Have you considered lasercutting or CNC milling as well? And what about lithophanes?

3D printers are highly accessible to people, even people with no technical knowledge can just buy one, download models and have it print successfully. Selling 3D printed parts pretty much only works if you do design as well and not many people request something like that. I don’t think you can make a feasible business out of 3D printing alone.

And there is mechanical design and aesthetic design, which both are completely different practices. I mean things like making a TV mount or a tube holder vs making a detailed Warhammer 40K model. You need different software and skills for both of them and it consumes a lot of time to do well.

CNC milling and lasercutting is not as wide spread as 3D printing is so you could still end up finding people interested in objects made this way.

Hey man, it’s an honest business owner. That’s an extremely rare sight.

The IT folk doesn’t have any power in big companies. They get told what to install by higher management. And higher management usually knows fuckall about computers but does listen to consultants and fancy buzzwords which is something Microsoft is insanely good at.

Time to clean your keyboard.

Kept ya waiting huh?

Okay so if I want to print a gun I’ll just tighten an eccentric nut or belt tensioner. Lol

I think a dual nozzle system is already good enough for most users. Especially when your print area is large enough to make it feasible.

WAF had me laugh out loud.

Not worth the microplastic. Just put a sticker over it.

To cry in when you forget your keys I suppose.

Nanomachines son!

Talent at Microsoft? The only thing they’ve done the past decade is make their product worse.

Lower speed means less flow through the nozzle and warmer plastic. It will have more time at the melting temperature and therefore stick better to the previous layer.

The devils lettuce is also lettuce, right?

I’ve used milk jugs as plant pots before. It’s food safe material and you can easily design a build around it. Better not have anything 3D printed come into contact with food.

Found the Elden Ring player.

The fan ducts are in the Printables link. They are designed for the rod system so if you can find 10mm rods long enough for an Ender 5 Plus it should work.

It wasn’t worth it back then never mind now. It’s as generic as it gets and the only thing it has going for it is additional FF7 lore.

Idk about India but here in the Netherlands almost all google reviews are fake. They’re not a good indicator of quality.

It’s much easier to install Linux these days than it is to install Windows. And with KDE Plasma the user experience is really similar. As for the distribution I would suggest OpenSuse as that has very little requirement for terminal commands, they’ve packaged GUI elements in the whole distro.

As for Tumbleweed vs regular, that’s up to you. I’m happy with Tumbleweed.
