RE: Asking for Passwords
@Benjamin-Hall I take it back. It's worse. They're using a google form to collect the passwords...
I quote from the email (and this was repeated in person):
Please fill in the Google form below with your full name and computer password.
Computer Password Request Form. You must sign in with your Tampa Prep email in order to be able to open the form.
Note: You will see a little warning message saying “Never submit passwords through Google Forms”- please ignore that message. -
RE: One final niggly detail
@cartman82 I'm no lawyer, but if you didn't sign it up front, it didn't happen. Their loss.

@Benjamin-Hall Good idea. I never thought of that.
I saw it on Reddit, actually. I was prepared to break out the big guns (a sharp scraper), but didn't want to damage the build plate.
ON a related note, I'm going to switch to water-soluble resin for the next prints. Because the regular stuff is so annoying to deal with.

RE: The unofficial offical bad pun of the day thread
From my ever-inventive uncle:
I was running a study where I dressed some people up as Koalas to see if it made them sound more Australian. It mostly went well, but some people needed to be shifted into the no-costume control group because they didn't like the fake fur.
I hate diskoalafying participants. 🐨🐨🤦♀️ -

@Benjamin-Hall I know those feels.
I ended up freezing the build plate overnight (sealed in an air tight plastic bag) and it popped off in the morning.

@Benjamin-Hall first attempt stuck to the vat, not the plate. Second attempt after re-leveling completed... But is now very firmly adhered to the build plate. Sigh.

Printer Status: Test Print 6%. Doesn't actually smell very bad at all (using ABS-like resin). The active filter must do a pretty good job.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Zenith Then the particularity and/or volume of your containerization needs is much different than anything I've considered. Because even my local Walmart carries a plethora of clear plastic containers of many different sizes, and they stack.
Sure, my little Honda Civic couldn't carry too many, but when stacked up empty, I could carry 8-10 of the larger ones combined between normal interior volume and trunk.
Side question--have you considered whether the abundance of things you own may be a net detriment? Are you making a profit considering holding costs, time, and aggravation on your toy side business? Is it enough to be worth wading through stacks of stuff?
Then again, I'm fairly minimalist as to possessions. Other than furniture, everything I own would comfortably fit into a small U-haul. And most of that would probably be jettisoned if I had to move anywhere more than locally. As would most of my furniture. I'd bet that I could fit all the stuff that actually matters to me in my car with room to spare. And stuff that doesn't matter to me and that I don't need to live directly tends to get discarded/given to charity on a regular basis.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Zenith have you ever considered that it might be both more cost effective and less frustrating to simply buy your containers at a local store, even if the unit cost is higher? Because shipping them seems to very much not work. And in part, that makes sense. Shipping an empty container is the most fragile state, since it allows maximum flexing in transit.
