Surprisingly cheap TBH...

What kind of shit-buckets are you people driving that requires you to turn on defrost just because it starts raining!?

I regularly drive in conditions that go from sunny to rainy, or even sunny to snow/slush...that's pretty much all our weather is where I live. I never have to start defrost mode while driving, ever. I use defrost to defrost and remove ice from the the car before I start driving, the AC keeps everything fine without me adjusting anything no matter the change of conditions while I'm driving.

Its all placed in the left/right spokes of the steering wheel, your hands shouldn't grab that part...how the hell do you grab it if that stuff is in the way!?

Oh I do, we have almost 200 days of precipitation yearly, and temperatures fluctuating wildly between days all seasons of the year.

Yes, you can operate them without letting go of the steering wheel or taking your eyes off the road.

You should have configured your AC before you started driving.

I haven't had windows fog up during a drive spontaneously since forever ago when AC became standard in even cheap vehicles since they dry the air.

It's always been a button on the left stalk at the steering wheel, and for quite a while wiper speed has been adjustable from the left scroll-button on the steering wheel as well.

That's a ridiculous amount of clothes! 15 pairs of pants...WTF!?

I have 5 t-shirts for private use, 2 for work, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants and maybe 10 pairs of socks...

Mine can 🤷‍♂️ thought that was just about normal these days actually.

Suggesting he is confusing the point of the article.

Yes touch controls, but the comment I replied to mentioned touch screens (so usually the centre console), which only contains thing you don't really need to manage while driving.

Phew im good then, my car weighs 1 ton so i can just drive with one hand right?

The wording is probably similar here, but very few critical systems are not controllable from the steering wheel.

Wipers, volume, AC, cruise control are all controlled from the steering wheel of modern cars, there's really not anything you need to do from the centre console to drive safely. If it's not a critical system, you shouldn't be using it, physical buttons or not.

It differs from country to country, but where I live you can technically be fined for it. You will also fail your drivers test if you do it.

Technically the only thing you're allowed to fiddle with, while driving, is what you can operate from the steering wheel. You're not supposed to fiddle with radio, AC etc. from the center console while driving even if it's physical buttons.

I know people don't drive like this, but you're only allowed to take your hands off the steering wheel for changing gears if driving a manual, otherwise it's two hands on there at all times...technically

You also can't do whatever the fuck you want with someone else's property, which IMO supersedes the "getting to know the merchandise". If the terms of the seller is not sufficient, don't buy it. Or do buy it, try it out (without damaging or breaking it), and exercise your right to return if you don't like it. But don't fuck around with it unless you both agree or you pay.

You can do whatever the fuck you want...once you've paid for it.

I'd say the wavy-pattern is because you're a bit too close and squishing too hard. Try to increase Z-offset (increase distance to bed) in something like 0.005-0.01mm steps and see if it improves.

I'd avoid all the anycubics except for the basic Kobra 2. All the new Kobra 2 models seem to be locked down with proprietary firmware and locked to their own platform, but the basic Kobra 2 is completely open as can be easily flashed with e.g. Klipper.

I have the Kobra 2 with klipper running instead of anycubics firmware, and it's OK. Its obviously a cheap printer, so don't expect excellence, but I'm satisfied with it as my first printer.
