Yeah, and my work is a few seconds away (about six feet. ) I do like being retired.

Quote from: granz on Jul 28, 2026, 07:44 AMActually, I never use the camera at all (other than once to see what it looked like.) Although, I have thought about it before - it might be cool to be able to see what my printer is doing while out and about.

That is exactly what I use mine for, since 90% of the time, I am sending prints from work, an hour away.

That's why my original tag line for 20 years was, "I'm only responsible for what I say, not what you understand." 

P.S. - One of the things I appreciate about The Big Bang Theory is that they always tried to keep the science stuff discussed on there accurate. They hired consultants to evaluate the science to "get it right."

Quote from: granz on Jul 26, 2026, 06:22 AMI also found a magnetic print bed, and that is on its way and should be here on Tuesday. So, hopefully my Voxel will be back in production soon.

Sorry, I neglected to mention where I got the magnetic bed. It should arrive today, and I'm hoping that I can start using my Voxel again. So, as, a breadcrumb, in case I, or anyone else with a Voxel/Adventurer 3, need to find it:

I think that the "Sheldon part" is that Chris likes to explain things that other people find hard to understand.

Quote from: Chris Savage on Jul 27, 2026, 10:19 PMI was just thinking that, while I've not had these issues, I don't have the Timelapse feature turned on for two reasons. The first is it increases the print time. The second is, it can cause a little more artifacts in the print because the print head keeps taking off to get out of the way for the images.

The two P2S printers actually take a USB drive, not a microSD card. I may try something if I print something tall. Unfortunately, I am usually printing flat things, so Timelapse isn't very useful.

I did run across that idea (Timelapse taking up too much card bandwidth) but I never use my Timelapse, so that can't be the trouble. Actually, I never use the camera at all (other than once to see what it looked like.)

Quote from: granz on Jul 25, 2026, 07:39 AMI have to say that the one with Sheldon was extremely irritating. I rarely find much humor in that show anyway, and I think that I finally found out why. Canned laughter really grates on my nerves - it's like the show is telling us that we are too stupid to know what is funny, and so it is Hollywood's job to tell us when to laugh.

I'm not sure if you've seen more of the show than that clip, but I find the humor doesn't reach those who don't understand the science. It's my favorite show (or at least it was, it's ended some time ago) and I own all the seasons of it. They've had a great many guest stars on the show, including Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, George Takei, Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton, Brent Spiner, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones, Summer Glau, Katee Sackhoff, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye and Stan Lee.

I've been called a cross between Leonard and Sheldon by people who watch the series.

I don't see the Sheldon part... lol

I inserted the new Class 10 card, reformatted it (on the printer) and resent the print job - it's working now. Hopefully, the new higher-quality card will solve the troubles.
