  I know this website seems sketchy/scammy AF, but I found that these actually do a good job dimming the LEDs to reasonable levels, but keeping them visible.

  I imagine (mostly because of all the “patent pending” bs) that this is a film you just just buy from somewhere else way cheaper, I just don’t know what it is.

  Nothing near that impressive. I don’t make the fancy sand, I just move electrons around with fancy sand that someone else made, aka programming.

  Nah, there’s no real meaning to my username. It’s just some random letters that are vaguely pronounceable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you create?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this one. I just meant programming.

  I organize electrons in ways that make fancy sand organize more electrons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d personally look for a used Prusa i3 MK3[S[+]]. Part of that is personal bias, it’s what I still print with (specifically the MK3S variant, I haven’t bothered to upgrade it to +), but in all the years I’ve had it it’s been an absolute workhorse and has very much thrived on the copious amount of neglect I’ve given it. The only thing I’ve ever done to it is install firmware updates and occasionally smear some grease on the smooth rods with a finger. Still, every time I print with it, it just works.

  Prusa just announced a new printer so there might be a little wave of them being put up for sale.
