  • I was referring to the waveyness in the center, though the warping on the esges is partly caused by both the oils and the cooling shrinkage, I believe.

    The uniform buckling of the layer in the middle of the sheet is what I’m leaning on, but I don’t believe that your fan speed is too high, or there would be more seperation between layers as the filament would cool too much before adhering to the layer below.

    I believe there are test STLs that assist in Dialing in your settings for printing plates in particular, but I’m avoiding printing surfaces that large until I get an enclosure built.
















  • Loot/Blind boxes are like a random pack of baseball cards that you can only show to other owners of baseball cards, or someone who is baseball-card adjacent.

    Some of them are “rare” in the sense that the card printing company refuses to make more, despite it costing them nothing after the initial card is made.

    What’s more is that the printing compamy has decades of psycologic practices to use on their card pack purchasers. For Example:

    • Casino-esque animations, enticing younger collectors before that aren’t even allowed to gamble legally, in person.
    • Rarity manipulation, making things rarer than listed. If they list anything more than ‘trust me bro.’
    • Making sure that purchasers are surrounded by pack buyers who have already got the rarer cards, generating card envy.
    • Removing entire card sets from purchase wirh the whole purpose of making purchasers feel like they will miss out, right now and forever, if they do not buy more packs of cards.

    Finally, there is also the fact that all of these cards are entirely digital, so the existance of the cards depend almost entirely on the whims of the printers.
