  • First layer too close as everyone has said, but I’ve also seen that effect when the flow rate is too high.

  • Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer?

  • The implication is that if you want something of quality you are going to expect to pay for that quality.

    If it’s cheap then corners were cut. Several years ago the tech was just as you described. Not perfect. I bought an ender 3 pro and it wasn’t perfect. I sank a lot of money into it to get an “acceptable” result. It sounds like you selected hard-mode and chose a Delta. I can’t imagine what you went through. I hope you’re ok.

    I recently got back into the hobby, and decided to spend more for a better quality printer. Prusa was the Cadillac back when I was toiling in Ender upgrades. What I have found is that newer printers and and slicer software have made a drastic leap forward. Things are markedly better all around.

    I chose Prusa, but it was a tough choice. I probably would have been just as happy with Bambu, but I would have paid more.

    Based on my journey I suggest you spend more for quality. Right now that’s Bambu lab and prusa. Prusa is behind, but the customer service is there. Bambu is going through some legal troubles, so that is something to consider.

    I think because it’s been a a minute since you’ve dabbled you’ll find things have improved. Maybe don’t buy a delta. The Prusa MK4s bed slinger is the fastest bed slinger. The Bambu core XY is faster and comes with an enclosure. Prusa just announced a Core XY but it wont ship for months and it has smaller in build dimensions.

    As far as budget printers go, I haven’t wasted any time looking into them. I wasn’t gonna mess around and find out this time. Maybe there is something out there that would make you happy, but I’m not going to gamble and suggest one.

  • I saw the video this morning before work. I’m in the same boat as you. Bought a MK4s about 2 months ago. Very happy with it, but I want that CORE One.

    The product page says it won’t ship until Jan ‘25, so I’m just gonna be patient and wait for stock to arrive at PrintedSolid in the US. Hopefully they’ll have some by summer. If I still want it that badly I’ll get it. Maybe the urge will pass and I’ll be content with my MK4s.

  • Shit on men. Call the conservatives nazis when it’s the Black, Asian, and Latino voters who carried this election. Repeat quotes out of context. Spread lies. That’s how we get more people on our side, right??

  • Please, For the Love Of God, Check Your Motorcycle's Bolts

    Jump

  • You can’t even trust dealer maintenance shops. I was getting prepared for a long road trip last year and decided to get down low and inspect my rear brake pads and tire pressure. A fucking bolt on my rear hub fell out. I had just taken my bike to a Honda dealer for new tires the day before. I’m never going back there and if I take my bike to some shop for service I can’t do myself, I’m gonna damn sure double check the work.

    Addendum: this was a two visit ordeal. First visit was for tires. They broke the tpms senor on the rear tire. Second visit was to get it replaced. I guess I should have taken that as an omen. Next time I’m going to bite the bullet and try to replace my own tires with spoons and a torque wrench.

    Cobb county employees came to my polling center dressed as "ghosts" during Early voting

    Jump

  • But people in the original Lemmy thread told me it was the Klan! The op, “Buttflapper” reports: “They were filming and had fake county employee badges, immediately trespassed and removed”. Surely they didn’t jump to conclusions and were wrong!

  • New open-source project transforms Android phones into ham radio transceivers

    Jump

  • More radio spectrum. Voice and data capability. Licensed HAM nerd shit. Meshtastic is relatively a narrow unlicensed spectrum with bandwidth limitations. It’s about tinkering just like Meshtastic is but with a license.

  • Android Automotive is coming to a motorbike for the first time, thanks to KTM

  • I’ve seen that it tends to affect phones with a mechanical zoom camera. Like iPhones and Galaxy's. My bike has apple car play built in, so I tend to just keep my phone in my pocket and use the cross bar controls on the left handle to navigate the menus, no need to take my hands off the bars to tap a damn screen while going over bumps.

  • The new-ish Federal Trade Commission head has been making a push to work on quite a few projects for the past couple of years. They have a very small resources and man-power compared to the war chests of multibillion dollar companies, but recently, somehow managed to bring charges against Google as a monopoly. This in my opinion is a good thing. I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I don’t like how our government seems to take the money of these companies and turn a blind eye as they do what they want in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I support her endeavors working for the interests of the majority of people and not those few with the most money.

    Ender-3 V3 Plus for cosplay props

    Jump

  • The best upgrade I made for the Ender 3 for adhesion was a PEI coated build plate. I don’t know the specs of the V2, but the brand I went with was “Wham Bam Systems” mine didn’t have a magnetic bed so I had to purchase the kit with the magnetic plate, and stainless steel PEI coated build surface. It was nice being able to pull off the plate and pop prints off of it. Be careful printing PETG on PEI it can fuse to the PEI

    If the V2 has some sort of leveling system make sure it’s working correctly or the PEI sheet isn’t really going to help. Mine did not. I had so many failures where the print head crashed into the sheet and gouged it. The Z end stop wasn’t the best. I added a BLTouch probe and flashed the firmware and it got much better.

    Ender-3 V3 Plus for cosplay props

    Jump

  • Creality is good because they brought an entry level 3d printer to market for an affordable price, and people like me got into the hobby because of that. The price point shows in the parts they use to assemble it. I’ve clocked countless hours learning how to correct failures, and upgrade the cheap parts for better, more reliable parts, add features, modify and flash firmware.

    Five and a half years ago I bought that ender 3 pro. I think it was around $250 USD. I probably spent over $300 more upgrading it and replacing parts. In retrospect I shouldn’t have cheaped out, but that’s the conclusion I came to. I no longer want to waste time fixing the printer. If I walk away and don’t print anything for weeks/months at a time I’d like to have confidence when I fire it up it’s going to work.

    I ordered a Prusa MK4S about a month ago which was the top-end hobbyist printer back then, and I am blown away by the difference. Prusa may not be the top at the moment, but the quality and support is there.

    I recommend that unless you have the free time, you’re willing to tinker, and are not easily frustrated, you should look into a higher quality brand.

  • I’ve never watched any of his videos, but I’ve seen clips. I just can’t do it with the amount of cringe inducing content. The channel shows his last upload was 7 months ago. That’s one hell of a transformation. My first thought is “is this real or some sort of AI filter?” My second thought was what kind of damage did he do to himself in the process of this transformation? Was it “natural” via diet and exercise, or surgery? 7 months and 250 pounds lost (if that can be believed) seems very, very extreme. I don’t even know if with some money and a paid physical trainer with questionable ethics it could be possible. The amount of excess skin would be another thing to consider. He got me to click and watch a couple of minutes so maybe he won the game, but at what cost?
