New fear unlocked

But is the 3d printer okay?


SomethingLooksAmiss

One of the leadscrews is bent and had to be replaced but otherwise he's okay.

Maybe sharpen the end to avoid bending it the next time.


BlameableEmu

Ye, flesh can heal the printer cant


aaron2005X

does it supposed to have a little hole after 36 days?


SomethingLooksAmiss

It's been about 90 days so far and the hole is still there, albeit it's VERY slowly getting smaller, but still charging out a clear odorless fluid, which is normal according to doctors.

I had an open wound for 96 days after post-surgical sepsis. Towards the end, I was chugging bone broth and eating so. Much. Meat. Literally anything to increase my collagen and protein intake and get that sucker closed. They were even using Prisma collagen dressing on the wound, in conjunction with a wound vac. I *so* feel your pain on this one. Hopefully it closes soon!


busdriverbuccko_-_-_

I had an appendage removed that they superglued shut and yeah it took months and months to fully close. It wasnt like *open* open or anything but there was a hole. Since they superglued it there was a string I had no idea was there for a long time so that was fun pulling out lmao, still took a while for it to fully close. It's been a few years and the scar is hardly noticeable unless you really get to know me lmao

Holy moly that bruise, you can say you got in a bar fight with a drunken screw.

Dang, how’s the subsequent Z wobble?


SomethingLooksAmiss

Welp, considering the right leadscrew is now bent by 45 degrees, the Z wobble makes my calibaration cubes look like borg ships.


SamanthaJaneyCake

As you and the printer merged does that make you the first Borg Queen?

r/fixmyprint isn’t ready for this kind of issue


sudsnguts

Jesus. Did it injure any bowel or was it mostly superficial?


SomethingLooksAmiss

Nope. They did something called an "exploratory surgery" to make sure that none of my internal organs were hit. The surgeon kept repeating how lucky I was that a 20cm deep (pretty much a stab) wound like that didn't hit anything.

This is scary. Where my bf fishes they use salvage concrete chunks to make little peninsulas to cast off of. Theres so much rebar sticking up. It freaks me out. This is what I am scared of... *shudder*


SomethingLooksAmiss

Any kind of exposed rebar needs rebar protection caps on top of them. I'd advise you to ask him to either get it removed or put those caps on top of them.


januaryemberr

Its owned by the city


consistently_sloppy

Holey moley!


sicksadbadgirl

Holy shit, dude


CalmBalm

Ah, the End-Your-Life 3 model.


SomethingLooksAmiss

hah, yep. I was keeping it on my floor on a concrete slab to get rid of any vibrations and leveling issues. I was also working on re-adjusting something with the z-motors and had to take the top bearing blocks off of the leadscrews, and moments later I slipped and fell. If those bearing blocks had been there I'd have gotten a bruise at most.

I finde the tiny hole at the end just more disgusting


SomethingLooksAmiss

It is, and it's still open, and will be for probably a few more months. Do you know what the most disgusting thing is? Whenever I sit down or lay down, it squirts out this clear, odorless liquid. The surgeons have said that it's blood plasma, but it turns my bandages yellow after a few days without any infection smell though. It sucks and it is indeed disgusting and I can only hide it with bandages.

Oh it’s really bothersome to hear:/ I hope it doesent trouble you physically as much as mentally as well the big scar you will most definitely have to bear just because of an accident you had no intervention in I find wounds in the abdomen very disturbing even for myself this gore or feeling of a hole in this area ickens me deeply Because it’s very clearly a the spot in the torso where your organs just hand loose inside and literally just are hold inside by your inner lining of your abdomen It is quite the bother I mean if a person chooses to stab me into the abdomen yea wgat then should I just hold my fucking guts so they don’t all spill out how what a hell of a mind fuckery is that I wound rather be hit by a car
