What kind of certification do you need to take your clothes off and play volleyball with your friends?

Shooting a gun is very rarely legal here. Boners are better than gun Boners

Fucking is legal, selling is legal. Why isn’t selling fucking legal?

You make a good point, and it’s really the reason I have and like Prusa printers. But I do look with some envy at the bang for the buck you get with Bambu

Isn’t there a group working on open source firmware? https://hackaday.com/2024/01/09/x1plus-open-source-bambu-lab-x1-firmware/

So if they are forced to remove something, it can be re-added

Have access to a quarter million dollar scanner from about 15 years ago. It still beats the pants off anything cheaper than 8 grand these days.

You pay for software that can handle millions of points, hardware that can stream a lot of points to the pc. A wide dynamic range to scan, nice matte white, chrome or dark black objects. And raw precision to cast and track very fine details

One thing you haven’t mentioned is where your printer will be, mine is in my living space, so noise is a big concern. Placing down a foam pad and then a paving stone under the printer stops vibrations from echoing through the table it’s on. But the bambu printers though amazingly featured for the price, are noisy beasts.

The despecialized edition uses a ton of cleaned up shots that don’t change in a story sense but have grain and wires and other compositing errors cleaned up. These are new works. Even the VHS release and any HD releases could be considered new works as the colour and sound would have been tweaked for each format.
