wait... you can do that?
Can I learn this power?! how does one learn this power?

next, you'll tell people the door close button in elevators doesn't actually work.

Snuggles? Be cute and snuggly.

Like... we switched to meeting on discord and I scribbled out updates to the 'table' in paint. none of the VTT's were flexible enough for the homebrews I was cooking up, though.

macgyver always carried a few slices... in case he needed an industrial sealant....

I've got a neighbor whose cat is veritable feline Houdini... he gets out every so often. And usually, it's to come over to my green house and steal carrots. (yeah, don't ask. he doesn't eat them. doesn't take them home. We have no idea what he does with them.)

Don't ask questions. just embrace it. (I've gotten to catsit Sykes on a few occasions now. the old man is a blast.)

He did microwave his cell phone, so, he probably does that kind of stupid shit all the time.

But we like the dark.
Darkness, for dark deeds.

That’s what he said.

And you have no idea how disappointed she was.

Classic.

This is because you are his. you belong to him. and you're infinitely more comfortable than that stupid little bed thing....

tell me, does this fit the F710, or will I need a different part...

(edit: @heavyboots, it didn't seem to work... darn. )

you have to understand, my dad's a unix sysops guy. it was quite a lot of spare parts... (mostly machines older than my 486, which was also hand-me-down.)

Also, that imagery might be closer to reality...foam sword and all.

I’ve played with extruding my own- basically using chips from failed prints and heater cartridges in what’s basically a giant hot end.

The problem I have is consistency of diameter. my set up was a vertical extruder using 2” black pipe that had a melt zone of around six inches before hitting a tapered out brass “heat block” that came down to the 3mm nozzle.

It was almost impossible to maintain a consistent extrusion.

People are playing with it more now, so it’s possible I’m missing solutions

Do me a favor? Give the birthday boy some birthday scritches (or whatever they like…) for me?

My advice is to get the best printer within your budget. Remember that printers usually have additional costs- especially the low-cost models like creality printers.

Solid choices to look at are the Prusa mk4s, uktimakers are also a solid choice.

I would suggest before getting a creality look for the number of upgrades catered to them- and then realize that’s because that’s what people generally find important to upgrade.

They’re not always necessary (angle supports, for example) but in general, crealities will need new extruded gears and hot end, if it doesn’t come with ABL, then a bl touch (and probably a new board,). This is in addition to the printable upgrades (like part cooling ducts,).

Generally anything in the price range of an ender 3 is going to need some love. Which, might have some arguments for as a learning curve… but that learning curve is not as gentle as with other printers. You might save a little, but you will out grow them quickly.

Regardless, stay with it! My dad described 3d printers as feeling like it did with very early computers and his Commodore 64. (Aka very exciting.). Of you need help reach out - this is a great group, there’s also the prusa forums (and repository for stls,)

Why klipper? Firmware’s are a bit more advanced and most printers come with marlin as stock. If your printer still uses a 16bit board… sure, klipper has advantages, but on the modern 32bit boards… needing a pi is a big problem and marlin is competitive.

Marlin + octoprint is extremely powerful. I would suggest the only real advantage is the editable confit files- but seriously, how often are you changing settings?

Two slices, you say?
