Uh, you’re not supposed to eat it. It’s a substrate.

Horse: Everyone can see what a horse is

Benedykt Joachim Chmielowski, Nowe Ateny, 1745

Open the country. Stop having it be closed.

The tank engine?

That’s what I’m thinking, wonder if I can isolate joints themselves in the slicer to just show down for those parts

Too late, already bought the U1. But the upside is that the U1 seems like it’s going to be the community favorite head changer for a while, and I’m sure it won’t be too long until there are some aftermarket heads that take inspiration from indx.

Yeah I saw that, though I’ll probably just wait and print on the U1 when it gets here.

And then that greatness reduced once again to atoms when I inevitably get a full color 3d scanner to start making perfect miniatures of everything. Luckily I’ve probably got a few years before there’s a decent markerless scanner in the hobbyist price range, so I have time to recover.

It is done. My fate is sealed. My bank account, reduced to atoms.

Yeah that’s $999 just for the tool changer, then a printer on top of that. We’ve left my price range behind.

The Flashforge Creator 5 caught my eye, it’s only a bit outside my budget. Right now it seems like either that or springing for the $899 Snapmaker U1. Downside of the Flashforge is that it’s newer, seems to have some bugs, and like you said the shipping issues.

Definitely an option.

If I was still printing a bunch for TTRPGs then yeah I’d probably agree. I feel like to justify a $900 printer I’d have to start selling prints. I could do that, but then I’m turning a hobby into a side hustle, and then I’ve gotta find customers, and meet deadlines, and source models that are high enough quality to sell without legal trouble.

Idk, maybe. It does look nice.

Edit: Ugh, I went down the Full Spectrum rabbit hole. If I’m not mistaken, translucent filament on a 4 head printer can handle basically any color. The U1 is becoming more and more attractive. My poor wallet.

I’m hesitant on the Kobra because I’m trying to move away from bedslingers (and an enclosure would be nice).

Qidi looks interesting tho. Looks like a bigger build volume than the Elegoo CC2. I’m curious how it compares.

It looks nice, but 50% more than my budget. I’m not sure I can justify it.

At least you’re not a flat earther. Etidorpha, am I right?

Honestly most of the time I get by fine with Tinkercad if I’m making something functional, Blender if it’s decorative.

I dunno, SpongeBob occupies a sizeable fraction of successful memes

I love the implication that pokémon are intelligent creatures that could learn to speak if we trained them for that, but most people would rather use them in casual animal fights for money and prestige.
