    Hi, I’m a clinical pharmacist who specializes in infectious disease

    Though I’m sure it contributes to some capacity, I highly doubt that agricultural antibiotic use plays a significant role in the generation of the multi drug resistant bacteria we see in healthcare, relative to the role that over use of antibiotics in medicine plays

    Most agricultural antibiotics utilize amoxicillin, which is of the most narrow spectrum antibiotics in the hospital

    The way bacteria develop resistance is through the expression of specific enhancements that either neutralize the drug from inside, decrease the drugs ability to get inside the cell, or increase the rate at which drug is pumped outside the cell

    The exact mechanism employed by bacteria varies, but generally amoxicillin has a very low selection pressure for more than one type of resistance, if even (as there are quite a few other more serious bacteria out there that simply are not covered by amoxicillin)

    This is opposed to our more broad spectrum agents that try to cover every bacteria under the sun. Now with our broad spectrum antibiotics, there is lot more pressure for bacteria to develop multiple resistance mechanisms, which is really bad and THOSE are the bacteria that we are worried about

    I am not going to get into the nuance of potential ways agriculture is impacting antimicrobial resistance, which it is, I just would argue that the clinically significant antimicrobial resistance is more so due to human consumption of antibiotics

    we don’t tend to see patients come in with antibiotic resistance, unless they have an extensive history of antibiotic use

    Ha, I totally did. My apologies, but I genuinely appreciate you sharing further! Guess that's what I get for trying to read so many interesting posts on mobile 😅

    My background is not even close to engineering/3D modeling, so when I first started using Fusion I honestly had no idea where to start. I think one benefit to the program however is its' sheer popularity, as for anything I have wanted to do to my models, I can find a tutorial to help me figure it out. Highly recommend trying it out if you're wanting a nice modeling program. I have the educational version for a limited amount of time, but will likely transition to the free version for non-commercial use if they ever realize my student email is old

    I think I used SCAD once or twice for a parametric auto-spool rewinder, and it was super interesting how everything is just generated by editing the formula/numbers!

    Sorry again for the mix up on my response. This post got way more attention that I had expected, but I wanted to go through and try to respond to everyone that took the time to post something 🙂

    The hotend is definitely your issue. I print ABS at 250 first layer, 245 all layers after. 240 was too low on my temperature tower

    I think about the plastic waste from takeout time to time

    The other day I bought an order of black garlic ramen from a local noodle shop, and I got the order separated into the broth (in a quart plastic container), the noodles (in this little circular two compartment container), and the add-ins (in the upper part of the container)

    The plasticware was honestly nice enough to where I was a bit confused and thought it was Tupperware meant to be reused. If it didn’t seem so wasteful, I would have thought it was cool

    I suspect the public at large is not going to be happy to transition away from a system where take out food can be more sustainably packaged, nonetheless businesses that rely on take out orders packaged into wasteful little systems like that

    Personally I support trying to change that through regulation, but it’s going to be a culture shock for many people I suspect

    You’re using a single color primer, right? The few times I’ve painted my models I have had no issues, but it’s literally just a few times. I’m sorry to hear that you are having such bad luck though

    That’s super cool! I love how you’re involving the hobby with your daughter

    How is she taking to it? I don’t have kids of my own yet, but I am very much hoping that introducing them to things like 3-D modeling, and printing will do a lot to foster their creative sides. Definitely going to use the idea of a replacement day at the school as well. That sounds like an excellent way to help them out, while making a lot of friends

    I had linked to my printables profile elsewhere in the post, but I don’t have too much going on. I do have several models I re-created that have been fairly popular however and it always makes me excited when I get a rating 😊

    You'd appreciate the galileo 2 extruder then if you're interested in an orbiter

    How was your Voron build? I am currently planning on that as my next printer, so it can be something that just "works" with minimal tinkering (once arduously set up lol)

    I was scared of ABS for the longest time, but now that I have a nice textured PEI surface it's actually not that bad at all. I've also been getting into ASA more as of late

    That's so sad! I wonder what died. Printers are surprisingly simple when you start thinking about the circuitry and how it all goes together

    Yeah idk who came up with the naming scheme either. Are you still using the stock hotend, or is it the modiied one on your printables page? I use a 24V Noctua 4010 that does a good job cooling my V6 in a HeroMe setup. The guy managing that (MediaMan) does a good job on an easy alternate to the stock setup. I'm currently running it now with no issues :)

    My parts fan is then a 5015 radial blower that does a good job

    Have you tried drying the PETG? I keep mine in a drybox that maintains around 20% Rh (rH?) but even with new spools sometimes I'll pop them into my tiny convection oven at 120F/50C for 2-3 hours. Too much moisture increases the amount of filament that is pushed out on the finer details in my experience. Moisture vaporizes to steam, and then physically pushes excess plastic out, which then causes there to be less in some spots too

    What slicer are you using as well? Could also try reducing temp. I do 245C first layer, 240C afterwards

    Give ASA a try sometime! It's like ABS with less fumes. For me it prints very nicely onto a textured PEI plate

    Here's my printables profile too! I don't have too much, but I reconstructed some model files that people seem to be really enjoying

    Printing your own models is super cool on its own. Especially when you do such a great job painting them!

    I like the workspace too in the closet. I assume you have a hose to vent outdoors? I’ve stayed away from resin partially because of the smell, but mostly the fact that most of my printing is for functional purposes, although I would love to do more aesthetic prints like yours! One project my wife and I are super interested in, is printing a 3-D settlers of Catan board that she will have printed. My FDM pieces come out OK, but don’t compare to SLA

    Enders are super straightforward to troubleshoot. If you ever get serious about wanting it to work feel free to PM me and we can chat on discord

    I’ve casually discussed with several of other printers on here, but would love to casually chat about the hobby

    What you print with, materials, settings, slicer, etc.

    Me personally, I use a heavily modified Ender 3V2 that runs klipper with a dual z axis and direct drive extruder hotend (orbiter 2.0 on a V6)

    I print a variety of PLA, PETG, and just recently got into ABS and ASA

    I’m currently working on wiring up a stealth burner setup for the X axis though (in preparation for my Voron build 👀)

    And I just recently finished printing the Input Labs Alpakka controller! (which is super duper cool)

    But yeah I’m down to answer any questions or talk about anything 3D Printer related
