1/16th of a donkey's tail less but close enough! Who needs exact and accurate miLiMEtErS anyway?

Exactly, crazy using an easy to use measuring system that can be converted in your head.

Honestly making fun of (Americans) people who can calculate fractions based on 2's and only directly count up in multiples of 3's easier then counting how many slices of pie they've had in one sitting but can't ÷/× by 10s is one of my favorite things to do, I'm so happy I got into 3d printing otherwise i wouldnt have understood metric or moreso the point of metric until alot later

I can be a bit based at times but it's really only those kind of people who would take offense to that statement so I think I'm safe 🤔

What kind of 3d printer do you have? I have an elegoo mars, I like it. I hate using anything other than metric. I work in a lab so I measure in metric, but im American so I always have to convert from gallons or lbs when I could just cut out the middle man.
