Microcenter ABS is pretty nice. In general they do some good stuff.

Of course you run exhaust fans! I run Bambi’s with enclosures, I don’t have an exhaust fan setup yet.

I often wonder about fumes and cancer risks.

Not a direct reference of the Henry vi character

Adding in references, they are characters from Jeanne D’arc. It’s a lovely tactical rpg akin to Final fantasy tactics.

These are the main villains I believe

Liking the fine line work on this quite a bit.

I like the Thanksgiving undertones.

I get various cartoon dog vibes from this.

Yes, I harvested 3, then left three to age on plant. They are browned and are atop the stalks.

Yes in my experience, ABS is an easier print.

For ASA, I think maybe Sainsmart. They also do bad tpu, so maybe source was the problem.

How do you handle fumes with ASA? they are much worse than ABS, imo.

Hey! I was thinking about doing this.

Any useful info, should o give it a go?

[–] Rutty 2 points 2 weeks ago

Essentially. I was growing oregano, basil, flowers, and thyme in others.

Printed right side up. Everything was achieved via support setting optimization, and heated support removal where necessary (nose and lip in particular).

PLA holds up alright, but it’s gets brittle. There are just better choices.

Interesting point about the ABS, it appears to be holding up very good, but I’ll monitor it overtime.

ABS is nice, PETG good, ASA hard to print, PLA holds up(but don’t recommend).

I had a volunteer milkweed this year in my small raised bed/container garden.

Early into the season it developed a yellow aphid infestation. I was horrified! They were disgusting things (and far, far too many of them). While I was interested in an insect garden, I was worried spread to nearby plants, specifically my prized blackberries, affecting yields.

I researched and treated the aphid infestation with Neem Oil and basically killed the living population. Success!

Or so I thought…

After I traveled for about a month, I returned to see the aphids had rebounded in full force.

An interesting thing though, neither had they spread to other plants.

Even more interesting there were ladybugs, there were beetles, there were wasps, there was even a praying mantis.

I wouldn’t say the milkweed is super happy about the arrangement, but it is growing, and it was a volunteer into the garden.

Overall it’s been the best plant of the season by far teaching me a little bit about ecosystems.

TLDR: my aphid infestation totally allowed my predator insect population to boom
