@zakatak your wife is clever. ;) Thats the cheapest decision. Print at a friends place or Makerspace.

I'd personaly recomend #prusa
I'm using different ones of them since ~8 years.
I gave one old one (MK2.5s) to a friend of mine and he's told me that it is much better than his 4 years newer Bambu.

If you won't need big print volumes go for an mini+ (with filament sensor).

If you like it nicer go for an enclosure. Original or other vendor. I'm using an Tukkari.

Feeling the siren’s song of #3DPrinting , but I do not have experience. One coworker recommends creality Ender 3, but my other coworker recommends any #prusa

My wife recommends not buying one altogether.

This morning, while weighing my options for remote printing on my #prusa MK3, I (re)discovered PrusaLink when trying to find instructions for setting up a RPi0 on the printer's pins.

After an exceedingly long first boot (after all, the Pi0 is a single-core ARM6 CPU), I was greeted with the machine's IP on the printer's screen.

Linking the printer to my Prusa account was a breeze, and PrusaSlicer just worked out of the box after logging in.

Quickly sliced something I wanted to print, and sent it remotely.

It is now printing happily.

I am OVER THE MOON after being able to resurrect this machine 😀

My venerable #prusa MK3S+ was resurrected from its ~3-year slumber.

Updated the firmware to the most recent one, dusted off the print bed, put glue on the bed, loaded up filament, and tried to print an old GCODE from the SD card, a full-plate sheet to check for leveling.

That particular file might have been generated for the MK3 (this printer was upgraded from that model), and it threw out SEVERAL errors, either related to leveling (I suspect it might have to do with the fact that new firmware expects to only level around the part, not the whole bed) or temperature.

Sliced a #Benchy, slapped it onto the SD card, and it's now doing a ~1.5-hour print like it had never stopped a day.

I'll have to see if I can get PETG working, too. If so, I'll be able to print quite a bit more things than on an 18x18 bed 😛

And I'll need to get a phone for it, for Octo4a.

Learn a lesson from me, friendos: Do not ever clean a 3D printer nozzle with side cutters. I did this a couple weeks ago removing stuck PETG and realized immediately I messed up. Prints started stringing and had other issues only after then. I ordered replacement nozzles (obxidian!) and finally got around to swapping the nozzle and taking a closer look today. Under a microscope it's easy to see that no only did I take a chunk out of one side, the bottom is uneven.

@3dprinting And now I have a parallelogram shaped gift box. This is becoming my standard gift box: fitted insert, lid with bow printed on. This was only challenging in that the heart is too complex to import into Fusion360 as an STL.

The blue and red ribbon is the same filament as the veins and arteries. The lid is the same as the stand.

A closed gift box whose top side is a parallelogram with rounded corners. It has a pink and blue bow printed into its lid.
The box is open, and the lid is upside down beside it. The box contains an anatomical heart and its display stand.
The gift box is open. The lid is lying upside down beside it. The anatomical heart and its stand are also beside it. Inside the box is an insert that has cutouts to match the heart and stand.

Tbf, when you say #Prusa Loyalists. I'm not saying you're wrong; but I do feel like there's a lot of valid reasons why someone would prefer buying a prusa machine. They're the most open source 3D printing company around. They provide insanely long firmware updates. The customer support is excellent. It's built in Europe. They're upgradeable.
All of these things have costs associated with them. And for a lot of people including myself, that's a cost i'm willing to pay

Practical movie effects: Sara Villareal & Studio Gillis

Hollywood special effects aren’t just about CGI — there’s still a world of creatures, props, and animatronics making movies feel real. Lately, more filmmakers are swinging back to practical effects. At Studio Gillis in Los Angeles, they’ve been at it for...

Using the #Prusa MK4S with MMU3 in my local hackerspace today I realized how old my old printers indeed are. Even on the slower setting the MK4S is just SO much faster than my trusty old #Anycubic Mega X, and I'm pretty sure also my highly modified i3 Mega is just barely as quick, not to mention way less of a "just works" experience. 😅
