I live a mile from the nearest safe road to bike on. People regularly nearly hit me in my car. I'd be dead if I biked anywhere

That's fantastic if your city offers busses! Or public transportation at all 😭

It's 31% of my city's entire budget. Our parks service gets over 5 times less and we have a crazy number of parks here.

But hey, the police needed a new station! The old one was all of 7 years old! And it only had a regular 50 inch TV, not a 4k one!

Meanwhile the best playground in the city has had all it's mulch piled to the side for months, with nobody, including several city and county officials I've spoken to, knowing why.

Fun thing: that police budget is actually down percentage wise. Money wise it's up by a million, but our wonderful mayor decided it would be brilliant to not renew our garbage pickup without another option on the table. Now we have trash pickup that's twice as expensive and won't pick up trash in the back yard for the elderly without them paying almost $150 a month for the service.

Not ending a sentence with a preposition is a stupid and meaningless rule. Everyone does it. Language has moved on. Get over it.

It doesn't hurt them. Why the hell should they care? Their massive bonuses go through whether Dave gets to give presents to his kids this year or not!

Obsidian is just sooooo good. I hate that you (technically 😉) have to pay for multi device sync, but the UI and UX are excellent, especially if you're already proficient in markdown

Haven't tried logseq before, so I can't compare

He tried to kill the active President, not for political reasons, but to impress an actress who didn't know he existed.

Ender 3 having issues with text (sh.itjust.works)

Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with text such as the one in this image. Big or small, fancy or regular, all text comes out looking like it does in the image - cracked and hollow. I've spent the last few days trying to figure out why, and I'm stumped.

I've tried printing slower and slower and adding more and more top layers (the bottom 2 bottle caps are completely solid with 100% infil), but it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Here's what I'm working with:

Ender 3
- Software 2.0.8.27
- Hardware 4.2.2
CR Touch
PrusaSlicer 2.8.0
MakerBot PLA Filament
I've used various temperatures and speeds. All of them have generated the terrible text you see here

Thanks in advanced for the help!

Update: We seem to be getting somewhere!

The top 2 are the same ones featured in the post above. The bottom left was printed at 110% extrusion and normal speed. The bottom right was printed at 110% extrusion and a much slower speed for the text, and it looks much better! I'm printing another now with higher bridge flow rate (it was 70%, I set it to 85%), so I'll update again in a few minutes when that finishes!

Thanks for the information about calibrating e steps from everyone! It's getting late, so I don't want to mess around with that tonight, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow!

Update 2: welp.

That's possibly the worst one yet. I'm reprinting the bigger insert piece seen in the original post to check if my printer simply can't do that quality or if it's the e steps. If it's e steps, I'm going to bed...

Update 3:

Welp, seems like it's the e-step. However, it's too late for me to care about that right now, so I'm going to bed. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll work on fixing the issue tomorrow
