  • The Bambu printers are quite locked down. So you are only getting the functionality they want you to have. So the Core One, (Marlin) or Qidi, (Mainsail and klipper), might be your best choice. Crealty seems to be improving with their new models. But their past history makes me very leery yet. I lean to Prusa because I've owned one for 5 years now and they still support it. Customer support is valuable to me and worth the extra cost in the purchase price.

  • My A1 mini when you look at the printer settings, on the first screen, under g-code flavor, says Marlin(legacy). It's not even Marlin 2. Plus it's locked so you can't even change it something like marlin 2 or klipper.

  • Bambu and Prusa both run Marlin. So there is no klipper to be had there. If you insist on klipper, you might want to check out the Qidi Tech Plus 4. It should tick all the boxes you are looking for. And Qidi says they are coming out with their own version of the AMS for the Plus 4 called the Qidi Box sometime this first quarter. Whether they hit that target date or not, I cannot say.

  • I used to teach math in the local school. The kids had a great interest in 3D printing because I had a few fun items in my classroom that I had 3D printed. I decided to spend a couple of weeks teaching a bit of CAD through having the kids spend it designing a personalized key chain to print.

    It took me 3 days of class time to teach them how to use a mouse.......They couldn't grasp the idea that a touch screen and CAD don't go together, you need that mouse to make it work. It quickly became apparent that things quickly became difficult for them if it doesn't have a touch screen.

    And while some classes are always a bit better than others, there was always a noticeable number of them that struggled with using a mouse.

  • So you want to take agency away from every adult so they conform to your views only?

  • Oh no, I haven't forgotten SuSe. But it's not an OG distro. It's based off of Red Hat. Though I thought it was always a better version of Mandrake than Mandrake ever was. (I wonder what TexStar is doing these days.......)

    I've installed and used it several times over the years and thought it was a fine distro. I have never understood why it's not more to the forefront with it's rolling release. If you like RPM based distros, SuSe is one to check out for sure.

  • Kudos? She benefits financially from this little virtue signal.

    First she's going to pick up some new fans that will buy her music, plus the publicity also has monetary value to her. And secondly, because she donated the proceeds of the sale of the car to NPR, she gets to write off the donation from her taxes to benefit financially yet again. Nor does she need to worry about someone vandalizing her property, which would cost her money to repair.

    Just another profitable day for a person with a $70 million net worth.

  • You should take a gander at the weekly 1.1 Dev version. So much extra goodness!

    I do NOT recommend it for serious use. Like all development software stability can be up and down. But man, I do like it!

  • Kind of sort of. It's seems to be OK for 2D CAM like routers or lasers. I wouldn't want to try even a barely complex multi axis part in a machining center.

  • Don't be a dick and ruin a stranger's things just because.

    Still, those early adopters weren't the people making $45,000 a year. It's not like they can/could afford a new $60,000 car. Anybody buying a Tesla is solidly upper middle class. And often are DINO's politically. And they can live comfortably if they aren't too busy trying to maintain an image.

  • It's not even that. It's a path to madness.

  • If you want to name them all, Red Hat, Debian, and Slackware where the OG popular distros that became the foundations of all the distros we have today. I ran them all back then.

  • Unless you've worn the sackcloth and ashes of Slack, don't even at me and my son.....

    The flash backs to config files. Sooo many config files everywhere. But tarball are Yum!

  • Not being mean spirited, but I suspect NTI's lawyers looked at it and decided that the benchy wasn't worth trying to defend in court. That horse had left the barn long ago. And it will buy some good will for at least a little while.

  • This project is not for me either, but I will not criticize it nor those that want to build it. You could do that also at no effort or cost to yourself.

    Sometimes it's not the end results that matters the most. But rather the journey it took to get there.

  • Ahhh, I knew it. A Man of Culture! Or something else, I'm not sure what though. I have threatened to get an old laptop and install slack on it for fun, but I seem to be too lazy to get it done.........

    You mirror my travels through the Linux distros. Red Hat and Mandrake, Slack, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Suse, even Mint and now Fedora yet again. I've never bothered with setting up a server though, I just don't have the need or desire.

  • Have you spoken to your healthcare provider about Viagratm? It may be able to help with your issue. (Please seek immediate medical help with an erection lasting more than 4 hours).

  • And as repeatedly told and retold every year........

    And I'm using, let's see, (Goes into Settings to check): Fedora KDE Plasma 41. Meh, it works OK I guess. It's getting hard to tell the difference between distros anymore. And I've been doing this long enough that I just something that doesn't bother me for attention anymore.
