Cats have good memories. They will touch the hot nozzle only twice. For the first and the last time.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

yes, but when it's idle.
cats have a totally different perspective of what/where is comfortable,
and more often then not that perspective is contrary to what humans deem important/valuable

I know[^]. Didn't he say he's building an enclosure? That should make it fairly uninteresting for the cat.

That's most of why I'm building a box for it - so that the cat can't sleep in it, eat the cables, chase it while it's printing, ...
So I had a 1220 x 2400 sheet of 5.5mm ply delivered today, and I'm out in the garden cutting it up with what seems to be most of my power tools involved ... So far today my drill driver and pilot / countersink / screw bit adapter (very handy), rotary sander, cross cut rotary saw, table saw, and soon the routers ...

Why don't you just 3D print a stand for it?

Since his printer is not level, then his printed stand would not be level either, true? IDK really. I am not familiar with 3D printing so much.

Actually, that's not so important as long as the extruder and the build plate are adjusted properly.

He has the current leveling devices (old books) installed. This should suffice until he has created the new custom stand with each leg the appropriate length - or at least some end-caps for the existing stand to adjust the heights of each leg/corner/whatever.

Aside from aiding in the 3D-Printer's mating rituals, I was wondering just what you (or most people who own them) print with 3D-Printers?
I mean aside from sporks and plastic guns

Custom parts for RC models, cases and keyboards for electronics, pimping boardgames with figures and other parts, nerdy decorations and I still need a TIE fighter pilot helmet.

I am thinking about getting back into scale modeling, not RC. I used to do this hobby year's ago, and loved it, but the military, kids, life, came up and I got out of it.
I know a lot of scale modelers use 3d printing to print custom pieces, etc. So, I am strongly considering a purchase after the Christmas season (kids come first).

What scale do you want to build? Filament printers may not be the best choice for scales like 1/32 or smaller. Resin printers like this one[^] offer a better detail and higher print quality for smaller parts. The downside is the small build volume of only 115mm *65mm *155mm. For models ok, but not if you need a bigger part now and then.
And here is my last picture of my Huey[<ahref="https: imgur.com="" a="" ssaibql"="" target="_blank" title="New Window">^]. The weapons, the hoist and all sorts of antennae and smaller parts like door hinges are made with my 3D printer.

good to know. starting back with 1/35th scale military and armor. Might move into larger scale ships and maritime models.

Well, so far two owls and a little box with my name on it: Adventures in 3D printing Part 2: Rise of the 3D models.[^]
But ... I want to make a new lid for my Sous Vide: the current one has no insulation and doesn't "Locate" anywhere so it slides about. Adding insulation should improve the running costs (pretty trivial anyway) and let less heat leak out as well as looking prettier than a 1/2 Gastronorm perspex lid upside down with tea towels on top of it. Black ABS should work well against the stainless steel of the rest of the tank (it's multi purposed from my deep fat fryer).
And there are a couple of brackets I want to make for the car, and so forth. It's also a "another string to my bow" type thing for me - learning CAD is unlike anything I've learned before, so it;'s interesting all on it's own.

How much authority can a tester have?
I'm a little confused on the scene I'm watching.
I see emails flying across from a tester almost with a CEO level authority, like:
"These are critical bugs fix it ASAP!".
Btw, it;s are not as critical as it's claimed to be. And the developer assigned to this is more experienced than the tester issuing these instructions.
I always believed testers role is to test, find the results and log them in Bug tracking tool.
Should they be allowed to send these "Directional" commands?
I see it very commanding. Sometimes it's very ironic to see, the hard-working developer race is often mistreated. Right from the dumb product manager to a tester anybody is able to command and react on a mistake done by the developer.
Should I stop the tester from sending direct instructions to the developer?

So fix it, and reply: It's fixed: Test it AND SUBMIT sign-off ASAP.
Edit:
also:
until the tester has completed all of the testing you can also reply:
-> please complete ALL testing ASAP so we can schedule all required tasks ACCORDING TO THEIR PRIORITY!
(in that you've taken away all their determination and authority of what's important or not.)

You're smart
When I was a developer, I did all these things to let the testers know where they stand & how they can behave.

Just because someone says this is high priority developer does not start writing code. It is job of the lead/manager/whatever you call them to look at bigger picture and understand why person A thinks it is high priority and person B says low.
So, the question should be that why does the tester think this is high priority? To get things off his queue? It is stopping from testing other cases which are somehow dependent on this? Something else.
In any case, I would not let tester dictate the plan ahead. This beats the need of having a manager (huh, that does not sound too bad!).

There's has been several times I've picked him and told him these are not critical bugs.
& had asked him to lower the flags. He goes back and updates the ticket.
And there was an instance where he had an argument with the developer(which I wasnt aware). then he was at my desk trying to justify a tiny-toony bug as an important one.
I had to shut him off asking not to waste time on these trivial things.
He's a bit attention-seeking.
