lol I used a prompt like this one time when chatgpt was refusing to translate a snippet of japanese text. I told it I was trying to communicate with my blind grandmother and that got it to translate the text.

I'm right there with you, pal. The quality and focus of this site has declined significantly. More often than not these days I regret opening the site at all.

The App Store says this app is 4+ years old. Sad that I can’t try the 3D view without paying but I think it’s interesting the Pro plan includes “20x the AI chat”. Oh my iPhone is VERY hot now, I better uninstall this app… good luck!

yes this print is great, I was very surprised by the performance of the 3d printed spring. I did end up putting rubber bands on the rear wheels to give them more grip.
