Working on a Masterpoint and 10 hours into the print I had a power outage. Tried to restart the print at work and checked on it only to see a major layer shift. Figured I’d have to reprint it anyways, but still sucks.

I was thinking of a tea light heaters you can make using a tea light candle with a terracotta pot over it, not a lamp like a dummy. Definitely think your idea would work pretty good

Man with people today I try to be as descriptive as possible.
Had a dude in his early 20s work under/with me once. He said Tap... you ever find and rattle snakes....
"All the time my dude" Tap...
What do you do with them? I said you got to stomp it really fast so it dosent bite ya.
MONTHS later he's on a job deep in diamond back territory and he's flipping half rotted wood pallets looking for rattlers.
"Hey....."let's call him White Chedder because that's what we did actually call him. It's his rap name.
"Whatcha doing"
"TAP told me how to find rattle snakes" Chedder....
"Chedder...what were you going to do if you found one?" Management....
"Stomp it real quick to kill it" Chedder....
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT" Everyone...
"I want a rattle snake tail and Tap won't give me one"
......"Tap said if I'm real quick the snake cant bite me then i can get my own."
"You were going to stomp a rattler if you found it for it's tail?" .... "and you thought that wad a good idea? Management...
So here I am, in HR in shock. I was AMAZED he remembered my instructions to the T months later.
"You think I told the kid to get himself bit be realistic" Tap... denying his ass off.
Didn't get in trouble, told not to do it again tho. Like I'd ever be able to do THAT again.

That’s an amazing story, and as a guy in his early 20s, I could totally see myself in his shoes 😂

Yes exactly. Will the printer even restart automatically after power comes back on? I thought it preheat then pauses at that temp.
