    Well, to expand, I had a cough for three weeks, just could not rest, took a break from work Monday, got steroids and a chat with my psych on Tuesday, so on Wednesday after two days of no ritalin/deep rest and a new pr resting heartbeat (I love health gameifaction) I decided to start back easy with half my normal dose of ritalin and my second max dose of steroids 8x5mg (I think)

    It was a lot like that bradley cooper movie, no idea the name, “I can maintain” just got lots done, including dusting off my bike and going for a spin, https://sh.itjust.works/post/20050726

    Anyway the rest of day was fine really, I just kinda lay there until 5 in the morning, getting more annoyed about how I’ve fucked up Thursday just because I couldn’t sleep.

    I am probably just way overdoing the ritalin at 60mg a day, so 30mg+max adult dose of steroids after two days with no ritalin was stilk too much.











  • If you stick with basic PLA, terrible, it’s quite stiff but brittle, you’ll end up making very chunky parts compared to injection molded ABS or even nylon. best middle ground I’ve found is a PLA+ or PLA tough, still easy to print and flexible enough.

    I’ve only broken two PLA+ prints (that weren’t an engeering fail) one’s a kitchen press latch that all three kids hung off for dear life, and the other warped from being soaked in petrol.

    Suppose the other important thing to note is you’re unlikely to be able to print a drop in replacement part, prints need to be aligned for strength and built up a little more around screw holes and pivots, on the other hand you can print shapes that could never be injection molded, ymmv!
