Not often, if you’re running non-fiber reinforced filaments. even standard brass nozzles can get 1000 hours on them before you start to get loss of print quality. And hardened nozzles have practically infinite life in normal plastic.

Better off getting multiple sizes though. A default 0.4mm nozzle is a nice middle ground. 0.2mm gains a ton of detail for small parts. 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles can drasticall ly reduce print times for large parts and creates better overhang/bridge surfaces.

Google probably realizes literally nobody likes WEBP and avoids using it

May be more of an AuDHD spectrum thing rather than pure adhd…

Socializing requires executive focus. I have to listen and think about what the person is doing, then figure out how to respond, which needs active thought as I’m (probably) on spectrum. It interrupts my normal brain flow. That gets tiring very quickly when it is already a lot of mental work to maintain task focus while alone.

The only machine I have that ever runs cracked Windows Server is a dedicated box for a Space Engineers server, because it’s DS is packaged only for Windows and it doesn’t run correctly in wine or proton yet.

The real key is buried in the middle, where they say hardware decode capabilities are going to be restricted to models with discrete GPUs… Meaning they can make a $500 upsell mandatory for the most basic of capabilities.

Oh thank god. This solves my problem of no good integrated cam hardware on the market that isn’t cloudified or a huge security hole.

That was part of it for sure, but even on the machines we reserved specifically for experienced users and were personally maintained by myself just had myriad issues. Every first layer had to be watched like a hawk. And they were bedslingers so knocking over prints was a semi common occurence too.

When I was in college, often yes, as the “free” thing was typically a textbook I needed to actually pass a class.

Nowadays? Meh, I probably don’t need that random movie that bad. I have so little time for entertainment that if I can’t get it from a torrent site in a few minutes I just find something else.

That means the peak is here. The insider of all insiders sold? Dump everything!

I do, and it’s one of the reasons I bought a Bambu (pre-lockdown shit of course). Despite not having many hours, the prusa mk3’s my college had in their makerspace were CONSTANTLY having issues and were a lot harder to get successful prints off of. I got an x1c when i got real money after graduating and it’s given me 1200 hours of zero maintenance except grease and a couple belt tension resets.

Then you’re using the wrong browser

I did that too. Still nothing appears. There us a donation box in place of those advertisements.

There are no ads on my computer or my phone when running no adblocker.

Your network or multiple devices have been hijacked, someone is injecting ads. Some ISP’s even do this themselves to double dip profits. Run an adblocker and VPN and run virus scans.

me when i am in a “build an unusuable standard” competition and my opponent is “literally any consumer electronics manufacturer”

Ethernet over HDMI does exist as a standard, but iirc it requires the device manufacturer on both ends of the cable to have a special implementation, and also requires a special cable that has the Ethernet data lanes included. I’m not sure any modern displays implement it anymore, it kinda died because it sucked and wasn’t that useful.

I dont really blame Proton for this. Accessing anything on the internet on a clear connection and not through a VPN or TOR makes it your own damn fault when you get identified.

Ah i don’t even care about it being loud, I got a garage my printer lives in when I’m doing ASA and ABS anyway. Sounds good thanks!

Good to know. Yeah I already cal my printer for XYZ scaling semi regularly when I’m doing really critical stuff and anything I’m doing over 200mm I already plan for tolerances and match-drilling holes out. Sounds like I’m moving this to my Christmas wishlist.

How do you like your 08Max? I’ve been looking into getting a large format printer for automotive parts and it’s one of the most cost effective ones I can find on the market. Would like to know how it does for accuracy, eg how much fiddling do you need to get parts within a mm tolerance. And not sure on sovol’s firmware and parts availability.

I’d have to add my own enclosure heater but I’m already building a design to add that to my x1c so that’s not a big issue.
