So if I had to buy one tomorrow, and being a creality fan, on your budget it would be a creality hi combo, if I had more it would be any K2 with a cfs combo
Well this is my opinion;
I have a large cr10 smart pro, it is way too big for 95% of my prints. Only a small number has ever been larger than 20cm. So don't go and buy too large of a printer initially. So don't think you are missing out with 30cm30cm30cm build volumes.
Next is speed, I am still stuck at 60mm/s speeds so get something fast, this is the biggest gripe of my printer. Not the quality, not the size... But speed. You can always make your printer print slower but not easily very faster than designed. Anything that can hit 180-200mm/s would be amazing.
Next is the multiple filament that has taken the world by storm, all I can say is I am jealous and cannot wait to get a printer which has it, call it fomo but I want it, I think it has its use cases but for you that is to decide.
Next is do you like to tinker or do you just want to print and forget. I cannot speak to either of your examples but even my cr10 is very close to print and forget, I did a bit of setup but you will do something similar while learning how to use it. So I think both your examples will be basically print and forget out of the box. If you want to tinker I do not think either your examples are very mod friendly but I might be wrong. Nor privacy friendly if you just connect and forget but that is your choice, honestly I am indifferent. If you want to maybe try and install a rpi with klipper maybe you will get past most of your privacy concerns, but that is a whole bunch of learning and say then good bye to a good weekend learning and getting everything to work, but learning is so rewarding. I did a klipper conversion on my creality and I love it.
Honestly go with your gut, there will never be a 3d printer that does everything and is perfect, just ask yourself what your needs are and what are non negotiable. Everything is evolving so rapidly in 3-5 years your new printer now will seem old, so future proofing is very hard with a plug and play.
Also check part availability where you are, in South Africa, where I assume both of us are, I chose creality because even now I can still buy parts easily at most 3d printer shops years after the model has been discontinued.
Yeah I am having too much friction getting Fusion360 to work on my Linux Mint, I know there are methods but with the registration as a hobbyist and using a container.... Got too much, you can blame me as a user not being invested enough to get it working, and installed FreeCAD from the Linux store hassle free.
The quirks I can work around, sometimes it makes me go back and redesign another iteration to avoid the quirk and then also improve my design as a bonus
I love how we have to protect Taiwan against Chinese annexation because the World relies on their chips, but when extremely large corporations basically take away the World's supply of chips it is supposed to be fine.
At least with the Crypto and now the AI craze we are at least getting used to shortages from the eventual war of the chips
Wasn't Ozempic, gpl-1 antagonist, supposed to help type 2 diabetes manage their sugar fluctuations yet had the positive side effect of lowering their appetite and now is basically being pivoted as a revolutionary weightloss drug
Ok not a sketchy website. I was using the WiFi at my Company I work for, they were redirecting my traffic leading to the browser warning me of the invalid certificates.
On mobile data the link works. This is the first time I noticed it today, and after the second link from Google gave me a similar issue I knew something was fishy
I am not sure if the Nazis did but I read the Allied forces tried to conceal the fact that they invented radars by making up a saying that carrots improve your eye sight and that is how they were able to spot the German planes so far away. I am about 90%-ish sure of this fact
It's still amazing how Ukraine was able to adapt in what I think most of the world thought would be a devastating loss and fought like hell, real David vs Goliath. May Ukraine never lose
Sorry maybe I am a bit on edge and projecting, I apologise and thank you for helping me.
English is a second language and I am a bit rusty. Did not mean anything malicious with biological women or that, will try to use cis terms in the future.
But I also remember in highschool cis females were banned from competing with the boys because they were girls, always found that weird especially if they were great, one girl was pulled by the school from the cricket team after she was bowled in the chest, I understand that's painful but weird because she was a girl she cannot be exposed to another injury if it is from a boy. Why can't she make that decision herself.
Same with trans kids, let them play, like I said why not make the rules to be as inclusive for everyone.
I do not know the right terminology, just trying, we do not have this issue in my country, these things are constitutionally protected in my country, how could I better describe my idea in my previous comment. I am just commenting, if I made an error help me identify it. Is attacking somebody with the wrong views the best approach, why not extend an olive branch and help reduce the gap
Why do we not remove a lot of the gendered segregation in school sports or most of the boxes in school sport?
I understand they say biological men may injure biological women in contact sports like football, but do large boys not already injure smaller boys. Why not change the sport so that there is less contact that will prevent injuries, maybe not fuck up the kids bodies physically by the time they are 18.
You can put in maybe weight classes, like in boxing which I feel is more fair than age or sex/gender.
I think girls and boys of the same weight can play basketball or baseball together for example
Not defending Israel, just this was about Hamas and the mayor saying he does not support them. I give you my reasoning why I agree with his view. I like how you attack me, the messenger, as if you know anything about me. But this isn't about me, probably my mistake to try and find comparisons from my own life, but I know better now.
I really do hope the Palestinian people get to have peace and prosper, really hope they can have like what we in SA did and live in harmony together. Thank fuck we had Mandela and de Klerk that was able to negotiate peace and lead us to a constitutional democracy.
But I will not support Hamas personally, nor Netenyau's government, hopefully both sides(Palestine and Israel) can get leaders such as ours that can work together. I really hope for everyone there they find a way to live together.
Otherwise this is my last comment on this thread, not gonna waste more of my time, I do not want to change your opinion nor would I want you to change your opinion, we both can have our own valid opinions. So cheers and my not a drop of blood be further spilled on either side
Hamas cannot conduct October the 7th and then wash their hands and say some of the chaos and killing was not our doing, it was others, lets make a boogeyman called Israel spies yes that is who, Hamas peacefully entered Israel on Oct 7, how baby got into Gaza and subsequently died was nothing to do with Hamas, it was those Israeli spies
So much innocence is lost unnecessarily, first the brutal crackdown mowing down Iranians during the January Riots and now this.
