@ArcaneSlime@Showroom7561 Costco is often the cheapest pharmacy in the area. I have biked to my local Costco several times for lightweight pickups, including prescriptions.
Fortunately, it is not the only business there, and there actually are usable bike racks.
@fedops@mibzman If you want to grab this purchase-advice reddit post before the walkout for later reading (or come back to it on Thursday), it isn't bad at all, even if OP's hate-on for Creality is overwrought. (It's also not completely insane, but.)
@fedops@mibzman PHA is _pretty interesting_. More heat tolerance even than HTPLAs, but definitely also more flexible at all temperatures, which can be a plus or a minus - it's kind of like a less-flexible but more-durable nylon, I think? I haven't worked with nylon but from descriptions.
It also really wants a 0.6mm nozzle, though I have found - and this is what I did for these temperature towers - that the non-wood-infill PHAs can be consistently successfully printed with a 0.5mm nozzle, if the model is sliced for 0.4mm.
Also: Sure! I'd expect the pictures to work on actual Mastodon. But they didn't make it to Lemmy replies. Don't know if Lemmy even supports pictures in replies locally tho xD
@mibzman Mostly temperature towers, honestly. I've been playing with PHA, so I printed temperature towers for two new colours of that, and also I subscribe to the protopasta "endless filament" programme (at 150g/month, supersized samples really but I like it) and those showed up so needed one for each of them.
I _really_ like the bottle colours they sent out this month, particularly the blue. Just gorgeous.
@artyom @silence7 i went to the next town over for groceries because that grocery has stuff the closer ones don't
(this is on a cargo trailer I built but a proper cargo bike would have... better capability, actually)

@fmstrat @Etnaphele Definitely not. I've never heard that anywhere, I don't think.

@fedops @mibzman Oh, it does! But ones from Mastodon don't make it, alas. (Maybe because I posted two pictures? idk)
