This annoys the shit out of me on a daily basis

Well the cylinder has a stroke length of ~8 inches (it’s a little less) it is 17 inches from the pivot point, the other arm is 6 inches from the pivot.

When the cylinder is fully extended, the crushing plate will move down about 3 inches which is greater than the width of most cans. (At least greater than all of the cans I have.)

It flattened cans sideways because I wanted to be able to put them through a shredder. It was very close to accomplishing that, if the base plate didn’t bend to shit, I’m sure it would have worked.

Yes! But the crushinator is a big girl, mine couldn’t hold a candle to that, so she squishes instead of crushes!

I literally just got my Saturn 4 ultra two weeks ago, it prints PERFECTLY right out of the box. I literally did nothing to set it up. I’m so used to my CR10 needing to be babysat it was shocking how well the prints come out.

I have heard of them losing their Z position and ramming the build plate into the reservoir repeatedly, but that the only problem I have really heard of them having.

Maybe yours has a defect?

I did! And you have no idea, those damn horses can be scary. We had one a while back (total asshole of a horse) that kept escaping and walking on the streets, I had to walk it back one day, it decided very abruptly that is was terrified of the gate. It started rearing up and shit.

I panicked because we were right in the gateway and I was very close to it. I just knew I had to get it back in so the first thing I thought to do was punch it in the face… it worked. We sold him very shortly after that.

I should have recorded while I was testing it, once I replaced the base plate, I will absolutely record it!

I thought the zoomed detail was a cheese grater.

I use Connect on my phone and I just click this button:

It automatically uploads and formats the markdown for the post, it’s really handy!

Subtly?

I spit on my phone when abruptly laughed at this.

Pamela Anderson didn’t even need to show up.
