This looks like either underextrusion causing gaps in the surface, or the filament sticking to the nozzle a little too much and tearing as the nozzle passes over it.

Simple things first:

  • check that the extruder clamp screw (that holds the filament against the extruder drive gear) is still tight - it's possible that the filament is just not being pressed against the extruder drive, allowing it to slip

  • is your nozzle clean on the outside? or does it have a clump of plastic buildup on it? if there's plastic stuck on the outside of the nozzle, the extruded plastic may be sticking to it and tearing

  • is this a filament that you've used on this printer before? have you done a temperature tower? have you done a flow rate calibration?

  • do you have more pictures of your test prints? other angles?

He doesn't suddenly become a good person just because he saved one TV show that I liked

Oh no, certainly not.

My point is, it should've been super easy for them to further capitalize on this IP, but they did nothing instead.

SyFy was unable to turn it into a source of revenue

I feel like Amazon totally missed the boat on this too.

Like, where was the merch? why didn't they capitalize on the popularity of it? where were the T-shirts, the cosplay outfits, the toys, the model kits? you know the Expanse fanbase would buy model kits.

They have a fucking online retail store, which they control the advertising on, plus every possible contact in the manufacturing industry they could possibly need. Promoting merch for the series would've been so fucking easy, and producing it would've cost them next to nothing compared to the show production.

yeah, but who knew the Windows startup sound was a vaporwave masterpiece?

Yeah man, this thing's just a prototype for airframe design testing:

Tell me that wouldn't create UFO sighting reports if it was seen flying around in 1996.

There is a government coverup, but it's boring, it's just to protect military secrets. People embellish because they want it to be exciting, otherworldly, special.

The problem is that many employers are requiring employees to use them.

Don't worry, nothing will change, it will still be Obama's fault somehow.
