Qidi 'engineering' strikes again. How on _earth_ do you get a leak like that with an integrated nozzle-heatbreak combo? Keep in mind, this is the original stock hotend assembly.

Again, a fantastic video by Igor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C2W7KbyRfU

Two things _really_ stood out for me:

1. 'PC-CF' is a very generic, and not very informative, label. The behaviour of the eight different tested materials was in some cases _nothing_ alike. TDSes matter!
2. Warm creep was as bad as _12%_ with some of these materials, after only about 5 hours, at < 60C temps. PC-CFs all have much higher Tg and HDT. Keep that in mind next time you print mods for your enclosed printer!

@Jamie :h2dlaser: :h2c: In general, I like what I've seen of 3.6. My only concern (not necessarily complaint) is that all the 'on hold' triggering abilities feel a bit contrived. Given how objective-focused OPR is, mobility is king, and incentivizing standing still by turning your abilities off feels like it lacks finesse.

I'm happy to be shown as wrong, but it feels like an outright nerf to some armies, which IMO don't deserve it.

@Jamie :h2dlaser: :h2c: Current-day 40K is a level of lameness I never expected it to reach. I've been playing 40K since early 3rd edition (turn-ish of the millenium), and while many of its issues were apparent even to 12-year-old me, everything has gotten so much shittier since then, it's actually kind of remarkable.

@Jamie :h2dlaser: :h2c: Also FWIW, GW have basically made it both mechanically _and_ practically disadvantageous to make your minis unique. Light of sight is based on 3D footprint, which means things like cool banners and decorations are a mechanical downside, so nobody does them. Furthermore, because 'special' characters aren't opponent's-permission anymore, if you're not playing a named faction, you're giving up power.

And of course, the minis are now _anti_-modular to boot. The goal is MtGification.
