I just hated my old job (inbound call center agent) so hard that any anxiety about going back to school was overshadowed by relief at not having to talk nonstop 8 hours a day again.

Unfortunately I’m at a bit of a crossroads with my current job (IT) because both Pearson and Cisco make test-taking miserable if you have a disability. My current job isn’t under threat, but I let all my certs lapse because I’m just sick and tired of their nonsense.

Update 2: I was able to get the PTFE tube out of the side sensor but I tore the collet out as well and it went flying. Against all odds I was able to find it, but now I have to see if I can reinsert it.

update: It looks like I need to detach the tube from the front sensor and I can’t do that without removing the side panel which is riveted to the frame.

I’m going to Gamalon to aid him.

Pfft listen to this young’un with multiple cells over here.

Listen to this hairless bipedal whipper-snapper. Back in MY day we THREW poop at one another. 🐒

Update: I removed the PTFE tube and Bowden tube from the extruder. the Filament broke right before entering the extruder. I tried pushing more filament through the feeder end but I’m meeting resistance at the same depth I was before. Now I guess I have to work on disassembling the filament sensor.

This printer cost me $1600 dollars shipped and I haven’t even printed anything with it yet. It took me maybe half an hour between unboxing the A1 mini and printing my first benchy, and the a1 was I think $500 all in, and that’s including the AMS lite. Over all I haven’t had the best unboxing experience with the core one.

I haven’t even mentioned that Prusa decided to use 2 different types of screws to hold the top plastic cover on the chassis, meaning I need to keep track of them and their two different hex keys.

Thanks. Will take a look after I’ve had a full night’s sleep.

Can I do that without calibrating the filament sensors? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Looks like one of those tornado tube things you could get at Natural Wonders back in the day. Half fill a bottle with water, screw on the tube, then screw an empty bottle onto the other end of the tube. Then turn the assembly upside down and shake it around to produce a vortex in the draining water.
