On: Poor Man's Polaroid

[filcuk]

Funny, it's not two days that I've published what I called 'we have Polaroid at home' https://www.printables.com/model/1622259-14mm-label-tape-pic...

Note it's just a 3D printable stand for tiny printer labels (16mm wide). It was a literal 5 minute project but I liked the retro and restrictive aesthetic enough to share..

Such printer as shown is an absolute bargain at £15

I can't say this is exactly what you're after, but this article is really interesting https://calpaterson.com/bank-python.html

Similar to what the author describes, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this information is generally not public.

First thing that caught my eye. Apparently the reason is to make use of stronger, more consistent winds on open sea.

If it's an individual, it could be as simple as portfolio cred ('look, I found and helped fix a security flaw in this program that's on millions of devices ')

Thanks for sharing. Looking at the first section- official mermaid playground supports both ui and text editing. It's been a life changer.

Don't use Google then.

Everything new builds on top of the old.

It is 50mp camera still, otherwise you would not be able to increase quality by averaging those pixels. I dont think anyone need 15000px noisy poor quality image over standard high res with good quality

Maybe it wasn't clear in my original comment. It sucks picture-quality-wise, and ON TOP of that, they use misleading messaging with their 50MP mode... Colour is washed out, focus is all over the place... I see no reason to buy a 6 before my 5 dies, which is funny because I can swap its components out indefinitely I guess...

Teflon is typically not the issue, it's very non-reactive and non-sticky (duh), meaning it just passes through. Attaching such material to metal takes some serious chemistry, though.

That can be a bit misleading, I feel. It depends on how well the layers are fused together, post-processing, or even the orientation of the print. At best, it can be nearly as strong as a water bottle, but I wouldn't expect it to be.
