This is some advanced reasoning skill you are exhibiting right now.

My guy I am on this platform. Notice how this is not reddit? The reason why I have the “strongest reaction” is not because I support reddit, but rather because I have the experience of needing to solve some really hard problem, which leads to an ancient reddit thread with a deleted comment. It sucks. It’s still worth searching, because it’s rare that the answer has been deleted, and it’s still worth clicking, because you can’t tell the good answer was deleted. So reddit company gets the same clicks and data. It just sucks for the person, because you’ve deprived them of useful information. Archive really does not search that well a lot of the time. Yes, it’s possible that brand new internet users could be convinced to get a reddit account based on your comment. But if you edited it instead to add a link to lemmy and cite why reddit isn’t useful, you would probably do a lot more for them not going to reddit. After all, deleted comments are common far before the protests.

My criticism is loud only because I am confident it is a misguided effort to say “fuck you” to “the man” that undermines the work and hobby of thousands of real people.

I assume you aren’t the kind of person who ever commented about DIY or code stuff then? If you were, hundreds of people would miss out on solutions to problems. Meanwhile, reddit and spez don’t lose a damn thing, except maybe a few hundredths of a cent here and there. If you’ve ever posted anything useful to reddit, you would be hurting people who are trying to use the Internet to help them in exchange for the idea of “getting at” some random CEO who doesn’t care.

On the other hand, if you never posted anything useful to anyone, carry on.

I will never understand the desire to destroy human knowledge out of spite.

Sounds like you’ll just end up with an ender 6. Maybe you can use that firmware and parts list and build guide?

I’d go prusa mini at this price point. It’s a really reliable little machine, and easier to build than the MK3 and others. Enders are really not worth your time, trust me, I had one.

What things are you testing? If it’s really nothing to do with the way it looks cosmetically, then you will be fine with FDM. But for mockups for reviewers, you may want to just order them SLA’d from JLCPCB. I got a part made by them and the quality was phenomenal and it was super cheap and fast. It’s slower than printing it yourself, but the quality is worlds better and you would have to order hundreds and hundreds before it costs more than buying a printer.

For figures, and especially testing things that will compare to injection molding, going FDM is a really bad idea. It’s superior for engineering parts and rapid prototyping in basically all cases, but is has terrible dimensional accuracy by comparison, and it has a ton of trouble with thin features and overhanging shapes. This is mainly because the nozzle width is orders of magnitude wider than the pixels on a resin printer, so the slicer has to get very creative with dimensions to make complex models work at all. I am a huge FDM enthusiast, but this really isn’t the right place for it.

I’m a heavy parametric CAD user, so I’m not very knowledgeable on blender, but I do know a lot of people who use it for this sort of modeling. It does actually have some really good parametric CAD plugins for when you need mesh parts to work well with precise dimensions.

This can be caused by gantry misalignment/warping, or not registering the bed mesh properly. Also, maybe the bed is warped in some way that was in the middle of the test points, so maybe a finer mesh could fix this.

One thing about the bottom edge fillets, they actually can work for small radii. More than 1.5mm will start to show issues, but because of how small curves slice, it actually works below this value.

I just bought a bigger printer. No more seams! Realistically though, plastic welding or epoxy and paint, and a whole lot of sanding.

Ok thanks, I checked the profile page and nothing was there. Turns out play store identified it as being up to date but it wasn’t, so the saved feature didn’t exist for me. Updated and now it works!

I have a very new Thinkpad (X1 extreme Gen 5) and it has been a lot of trouble. Started out with a bad battery which I had to get support to change out. A few months later one of the fans jammed, and instead of being replaceable like on older models, it was welded to the Mainboard, meaning that the entire board needed to be replaced, CPU GPU and all. A few months later, my performance took a huge hit, and I needed to get the Mainboard replaced yet again. The customer support was really great, but they definitely don’t build them like they used to.

They definitely just don’t know how to use mate connectors. I don’t prefer fusion over other CAD, but it’s not that fundamentally flawed as you say.

After switching to onshape, I have had the true revelation that it was actually solidworks fault the whole time for doing multibody modelling in a bad way.

mf I haven’t used jerboa in days and I still feel for this

Yes!!! Even though it’s called full width, it’s the card view I needed!

I think the issue is partly with the account switcher system, which seems to actually be an account combiner.

I have an account on lemmynsfw.com and an account on lemmy.world, and rather than basically letting me switch between the nsfw set of settings and communities and my normal set like other lemmy apps and reddit apps, it combines both sets of communities into one view which really isn’t ideal.

I get that this is set up differently on backend a little bit, but it would be nice if this was done more like other apps, or at least had a way to set it up like that.
