- Comment on Should I get a b*mbulab printer? + More newbie questions 4 days ago:
Counter suggestion, FlashForge is pretty reliable when it comes to things that just work out of the box. I have an AD5X and it put out the first print before I had all the packagintlg picked up. There are a few quality of life changes I’ve had to make, it’s built to be plug and play and because of that some of the more esoteric things have to be jailbroken. All the same, it does 4 color and the enclosure kit is self printed, it’s been incredibly reliable, and I’ve had less failed prints than I have successes with some models. I can’t do high detailed minis with it but I also don’t need to babysit it, half the time I’m printing from a different room and don’t even check on it.
All in all, it’s a fantastic gateway to the hobby and when you get in deep enough to run into it’s limitations, it’s still a reliable workhorse to run on the side of something more finely tuned.
- Comment on Turn membrane button into mechanical button? 1 week ago:
The few items I have in mind have hard boards with a little rubber foot that touches either two half circles or two wiggly lines, though I do have one of those plasticy ones you’re taking about. What if I trace the lines back to the board and replicate it with wire?

Oh cool! My plan was to use this to turn a neat Bluetooth keyboard shell mechanical so the reinforcement was baked in from the start!

- Comment on IKEA BESTA enclosure (another one!) with a how-to 3 weeks ago:
Oh man, one of my white whales is getting one of those sturdy old media centers and turning the whole thing into a combined printer/cnc/laser with attached console and storage. Huge build area, head swapping, and all the gear you could ever need in a gaudy wall of wood grain and brass fixtures.
- Comment on IKEA BESTA enclosure (another one!) with a how-to 4 weeks ago:
Always wanted to do the same but disassemble the printer and build it into the box. It wouldn’t be too hard to do with most drop table printers, and it’d be uniquely good for flying gantry because you could embed tracks in the box.
Plus, with a little router work and some custom pieces, you could make it look like an old Mid-Century TV and that would be cute.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Came across Diablo 2 resurrected while hacking my playstation 4. Gotta say, it didn’t need the reboot, I still have my pristine battle box from back in the day and replacing the character select with animation from the 2007 Beowulf movie added absolutely nothing of value.
Damn fun game though, nothing like having an army of skeletons to flood every square inch of the screen.

I thought it was just a sound alike, but no. It’s fucking Matt Berry

In that case it should handle for a while, just don’t try to prune it before the move.
If you’re daring, you may be able to do a routine root a trim to prevent root binding and bonsai it.
- Comment on I'm not saying Fallout 4 modding drama gets to people, but here's Breaking Benjamin's singer begging concertgoers to try his AI-assisted first person mod 1 month ago:
That’s kind of neat, but I’ve seen that mod by like, 8 different people before the advent of AI. Why reinvent the wheel using the very thing that limits his fan base from playing the game to begin with?
- Comment on Valheim 1.0 Launches After 5 Years in Early Access 1 month ago:
While normally I’m all for modding, I genuinely suggest playing without them, at least for your first boss run. After that, I’m quite partial to the diablo style loot mods

That a ficus or a money tree? Either way it should probably be in a bigger pot.

Fallout 4 already has first person though, what exactly did he mod?

I’d gladly join! Hell, I’ll feed the whole server even!
- Comment on Valheim 1.0 Launches After 5 Years in Early Access 2 months ago:
Would absolutely suggest trying it. I’ve bought 2 early access games in my life and both of them are valheim. It’s practically a vacation home for me.
- Comment on This is basically me whenever people ask if I play videogames 2 months ago:
I have a deep love for open world survival games with crafting mechanics and settlement building. I’d love it even more of they had established NPC communities that you could engage in.
I genuinely wish I could live in a little self sustaining farm on the edge of a city and periodically go to market to sell the spoils of my dungeoneering and pick up new bounties.
Or be part of a community where I periodically barter different things to do whatever menial tasks the community needs done. Weed your yard for two jars of honey. Trade one to the neighbor for vegetables and turn the other into mead for next season. Help another repair their roof because I know they’ll help me out when I need to fix the siding come fall.
Most of my games are just a chance to better engage in something I wish I could be doing in life.
- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 2 months ago:
I’ve literally been considering exactly this for a media center. I already have a server built put of an old tower, but it’s got limited specs and I don’t want to bog down the other stuff running a gui and all that.
- Comment on what printers do youlike? 2 months ago:
Recently picked up a Flash forge AD5X. I been using a qidi x-pro since before auto leveling was a normal thing and I just wanted an easy and reliable machine.
Do the z-mod to get full control and honestly the thing is a work horse. Back to back prints all week without a single fail. It does Multi-Color, resonance calibration, self loads, the works. Flash forge gets some flack for not being innovative enough, but you don’t buy a prototype car for your daily driver. This thing is a reliable Toyota Camry of printers.
