Always makes me think of a 4th dimensional wine decanter.

How would getting drunk in 4D feel like?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Depends on which dimension is the 4th. Is it time? Is it 4th spatial dimension? Is it aliens?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

According to some 4D theaters I have been to, it's mostly air and water

Does that make earth and fire the 5D experience?

Can you share the stl file?

You post something in a smaller community and then don't want to have discussions or fun times?

I'm sorry if I got your intentions wrong, but this just looks like you're being an asshole for absolutely no reason.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Also, there are lots of KB stls out there. OP printed this one, and thought it was good enough to share (and I agree). So, it's useful to know which particular one they used. And, if it's not their stl, then linking is a way of giving credit to the stl author too. One more point: any issues or adjustments they made, for that particular stl, are useful to know (like they posted below, finally).

I see the OP did update with the stl below. But I wanted to post here to say it's just good manners to add a reference for the specific stl of a print that was good enough to share.

Asshole? Maybe... No reason... Well even in reddit, the First Thing people always askin is "where did you got the stl" and i am being honestly sick of people askin where to find the stl when everybody knows sites like thangs, printables and at least THINGIVERSE! And Yeah you find the exact Same Model on all those sites when you type in "Klein Bottle" some of them in the picture.

Nope, i obviously have a reason and i am allowed to be sick of people who dont even try to type three words.

Maybe there is a nicer way to teach people that. And yeah maybe i need to learn that (in a harsh way) too. But if somebody is capable of using something like a 3D printer (which is kinda hard imho), i expect them to Know at least how to search.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps but if you are doing a show and tell, why not do the full tell?

I can remember when Google didn't exist and Altavista was the cool kid, or when the www didn't exist and gopher and WAIS were the tools of choice. ... and I can go much further back.

My real point is: If you are going to show a bit of ankle, and it is yours, make sure that everyone realises it is your ankle. If it isn't your ankle, then tell us whose it is. It's not fair asking people to search for pictures of ankles and then try to guess which one you have posted about.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Altavista was the cool kid Tell me you are old without telling me your age xD

But back to topic. Yeah i get your point, even if I still think "But yeah we have 2023 and not floppy disks anymore..." and maybe i overreacted a lil bit about the question with a salty link reply...

In the end i think you're right the World is full enough of shitty people, next time i try to reply a bit nice even if I am pissed off that it happened the 265916th time (i cannot promise But i will try ;))

So for everybody who read the discussion Till here:

https://thangs.com/designer/DaveMakesStuff/3d-model/Chain%20Link%20Klein%20Bottle-729957

I also recommend to print it with "two layer Support" because i had a lot of trouble that everything kept on the print bed even with really big beim setup.

Good on you mate. I have no idea why you are being downvoted when you are being the big man when called out.

I do understand your position - it is bloody annoying to have to remind people how the web works but in this case you are doing a "show and tell".

When doing something like that I think you should show all and tell all. "Here's what I did and how I did it and here's how you can do it too". That's why I went in with the rather dodgy ankle reference! Think about when you see those influencers with worryingly pneumatic lips and arses that might double as seating for a friend. They show all, really all and some make a decent living at it. Now think about what sort of response you want for one of your show and tells.

I do confess that I used to do the same as you - I blasted away at someone on The Register a fair few years ago and was called out and subsequently apologised. That was a game changer for me and I suspect for you now. That doesn't mean that you can't get riled occasionally but make sure it counts and you are in the right or at least nearly right ... OK you think you are right 8)

Cool beans!

Cheers Jon

I think the downvotes are just for the earlier comments where they didn't come off great. The turnaround post is getting positive.

And personally I loved the ankle analogy. Happy birthday!
