I think it’s just you. Differential Transformers are pretty good at regurgitating information that’s widely talked about. They fall short when it comes to specific information on niche subjects, but generally that’s only a matter of understanding the jargon needed to plug into a search engine to find what you’re looking for. Paired with uBlock Origin, it’s all typically pretty straight forward, so long as you know which to use in which circumstance.

Almost always, I can plug some error for an OS into a LLM and get specific instructions on how to resolve it.

Additionally if you understand and learn how to use a model that can parse your own set of user-data, it’s easy to feed in documentation to make it subject-specific and get better results.

Honestly, I think the older generation who fail to embrace and learn how to use this tool will be left in the dust, as confused as the pensioners who don’t know how to write an email.

Bambu just has “future enshittification” written all over it.

I disagree. It’s the reason why everyone else is scrambling soooo fucking hard to catch up with them. The A1 is absolutely a killer value for a machine. If anyone asks about multicolor, Bambu is the only one I’ve seen that’s as reliable as it needs to be. I cannot recommend anyone else for multicolor.

There are quite literally not any machines out on the market that even come close to Bambu with their multitude of sensors. They’ve got tangle sensors, they’ve got programming that will detect blobs or disconnects of prints from the bed – really - nobody comes close.

I run a repair shop, and the Elegoo Neptune 4 is actually quite nice. The hot end is way easier to repair than the 3 and it’s quite fast as well. Seconding this one. Downside is that they use a custom-length nozzle. But everyone seems to be doing that now.

The Sovol line of printers is good too, especially the SV-08 - It brings the voron into the world where it’s not just a trophy printer that proves you can handle the worst of things.

MythTV solved this long ago. We already have the tech to bypass this shit.

It’s called an advertisement. Why are you seeing them? Are you just over here rawdogging the internet without uBlock Origin?

Please continue to forget about that cancer site.

This is normal for vase mode, unless you have the bottom disabled. You’re doing normal, full layers there probably. What does the print look like? Is this even so much of a blemish that you should bother?

Pretty sure QC is down at 0,0 right now. They haven’t gotten it to work in the way it’s been envisioned yet. The theory is there, but until something is quantifiably working, there’s basically no hype behind it.

If I remember correctly, the issue was they were moving to sandboxing and NPAPI plugins had a lot of issues with security at the time. There was a new flash vulnerability almost every week, and usually it meant getting a lot of control over the browser.

Fine. Yes.

The Pico never really took off, honestly. I doubt this thing is going to fly off the shelves or anything.

Also nearly 1/3rd of all homes in the USA are purchased with cash, no financing.

Well, when Russia is killing people who say mean things about them in other nations and not just on their territory, and China has a similar history…

Then you’re talking about putting a device with questionable intentions that you can’t verify on your home network? On your work network?

China has been specifically caught in the past, installing things on their devices meant for out-of-country shipment, specifically for the purposes of espionage.

Really wish they transitioned to a “Not-for-profit” structure, rather than non-profit. Non-profits can still be profit driven, sadly.

Did you miss the qualifier “that uses explosive charges”? The engineering challenge is in the explosive part.

Projectiles are a part of human nature. We’ve always thrown spears, rocks, etc – firearms are just an extension of our better understanding of the world. I know of barely anything else that uses explosive charges that is as widely applicable to the general public. Roofing nail guns? But that’s such a niche subject, it’s not something people are really worried about trying to make with 3D printing. Believe me, if I had a better engineering challenge for 3D printing, I’d be suggesting it. But nothing quite hits like containing an explosive charge, and utilizing the energy in a way that performs work without destroying itself.

I used to run the 3D printing community on G+ at around 500k strong, (about 10k weekly active users according to Google’s stats) and I ended up actually pissing off a lot of my European users because of this. My viewpoint on it, was as an engineering exercise – it’s an amazing thing. It’s not advocating for guns, and guns aren’t only used to kill other people. So I stood up for the guys posting about their engineering challenges, and their work making 3D printed parts for a machine with high impact loads and loads of cycling issues.

Unfortunately, it lost me some friends, like Gina Haubage and Tomas Sanladerer – as they disagreed highly; and wanted to ban anyone posting firearms related 3D printing content.

Oh, the strain gauge sensor. Never heard anyone call it a PRTouch before. It should be plenty accurate, most high end CNC houses use similar tech in their probes.

What in hell is a “PRTouch”?

I know of a BLTouch, the CR-Touch, 3DTouch (off brands and knock-offs) but first time I’ve ever seen any mention of “PRTouch”.

Hell yeah, thanks. Sometimes I get where I can’t see things right in front of me, this was a huge help :)

Can you point out where? Even knowing that it’s there and looking I can’t seem to spot it.

I mean, they’ve been all over Reddit running accounts for decades at this point, no? At this point I feel like 75% of my interactions on mainstream sites are going to be from foreign agents and/or bots.
