  • What are some good things going on in your life right now?

    Jump

  • I adopted an adorable young dog. He’s currently wearing me out while we adjust to each other which keeps me from doomscrolling or focusing on the USA’s descent into fascism.

    I needed this.

  • Where do you draw the line regarding windows?

  • We will never be able to repay them for this vigilance

  • Recommendations

  • I just setup an Elegoo Centauri Carbon yesterday. At $300 USD, it’s a lot of printer for the cost.

    I’ve also built printers which is a different beast. If you think your son would enjoy assembling a kit, then there are several great options within your price range. The Voron line of open source printers is where I’d look.

    It’s hard to go wrong with a Prusa, but I have a lot harder time justifying their prices these days. I had a MK3S for 5.5 years that served me well.

  • Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet

    Jump

  • The moment I needed Microsoft’s permission to use my computer after installing a graphics card, I made an image of the drive, wiped it and installed a Linux distribution. That was 2008, and I’ve been a very happy computer user since.

    I know not everyone can make that switch, but it’s easier than ever before, and Valve has really changed the calculus with Proton. Gaming was the biggest thing holding back Linux adoption (IMO).

  • Gamers Against OpenAI?

    Jump

  • It would be fitting for this hardware shortage situation to finally change Windows’ dominance. Microsoft has been one of the biggest investors in OpenAI.

    Poetic justice?

  • Linux Slicer

    Jump

  • SuperSlicer has very good default Voron 2.4 profiles, but it is almost bewildering how many options it has

  • What is used as an insult, but doesn't really feel like one?

    Jump

  • “Bless your heart”

  • Prusa MINI+ has been around for years — upgrade it or buy something new?

    Jump

  • I think in most cases that’s true. I basically never recommend anything that needs major assembly. I don’t think the average person wants a hobby, just a way to make things they see online. And that’s totally fair. I wanted the hobby.

  • Prusa MINI+ has been around for years — upgrade it or buy something new?

    Jump

  • I agree with this.

    That said, if the person who is asking for recommendations loves to build, then a half DIY printer is a good option. Something like a Voron which can be built “to stock” or modified as desired. I just got a 2.4r2 up and running. The software tuning wasn’t bad thanks to SuperSlic3r and the default profiles.

    But if the person just wants a printer? Yeah, I’d direct them to one the more finished products available now like a Bambu or the Elegoo Centauri Carbon.

  • It's a feature.

  • I regret that I have but one upvote for this comment

  • I haven't seen anyone talking about the Anycubic Kobra s1 Max. 350mm3, 350c nozzle, active chamber heating.

    Jump

  • I’m waiting to see what the Voron option will look like for the Bondtech INDX toolchanger before making a final decision, but I’m building a Voron 2.4R2 with the goal of converting it later on. Filament multiplexing is a nice option, but far more wasteful than I can stand

  • TIL the CIA airdropped modified poppy seeds between 2004-2015 to weaken Afghanistan's opium trade, which accounted for the majority of global heroin

  • My understanding is that it flows down from Canada. Vermont has a bad opiate problem partly because it’s so available there.

  • Assembled my first 3D printer

    Jump

  • I agree that the part design is superb, especially coming from the Prusa MK3S. The Voron build manual blows Prusa’s out of the water. I find the whole thing way more intuitive and enjoyable to build.

    Fortunately for me, Linux and SBCs are well within my wheelhouse, and that was one of the primary reasons I chose to build a Voron.

    Those are so ugly. Who would even buy these... oh, right.
