  • This is interesting. Soval has become the budget open source brand. While everyone else is trying to prevent the competition from stealing ideas, Soval has been the contrarian and has been very up front about their desire to be open source.

    I have 3 concerns:

    First, advertised speeds are never what you can get in the real world. Due to the constant need for changing directions while actually printing. The machines can seldom get enough distance to reach their full speeds. 40,000mm/sec2 means little if the best you can get is 5000mm/sec2 due to all the short moves. So I'll be curious to hear of what the real speeds are from consumers out in the real world.

    Secondly, Soval does not have the best reputation for QC and responsiveness to problems. And they do have problems. It appears you can't expect Prusa or Bambu level support if disgruntled users can be believed.

    And finally, do you really need that print volume at a consumer level? Just how many life sized Mando helmets or Dwyane The Rock Lobsters are you going to print? At $1200, (projected street price), that is a lot of money to spend for a machine that might get used to capacity once or twice over the years you might own it.

  • I'm pretty sure Bambu wants the files as sliced by Studio just like everything else there. They want the machine profiles for users to download and print. Right down to the color of the filaments for the FDM stuff.

  • Sometimes I think the world should just let them kill each other until they simply can't anymore.

  • It would appear you are now trapped by Bambu into their product system.

    May God ha' Mercy on your Soul.

  • If a throw down on cool and even more old and useless skills learned in schools is what you want, I'm for today. Not only did I need to learn learn about the Dewey Decimal System and cursive hand writing, (as a lefty I was nearly forced to learn to write right handed in school), but I had to learn how to use a slide rule. Calculators weren't around until I was about 17. Now everyone carries one and can't do any math.

    Television as a working concept was solidly in place by the 1920s. They just needed to agree on a standard, make the tech cheap enough, and get broadcast stations built. Had WW2 not interrupted things, we might have had television as a bigger commercial thing sooner than the 1950s/1960s. The clipping does look like the style of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics of the 1930's era though.

  • So horses and Harley Davidson motorcycles have that in common since they most often seen riding on a trailer?
