Me: Oh, I'll just upload a new version of that package before the lab tomorrow to fix a minor annoyance for students.
Also Me: Uhoh, Pypi has upgraded security stuff.
Still Me: verify email, save recovery codes, set up 2FA, generate API code
Phew, done. 😅
I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone and it was a nightmare

Teaching beginner developers is much harder than teaching advanced skills. It requires more patience, clarity, and empathy than people realize. 💡 True facts
This really hit home recently - I've been building out a few beginner workshops for Prelude and it's been a ride! https://buff.ly/4hq7FUr

Interesting how most of the pain points Michael from #teachingTech has with #FreeCAD / #Ondsel in this video are things that #SolveSpace does right:
- referencing arbitrary geometry from anywhere when sketching
- centered-on-line-constraint (though he probably just missed that in FreeCAD?)
- timeline of modelling steps
- no (okay, less...) cryptic error messages
I was just thinking about Naomi @RealSexyCyborg Wu yesterday, wondering if she's OK & missing her great contributions to the #maker space - and look what was in my breakfast feed this morning.
Michael #TeachingTech Laws is already one of my favorite makers (even though most of his stuff is well above my level) - brilliant, generous & really good at explaining stuff - & this only endears him to me even more 💛
Nice shredder too 😊
#TeachingTech on Youtube has a video for #Creality #CR6SE style leveling, which is what I have, for the #Ender3
Load cell leveling is great, I use it, but it can have its quirks. Just make sure that the bowden tube doesn't mess with the sensor. If you have a direct drive, then I think it would be one of the best solutions if you don't have the flexibility of a #Voron #Stealthburner.
The next good place to start is Slicer Flow Calibration.
This calibrates your flow and extrusion of your printer. This mostly comes into affect with layer adhesion and adhesion between walls.
If you are noticing gaps between your walls, when using multiple walls, or that your print dimensions are off, this is most likely the problem.
This one is also not that simple to tune, it you need to test it with multiple filaments to get a base line and get something that "almost" works and then tune it further.
I usually tune it to my printer and then to my filament. I do this by calibrating the slicer flow and extrusion width in my slicer for the printer and my extruder and then increasing the extrusion multiplier for each individual filament as I need it.
For example, my extrusion multiplier for #PLA is 1.0 but 1.07 for #ABS.
Slicer Flow Calibration by #TeachingTech on #YouTube:
Often the first thing to calibrate by many is the z-offset. This is not wrong, but because I already have my z-offset so well tuned for my 0.4mm nozzle at 0.21mm, it isn't too wrong to just use this for my 0.6mm nozzle.
Some would notice that 0.21 is just more than half of 0.4, so 0.3 or something in that range could work for a 0.6mm nozzle.
Could be, but I have found that z-offset is no perfect science and it is just one of those things that you need to test.
But because of the effects and improvements due to #LinearAdvance, I like to tune it first. Because, on a single line you would not notice an incorrect z-offset at all, except if it is completely wrong and you get no bed adhesion at all.
So by eliminating that factor, you can then safely tune the z-offset after Linear Advance

I just moved to this server, and I realized I need a new #introduction post. So here we are.
I'm an Aussie expat (originally from the #SunshineCoast in QLD) and I've lived in Osaka for 17 years. I was a primary school teacher for about 10 years, and now I teach at a girls’ #highschool in #Kyoto. I have 3 kids so I constantly have no time or money. Interested in #CLIL, #PBL, #TeachingTech, #apple I'm a refugee from the bird site so if you recognize me from there, long time no see!
