I am working with a module that was written for 5e but we are playing 5.5e.

Many of the baddies are the same or similar between the 2 systems.

I got to thinking about balance, I know 5.5 can potentially do a lot more damage. I can mitigate this some with more baddies, more hp, legendary actions, etc.

What do other think about giving intelligent baddies weapon mastery skills? In theory an elite opponent would have been training as long as or longer than a player. They should have a similar skillset.

I have been looking for a vertical filament box set up that keeps the vents on the side of the printer free since I got this printer. I decided to buy the design from CC3D Projects because I didn’t want to have to modify an existing design. I didn't want to pay for a design but decided that doing so would be worth not having to modify free designs.
I was wrong.

Had I not paid 28 Euros for it, I would not be making this post. 
This design is not, in my opinion, worth the money. 

Problems:

1. Screw locations. The designer has decided to place the screws inside the body of the holder. This makes for cleaner lines on the outside but assembly is a pain in the ass. Furthermore, the designer has opted to install the screws directly into the plastic instead of installing threaded inserts or nuts. I understand this leads to a cleaner look, but threading into plastic is inherently weak, especially if using the recommended 2 walls. The best way for assembly would have been from the outside in with nuts or threaded inserts. It would have messed up the outside appearance but assembly would be easier and by using nuts and bolts you would eliminate the weakness of threading into plastic.

2. Spool holders. These needed to be modified in order to fit better. The original design has them quite tight. My concern is breaking the inside holder (2 walls remember) trying to swap filament. I don’t know how often others swap filaments but I do nearly every time I print. Sooner rather than later these will break. An improved solution is a slightly looser fit. Not enough for them to pop out during printing but enough where they can be easily removed. A better solution would be something with bearings and a rod that sit in U, like the standard A-frame holders. I am somewhat concerned about friction between the plastic and the spool rolls. A rod with bearings would eliminate most problems caused by friction. I still need to model these. 

3. The hinges. These are plastic on plastic hinges. Over time and use these will not perform as well as a rod with bearings. If this is opened once in a while then plastic on plastic may be ok, but if this is expected to be used daily for years, a more robust system should be used. 

4. The overall height. If you don’t print the bottom piece that connects to the drier, it still sits lower than the printer. It seems clear to me this is intentional. It causes one to need to purchase the drawer that goes under the box. Or, as I did, put stuff under the printer to raise it up. Looking closer at the box, it looks like the lower unit could be modified to fit so raising the printer is not necessary. Not everyone will buy the polybox heaters. Many of us have other driers and don’t need those.

5. The desiccant boxes need rework. This is a part that will have to be removed often, a slide design for the top cover is easier to remove, prints better as it will be flat, and doesn’t require supports.

   

Frankly for the amount I spent, $32 USD (28 euro) I shouldn’t have to mess with the design, it should be complete. I found a similar version of this for free on thingy. It too would have required modification but at least the design itself wouldn’t have cost me anything.  

I have been trying to get an idea on this and the anti- coagulation clinic doesn't have an answer.

How quickly does vitamin K i get from things like spinach enter my system to affect my INR?

I need a better set up for dry boxes for filament than I currently have. I want something attached to the sides but I am concerned about blocking the vents. I have seen some people add a fan to 1 side to help cool the steppers but some of the boxes I am finding cover these holes.

Has anyone found a box like the link below that allows for keeping the filament dry and good airflow for machine cooling?

Just over a year ago I had a mechanical installed. Been a heck of a year but over all SOOOOOO much better.
