Joy, I used a hot air gun with variable temperature to clear my 0.1mm Nozzle with the help or a 0.1mm drill, and then an out of machine atomic pull.
All nice and clean again, once I have finished printing my 35% Draco prints it will be back to the 0.1mm for some test pieces, but starting with a plain white filament.

Just watched the trailer of the Dark Tower. Buthurt lvl 99. Why, why in God's name they took on the role of Roland not a Clint Eastwood? Elba's a good actor, but damn, Stephen king wrote in the Preface to the book, which meant Eastwood as a Gunslinger. Paul, what's happen with these world?

I see him all around town...he chats baseball (Red Sox) whenever we cross paths. I've never chatted much with him about his books or the screenplays used for the film versions.

Imho, his books goes much worse after car accident. And yep, Dolores Claiborne was brilliant novel.

It's a real struggle to find things that are under an hour
A lot of Scottish Dogs and low poly Pokemon characters are popular

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Been there, still doing that. My house was built in 1934, and I bought it in 2003 (I later found out that it used to be the local birthing center for this small town). The 'circuit breaker' was actually split into two 100amp bus fuse panels (remember the screw in type?), with 4 sub panels off of those. The meter base was on the back side of the house, so the main feed from the pole stretched over the driveway and hung from the corner of the house to get around it. I replaced that mess with a new meter base mounted on my shop (fed from a different street), and a 200amp service underground (3' trench) to a new 200amp, 40 circuit panel (plenty of room for growth). Then I started rewiring the house. Currently, all of the old 'knob & tube' wiring is dead, but since that circuit controlled all of the lighting on the main floor, I am having to rewire room by room. Needless to say, this is still an ongoing project.
Oh, and so far I am into this by about $3000 since I am doing it all myself (replacement meter base and panel alone was quoted at $10,000 by a contractor).

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Wow
3 Days of Comic-Con style fun are over!
R2-D2 was extremely popular as ever...the printers ran and ran and ran....the kids found the pokeman character (I'm at a loss for the name) which used PVA support for the chin fascinating. Before I knew it they had them in cups of water, checking every few hours to see how gooey the PVA support had gotten. Pretty fun to see their enthusiasm
I would say 90% of the people looking at the printers had "heard" of 3D printing but had no idea how it worked. They were fascinated.
Another 10% either had a Makerbot or kit printer (sub $500) and quickly noted how their printers were either much noisier or not reliable enough to make parts like the Ultimakers do with ease. I really expected to hear a lot of "my $500 printer is just as good" type things. Instead I heard how they struggle, due to cheap Chinese parts or constantly having to repair their printers to get modest results. While the pricing of the UM2+Extended or UM3 seemed way out of their budget, most agreed...you get what you pay for. I didn't play salesman, I let the printers and the prints do the talking. Many people really liked the notion of buying an Ultimaker, unboxing it, leveling the bed and just printing.
