Hahaha yeah true but this cost me less than just the x1 new so let me have the slight win of “free” even though it’s definitely not.

Yeah it’s been unused for 3 years and started it’s life in swamp land so definitely wet. They are in the toaster oven on the dehydrate setting just unfortunately have to do that for every single roll except the single unopened solutech I had left.

Yeah I just tested my first multi color… And jammed the printer with my brittle old filament…
ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I got lucky and mine was free because I bought used… That is a whole lot of AMS going on in that photo.

Yeah it’s a lot of different names and I thought I was keeping up but I guess I shouldn’t expect the same companies from the days of repraps to be unchanged in this new era of auto printers.

Yeah I think I am just gonna jump straight to orca slicer and skip Bambu’s.

Prusa slicer was always the good one anyways. But yeah I felt slice settings kept getting faster than my printer could handle even when it worked.

I’m trying it in the dehydrator now but like 5-6 loops crumbled right off as I took it out of the bag and that seems like a bad sign.

Lucky. I had opened most of mine and I don’t think my Ziploc bags held out as much water as I would have hoped.

It is a sad day, this printer deserves all the solutech. That filament was so good.

I was deeply upset when I went looking for them and realized there was nothing.

The QR code literally took me to a scam gambling site and that was my first clue.

Hahaha yeah, my last printer I bought before this one was a prusa mk2 and I don’t mean 2.5 I mean 2.

So I’ve never had a removable build plate even.
It feels a whole lot more than incremental.

I actually havent actually used the bambu slicer yet either. Just been using internal files and the whole app thing to print test pieces.

Aloha air? 1988? Yeah man that one lives with me on how safe planes really can be considered.

As long as it doesn’t have an auto pilot feature that makes you nosedive to counter a completely mismanaged weight and design flaw.

Oh no. You wanted to enter another country and they wanted to know who you are in case you do something illegal while there?!?! How very 1984.

This is a country that doesn’t even allow you to sell to used electronics stores without a residency card so that you can’t scam them.

This seems like a really dumb gripe to have that you had to enter immigration in a other country. Complaining because you got detained in Singapore or China cause you complained about the government or handed out some VPNs on a USB (I did the delays were fun) is commendable but this seems like yelling at shadows.

Probably as an over reaction to lost wages and the feeling of being completely unable to secure financial freedom for their family if they even had one which likely makes them feel like failures thus the hard pivot back to forceful ideology.

I mean unfortunately expectations of what a “man is” hasn’t changed much since pre world wars with added consumerism since.

So it’s equality where the equality is worse for everyone and social stigmas still are abound. It’s a powder keg.

That’s a cool idea. I was gonna suggest TPU

Same but if you point out the personal risk to health to people they are usually more likely to respond, unfortunately.

And hey likely the same crowd that would be reckless with solvents.

Yeah I will say the idea that SLA is a totally fine printing option for general hobbyists really doesn’t do justice to the fact that you are basically doing factory production work in your house that often requires extensive PPE and washing stations when done for business.

They are harsh chemicals and people definitely aren’t even disposong of them correctly most of the time.

Would you say it’s worth it for $300 for a ender 5 with the sonic pad? Cause yeah that lack of support seems like the dumbest thing about this printer.

Yeah I had a friend build one out of like balsa wood and a couple CD trays and the rest of us were stunned… And not very impressed after like 5 minutes which a shame cause it really was a beginning stop that showed what was possible.

I am definitely less into making those kinds of jank printers just cause the costs were never quite zero, and we have so much better options.

My first printer was a self built reprap from parts from aliexpress in college.

I then helped fund peachy on kickstarter and a stupid poured resin counterweighted printer called the Phoenix.

I then had an Geeetech A10M, a Prusa Mk2 and ender 3, as well as one resin printer.

All I have left is the Prusa mk2 that hasn’t worked right for over a year and doesn’t print anything.

I would buy a new printer in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

I definitely have never made back my money. To many dumb purchases and early generation jank all over the place but it was fun. The first thing I ever did with my first hand built printer was make a lithopane of my deceased dog and eventually my grandfather.

I’ve made so many stupid things and spent so much time on it as a hobby that it filled my days with activities, reason to communicate with others and frustrating nights all alike. Its not for everyone and its not really a good idea but if you have the means or like a hobby of tinkering and building in the modern world there is very little experience like it.

Isn’t the whole point that you aren’t supposed to compress it cause it will force you to overheat the flower to try and get the THC making it essentially the same as burning it?

Seriously they recommend either using the teeth to cut a piece right from the nug or sucking on it like a straw to make sure their is air flow for the oil to vaporize properly.

This seems backwards.
