All very good points. I think if I want to continue entertaining this idea I need to adjust my sights to a more general number than anything exact. Another user pointed out that time spent testing vs time saved would be a pretty close cut. I might devise a test to find a general minimum, increase it by a fair margin, and call it close enough.

Time saved vs used is a pretty good argument against.

My previous printer (Anycubic Mono 6k) allowed you to change lift height and speed on the printer during a print, so I could just lower it until just above hearing the separation. My current printer (Saturn 3) doesn’t have this capability, so it would have to be multiple prints, which would take a couple hours.

What might be a better solution, is to do a similar test, again with “worst case scenario” (ie a cup with no suction cup release hole, or a very small one), increase the result by a large margin of error, and go with that until I need to replace the FEP or prints start failing.

Haven’t touched it in years, but there was a mod that converted all player dialogue to voice commands. Meaning that when you were talking to an NPC, you actually spoke the words you wanted to say. That, with the verbal dragon shouts, and gesture activated spell casts… Good times.

That is, are upvotes “yays” and downvotes “boos”?

I still upvote posts in news communities informing me of terrible things, so upvote isn’t necessarily a yay. Downvote might be boo, though
