  • Do NOT buy Creality

    Jump

  • I purchased a K1 Max directly from Creality in October 2024.

    This was well after the K1 Max had recieved the K1C upgrades. People had been getting K1 Max units with the small X/Y pulleys and upgrade hot end for MONTHS.

    I bought it directly from Creality expecting to get a current revision.

    I received a rev1 unit. It had signs of use. I asked Creality to replace it with the current revision and they decline.

    It never really printed right. Using their filament and their slicer about 40% of the prints would fail. They kept dragging me along for weeks. I assume this was to push me out of the return window.

    They literally never one entertained my suggestion of returning.

    Until I call my credit card company. VISA said to box it up, email them one last time demanding a return label for a full refund, and if they did not give me one, VISA would do a charge back.

    Whilst boxing it up I noticed another shipping label from before the K1C was released.

    So they had absolutely sold me a unit that was not brand new.

    Now I have a Sovol SV08 and if I was looking for a new printer I would be looking at the Snapmaker U1

  • Will the infotainment brick if you listen to NPR?

    Or will it just freeze if you listen to 99% Invisible?

    Between the what Mazda handled both of those issues and basically telling people to Pound Sand, I'm not sure I would want to get an even more software driven Mazda.

  • Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1

    Jump

  • All two dongles I have used (Google, Apple) have a DAC.

    I'm pretty sure the analog ones are the exception, not the rule.

  • Does switching motherboard require a reinstall?

    Jump

  • I've honestly had a lot of luck booting a Windows SSD on different computers.

  • I spent two weeks with the Sony Xperia 1 VII, and it's a novelty-laden Android phone that fails to justify its high price tag

    Jump

  • The Xperia 10 mk7 has all of that for a fraction of the price.

    Just like the Xperia 1 you can't officially get them in North America.

  • Volvo CEO: electric wave will kill a few Western automakers - which ones?

    Jump

  • Yeah their first two dedicated EV cars(for NAR anyways), ex30 and ex90, are pretty hated by most reviewers.

  • Gaming Laptops That Look Normal

    Jump

  • I thought my Asus G14 looked pretty normal.

    Unfortunately it was a complete POS that never slept correctly or would randomly used the Nvidia GPU leading to like 2-3 hour battery life.

    ThinkPad + Steamdeck is my new solution.

  • best print farm 3d-printer for PETG?

    Jump

  • I flashed to mainline shortly after getting it. I didn't have any issues with stock firmware, only swapped because if the cartographer.

    If you don't mind minor amounts of tinkering to get it good, it's been great since switching to the Cartographer.

  • Terrible bed adhesive. Cleaned the bed multiple times. Tried with and without glue sticks. It had over 2mm of deviation.

    Prints would always warp on the right side where the aux fan was blowing on them.

  • best print farm 3d-printer for PETG?

    Jump

  • I had a K1 Max I got directly from Creality in October.

    It would print ASA okay, but PETG and PLA failed like 75% of the time.

    Switched to a Sovol SV08 with a cartographer and I can't remember having a failed print since. I print almost exclusively in PETG now.

  • Piracy in Mexico.

  • Be careful if you are using Roku, read the Privacy Policy.

  • So return it if you bought a TV like that.

    Buy these things with a credit card. If the store refuses a return or demands a restocking fee, credit card dispute. Visa doesn't fuck around with this stuff.

  • Considering the Prusa CORE One as first printer - any reason to reconsider?

    Jump

  • I have had a SV08 for a few weeks. Had a K1 Max for the same time period. I had 2 or two failed prints on the SV08 and about 3 dozen failed prints.

    I returned the K1 Max (with huge struggles with support)

    Previously I had a Labist ET4 that only worked for a out 5 prints total before giving up on it.

    I will agree with your statement. If you are willing to put in a bit of research on YouTube and GITHUB and swap a few parts and spend a few hours you'll have a hilarious large printer that just spits out almost anything you throw at it, besides ABS and ASA... For now...

  • Noob question about PiHole

    Jump

  • I run multiple pinholes using keepalived. Then I only use one DNS in my DHCP server. Second pihole will seemlessly take over if the first one goes down whilst using the original DNS address.

    Work quite well. I had to learn the hard way that only using a single pihole was just asking for my partner to be mad when it didn't work / when I was doing server maintenance. Now I have multiple and they can all seemlessly take over if any my server nodes are down
