Will it fit in the case with the nub on the back?
- Comment on anything to watch out for with 0.2mm or 0.1mm nozzle? 3 months ago:
idler tension.
depending on your print, if you want a tiny nozzle it seems likely it is some detailed figurine of some sort. maybe a miniature.
when you print very tiny structures, but retract a lot, your drive gears can chew through your filament pretty quickly.

Interestingly, at first glance, this may be possible with the nextruder as well.
- Comment on Findroid v0.15.0 is now available on F-Droid 3 months ago:
why can I not install it?
first time i just get the share button on droid-ify
- Comment on Secure Operating Systems (Microkernels seems to be the future) 7 months ago:
well, doesn’t it make sense when the business-model is to recoup R&D cost of the console with expensive games?
DRM becomes much harder once you can’t trust the system anymore.Nintendo tried to lock the system down, and got fucked by NVIDIA.
- Comment on Looking on advice on how to print this case 10 months ago:
Infill has massively diminishing returns. I don’t think 100% is required. Usually it’s much better to increase the number outer layers.
That said, depending on the cost scaling, the possibly positive effects of extra mass, and how much I want to avoid a second attempt, massive objects can make some sense.PLA becomes brittle with moisture (from your hands and/or air). I would recomment PETG / ASA / ABS (ascending order).
Yes, basically all CAD and slicers (3d-printer software) can mirror. PrusaSlicer for example can mirror and then save to stl again.
- Comment on Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs. 11 months ago:
It’s not necessary.
At best it’s because this way they don’t have to differentiate between networks, and make the system a bit easier for Bambi themselves.
At worst they want to lock you into an ecosystem they want to build and steal a ton of models people make. - Comment on Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs. 11 months ago:
I don’t think it’s necesarrily nothing, as sending all of that data is so comprehensive it should be communicated clearly by bambu, and it seems (but I don’t know!) That it isn’t.
Sometimes you might want/need help and don’t want to send everything.For a lot of stuff partial gcode / sensor data around the issue should suffice for example.
But it sounded way worse before the clarification, when I understood that it was sending those logs all the time.
The open source license issues will be interesting, but probably irrelevant. We already can be rather sure that they already are in violation with BambuStudio and no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it.

- Comment on Prusa or Bambu? 11 months ago:
The only thing I think the Mk4 is missing is a camera / octoprint support, but I can live without those.
Firmware 5.1 enabled octoprint support.
Not as far as they’d like, but it works. From memory what is missing is some support when Local and Octoprint mix (i.e. when you print locally, octoprint can’t stop the print. Bit annoying but far from a dealbreaker imho) - Comment on Prusa or Bambu? 11 months ago:
A lot of people seem to to think that bedslingers are inherently worse than core xy kinematics.
Core xy is definitely more compact.
In return the belts are longerz tightening them more complex (x and y can become unaligned).
Core xy can be easier for input shaping, as only the z axis mass changes. - Comment on Prusa or Bambu? 11 months ago:
I bought Prusa.
I hope to be able to still use the machine in 10 years.
I’m much less confident that BambuLabs machines will be able to do that, than Prusas. This is because of multiple reasons:- There are design decisions of Bambu that I do not trust (bushings on the x-axis on p1 and x1 machines), which track with the decisions of DJI which I didn’t like and where many of Bambus people came from.
- I much prefer to support a comparatively independent european maker than a chinese-bank backed one.
- I do trust Prusa much more to offer long-term support than Bambu
- I prefer to support Open Source, and I do think Bambu is still violating licenses (which imho should not be supported/accepted)
- I do not like Bambus AMS design. Their reliability costs quite a lot of filament.
But Bambu has Prusa beat on price for similar performance. By a significant margin.

- Comment on I was able to completely migrate from Fusion 360 To FreeCAD 11 months ago:
No, I’m not even sure that this feature doesn’t currently exist
- Comment on I was able to completely migrate from Fusion 360 To FreeCAD 11 months ago:
yeah that works, but if you want a+20mm or a*1.5 etc, doesn’t work so well.
- Comment on I was able to completely migrate from Fusion 360 To FreeCAD 11 months ago:
You mean, that? youtu.be/x7_KgeLOcKY?feature=shared
No, I meant even easier, In a single (more complex) sketch, I can’t just reference another dimension by clicking on it (as far as I know at least)
- Comment on I was able to completely migrate from Fusion 360 To FreeCAD 11 months ago:
Learn how their parametric references. On the one hand it’s a bit annoying when you can’t click something to use as a reference.
On the other hand being able to use any length as a reference is really nice.Named dimensions can be referenced for example by: Constraints.MainStrutLength*1.25+20mm Or a pad dimension with Pad017.Length2 (from memory) Or a dimension in a sketch in a pad:
Pad018.Sketch018.Constraints.SecondaryStrutLength4 - Comment on I was able to completely migrate from Fusion 360 To FreeCAD 11 months ago:
Have you tried realthunders freecad fork?
I’ve recently been told that it would be vastly better than upstream due to massive fixes in the hierarchy/timeline, making changes much more likely to work.I haven’t tested it though, so no Idea if it’s actually true. github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/releases
- Comment on Bambu X1C Purge and Prime 1 year ago:
No direct experience here. A friend has one, he’s quite experienced with printing, so I assume he got it dialled in well. Recently he talked about a small mandaloroan helmet he printed (mostly grey, but black in the parts that really would be a hole). About 10cm high. He had about the same amount of filament in waste as actual print.
- Comment on Any electroluminescent filaments for 3D printing? 1 year ago:
Or UV filament with a UV light
- Comment on What are the best zoom alternatives? 1 year ago:
nextcloud talk can also be an alternative (open source and self-hosted).
but I think the whole nextcloud suite is more suited as a hub for a (small?) business, not necessarily great for, lets say, family videocalls (due to the necessity of having an administrator who runs it).

interesting that this opinion is so hated.
I agree with you, and would like to hear why people seem to consider this opinion invalid.
- Comment on Make sure not to underestimate the brilliance of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' as it proves to be an exceptional movie! 1 year ago:
I concur with the first part.
There was just nothing enjoyable about it for me.

- Comment on What's your opinion of Anytype? 1 year ago:
I think it may be decent, but the homepage is not convincing me.
I had a tiny little look, and don’t like that I had to log in (although selfhosting seems to be possible since very recently), and then had a weirdly full notebook. It also seems like they don’t save their data in nice little markdown files, but use some custom database-stuff.
They probably allow exporting into markdown, but I’d prefer it to be stored in a legible format.Overall, I had a look, and I’ll stay with logseq + syncthing
- Comment on The new $300 Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro 1 year ago:
Phew, after having tried some cheap printers, I don’t think I’d ever recommend one again without the caveat “you may get lucky, you may not. If you want a tinkering project they’ll be great, if you want a printer, they may be good.”
Last one I had had the heater cartridge die, the leveling sensor die and be too stupid to properly communicate via USB (a typo in the protocol meant that Octoprint was waiting for receive-confirmations). Together with terrible support which took literally the whole month I had the thing, to answer about the first issue (and not actually help).
Maybe Elegoo is better, but I doubt it.
Also, I’m not conviced of the Aluminium-profile+wheel guiding system.
