Kids setting up an ice cream stall - are they allowed?

One of my kids wants to raise some money by reselling ice creams out the front of the house.

They figure that they can get me (no surprise!) to roll a freezer to the front gate, they can sit there and sell to passing dog walkers, etc.

Are they allowed? Are they going to get shut down by the council/police/no idea what?
I just have those words of ‘!not to be sold separately’ in my head but my kid says that this is just what the school pta does so what’s the difference.

I feel like their enterprise should be supported but figure that someone has probably got an issue with it.

A duck with no head!

Hi.

This is a remix of this duck:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:139894#google_vignette

Bambu P1S with 0.4mm nozzle.

Used bambu studio

Standard flow, default speeds and temperature.

I resized and dropped a hole through it to make a woggle for my daughter.

Print one in Blue came out great. As I wasn't sure on size I actually had no infill just to do a quick spec check. It came out solid enough that I decided any others should be fine the same.

Size was approved but the tail was annoying so I clipped that off and also there was a request for the beak to be a different colour.

So print #2 was orange with the green beak. Came back to it 'finished' with a spaghetti head. I accidently had an infill in there.

I wasn't sure if it was the infill or possibly an issue with one of the rolls of filament so I did print number three in red and white.

I caught it shortly after it was moved out of place. Slightly taller this time.

I know the bed is clean.

The contact area to the bed is relatively small and I'm wondering if the filament changeover is just breaking the flow of printing that it then shifts loose.

Should I just add a wide brim? Is that likely to be sufficient as the blue was fine? We want to plan a bed full for others in her group too - I'm assuming there is no simple way to link brims to brace off each other without filling the whole bed?

Should I go for supports? It previews as showing a slight perimeter around the duck and then another up to the beak. It's a shame to have it go to the beak where it wasn't needed before but if it means a head would appear....

Would interlocking beams help for the beak transition? (not something I've used before but something I just saw browisng settings.)

Are loops just earplugs with an interesting shape?

Right, so I’m expecting that to be a bit of a rage bait title.

I’m genuinely interested in Loops but trying to understand them more.

My wife had a pair of quiets delivered yesterday and they look to me to be just a silicone ear tip on a plastic body that’s a non-conventional shape.

What makes them different to the reusable earplugs I have for machine work please?

I tried them in for a minute and they feel just like my reusable earplugs.

If they work, that’s great. I’m not trying to put anyone down for liking them, just trying to understand them more and don’t want to be spending out on something that I essentially already have.

How to cope with spaghetti on this turbine!

Hi.

I've had a couple of attempts at printing the main turbine section from here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwspLw7QWqY

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6140155

As you can see, it decides to lose adhesion then there's the inevitable spaghetti of air printing. I tweaked nothing for the second attempt and it got further along before losing it.

Printer is a Bambu P1S,all standard as came from the factory. It's quite a few prints in now.

0.4 nozzle.

Printing in PLA for now.

Supports are enabled but only end up running through the centre, not out to the blades.

A thought I had was to slower the speed down of the outer walls as presumably that's what's skipping - currently sat at 60mm/s.

Small perimeters - is that one of these scenarios? Speed drops by 50%??

Thanks for any help. I haven't got into any settings tweaking at all yet for any print so fairly unsure what to play with.

UK - Stainless Catering kit

I’ve got a number of units that are for the pile from catering establishments. There’s no value in trying to resale as is so looking to scrap.

I’ve been trying to work out if there’s any sense in breaking them down and flat packing, other than space saving!

Lots of square tube and flat sheets.

If I take off the clearly non stainless parts is there any more benefit? Not something I’ve ever dealt with before.

What to do with leftover lengths of filament?

Had a print finish with a little left poking into the ams. When I’ve pulled it out it’s quite a bit left.

I’m assuming it’s for the scrap pile or should I be doing something else with it?
