It’s gotten to the point in the last year or so where I trust hobby-printed parts in non-critical applications though I certainly wouldn’t trust anything I personally design. :v:

Do any of y'all use UV-cured resin 3D printers? Are resins generally cross-compatible between printers, or do I have to stick with brand X resin if I buy a brand X printer? How's the odor?

I have a resin SLA printer, the resins are pretty generic.

In general yes. There are so many opinions on resin brands (most of them are similar chemistry) that I haven't pieced together any kind of useful answer to your middle question. Odor depends on brand and sometimes color. Odor isn't the problem...that just means you can actually smell the fumes. You don't want the fumes, whether it smells bad or not. Put it in the garage, or in a closed room near an open window.

I have a regular Photon, I've only used the green Anycubic resin it came with (I don't print large things, or often). I have a bottle of Elegoo gray up next, which is very popular with Photon users.

Surely the truck was already barreling along at 100km/h before it exploded, and carrying all of that momentum into its flight.

Wouldn't be surprised if that was from the explosion alone, really. Liquefied gas is under some good pressure (assuming lpg and 90f like Beijing was today, 150psig) and if the tanker got split the right way, you could end up with like 2/3 of an 11mt tanker getting propelled by an area of 7000in² for a force of 1.05 million pounds until the propane disappears and isn't flash boiling and rocketing the tanker around anymore.

Pressurized cylinders of any kind are FUCKIN BAD NEWS in an accident. When they rupture or the valve gets busted off they tend to turn into finless, directionless rockets. They will straight up RUIN. YOUR. poo poo.

This is why you have to have warning signs if you store pressurized gas bottles, so in case of a fire firefighters are aware of the risk.

Kastein explained it with some math but no, the truck was probably standing still. I saw (video, photos) of a industrial accident in the early 90's near Sydney that

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg12617110-800-liquid-petroleum-gas-explosion-outside-sydney/

quote:

ONE OF the largest non-atomic explosions ever experienced in Australia
rocked a liquid petroleum gas storage depot not far from Sydney’s Mascot
International Airport in the early hours of Monday morning. A series of
explosions in the depot, owned by Boral Industries, triggered an enormous
blast in a 60 000-litre gas container, throwing it more than 150 metres
into a nearby canal. The intense heat from the explosions and fires charred
adjacent containers of equal size, but safety valves vented vaporising gas
to burn safely in the atmosphere. Emergency personnel evacuated residents
within a 3-kilometre radius of the depot before the main explosion. The
depot, directly beneath the flight path to Australia’s busiest airport,
was severely damaged but no one was killed or injured because the facility
was deserted at the time.

The tank itself was booted considerably more into the air - the container itself was about 100ton

The probable ignition source was a truck altho no one really knew as what remained of the truck was a puddle of metal

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
Slightly less explodey than atomic bombs and LPG depot disasters and whatnot, when I was a teenager my side of the street backed on to some woods/fields and at the end of the street was my friend's house. We spent many a night out behind his house around a fire drinking and doing drugs, mostly just smoking weed, but sometimes other stuff as it was the 90's and acid was in fashion again. We ended up burning many things, Commodore 64, bowling balls, trampolines etc, but one time someone put an aerosol can of Muskol in the fire. For those of you who've never heard of it, its a mosquito repellent. I don't know about now, but it was super chemically back then and liked to burn. Welp, the fire heated the can up, and the bottom blew off. Flames shooting out the bottom it took off like a missile, and flew about 100 feet before landing somewhere in the trees. No forest fires were caused by this. Thanks for reading my lame story.

We did the tennis ball on fire thing, and hitting 22 rounds with hammer (my friend got clipped by the shell, cut him). Threw some old mortar fireworks down a drain once in a suburb, it blew out a geyser of sparkles, and was loud as hell, got the hell out of there quickly. Oh also hit a mailbox from a moving car, with a bowling ball...that was hilarious at the time.

Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 and chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.
I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as long as we didn't make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. After running the car and letting it suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.
Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he doesn't know much about Audis.

Nah that's bullshit hey. Nothing here really wants to kill you it just can and will if you gently caress with it. Things like bears on the other hand, they might get the idea that you're pretty bloody tasty and absolutely go to town on you. I guess salties fall into that category but if you've got your head bolted on properly it's not really an issue.

I'll take a few dozen lethal spiders and snakes over something that wants to eat me every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

The greatest trick conservationists pulled was protecting vast swaths of the rockies (both US and Canada) for us to enjoy "forever" but letting the bear populations climb back up so everyone's constantly afraid of getting mauled to death.

Obviously it's a pretty rare occurrence but it's always in the back of your mind.

Yo, what'd you do to get that sweet AV I bought you removed?


Years ago the boys and I were out camping, one of us dropped a Coors Light into the fire, since Coors light is cheap, and we have had plenty, they didn't risk picking it out, and grabbed another.

Several minutes later, the can ruptured, flying about 75 feet into the river in a perfect ballistic arc, propelled by a jet of steam and CO2.

We spent the rest of the night trying to replicate the experiment, but no combination of proximity and angle yielded as impressive a result.

There's a rhyme about bears to tell you what to do if you encounter one.
If it's black, fight back
If it's brown, lay down
If it's white kiss your rear end goodnight

tl;dr don't gently caress with polar bears
