Posting the images separately - or, Raymond, simply putting them in your album with a note to that effect in a post here - would be fine for me.

My breath is bated.

FWIW, I typically resize my pics to 8" x 6" @120 pixels/inch which works for me and gives a decent size picture for the user if he clicks on it in a post.

Certainly ohm-meter measurements, with the thermistor plug disconnected at the PCB, indicate an intermittent open-circuit. Moreover that's the failure mode I'd expect from a constantly flexing cable. There's no visual sign of any short.

So I think your explanation has it, Duncan - thanks.

Just musing but ... it seems to me that the capacity of the world wide internet infrastructure depends not only on the number of people using it and their activities but also on the data speed. Doubling the data speed effectively doubles the capacity, which alone may be a good reason for increasing speeds regardless of whether most users can actually capitalise on those speeds.

Or maybe that's stating the obvious

Thanks, Neil (not Niel as I'm sure you know ).

So a temperature display that flickers from 60 °C to 7000-odd °C is indicating an intermittent short rather than open circuit.

The typical heat bed thermistor .... does its resistance increase or decrease with rising temperature?

I'm assuming it decreases but I would like to get it confirmed.

Sam, if you're interested - or becoming interested - in 3D Stereo, you might want to browse this site.

Just to be clear, Sam "free-viewing" encompasses both wall-eyed (parallel) and cross-eyed viewing.

Ah, finally the voice of reason.

Exactly, Sam. They're made for viewing side-by-side movies I think and I've used them for that with internet offerings quite effectively. Mostly I have the blinds wide open though.

Michael, that is very effective - thanks. I still can't free-view it any more though. Back in the day I was heavily into stereo photography (Stereo-Realist, Viewmaster and other cameras). I still have most of the cameras (except Viewmaster) I think. Film's presumably a problem these days.

In those days I could free view (wall-eyed) at the drop of a hat. Ah, the delights of ageing. I'm going down the road to cataracts myself

I could never do cross-eyed well Sam. More of a wall-eyed man myself (and not very good at that any more at my age - at one time I could just drop straight in ).

In any event, I copied the pic , flipped the shots and viewed with Ritech glasses .

That's pretty interesting. Never thought of doing stereo on PCBs.

That is incredibly good. One can only dream !

... except every time they are quoted.

It would be nice if people would take others' posts at face value more, rather than colouring them with their own prejudices.

(On that score one could take a leaf out of Ketan's book).

Neither one Ketan - I honestly don't see why you would assume that.

Simply that the conjunction of "extra" with "commission" suggests, to me, that there is a level of commission which is not "extra" and I was curious.

Maybe curious (or picky) would be a better word than joke or sarcasm.

Wow! you have a long memory

"extra" That's an interesting word. Does that mean he does get commission from Arc in other situations?

I do my own stuff too (really get a kick out of modelling then seeing the printed result!).

However I'm printing something right now from Thingi. It's a longish print (~8 hrs) and it's not going that well. I think the design could be modified to improve printing (and function actually) with some simple changes. But .... I only have an STL file. The only other recourse is to remodel it from scratch.

Incidentally, another way to get logged out unintentionally on this (and probably other sites) is to have too many tabs/windows into the site open at once.

I have a bookmark folder with multiple links to this site. Occasionally, instead of left-clicking to open the folder, I inadvertently centre-click it. This opens all the links at once in separate tabs and is guaranteed to get me logged out.

Do you do 3D printing?
