  • You wrote “it determines your tax bracket” inferring you’d be in a single bracket and this is an extremely common misconception with how our tax system works. Furthermore, your income is only part of the equation since your tax rate is also affected by deductions, exemptions, and credits making two people making the exact same income can be taxed at different rates.

    This isn’t how tax brackets work. Say we have 5%, 10%, and 15% in a system similar to the US with completely made up numbers. Say you make $99k, your first $33k will be taxed at 5% ($1650), your second $33k at 10%($3300), and your last $33k taxed at 15%($4950) totalling $9900. 9900/99000= a 10% effective tax rate. The real system is more complicated, but this is what it boils down to.






  • You’ll probably want to strip the whole hotend apart and see what the deal is. Without a nozzle, you should be able to just push the filament through by hand (after loosening the tension arm). I wonder if your PTFE tube is bad. Not sure how your extruder is setup, by my direct drive Volcano clone’s filament path is extruder gear > plastic filament guide > PTFE tube > heat break > nozzle. One of those things is bad. Tear it apart and inspect each part for damage and ensure you can easily feed filament through each part.
