Kids today are lazy, back 60 years ago we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways and come home and milk the cows. Why we could easily lift that thing with only four people.

I think the other user pretty much nailed it about the enclosure. Unless you are printing materials that require high heat it is not necessary.
Now if you are in a very dusty environment you might consider one just to avoid the hassle.
However you also may want to look online, there are some simple and fairly inexpensive pop up enclosures that work very well. I have been using one for a while now with mine and I print ABS pretty regularly. I just tore all the electronics out of my printer and printed a control box for it (external) to the outside of the enclosure.

- Comment on "If HBO Made Zelda" - The Untold Story of Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun (Time Extension) 4 months ago:
Am probably gonna get a lot of hate for saying this but…
I remember playing Blood Omen and loving it. It was one of the first games I ever finished. I jumped at Soul Reaver when it came out but when I started playing it really took me a while to get into it. The switch up between the play style was part of the issue but I think the other was the ‘two choice’ option at the end of the game in the first. Doom the world or save it.
Obviously Soul Reaver picks up from the stand point that Kain turned evil but it seemed like such a weird twist of a game play.
Anyway, good article. I had wondered what had happened with this series.

- Comment on OpenAI says it is investigating reports ChatGPT has become ‘lazy’ 5 months ago:
Am late to the game here but after reading the article I would agree.
I use it off and on if I am looking up formulas and scripts and find it a great tool for work. It saves a ton of time. It works great and haven’t noticed any change there. Request it to give/write you a specific formula to solve X and it will. It’s a huge time saver.
But I’ve found recently if I am trying to just find information on a subject that I want summarized or something found on the web and explained it will often ‘recommend I check out the company’s website for the latest news or recent developments.’
That last statement was an exact quote I got recently that made me laugh when I went asking for the explanation of how something worked. It was a NO SHIT SHERLOCK moment I had after getting several of these sort of replies.
I mean I har gotten detailed explanations of string theory ages back from ChatGPI and now it’s telling me ‘ummm just go look it up - I can’t right now…m

Anyone wanna place a bet on how long it will be before the porn on there gets banned for good?
I know what Spez said about keeping it but he has lied before.
My bet is once they nail down the investors for the IPO, Reddit users are going to see a sharp shift in moderating - including what is allowed regarding NSFW/NSFL content.

- Comment on Vehicle 'Kill Switch' Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy 5 months ago:
Everything in the US has become either ‘fighting terror’ or for ‘saving the children’
If you complain about any of the draconian measures that keep encroaching on our liberties then you are not a patriot or you are some sort of child hating monster.
Interesting how times have changed and our government here has twisted our constitution. Our founding fathers are no doubt rolling in their graves.
- Comment on Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed 5 months ago:
Anyone that thinks this wasn’t intentional is a fool. They are just testing the waters.
Bad feedback? Then shelve it and try it again in a couple years. Regardless, Pandora’s box as been opened and all the other game companies now will be eyeing this new ‘feature’ for future implementation real soon.

As much as I have been on the EU’s side on every case that they’ve had against Apple. This should be a giant red flag that Google is pushing this so hard.
- Comment on Anyone have an airbrush kit? 6 months ago:
I always highly recommend Iwata. I have a couple different models of their brushes and love them both.
I was a solely a bristle person myself until about 5-6 years ago and had gotten a couple cheapy air brushes that did not work out very well so I decided to try that brand and have been in love ever since.
The Iwata are easy to take apart and clean, easy to find extra parts and if you take care of them you typically don’t have any issue with them.
I use mine originally painting GW minis but moved on to 3d prints that I do as well. I have a couple different ones - both I picked up during sales around this time of year. One has more of wider needle that I use for priming and base coating and the other I keep for more detail work.
You will probably want an air compressor too. I have had this one for years and it is only now beginning to show signs of wear. Am sure some people on here might have other recommendations but this one has done a great job for me as a decent starter:
Master Airbrush Air Compressor TC-40T
I also have a Badger that I bought several years ago after reading a Black Friday ad that I believe was posted on Reddit. The quality is meh. Some people swear by the Badger brand name but the one I got looks and feels cheap compared to the two Iwata models I got.
The other, sort of weird thing: I remember emailing their customer service a question when I got it. Nothing that I thought was out of the ordinary just a ‘hey guys, I got a question as to what came with this Black Friday deal’
Whoever replied basically gave me a piss off email of sorts. I got this reply back telling me that was what I had ordered and that was what I got!
I just chuckled and thought, someone is having a bad day but marked it up as not to buy another of their product. Later I ran across similar posts on Reddit and other sites about people having fun times with their customer service. Whether or not the have changed, I dunno. I have stuck with Iwata and Vallejo products ever since.
- Comment on Facebook Puts a Price on Privacy in EU, EEA and Switzerland: It’s 9.99€ a Month + 6€ for Each Extra Account 6 months ago:
I definitely will agree with you there but why on earth would anyone pay these assholes to pretend that they would give you some privacy?
The irony is they mine us for our private data, track us, sell it, then have the gall to demand to charge us back for use of their services.
That’s why I get so pissed when this comes up or when adblocking on any other service rears its head (looking at you YouTube).
People are quick to forget that these services are following you everywhere you go. Looking through your contacts. Reading your mail. Delving into every nook and cranny of your private life and selling it all.
Instead of giving them a dime, invest in a VPN, a good Adblocker and other resources.

I got the files and started printing mine but got sidetracked so I did not get it done.
One question though. Did you have to scale the helmet parts any or how was the fit?

- Comment on My Review of Ghostbusters (1984) 7 months ago:
I am old enough to remember that when they first started doing promos for this they didn’t drop any info or big marketing.
They did these real short TV spots with the Ghostbusters logo during prime time and other major shows with absolutely zero background. Only thing that was on it was the message ‘Coming to save the world’
I remember all the buzz at the time in school because everyone was chatting about it trying to figure out what it was about. No internet or places to read up on aside from the usual movie magazines at the grocery stores so everyone was all amped by the time the actual full trailer dropped and ready to beat the door down when it arrived in theaters.
- Comment on Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station 7 months ago:
I don’t know about that part. Just that it was all over the news when it happened here and I later read about the details as to how they did it.
I would have assumed the makers of the pumps would had put into them a little tighter security but then again look at some of these password and other web hacks we routinely see.
- Comment on Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station 7 months ago:
Not sure about this specific pump but this same thing happened in my town several months back and BT was used then too.
When it happened we found out that the pumps at the station in particular (and probably most) have a BT receiver tied to whatever little processor that runs the pump so either a station manager or someone servicing the pumps can access them with the right equipment, make internal adjustments etc.
In the case that happened locally to us. Someone hacked them the same way, then posted to Facebook and other social media sites to come get some free gas, etc.

- Comment on 3d scanners - anyone got one? 9 months ago:
I have tried a few of them without much satisfaction. Usually the scans are disappointing when it comes to the detail level. I want something that I don’t have to spend a lot of time cleaning up in blender or another 3d program.
The other issue I have had is no matter how careful I am with moving the phone around the subject, often it will error out which is mind boggling frustrating. Go to quick, it errors, too slow it errors, turn to fast, errors, get mad and throw your phone - well you get the picture.
