  Have you taken a look at Sovol? Their SV08 is essentially a Boron. As for multi color, Bondtech is releasing their INDX tool changer later this year, wich in my opinion is far superior to an MMU. I don’t know if it can be installed on the SV08, but if it is, it would be my choice.

  Not just a wig, a cheapo Aliexpress wig. I had an employee who bought a quality hairpiece, and it was uncanny. He paid through the nose for it, but it was worth it for him, as he was quite bald in his 20’s.

  1st. You dou you. 2nd. Kudos for the design and ingenuity.

  Now the buts:

  I personally don’t agree with the concept of “I’m going to print this just to prove I can”, especially if it’s subpar.

  I have so much h to print, for me and for others, that I see this as a waste of time an filament.

  My own personal point of view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Budget-friendly Sovol SV08 Max redefines large-format 3D printing with Insane 700 mm/s speeds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Sovol, I like what they do, and how they do it, but this article makes it sound like Sovol did something groundbreaking.

  Eddy? 15€, Rápido UHF (for example, much higher flow hotends out there ) around 70€. Converting an Ender 5 plus (easily found used in the sub 200€ range ) to corexy (Mercury one) around 230€.

  So yes, the max is nice, but I’m modifying my 5 plus to be in that category of printer for around 300€, or if I had to buy a used E5+ under 500.

  The regular SV08 IS groundbreaking. They essentually made a Voron for half the price.

  I can empathize with (part) of your reservations. Others, as you pointed out may be a tad paranoid, and others are simply unfounded, and disregard advancements in general.

  Nowhere did I say magic. I said I like the enhanced properties. It’s completely logical to expect enhancements. Progress is littered with unfortunate developments. It’s a price we pay for advancements, but if you assume that by default, advancements are bad, we might as well all just stop breathing and die.

  I could spend the next few months listing initial advances or improvements thereof, that are unquestionably good. PLA is such an example, as are other bioplastics, vaccines, seat belts and air bags, air source heat pumps, most renewable energy generation (or rather extraction) methods, BPA free, easily recyclable plastics, like PET, long distance communications both voice and data, accessible long distance travel, fucking tools and fire! And so many more advancements.

  Of course there are things like lead in gas, or the systematic attack to efficient mass transport in the US, leaded paint, use of asbestos, hidrocarbon fuels, massively toxic pesticides, PFOAS, Ford Pintos and the corporate decisions behind them, etc.

  But the balance I think is positive, and contrary to what many scream, we humans tend to try to redress the harms we cause.

  You seem to imply that all advancements are dangerous, or evil. Not so. It may be two steps forward, one back, but we go forward.

  He didn’t invent EVs, nor batteries, nor rockets, not even vertically landing rockets, but perfected and especially turned them onto massive success. Too bad he went full idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, but he has kickstarted a space race, and an EV market. Credit where it’s due.

  And yeah I know, rich daddy, no inventions, all evolutionary, etc. But here we are.

  Pouring water with plastic sanding dust may essentually be a “feel-good” gesture. Coffee filters are not fine enough to catch microplastics. Think about it, it lets pass enough coffee particles trough that you have some sediment in your cup.

  Also, where is that filter being discarded? Into a “microplastic recycling facility” ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New God tier filament for me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You We probably leach more microplastics (I’m guessing, no hard data) by using non-stick kitchenware, including oven trays, air fryers, etc… Also much of our packaging is a source of microplastics. Then there are the microplastics we drag into the environment from our car mats, from out fleece jackets, and soooo many of our activities. I’m with you in the desire to reduce microplastics, but let’s be real, if that is such a primary concern to you, you may have the wrong hobby. I’m working on a prototype of a cheap and cheerful enclosure filter, that I will post in one of the model sites,(about 5-6 € including filament, and about 2-3 € for a hepa + carbon filter), but in the end the filter medium will end up in a landfill. There is no practical solution for recycling or removal of microplastics yet, except elimination of as much plastic production as possible.

  The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens?

  Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, or even Google. They give a shit about your wellbeing, as long as they profit. That’s delusional. The try to cater to what will keep you engaged, so that as much of the data you can generate can be milked. That’s like saying that agrobusiness cares about livestock’s wellbeing.

  Right around the confinement my sister and I were talking about getting some seeds for my mom. Neither of us searched for seeds. From that point we both started to get ads for seeds, many for the ones we had talked about in particular. This thing was so unequivocal that it proved to me that our phones listen. Maybe they don’t analyze, but they definitely listen for words actionable for an advertising purposes.
