  • Hey congratulations! I hope you enjoy owning a printer!

    I had a very similar experience building my first printer (a Prusa MK3S) a bit over five years ago. I’ve rebuilt it a couple of times since.

    That experience is serving me well as I build a Voron 2.4R2 (with ASA parts printed on the MK3S). The learning curve part appears to be largely behind me, and owning the Prusa did help ease that since they make a lot of things pretty easy.





  • You’d be surprised. I worked for Blockbuster Video multiple times, and there was a population of customers who LOVED the ripoff versions of movies. Snakes On A Train for instance.

    I asked one of these customers one time what the draw of these movies was because he knew that they weren’t the originals. He told me that they served as something he could put on in the background and not feel guilty about only half paying attention to it.

    I guarantee that guy is streaming that same garbage constantly today.



  • Let’s not absolve HR from their hand in this process. They’re the ones that setup ATSs based on keywords they don’t understand, and they’re the ones that do initial contact and interviews, in general anyway.

    I’ve worked at quite a few organizations at this point in my life, and only rarely did a hiring manager get more say than a choice among the pre-selected pool that HR provided. When that wasn’t the case for me, it was because the company or organization was too small to have a full team handling HR stuff. Once it was the company’s accountant (sweet lady though).

    You’re not wrong, but HR doesn’t really add much to this process when the people with the experience and understanding to choose better employees don’t get to participate until a second round.









  • If nothing else already suggested works for you, let your printer bed warm up to temperature and sit for a while (“heat soak”).

    If you have auto bed leveling, what can happen is that thermal expansion will change your bed level after the probe has run, so by the time the first layer is printing, calibration is off. Granted, this is less likely with PLA, but like I said, if nothing else works.
