@Waitnwallflower thanks! I always pay extra for the tricolor. I used to do it for my kids but now I keep doing it, for me.
@dillyd
You get to choose a colour if you drive through a carwash???Whereabouts is that!?!?? I never ever heard about something like this, and am getting the feeling now that I have been missing out on this all my life!! 🤭👍

@dillyd I love it! It's always fun to get the car washed, we always make it an event in my family

@theVedek @Waitnwallflower
I live in Quebec, and most carwashes have an option, for a couple dollars more, of tricolor soap. I think it's an option in the US, too?Then you can pay even more for the deluxe wax or whatever, but I only go for the color.
My latest carwash place also has a multicolored led light strip on the equipment that moves overhead, which adds even more color. But I've only seen this in one specific carwash, not everywhere.

That sounds great! 😃
I never saw anything like that here. (Here = Germany) So cool.

i'll edit it to include yours

@MarcusMASTO
That article was interesting in so many ways! Thanks for sharing it.
“My deep and abiding feeling is that if you look at anything closely enough, there will be new riches to be found,” Nagel said.And now I know why the salt stains on the street have more white around the edges! I posted a photo of it last winter but it auto-deleted - my posts delete if I don't favorite them - I'll try to get another photo this year of the phenomenon.

@tasket@infosec.exchange an official protocol handler would help a lot. Today there is the option of introducing a web protocol handler but the UX for it is pretty dogshit (Piefed recently implemented it, and the number of dialogues was too damn high!)
That said I don't know if PWAs can register against non-web protocol handlers. That would be useful for sites like NodeBB.

Testing a Continuous Printing Mod for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini
There are a few types of continuous 3D printing with FDM printers, with a conveyer belt and automatic build plate swapping the most common types. The advantage of build plate swapping is that it automates the bit where normally a human would have to come in to remove finished parts from the build plate. A recent entry here is the Chitu PlateCycler C1M which the [Aurora Tech] YouTube channel had over for a review. This kit bolts onto the Bambu Lab A1 Mini FDM printer and comes with four extra PEI build plates for a not unreasonable $79 (€69).
As also noted in the review video, this is effectively a clone of the original swapmod A1m kit, but a big difference is that the Chitu kit comes with all of the parts and doesn’t require you to print anything yourself.
The different plates are prepared using a special tool that inserts G-code between the plate changes. Moving the bed in a specific way triggers the switch that lifts the finished plate off the magnetic bed by the plastic grip on the plate and loads a fresh plate from the stack. Here it was found that a small tolerance issue prevented the last plate from being used, but some sandpaper fixed this. Other than that it was a fairly painless experience, and for e.g. multi-color prints with separated colors – as demonstrated – it would seem to be a great way to churn out the entire model without manual intervention or a lot of wasted filament.
Perhaps the main issue that is central to all of these build plate swap mods is where the plates go after they’re pulled off the magnetic bed: the padded box is a great idea for the first one or two plates, but after that you get your PEI build plates with parts on them crashing on top of each other.
This is where perhaps something like a passive roller conveyer system could provide a nice gentle off-ramp, though this too would increase the footprint of the system. Regardless, the overall system seems to work well enough, allowing one to stack fresh plates in the chute and if you turn on build plate detection in the A1 you can even prevent the printer from trying to print on the magnetic bed.

@fediversereport If they are smart they will fix a raft of fundamental UX pitfalls in current ActivityPub by defining a protocol handler for it.
Email needed its protocol handler spec while it was getting established – and arguably still does – and I do think this is one of the ways in which ActivityPub is "like email".
