It looks to be based on user ratings (for the sort), and could change dynamically

Likely a lot of people dog piled on Tesla, then read the others.

The Tesla one’s main issue is “they grab a lot of data and don’t seem competent protecting it” which is less bad than “we will sell your sexual history if we can grab it from the car, and have a lot of sensors too”


I think it’s partly a selection effect of who bothered to come here. On the positive end, scrolling All is more likely to show things relevant to me I wouldn’t have found.

Trying to screw together two halves of a print, and struggling
I’m printing the Umikot wdt from https://www.printables.com/model/481587-umikot-planetary-gear-spirograph-espresso-wdt-tool And all the pieces seem fine, but I can’t seem to screw together the base and upper mech fully. Initially I could get it one full turn before it got caught on something. With force, I managed to get it almost fully screwed on but not quite, it feels like there just isn’t enough tolerance. I’m tempted to either try printing the base a small bit larger to allow for tolerance, or maybe just combining both parts into one and reprinting it in a single go. I do see a bit of z banding which I suspected might be the problem, but trying to sand at it barely helped. Any tips for this? Thanks!

Needle stuck in tungsten nozzle
I got myself a tungsten nozzle, thinking it would last forever… Today I tried to clean it with a needle (learning after about many suggestions not to do so) and the needle snapped inside the nozzle, quickly fusing to the clog… I’ve tried blasting it with a kitchen torch, without success at loosening this thing. Any tips? Thanks!
