A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend to follow the ceiling contour and wouldn’t need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.

You mean, before employers stole our paid lunch breaks and gaslit everyone into forgetting about them.

cut straight.

Well there’s your problem! Unless you’re prepared to skim coat and flatten the ceiling, you’ve got to scribe your trim to it (and even then the result will be “less bad,” not “good”). Straight won’t work!

You can’t do trim on trim because it’s too much ornamentation for those modernist cabinets.

This is a perfect example of what folks often don’t understand about modernism: they think it should be cheap because it has simple shapes without fancy ornamentation, but they don’t realize the ornamentation hides all the crimes. To do modernism right you have to have precision instead, and that actually costs more than fancy trim.

Frankly, the drywaller needs to be called back in, because he didn’t understand the assignment.

They’re not. They’re supposed to use their wheelchair on that same infrastructure that’s great for human-scale wheeled vehicles.

Nobody who’s actually disabled believes that. Knock it off with the dishonest faux white-knighting.

“Mildly” only because I’m pretty sure it’s already illegal. Still, fucking absurd that they even have the gall to try.

He should unionize the staff before he leaves.

My Ender 3 required a little bit of assembly (attaching the Z-axis frame and the control panel, along with associated wires), but my Monoprice one came completely assembled. It was literally just plug it in, check the bed for level (which wasn’t automatic, but also required little to no adjustment out of the box), feed in some filament, and then print the lucky cat gcode that came on the SD card.

It’s not “for repairs.” It is, itself, damage.

I remember reading someone getting taken down because they were asking how to extrude instead of pad while they were on the ‘part design’ workbench

Why are those even two different things at all?!

Those two would probably never have gotten started if not for how easy the Bambus are. It took me a month to get decent results off my first printer and they were up and running in a few hours tops.

I’ve got to admit, I’ve never understood that sort of issue. I’ve owned two 3D printers, a Monoprice MP Select Mini (bought back when it was the only ‘cheap’ printer in existence… holy shit, probably almost a decade ago) and a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE (because it was the best ‘cheap’ printer as of a couple years ago), and both of them gave me decent prints pretty much out of the box. After bed leveling, obviously, but without any other weird hardware adjustment or excessive experimentation with slicer settings.

I feel like the vaunted ‘superior ease of use’ of the Bambu stuff is overblown, but IDK, maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Even in the context of having only experienced certain other CAD software a little bit (e.g. SolidEdge for one class in college, SketchUp for making maybe a handful of models, total), FreeCAD really is worse to use. It’s not just the UI, (although it is partly that and it is genuinely worse, not just neutrally different), it’s that stuff just starts breaking whenever you try to do anything even slightly complex (even after the “topological naming fix”), and that the workflow is just annoyingly internally inconsistent.

For example, you can make a sketch and then apply constraints to it and it’s all well and good, but then you extrude it and suddenly you have to declare the height by setting the properties of the extrude instead of using a constraint or dimension. I assume there’s some kind of workaround involving declaring variables in the data table thing I can’t remember the name of or how to access right now, but it shouldn’t have to be that way. You ought to be able to do things like create a cube by declaring an X edge to be the same length as a Y edge to be the same length as a Z edge using the same tool to set both relationships.

And this is coming from somebody who refuses to use proprietary CAD as a matter of principle at this point, and therefore really, really wants to like FreeCAD.

I like “I Like To Make Stuff” on Youtube, but it annoys the Hell out of me that he plugs Autodesk Fusion 360 all the time (to the point that he even sells his own course teaching how to use it). On the bright side, at least he uses Prusa instead of Bambu, but still, the Autodesk shilling is almost enough to make me quit watching his channel.

Nothing “mildly” about this shit!

My city and state both have so-called “Complete Streets” policies, yet still fail to do that. They’re literally violating their own rules, but it would take a lawsuit to stop it.
