  • Yeah for multi-material printing multiple extruders are preferred, but for multi-color printing with the same material type it's just fine with a single extruder. The purging waste is crazy though, completely agree.

    My buddy described his X1P with AMS as "the iPhone experience" of 3D printing. You can't control much, but it's a seamless plug'n'play solution without any fuss.

  • If you don't mind the closed platform, you can also get the Bambu labs A1 mini + AMS Lite for around that price. From what I've heard, it works really well, albeit a bit wasteful when switching filaments due to the purging it does.

  • But that doesn't make anybody any money.

    Of course it does, there's a shitload of parts that needs to be sourced, and most people will need someone to perform the conversion. There's a substatial amount of money changing hands in that kind of rebuild.

    The bigger issue is getting the car approved for public roads after the rebuild. Depending on the country, that is nearly (if not entirely) impossible.

  • Everyone who has ever reviewed the dacia spring recommends you stay the fuck away. It's a cheap piece of crap, and a death-trap if you ever get in a car crash. Dacias consistently perform terribly in Euro-NCAP.

  • Yes there'd be less, but the amount is purely speculative and you don't know anymore than I do.

    Even if they have to go with the ad-supported model to maintain a large active userbase, that can easily be done without all the tracking. But again, they chose the shittiest option...there's really a pattern of them just being massive assholes. No matter what options they have, they'll apparently go for the shittiest one that screws over the users the most.

  • If you actually replaced with "Lorem ipsum" texts, it would probably be easy to filter the garbage from the dataset.

    Also, they probably have copies of the comments before the edits that are just not presented in the frontend.

  • Well there's apparently more than 400 million active users every month, so they could charge users a few cent per month and pay for the infrastructure entirely. But they choose to be massive privacy invading assholes.

  • I have 1kg of silica beads I reuse all the time.

    there are dozens of us...DOZENS!

  • My free Dropbox had 100gb for years, but then they decided that was too much and nerfed it to 10gb. At least I could still access my files.

  • Bruh, it's not gambling if you know you're gonna win taps forehead meme

  • With the significant difference being that a KB still works for it's primary purpose even if not actively developed on anymore. Liftoff is completely broken for a lot of the fediverse, so it's not able to do the only thing a Lemmy app is supposed to do...browse Lemmy instances.

    If you insist on keeping broken software on the list, at least make a note that is broken and not currently maintained.

  • Liftoff hasn't been touched for more than 6 months...it's absolutely abandoned, no need point people in the direction of dead and deprecated apps.

  • a dumb phone and some other machine "to fill the void"

    So a dumb phone and a stationary computer or laptop for internet access...exactly what most millennials grew up with.

  • I thought your frame acts also like a rail for wheels.

    There is a single extrusion, in the middle, running parallel to the Y axis below the bed, with rods on both sides that the bearings travel on. So it's not affected by the squareness of the frame. I would only be using a single linear rail for the Y axis.

    Likewise for the X axis, there is a single extrusion mounted between the two vertical extrusions, with rods on that the print head travels on, again this is not affected by squareness either. I would also only be using a single rail for the X axis.

    Squareness of course comes in to play when the print head is positioned relative to the bed, but I actually have decent (and consistent) print quality.

  • Hmm, fair point. I was not aware that the "cheap" linear rails would be just as bad as the design currently used. That's a bit disheartening since the current design leaves a lot to be desired and honestly isn't very good/well implemented.

    I was under the impression that the linear rails (I've been looking for ones in the $40/pcs range for 320mm length) were a better solution.

    My frame is as straight as I can get it, but that doesn't really affect the movement on X or Y axes independently, only how well the print head (X)moves in relation to the bed (Y). I have issues on the axes independently, which is not really affected by the squareness of the frame, the motor and pulleys are mounted on the same extrusion as the axis for both X and Y.

  • Easiest way is to just point qbit at the "tun0" interface from the network tab in the menu of qbit...point-click-done

  • I got "everyone else's life has ups and downs, mine is just up, up, UP!" from the graphs 🤷‍♂️

  • Not with my real name, age, gender, address, phone number or even email.

  • I have seperste filament profiles for everything, so these changes only affected my "TPU 85A" profile

  • I completely forgot about flow rate, increasing that completely fixed the issue. Thanks!
