Hi.
I've recently replaced my last generic/blank FEP sheet with the pre-cut ones made by Voxelabs for the Proxima 6.0 ( Voxelab FEP Film 10PCS for Voxelab Proxima 6.0 and Polaris LCD 3D Printer : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science ) and have been unable to get a single successful print since. Either only the supports print or everything pancakes.
These FEP sheets with the re-made holes seemed an easy install, but the troubleshooting is driving me nuts.
Spectroid app says the tension is ~35-40Hz, which is about the same as I usually aim for. No changes with resin / slicer settings / models / temperature either. In trying to fix this I've halved the lift speed from 80mm/m to 40mm/m, added a couple mm to the lift height and raised exposure from my usual 2.7 to 3.1, but barely any improvement.
(edit: burn-in layers also unchanged at 16 layers / 45 secs)
My previous FEP was a generic blank sheet that I lifted using a bottlecap spacer, then screwed into place.
I could order some more generic FEPs, and if nothing works I guess I'll have to, but I'd really like to make these Voxelabs ones work to avoid having wasted my money. Hence my hoping there is something obvious that I am missing that someone who's used these FEPs can point out.

I'm a manual labour worker who is essentially a Luddite with computers and especially anything finance.
Been working full time since 2005 with an average income of 95k. Super is at 200k-ish. How do I know if my fund is performing well? I'm mid 30s, is this a good amount to have at this point in your life to lead a modest lifestyle at retirement.
I know retirement amounts are arbitrary dependiing on the person but I feel like potentially my balance is lower than it should be.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/05/31/is-housing-market-going-to-crash/70260153007/
There is little debate that the U.S. housing market is cooling down after home values rose at a frenzied pace during the pandemic. For the first time in 131 months, home prices fell year-over-year in February, ending the longest price growth streak.
The median existing-home sales price in April slipped 1.7% from one year ago to $388,800.
Meanwhile, elevated mortgage rates − which have doubled since early last year − have constrained homebuyers’ purchasing power. Instability in the banking sector, headlines about layoffs, and growing recession risks are also causing prospective homebuyers to hold back. So, does this mean a housing crash could be on the horizon? Housing experts don’t believe that to be the case.
“Despite uncertainty in the economy and the housing market right now, there is little to suggest that the housing market is poised for a crash,” says Bright MLS Chief Economist Lisa Sturtevant. “For a plunge in home prices—like we saw in 2008, for example—we would need demand to pull back dramatically and/or supply to increase significantly.”
While housing prices have dropped slightly year-over-year since February, a lack of inventory and a strong jobs market have contributed to stubbornly high home prices despite much higher mortgage rates.
"The housing market cannot compare to last year’s intense spring home buying market,” says Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research. “However, there is strong demand for housing. In the last month one-third of homes sold above the listed price and the typical home received three offers."
Properties typically remained on the market for 22 days in April, down from 29 days in March but up from 17 days in April 2022. Seventy-three percent of homes sold in April were on the market for less than a month, according to NAR.
Inventory in the first quarter averaged 1,630,000 listings at any given time, down 40% from the first quarter of 2019, a year before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the National Association of Realtors.
There has been limited supply as 85% of mortgage holders are locked in to sub-5% mortgage interest rates, which discourages current homeowners from selling their home and buying another at today’s elevated interest rates.
Total housing inventory registered at the end of April was 1.04 million units, up 7% from March and 1% from one year ago (1.03 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 2.9 month supply at the current sales pace, up from 2.6 months in March and 2.2 months in April 2022, according to the National Association of Realtors.
If there were significant job losses, we could see an increase in the number of people unable to make their mortgage payments and who would therefore have to list their homes for sale, says Sturtevant. “However, right now, even if we do head into a recession later this year, the labor market is still extremely tight and major job losses still seem unlikely,” Sturtevant says.
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in May rose five points to 50, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released in May. This marks the fifth straight month that builder confidence has increased and is the first time that sentiment levels have reached the midpoint mark of 50 since July 2022. Scores over 50 indicate that builders view market conditions as “good” rather than “fair” or “poor.” The inventory of new houses for sale at the end of April stood at 433,000, which represents a supply of 7.6 months at the current sales rate.
The median sales price of new single-family homes in April declined to $420,800 from a median price of $455,800 in March. The median home price in April of 2022 was $458,200.
"New home prices have adjusted lower due to higher interest rates, despite a post-covid 38% increase for construction costs," says National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "New home prices were down 8% year-over-year in April. That will likely be the end of that price adjustment."

Have a bit of a problem here. My Family are going on Holidays on the 15th of June, and my sons passport has been sent of to be renewed but has a date of return on the 22nd of June. He has the Junior Cert Wednesday and Monday is a bank holiday and I am working on Tuesday (Sorry this might be confusing). Simply, im looking for help/advice on what i can do. I am located in Galway.

I work in a creative field and actually made quite a large salary doing what I'm good at. However I was miserable, stressed and burned out all the time and quit. I took a small break and I'm now back on the job hunt, but honestly as I look at the options back in my previous field I dont want to do it again, even though its what I'm good at. I'd rather do a pretty normal, average paying job and then come home and use my creative skills for my own fulfillment.
Problem is, I frankly don't know how to do anything else. I dont have any work to show outside of my existing specialty. According to some peers my portfolio for my particular skill is stacked, but outside of it I got literally nothing lol. Do I spend time trying to build a new portfolio in some other field? Do I go back to school for a different major (which...I really would rather not spend the time and money)? Do I take a super low paying job and just wade through it til I can climb again? I just want a job that pays maybe 60-70k a year and takes minimal brain cells from me so I can go home and not have work follow me too much.

My baby is 15 weeks this Wednesday and is teething. I know this is unusually young but I am 100% convinced. He has what looks like could be capping on his left lower canine (again, I know, unusual not to be a central incisor first) or an Epstein’s Pearl as well swollen gums. It actually looks like his right lower canine and one of the lower incisors could be coming through too. He is drooling, blowing bubbles and raspberries, biting and chewing on everything he can get his hands on. He at times seems very uncomfortable and will clutch his face/ears, become irritable and difficult to soothe. He has occasionally had flushed cheeks and slightly elevated temperature. He isn’t sleeping as well as he was and is slightly off his food. All in all, I know it’s super early and unusual to cut canines first but it’s definitely teething.
All of this is to say: if you have any early teething stories please validate me so I don’t feel like I’m going insane! And I need your very best tips to help him. He was a small baby and at 3.5 months the majority of the teething toys I’ve bought him are too large to fit in his mouth 😞 for example he has a Sophie teething ring (part of it is a gel bar you can cool in the fridge) but it’s just too thick to fit in his mouth. We also have the full size Sophie & a matchstick monkey - also too big. He is too young for medicated gels like Anbesol and Bonjela which are 6 months+.
Teething wipes seem to help briefly as does Calpol. He also likes chewing on his cuddle cloth and muslins. There must be something else we can try?

Hi guys,
I’m writing this on behalf of my cousin cuz he’s too scared to ever question anything.
Anyways, he’s about to start a new job as a USPS driver on June 17th but he thinks that asking off for thanksgiving will be too soon.
I told him I think it’s crazy to expect a job that gives you 12 days off vacation a year to not allow you to ask for anything in the first six months. I also suspect he just doesn’t want to go to thanksgiving but that’s beside the point and might just be my own speculation.
Anyways, do y’all think a driver hired in June could get away with asking for a few days off around thanksgiving? Thanks in advance!

Like, I usually take longer than other people to get stuff into my brain, but once it's there I can recall them with little to no efforts, even after months.
For example, I need around a week to remember a rather short passage the average person can probably memorize in a day or two, but I can remember the passage, even months afterwards, word for word if I read it once or twice beforehand.
Anyone else do that?

Thought it would be interesting to start a discussion on what people think are the pros and cons with the current Everton Squad. Not including the board because that's just one big con.
And after all what is Everton but balled up optimism and pessimism, bouching all over the place, leaving a mess wherever it's been.
So let's start with the Defence
Pro: When it comes to goals conceded, Everton were 13th, had we conceded 5 less we would have been 10th, putting us at average to just below average (it's depressing when that is a pro) although who knows how much of that was down to Pickford
Con: Losing both Mina and Coady. Not for their defensive contributions Mina barely played (and although he was influential in the last 4 games, he wasn't throughout the majority of the season) and Coady couldn't jump over a matchstick. But for their personalities in the dressing rooms both were massive characters.
Concern: All eggs in the Braithwaite basket, I really hope he does well when he comes back, we'll enough to be our starter, but he has come back from a weaker league, and if it doesn't work out, who is taking his place as it stands? Most likely Keane
Now onto the Midfield
Pro: arguably our strongest position with the most depth as well, Doucoure, Onana, Garner, Gana and Iwobi are on paper fairly solid for mid table but...
Con: Scoring goals, excluding Doucoure, the other 4 scored 3 goals over the course of the season. I'm not belittling them because of this, we have all known Gana isn't a goal scorers. But we need player who can chip in with a goal every now and then. Even Doucoure before the last 4 games only managed 2 goals. Had each of Iwobi, Gana, Onana and Garner scored just 2 goals each this season we would have finished with 5 extra goals.
Speaking of goals onto the forwards
Pro: Dwight Mcneil's resurgence under Sean Dyche. Not too much to say, bit apart from Pickford he was probably our best player under Dyche and finished with 7 goals, which for where we are right now, is good for a winger.
Con: Everything else, DCL not staying fit, lack of goals again, our 3 centre forwards combined with a massive 4 goals in the League last season. Let's be honest this is by far and away our weakest part of the field and the main reason (on the pitch) we were where we were.
Obviously there is much more to talk about (such as our lack of depth and injury conerns in the wing back positions) but this post is long enough already. So what are your opinions.

As the moderation team of /MetricMasterRace, we have concerns about recent changes to Reddit.
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem for users: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
Accordingly, the moderation team of /MetricMasterRace is declaring its opposition to this API pricing change, and will be shutting down the subreddit in solidarity for 48 hours on June 12th through the 14th.
