I realize that it's "just" a pastebin and there are many others of those around the web, but something feels very on-the-nose here about what Mozilla has become over the past years, both in the action and in the phrasing

The slicer view makes it pretty visible where it's getting its strength from!

The wires ended up not working very well - however, they did inspire a slightly different solution. Instead of wires, I now fill up the slots with a solid layer - but only a *single* layer, instead of the full height, which is just enough to provide extra rigidity.

I've also slightly increased the thickness of the whole thing again, because it was bending at the hooks too much, risking breakage under weight. I've also modified the end hooks a bit; they are now actually hook-shaped, and thinner in some non-critical places.

The end result is a plastic cost of 1.65 meters; only slightly higher than the empty-slot version, which was about 1.55 meters. The original design was 3 meters!

The design seems about perfect now; the hooks only engage with the rim of the bin once it's under weight and the hooks are pulled towards it, whereas without weight there's enough margin that you can take off the whole net without getting stuck on that rim.

And it's working quite well with some stuff stacked on top of it! And a lot more stable than my previous corner design :)

If we're 3D-printing with filament anyway, why not add a few wires for strength? They cost barely any plastic!

Working on my second attempt at a low-plastic stacking solution for the cheap "non-stackable" NOJIG bins from IKEA. This time it's a net that hooks over the edges of the bin. Hoping it's a bit more stable than my previous corner support solution.

Wat gek, dat DigiD de status van mijn niet-bestaande rijbewijs niet op kan halen.

Ah, I see that Lidl has also worked out the loophole

Guess we know which outlets do actual journalism and which outlets just post vendor press releases

Just found some old pictures, including a picture of the place I used to live, with a shitty landlord who never fixed anything until the city started threatening him with fines.

Can you tell where I blocked Alibaba Cloud from my Forgejo instance and cleared out its archive cache?
