Anyone else having trouble sorting by “newest” on Thingiverse’s search page?

It seemed to be working fine a while back, but now the results I get for Newest are the same as those for Relevant. (Edit: Actually, it seems I can’t even select Newest, it just displays Relevant when I attempt to change it.) Tried clearing my cookies, using a different browser, etc.Very annoying, as I need to update my collection of things that I’ll never get around to printing and probably don’t need anyway. :/ http://ift.tt/224CDnQ

Whats the strongest fairly stiff material I can print with?

I’ve got some taulman 910 nylon which is very very tough. But its a bit too flexible for my needs. I’ve got some PETG as well but its not strong enough for me. Is there anything between PETG and Taulman 910 as far as flexibility but with strength on par with the nylon? http://ift.tt/1OqQsFj

What do you do that is against the norm?

What things do you do that others don’t do? Do you do anything that you know most makers would say is wrong?One thing I do. I recently got the purple glue stick after reading so much about them. I hate it. It sticks too much. It pulls my PET tape up off my bed and creates bubbles. It is easy to clean though.Previously I’ve used Scotch permanent glue sticks. I then use unscented clear hand sanitizer to clean it off. It comes up just as easy as the purple stick and water. But it’s easier to remove my print and it doesn’t pull up the tape on my bed.What’s yours? http://ift.tt/1qhiT29

One minute survey from the Marlin 3D printer firmware developers

Dear 3D printing community members, the Marlin Firmware Development team require your assistance filling the following Google Form: http://ift.tt/1X4pfz9’s a “one minute” anonymous survey were we ask you which board, Arduino IDE and Marlin version you use.You may submit multiple times for more than one printer.Thank you for your support.PS: There is a typo for the RC versions, anywhere were 1.1.1-RCx is seen it should read 1.1.0-RCx. http://ift.tt/1R0h1AT
