  • That’s how they make paper and a lot of other flat goods like tape. The manufacturer makes these gigantic rolls then there’s this entire industry called converting where a company, a converter, takes it and process it down into a finished product. They may add adhesives, lamination or printing to it during the process.

    You can go to a store and buy 3M tape but 3M doesn’t actually make it like that. They make a 12ft wide, 10,000 ft roll that someone buys and forklifts into a machine that cuts it into a bunch of smaller rolls that you can buy







  • Well, not to defend these idiots, but according to the article, the wiretap turned out to be untrue. They’re investigating leaks and Hegseth’s lawyer started the rumor but now denies it and basically him and everybody under Hegseth are stupid and are turning the leak investigation into a way to attack each other for personal vendettas and everybody is stupid and lying and infighting and nobody above them knows what is going on, not that there’s anyone above them with an IQ close to triple digits anyway.







  • I’ve used a lot of 12x3mm and smaller magnets without them jumping up and attaching to the print head but I did have it happen with larger 40x10x3 rectangular magnets. It ruined the print and caused a huge clog, but I came up with another way to embed magnets because of it.

    I designed a long 10x3 tunnel into the print, printed the object without pause, then slid the magnets into the tunnel. I printed a couple spacers to go between the magnets to place them how I wanted them and I printed a plug to glue into the opening of the tunnel. The plug was a second color so it stood out and made a little accent.

    I haven’t done it yet but I thought it would be cool to add a little decorative design to the original object to be printed in a second color and make the tunnel plug the same second color and hide it in the decorative design.
