I know, it still feels a little out of touch though.

A PS5 costs more than the median monthly salary in Zimbabwe.

That's how you get Aurora Borealis in your kitchen.

You might be less of an outlier than you think, just read the replies to this comment

Had to work with two Creality CR-5S printers, which had those. Every time I tried doing a multicolor print, it would work(ish), but would then proceed to clog itself to high heavens. I'd need to take everything apart.

That's where Google Chrome got its name, AFAIK.

For those that don't have the F keys handy, try Ctrl+Shift+R

You can also design and orient it in a way that avoids overhangs and makes for a better print. I think this looks great, but doesn't really look like something designed to be printed on an FDM printer (on first sight).

The render looks nice, the print, less so.

Looks like it would wear high heels.

I also got a new citizenship a couple of months ago, but since it's my 3rd one, it almost passed unnoticed. I think the best thing to "happen" to me this year was the decision to sell the car and replace it with an electrically assisted cargo bike.

Would that be equivalent to PrusaSlicer's "automatic painting"?

Honestly, militant is probably not the right word. But I work with Prusas at my workplace, and the idea of buying a non-Prusa printer actually irks me.

In my opinion, the only disadvantage is the cost.

But even the cost difference might get recouped later on, if Prusa continues releasing upgrade kits the way they've been doing it for the i3 line. Support is also excellent. I broke a thermistor while upgrading a printer, and they sent me a free replacement because it was unclear if it was my fault or not.

Another disadvantage might be that you'll become a militant Prusa fanboy, and never look at another brand again ;)

would recommend using an enclosure for all prints anyhow, even pla gives off some nasties as far as I recall.

I just have to clarify that this is only useful if your enclosure also has a filter.

If I were to buy a budget 3d printer right now, I'd probably buy the Sovol SV06 Ace. I dont have any firsthand experience though, I've only ever worked with Prusas at work.

You should try non-filtered water with your coffee machine and see if it makes a difference in taste. Some coffee aficionados actually re-add minerals after filtering the water

Zerowater removes all dissolved minerals from the water, which is actually bad for you if you only drink that.

I mean, I'm married and neither me or my partner have a ring.

Imagine being dragged by the bullet all the way to its destination.
