- Comment on New printer, considering the prusa CoreONE...but 1 week ago:
I’m going to second the Qidi line. They’re fantastic.
- Comment on What temperature sensors do you use? 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on What temperature sensors do you use? 3 weeks ago:
I use the ones you’ve linked. They’re awesome.
- Comment on Bambu lab A1 mini alternative? 4 weeks ago:
I’m here to shill with you. Qidi is looked over and is an amazing bang for your buck.

Nozzles are disposable. I would swap for piece of mind.

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

Has anyone tested this on Linux?

- Comment on Is a dremel 3D40 worth it in 2024? 4 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.
- Comment on Is a dremel 3D40 worth it in 2024? 4 months ago:
Bambu has community firmware.
- Comment on Is a dremel 3D40 worth it in 2024? 4 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.
- Comment on Do you think the Creality K2 Plus is worth waiting for? 6 months ago:
Qidi has been fantastic for me. Amazing customer support. They’ve sent replacement parts as well.
- Comment on Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing. 8 months ago:
It’s not a death trap it’s just not to code. Possible fire risk? Sure. But there’s a lot of things that are too code that are fire risk as well.
Mainly it needs a disclaimer that it’s not to code for the US and for low voltage projects only.

Devils advocate here - you do need to print these to make them dangerous. They’re not items that are being given to children without parent consent.

- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 1 year ago:
It may have been me both times. I went down a deep AD hole recently, and was trying to find an easy open source way to do it.
My advice is to put whatever you choose into a vm and snapshot it right before you configure the AD. I think I reconfigured mine 8 times before I was happy.
- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 1 year ago:
Samba v4 has been able to be a domain server forever and it’s free. You can also use Synology if you want it off the shelf.
- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 1 year ago:
Not the original commenter, but I don’t understand how that would increase your attack surface. The AD is inside the network, and if an attacker is already in, you’re compromised. There might be way to refrence a DNS server with a windows server, but then you’re running windows and your life is now much more difficult.
As per DNS, the AD server must be the DNS provider. If you run something like nethserver in a VM you can use it as a dns & ad server.
The domain thing, the AD server is the authorative for its domain. So if you set it as top level, like myhouse.c()m, it will refrence all dns requests to itself, and any subdomains will not appear. The reccomended way to get around this is to use a subdomain, like ad.myhouse.c()m. Or, maybe you have a domain name to burn and you just want to use that?
- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 1 year ago:
I am, and I’m using Neth Server. I use it only for an AD, TrueNAS for file storage and a few VMs, portainer for applications. It was for practice, but Neth makes it so easy, why not? And it can help with some LDAP applications (but I haven’t set them up yet)
- Comment on 4hr 40m Benchy! 1 year ago:
I hear you on that. I ended up getting a Qidi Max 3 for that reason.
- Comment on 4hr 40m Benchy! 1 year ago:
Ah I see! Did you see Bambu has an open source-ish option now with the community firmware?
- Comment on 4hr 40m Benchy! 1 year ago:
Four hours? That seems awfully slow. You say you’re printing this for your store? I would think you’d want to get a Bambu A1.
