@Nudhul @lain @Sophistifunk the reason we use plastic is because an barrel of oil can only produce so much gasoline, diesel, etc. Plastic is a byproduct that we found a use for, but since we use oil for other things, it doesn't make sense to NOT use plastic.

this is also why Asphalt is made of oil byproducts as well. It's basically a form of recycling.

@Terry it worked when they destroyed hospitals, schools, and refugee camps, so why would commercial airliners be different?

@Mr_Mister It looks like they are only upscaling the graphics, which is a shame. The gameplay was very clunky and didn't hold up well even for its time. I would have loved a remake rather than a simply graphical upgrade, but I get that they didn't want to take expensive risks on such an old franchise.

@SlicerDicer I just use a cheap <$200 printer. If my thermistor broke I would probably just buy a whole new one as an upgrade because FDM printers have come a long way in the last few years, but I don't want to buy a new printer while the one I have works fine.

I just recognized the flaws in the print as being indicative of the temp being low. I'm not much of a printer hobbyist. I just print stuff for tabletop RPGs and games.

@SlicerDicer good to hear that it's working. The only other thing you can do if raising the temp doesn't work is to slow down the print.
