    Question about finding quantom numbers N_(n) for Schrodinger Eqn in 3D

    I'm using the Modern Physics by Tipler (6th edition) book. In sec 7.1 it talks about the first excited state being either E_(112 ) E_(121 ) E_(112). My question is what is the process of finding the n_(1),n_(2),n_(3) quantum numbers ? How i understand you pick random values and from their find...

    3d printing with Polylactic acid, adhesion to print bed

    I recently built a 3d printer that extrudes PLA or Polylactic acid for the material. When printing on a glass bed the pla drags behind the extruder because it won't stick to the glass. On the other hand printing on a sheet of acrylic the PLA sticks so well that it is difficult to remove after...
