  • Prusa printers are also "turn on and print" nowadays, except if you buy it as a build-it-yourself kit. And even that is like a more advanced Lego kit, the instructions are very thorough, with community comments for every step. They're very easy to repair, and you can usually buy upgrade kits to upgrade them to the next version.

    I agree that If you don't have a filter system or some way to vent the printers outside, stick to PLA for indoor items, PETG for things that might be in the sun, and potentially TPU for rubbery parts. You don't even need an enclosure for those.

    If you have the budget for it, get a Prusa MK4S or Core One. In my opinion, the only reason not to buy a Prusa is the price.

  • I thought I read about beds also being stuck in a reclined position.

  • Since they open sourced pebble, I'm hoping a Chinese firm will make a clone soon.

  • I've fixed similar issues by calibrating input shaping for a specific filament, if I recall correctly.

  • Are you also dressed like Luigi Mangione, or is it a coincidence?

  • The article title is extremely misleading, making this look like a terrorist attack during a random religious festival. The rest of the article describes this instead as violence perpetrated by the military junta on a small protest.

  • In firefox there’s an extension that suspends tabs that haven’t been active for a while. I guess that chrome has something similar.

    Firefox does that natively now, AFAIK. Also, a popular Chrome extension that did the same changed hands and turned to malware a while back, just FYI.

  • Overheating is now a feature.

  • I just type "yay".

  • I used to think "pear" sounded the same as "pier". Same goes for "tear" and "tear".

  • I don't think anyone in this picture played in Annihilation. The bottom picture is Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us

  • Didn't Lion Electric go bankrupt?

  • Ah nice, it seems that the adaptive cubic will make larger pockets? Neither cubic nor adaptive cubic seems very... cubic to me, though. Why is it called this?

    Adaptive cubic does indeed make larger pockets in areas that are far away from walls. As for the name, I myself imagine cuboid shapes standing on one corner. Prusa has a great page on different infill types: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/infill-patterns_177130. The only advantage I can think of for grid infill (that you're using) is that it reportedly makes better flat top surfaces.

    I manage a few Prusa printers at a school, and have set the default profiles to use 15% adaptive cubic infill.

    I change the infill in the following cases:

    • Large decorative item: Support cubic.
    • Piece that requires strength: Cubic , 20%, maybe add an extra perimeter
    • Very thin & tall parts: Rectilinear
    • Thin & flat: Grid

    Hm, OK, maybe - I think however it would have been difficult for me to keep it going when it sounds like I am destroying the printer for every layer

    I wasn't there to hear it, I might have felt the same :)

  • Gyroid infill used to be the default in PrusaSlicer, but they changed it to grid when the MK4 came out with input shaping and much higher speeds. Straight lines gain most from the increased acceleration. Gyroid will now make your printer vibrate like crazy.

    This is also not cubic infill, that's another one (which I would recommend over grid for structural pieces). I actually almost always use Adaptive Cubic infill, which saves a lot of filament.

    I also believe that your print would probably had turned out fine in the end, it doesn't seem like there were any catastrophic failures in your photos, despite the noise.

  • Could you somehow upload a 3MF file to troubleshoot? I suspect blender is the culprit here, especially with boolean modifiers.

  • The openness is what's exciting about this.

  • I find the ckncept interesting, but I often don't remember the name of an app. I need to see its icon.

  • The px is making me eyes itch.
