If you have a vibratory tool you can join whatever since PLA melts so low but round shit you can put in a chuck will weld with a drill. They do wear down a bit though, so you need some extra material and you stop when it’s in the right place.

I actually prefer other kinds of fastening for pla. Magnets can be melted into undersized holes via a soldering iron (just avoid cooking too hot, keep it around 100 degrees).

Push fits and friction welds work well in certain applications.

Well done! bet you got a lot better at soldering quickly haha!

You’re also giving money to a company that has completely screwed all the people who made 3d printing possible by a culture of open sharing.

I would strongly recommend it. After switching I can barely tolerate normal keyboards as I now notice how much strain I’m under using them.

Just the ability to move around with your postural changes is so great. It’s very easy to make your own and I thoroughly endorse it.

I am maybe slightly faster than I was on qwerty once you account for accuracy (more accurate on this). I actually had some injury issues that stopped me practicing or writing much in general, but I would say I vastly prefer colemakdh and ergo keyboards to type on anyway.

I spent a lot of time fussing around the symbols layer (brackets, logical operators etc) and that’s been a huge comfort gain for coding.

Keycaps have held up fine, the ridges accumulate dead skin a bit and need regular cleaning to not look disgusting. I actually have a resin printer now and since I’ve settled on my layout have been meaning to print some embossed smooth keycaps.

Tinkering with electronics alone indoors is like the opposite of punk.

I also switched to colemakdh with a series of layers and qmk tricks. My typing is quite slow so far, around 30 wpm, I was never an amazing typist but I haven’t noticed difficulty with standard qwerty layouts.

It’s not like you get confused between a harp and a guitar, or a spoon and a knife.

Even if that was true effectiveness is never acceptable justification for cruelty

Me approaching Foss developer with bug: Pardon me, if you could grace this lowly worm with but a moment of your attention; I with me a bug report, and I believe I have found the section of code responsible. This inadequate being lacks the technical expertise to fix it and would be eternally indebted if you would turn your monumental skills upon its trifling problems. It would please me immensely if my paltry efforts were of some assistance.
