Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I’ve been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I’ll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I’d like not to be necessary.
I need someone (or some two) like this locally. Sometimes the strength is needed. I also need a handy person on call because getting old sucks.
PayPal has this functionally though you have to carry a balance in your account to use it.
Indeed it is, though a clogged fdm nozzle can be pretty irritating.
I find myself in-between at the moment. I have more experience with resin printers, but I started with a cheap resin printer and a cheap FDM printer. I had a stellar accident with my resin printer this week – I forgot to bolt down the tray, which got hoisted up and hooked over the build plate, spilling lots of resin everywhere. This particular printer (which will not be named), has a big hole, without a raised edge for the arm that supports the build plate. Of course some of the resin ended up inside the printer. I cleaned what I could see, and even opened the printer to clean inside, but it was insufficient – the build arm froze on the next print. Currently it’s broken into pieces and sitting under a fluorescent light attempting to harden everything. When it’s hard, I will disassemble further and attempt to chip all the resin out.
In the mean time, my only fall back is the cheap FDM printer, which has never worked well. I bought cheap printers to experiment with. While I’ve just effed up badly, I know a lot more about what I need in a printer. I’ve ordered a larger scale resin printer (Elegoo Jupiter) and have had my eye on Bamboo for FDM. Why both? Each has advantages and disadvantages. Resin handling is a PITA, and fiber has a lot of variety (and easier cleanup).
I haven’t upgraded the fiber printer yet. I intend to, but I’d like to recover from this disaster first. ;-)
Reality has a well known left leaning bias.
Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.
