        It’s always good to join 3dprinting@lemmy.world but the best resource is Youtube. There are a lot of different creators that talk about different parts of the process. From which machine to choose, to calibrating it for the first time.

        The “getting into” part of 3d printing is buying the machine the rest of the time is you trouble shooting wtf is going wrong lol so there isn’t one specific place.

    I study biochem/microbiology. Recently there’s been a new(?) discovery about photoresperation actually being benificial to the plant. Photo respiration is when photosynthesis accidentally happens to an oxygen which creates toxic molecules and was always thought of as wasteful. Billions of dollars have been spent to ‘solve’ this problem when, unsurprisingly, billions of years of evolution have solved it already.

    IMO it’s why plants don’t do as well as we expect with high CO² concentrations (iirc)… the paper is behind a pay wall though, so I haven’t read the whole thing yet but the mechanism has unfortunately been called the Bloom Cycle and is set to confuse countless undergrads in the future.

        Well, shit, there’s 2 of us. I believe we’re now contractually obligated to form mutually exclusive model railroading communities here. ;)

            Sign me up. It’s been a few years, but I still have a few modules of my N scale teenage budget build in the basement. Now I actually have the budget for model railroading, but I no longer have the time. My favorite stretch of rail is the Spessartrampe in Germany. It’s one of the older stretches in Germany and until recently, they were still using a helper engine to push freight up the grade because it exceeded the maximum load on the couplers. Such an interesting operation!

    reading literature, history, and academic stuff. I have been reading several books about the creation of the MFA programs in the USA, for example. i also like studying languages and have studied 7. i also dig fountain pens and fancy pencils and stationary, makes writing and note taking a very enjoyable experience.

    Mountain biking/cycling. I also do advocacy and education and trail building for this and have CPR/first aid wilderness certs I have to re-up every couple of years. hiking and camping too.

    I also am into gaming, cooking, and DIY projects but that is touch and go depending on the season or other stuff going on. i mostly only game when it’s winter or I’m injured/sick. I also love training my pets. My dog and I have done several training programs and my cat is basically a well-trained dog.

    usually people think at least one of my hobbies is some social faux pas when they find out about it.
