That made me laugh ;)

*other ai bots, ms will obviously mine anything on there.

Personally, I like sourcehut (sr.ht)

Since you wrote

> [...] is a significant limiting factor for the structural integrity of 3d printed parts

I went and checked. There is a youtube called MyTechFun[0] who does proper material testing, and being a patreon I have access to the entire table of his results. The comparison I made is tensile strength vs layer adhesion, which is the same test (basically pull until it breaks), but the sample is printed lying down or standing up. I expressed layer adhesion as a percentage of tensile strength, and sorted by this.

The best three I will show here (tensile and adhesion are in kg):

  Name, Tensile, Adhesion, Percentage
  YXPolyer Nylon[1], 63.1, 66.4, 105
  PolyMaker PLA Pro[2], 56.55, 50.6, 89
  PolyMaker CoPA[3], 66.3, 56.6, 85

While the tensile strength is higher for all (except one), it does not seem to be quite as limiting a factor as your claim makes it out to be. We can find percentages of >70% for all major filament types. But to be fair, most of them seem to cluster around 40-50%. While this is not great, given the choice of materials I think it can be worked around quite easily.

It saddens me to hear that, Paul made a lot of very interesting content if you are interested in guns, ammo and everything around it. It was also very much devoid of any politics or religion, which I deeply appreciated. This video is very much in character for him, it was so enjoyable to watch yet also filled me with more sadness than I would have expected.

His style is not for everyone, but if the topics he covers are of interest to you I very much suggest giving his channel a try, I know I learned many things from him & the team.

I just wanted to post that I can't find anything about it being forbidden, but there is actually a link in the post[1]. So basically the situation is:

Mit einer Funkanlage dürfen nur solche Nachrichten abgehört oder in vergleichbarer Weise zur Kenntnis genommen werden, die für den Betreiber der Funkanlage, für Funkamateure im Sinne des § 2 Nummer 1 des Amateurfunkgesetzes, für die Allgemeinheit oder für einen unbestimmten Personenkreis bestimmt sind.

Which in English would read something like this:

With radio equipment you are only allowed to listen to, or take note of in some other way, those messages that are addressed to the operator of the equipment, those messages that are addressed to ham radio operators in general, those messages that are addressed to the general public or for an undefined group of people.

This is of course absolutely unenforceable, untraceable and generally ridicoulus, but it is what it is. Imagine your neighbours having very loud arguments (or very loud 'horizontal discussions') in a clairaudient flat, and then telling you that you cannot listen to it. And being correct legally ;)
