I was born After 2000s and yeah I love Retro Computing! Before I really got into the Looks and aesthetics of Retro Computers Like the Commodore PET, so when I saw one in an Auction for surprisingly Little Money I took a Bid on it, thinking I’d get outbid anyway… I didn’t!

Once I had this Massive Historic Machine in front of me, my Passion was set in stone. I got into History Videos and Technical Analysis of Old Hardware and got a Small Collection together!

Due to Budgetary issues as of recent I’ve had to Cool on this Hobby of mine tho. Hope I get to expand my Collection with an Amiga or any of the Atari Systems later this year hopefully!

Yes I am in a Pal Country, which is actually why I wanna ask if there is a German Dub version of this Boxset as Well? Would love to watch these with some German only Friends!

Got my Twitter Archive Now! It does seem to have it all pretty much… i wonder if there is a Front end Kinda thing to view em trough? I once backed up my whole Discord Profile, and it came with an Extra app that let me view my stuff in a Discord esc environment

I mean it wasn’t boiling which I thought was the issue. The setup I got rn is a Very Solid glass Jar that was fully Sealed and heated to around 50°C on my Printer bed. Left my Prints in there for between 30 Minutes to a Whole day, and while it was a lot shinier afterwards, no changes in the lines or or layers where to be seen.

Safety wise I got a Gas Mask, Fitting Clothes and some other Saftey stuff around

Hmmm my Heatbed goes to 100°c and I do have a Smooth surface plate around… what do you think?

I have tried using a Regular Soldering Iron to smooth out the surfaces, to not a lotta luck tho. At what temps can the Plastic Colouring be regained? Because I think I had mine set too high

The Shiny look it something I try to somewhat avoid im afraid

The main thing I’m wondering right now, is the MEK supposed to Boil? I feel like it should be, but at that point im also working with e Pressurised Vessel with very much Dangerous chemicals… thought’s?

The Prints I’m working on at the moment are rather small, I think a Torch or Heatgun could also melt other spots that aren’t supposed to be melted because of needed Surface Patterns… I wonder if there is something a bit more Controlled?

I have been using more Coarse ones thus far yes… I do wanna achieve the same colour as the original Plastic tho

I see, thats quite interessting… I do wonder since my Main Concern are Flat Top Surfaces, if putting the rough Print surface on a Heated Surface of Sorts would do something simular? Thinking like a Heated Pan or Metal Sheet?

Soooo I did actually try Vapor Smoothing with MEK Before! Infact I still got a Litre of that Stuff Around now, but even after leaving the print in there for Days at 50°C the Results where… honestly no big Changes at all…

I do suspect there is an Error in my Methodology… but turns out there isnt a lot of Info out there on Vapor Smoothing with MEK… Have you used MEK for Vapor Smoothing before?

From what I’ve Read, it doesnt do Posts or DMs right? I did request it for Completion sake, but it might take a bit to get here

3 Thoughts as I had simular Issues!

Is the Bed Leveling correct? A Loose Print Head can give false results, big issue I had once with my P1S.

Try Changing the width and Hight of the First Layer to smaller Values, no clue Why, but it Fixed this kinda issue before for me!

In Software, Is the Model Properly put on the Ground and not floating? Happened to me before, since Supports where turned off I didn’t notice it

I hate having to second guess every single Art I see nowadays. God damn awful.

Nightshade or Glaze. One Protects your Image, the other Poisons the whole Image Set

Went on a Journey with that a while back. Such a Cool experience!

The Ethical side is definetly a huge part of my Interest in Framework as a Company, but I must admit the biggest reason I wanna get a FW12 is the Upgradability and Repairability. To be able to keep using the Same Laptop for the ages basically.

However is that worth supporting DHH by Proxy for that? I’ve been assuming with thier response being the Big Tent Strat that they have decided to keep supporting Hyperland right?

Wait they really only support 4 software projects? Thats way less then what I expected given thier Talk about the Big Tent strat, unless they mean it in a future headed sorta way… that is rather concerning to say the least…

But as you said, even with that considered they really are still the least bad Company around for this kinda stuff. I mean they have been around for around 6 or so years now yes? Yet this was thier first controversy I think… I suppose it kinda comes down to if they are willing to do stuff like this again/keep continuing…
