- Comment on Solar should be packaged with consumer appliances 4 weeks ago:
My (large) fridge hasn’t even pulled 1kWh today. Modern fridges are impressively efficient.
I’m steadily electrifying my life - and adding solar panels as I go.
Solar is already super modular and if you package the panels, then you rob the consumer of the ability to pick a panel that works for them (physical size for example, but where you live will also have a big impact on capacity requirements). Also, solar panels have a lifespan that exceeds most consumer appliances. I just replaced a ten year old stove but my solar panels have a 25 year warranty. The replacement cadence is very different.
- Comment on Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing. 8 months ago:
Totally agree.
Moderating models for safety is a problematic idea. Prusa then bears liability in the event that a model fails. 3D printing works only because it’s the person who physically makes the print who has the ultimate responsibility to determine if it is safe and fit for purpose.
If you don’t like the competitions, don’t take part. Personally I view them as a nice way to encourage the community to share ideas.

That’s a great, useful print. I’m firing up the printer as I type this!

Yep - I made the model.
I’m going to dig through the slicer file and see if there’s anything wonky with the number of perimeters.
