones stretch) and making a belt tensioner.

All done. It really just came off the wheel. It was not very hard to fix. Over the last years I had to do that a few times[^].

Very nice. I printed the other one, but for now I don't have time to work on it. Meanwhile I'm looking for two suitable brushless motors and ESCs that can be controlled by a Raspberry Pi. I still have two helicopter motors, but they would be a little too strong. i don't want to win races with the robot.

Same here, I've got 20 things going and cant finish none of them.
I printed the little SMARS robot because I had all the parts to run build it, but it's not much more than a toy. Can't do a lot with it and the motors and controller it uses are very weak. But heh it's all for the fun of it right?

I thought the first thing all 3D printer owners printed was a full set of spare parts for their 3D printer...

There are surprisingly few parts that are not made of metal on this one. Besides that, you can print as much as you like, it will not prevent a belt from coming off. It's far more interesting to find out what led to that happening.
Anyway, it took only five minutes to fix and it has been printing all day, so it's not a big problem.

That would have been a good one - as it was the anagram just leapt out at me.

You have 100 lb of "mathematical" potatoes, which are 99 percent water by weight.
You let them dehydrate until they're 98 percent water. How much do they weigh now?
No googling, ok.
|
|
|
|
|
50lbs.
1lb == 1% of 100lb, and 2% == 50lbs
So as not to give the game away!

And we have a winner.
That was to quick, I was hoping for a few wrong ones to start with.

That's why I hid it - I remembered it from somewhere.

I dont get it.
Should be 99.0001 lbs or some such.

OK, so 100ib of potatoes, 99% water.
That means that 1% is not water, and that weighs 1lb.
If you reduce the water content to 98%, that doesn't affect the non-water part, so 1lb of the potatoes is now 2% of the total.
If 2% of the weight is 1lb, then the total weight is now 50lb.
For 97% you get 33.3lb, 96% gives 25lb, and so on.

"To 98%" of what is the question. The original weight or the final weight.
That wasnt specified.
