3D printing has given me the ability to engage in my decades long foam blaster hobby in a completely new way. So glad to see how accessible it is now.

Somewhat serious question: What would these people do for gloves?

Yeah the fact that it’s definitely even come up as a discussion topic isn’t reassuring. Just wanted to add it to the discussion.

For completeness it’s worth mentioning that they posted a response to a lot of the more extreme allegations

Yup. 40 year old here plotting a major career shift, but I don’t know into what.

Probably the idea of asking people questions to see if you’re compatible.

It was made for me! This is my bandwidth!

Homework (Don’t open)

Totally agree! It’s seemingly gotten worse recently too. My phone is 5 years old and I was still able to replace the battery at home but it took special tools and a hair dryer. The newest Pixels and Galaxy phones look impossible to do with my current skillset.

Things like Fairphone and the HMD Skyline should be the norm going forward.

There’s a rule coming into effect in 2027 that enforces user replaceable batteries for devices in the EU. https://www.pcmag.com/news/eu-smartphones-must-have-user-replaceable-batteries-by-2027

If you can swing the added cost, I would 100% get it. I don’t do much multi color, but it’s worth it alone to just be able to have 4 spools loaded up and be able to switch between them in the slicer software. I always keep matte black loaded because it’s what I use most often, and then swap the other three slots as needed. The way I see it, even if you’re ok with having to change the spool everytine you print, you may as well have the AMS and have to switch slightly less often.

Lastly, on more than one occasion the automatic failover to another spool has saved me a lot of effort. If you suspect you’re running low on a spool, you can just load up the same color on a different slot and the print run will automatically switch over to the new spool mid-print if you run out. I was blown away by the convenience of that the first time it happened. Keeps the print moving instead of stopping and waiting for you to make the switch manually.

I recently got into this and picked up the A1 with AMS. It’s been a lot of fun to play with and other than the routine maintenance like cleaning the bed and lubing the rails, it’s been zero trouble.

Where’s Margot Robbie these days?

Effective ban of all of Kaldheim.

In 6th grade for a public speaking assignment I gave a presentation on the world wide web and described how we could eventually use it for checking your bank account or ordering a pizza. My teacher said we’d never get there.

Hope you’re still waiting on hold for that pepperoni Mrs. Z!

Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.

Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!

Oooooooh we’ve got this notion that we’d quite like to sail the ocean…

Invited a new guy to MTG Commander night. Showed up with a deck full of expensive cardboard because a deck he found online had all of them. Cool dude and still plays with us with more reasonably priced cardboard now.

In case anyone stumbles across this post in the future, I got the A1 with the AMS. It’s amazing and I’ve been really happy with everything I’ve printed so far. Been using Bambu Lab matte filament and Polyterra as well. Both work great.
