Oh no…

Oh yeah that too, that’s very true…

This seems lopsided, there’s no way working in an office is worse than being so broke that a single setback will make you homeless. Unless that’s the joke and I’m just dense lol

I’m on Endeavour, so i need the Arch socks except with those old lady help-you-pull-your-socks-up thingies attached

Same! Very clever

Oooh, adding immediately, thanks!!

Yes, he is absolutely a transphobe, by the very wiki article you linked?

Ok fair, i was comparing between LDO kits. If you go outside them sure, but then a non-LDO Rook will also be half as much and even more affordable

A voron 0.2 kit costs $650 🙃

If you’re interested in tinkering but a Voron is just too expensive, I’d suggest the Rook 2020 MK2 from Rolohaun. You can get an LDO kit for the MK1 alongside an MK2 upgrade kit. It’s coreXY but it’s both cheaper and more beginner friendly than a Voron. (1, 2, 3)

Whoaa that’s super exciting!!

This looks amazing!!!

I would add to this, see if your local library either already offers such a service, or else would consider it if enough people ask. The one I work for does it and our prices are much, much lower than similar commercial services.

As someone who has used an Ultimaker S5 Pro and a Snapmaker Artisan at work for many years now… go open source. This name brand shit is not a single iota more reliable/less finicky/more performant, in my experience. Build a Voron or a Rook or a Lemontron or a K3 or a Rat Rig, etc. If you need help, see if your local public library has a makerspace that can assist or at least lend you the tools.

Mostly so i can use it myself without having to navigate away from this post to sub the community hehe

I’ve never had any trouble with any of the 8BitDo brand ones on Ubuntu or Arch, if that helps

As a non-techy person, I was under the impression from lots of fedi folks that it would either cost a fortune or otherwise be quite impractical to completely divorce ATProto from bluesky itself. However, as a WAFRN enjoyer, Gabbo seems to really know what he’s doing, and he actually prefers ATProto over AP… What’s the actual deal here?? Is it easier than expected somehow?

Well unfortunately, since we live on a burning down planet, that’s not a factor that can be conscionably reconsidered…

On the other hand, we also work with post-consumer recycled PLA, PA-CF, HIPS, and PETg, and none of them seem to behave appreciably worse than their virgin counterparts.

Oh you’re not wrong lol, that’s true!

I print in recycled PP-GF (glass fiber polypropylene) reclaimed from fishing nets at work sometimes, and the tape trick only half works for me. It sticks to the tape just fine but the tape doesn’t stick to the glass bed… Based on this video, maybe we just need better tape! The PP-specfic MagiGoo barely helps at all. Also, one would think the glass fiber would make it warp less but it absolutely hasn’t lol.

Maybe on paper this stuff isn’t super toxic, but mine produces easily one of the worst chemical smells of any filament we’ve used, for some reason.

Anyway, once you do get it to print successfully, it really is totally indestructible. Try to find post-consumer recycled stuff though, as hard as that is to do.
