I don't see why you couldn't just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.
I'm anticipating a crackdown on piracy in the near future. Even if you use a VPN that could get you flagged and traffic analyzed maybe even dropped from your ISP.
Do you count that as modifying if you add a raspberry pi or a camera, but you can still just remove them and have the printer just like it came ootb?
These are definitely things that come with better printers these days. I only use octoprint with my cheap printer. It gives better results because a rpi is miles better at keeping up than the cheap board they put in there, it also didn't come with Wi-Fi or a camera which are things that come out of the box on other printers. Of course in the past printers didn't come with those things. I would consider them accessories because they added the USB port to the printer for you to send commands to, which is what you're doing.However, If the printer were "better" then you wouldn't have to use those things since it would already have Wi-Fi, better board, and a camera built in.
That's still "how it came out of the box" though as long as you use the same nozzle or one reccomended by the company. Just like replacing your brake pads with factory brake pads and not upgrading them to something better.
Had I not worked in the plastics industry for many years and been a hobbyist tinkerer I would have never bought a printer. Unfortunately I never got around to actually learning cad because there is usually an stl already available for what i want to do. I started messing with freecad so maybe I'll learn how to make parts and then I can probably justify a just works printer or just have parts printed by someone else.
Orca slicer just works on Ubuntu, but I had to use the appimage and not the normal install. I'm using octoprint on an old thin client which runs Debian and has been rock solid for many years.
Auto bed leveling and direct drive are pretty much the only things I want, and it's got them and was cheap.
That was my thought process with the Kobra Neo.
The bed was so out of whack that I added adjustment wheels (it had solid spacers) and I upgraded the firmware to a modified one that added a couple of qol features. Now I'm realizing that the part cooling fan is just not big enough to keep up especially with the duct they put on there. If it weren't for all the stringing then my prints would look good. Then of course there are other common issues people had with these with the bed wires breaking.
I made !flipping@lemmy.world for discussing this very thing. I wrote a beginners guide to eBay. I recently figured out that people on marketplace care more about PCs with a windowed case and rgb lights over system specs.
This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.
I'm still using YouTube with smarttube or whatever it's called now and vanced. They have adblocking and sponsor block so I don't get shitty ads and I can still pick who I watch. I did go and download a bunch of kids videos since someone watches the same show all the time and now just use jelyfin for that.
