- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
I disagree. Sometimes you need to look at the situation as a whole in order to understand the motivation.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
How is it irrelevant? Plex offers a bunch of services that cost them money that we don’t use, so they jacked up prices for streaming our own data.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
Plex actually does have streaming services. The ones we’ve never asked for. And live tv.
- Comment on Is this just crappy Filament 5 weeks ago:
It’s your filament wet? Have you replaced the nozzle? What’s weird is the edges appear to look like oozing but you’ve done a temp towers.

- Comment on What temperature sensors do you use? 2 months ago:
Yea. I was doubtful. I bought one, tested it, then bought ten. I’ve found them more reliable than aqara.
But the most reliable is esphome.

I use the ones you’ve linked. They’re awesome.

Looks like Linux gaming just did a write up. Works on Linux but not on the steam deck (makes sense, it’s a beast)

- Comment on Is a dremel 3D40 worth it in 2024? 6 months ago:
I kind of agree with what you’re saying on creality, but if you look at their core xy machines compared to other manufacturers of a similar price point, it’s just not worth it (K1).
To your point about larger size, Qidi XMAX3 is where it’s at. It’s rock solid and customer support is amazing. They’ve sent me free parts due to clogs and helped diagnose issues on the printer (this is what Creality lacks, support). It runs on Klipper and is easily modified, and it’s fully enclosed with a heater.
I also think a “beginner” machine has shifted. Most people want to print, not maintain. And now we have plenty of machines that need little maintenance.
Creality machines do excel at tinkering, swapping parts, and doing fun mods. But you need to know that’s what you want when going in. Even then for a beginner I’d say get something rock solid for your first printer, and get a tinkering machine for your second.
I agree with everything you’re saying about filament. The only thing to use CF with is Nylon if you need it to be a little more rigid, but it will eat your nozzle.
ASA and ABS won’t only smell, it will poison you. Do not hang out if you can smell it.
As per Amazon and their return policy, totally true. If you’re not buying there make sure they have a solid customer support, like Qidi and Bambu. Creality wouldn’t take a return for the world.

Bambu has community firmware.
- Comment on Is a dremel 3D40 worth it in 2024? 6 months ago:
I don’t think so. It looks like it lacks ABL, and the time savings from a core XY with ABL or auto first layer are MASSIVE. Also your print quality increases exponentially.
Take a look at the FlashForge 5M if you want a budget auto first layer printer, or the Qidi line for a slightly more robust printer (but needs more manual intervention).
And if you’d like to focus on printing and not tinkering forever, get a Bambu. Any of them.
Avoid creality.
