Thank you! I’m going to look into it. Also, for what it’s worth, I didn’t realize I was responding to a month old post until after the fact. So thank you for responding even though I probably seemed like some bot trying to build history. I assure you I am not, and I am writing this on my real phone using my human fingers, while breathing oxygen, since I am a biological creature, fellow human. Beep boop. 🤖

What game was it? That sounds like it could be interesting.

Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.

I use “Focus Plant: Pomodoro timer” on Android, but there is an iPhone version too. It’s free, with ads, but there is a subscription that removes them. I can only speak to how it works on Android, but in addition to blocking other apps (or at least adding a barrier to get to them) it gamifies things by letting you earn “raindrops” for focusing. Those are used to water little plant monsters, which there are a ton of. You can set a specific timer, regular or pomodoro, or just a count up, and it will show you a little icon for other people who are also currently focusing, which is kind of nice. It’s a bit silly, but the added layers of game and very light social aspect add a little that help me personally. It’s very usable with ads if you want to try it without committing money. I personally subscribe because it makes some of the game bits (sort of loot crates) more fun, but that’s definitely optional. (Good grief this sounds like I’m astroturfing for the company. I’m not, I just tried a bunch of other apps too, and this one has a combination of features that helped my dumpster fire of a brain.)

This looks interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ve played around a bit in Tinkercad (too limited) and Fusion 360 (complicated) but haven’t found something that feels right yet. I bookmarked this to follow what you find!

TPU is tricky. Did you tune All The Things for it, separate things PLU settings? Off the top of my head I use 230 nozzle, 40 bed temperature (instead of ~200/60) and the retraction settings are different. I think the base speed had to be tuned too. Even then, my prints don’t turn out as smooth as id prefer. The balance of walls and infill numbers can be a dance.
