    Thank you for your post, I feel the exact same way. I love working with AI. It helps me grow, it helps me be more efficient with my time, I am producing work that impresses me every day.
    There are a lot of tech workers/tildes posts that I cannot have a conversation with because "anything AI is awful".

    I had printed, on my Bambu P1S , for a couple years on a PEI plate without glue. It worked great, never had a failed print. I had tried some ABS and it recommended using glue, so I tried it for the first time. No issues, no sticking issues. However I have used glue on all prints since then just because. I could get away without it but it doesn't hurt.

    I think my question is, how often do people reapply glue or completely clean all the glue off and reapply? I will add glue and do like 15 prints before adding a bit more glue. And then I will completely clean the plate after maybe 50 prints. I'm probably not doing this right but I don't have any issues so I'm not sure.

    Thanks for the data! Let's hope this wasn't intentional.

    I really wish I could just use my Google TV on my Hisense TV. I had move from an older LG to this 2023 model Hisense, not connecting it to the Internet. Plugged in my Google TV. And no matter I did, I could not resolve really terrible laggy picture, it was very clear in sports games. I tried so many settings, and multiple Chromecasts and Google TV sticks, all of them had this issue. I switched to the Google TV built in, everything was solved. But the built in Google TV is no where as fast as even the legacy versions I have.

    I had been a huge fan initially because of his go getter attitude and working hard. I really enjoy learning about being a more productive person and applying that. It all started to fall apart though, I'm sure it was around the same time others started to. It's a bummer because I want a cheap electric car in the future, and a used Model 3 is a nice option, but I don't know that I would even consider it now..

    When it fell off the spool it essentially was like a bound up spring, and created a bunch of knots within knots. I might take a video to demonstrate.

    It has a lot more twist in it than rope. It spins up into little clumps that require sending the filament through a maze. The problem I find is once I thread a section through a "knot" it just keeps repeating for the rest of the clump.

    The filament is detached and laying in a tangle on the floor, in a sad mess.
