I too would be curious about some documentation for this. Because I've heard it for *years*, long before the Exa deal (which tbh didn't seem all that unreasonable, they were trying to sell and operate an arcade title, something we should be in favor of you'd think) and yet it's always "I heard...

Your forum, your rules. My only feedback is even some kind of "hey folks, this thread is getting into territory we're not comfortable with, we're going to lock it" or something would be helpful vs silence. But I also think it would be very funny to just lock this thread without any notice.

Perhaps there's a Darksoft multi coming and they don't want a competitor being promoted in their forum? But they're not ready to announce it, so stealth locking. It's one of the quirks of this place—which I totally appreciate existing—it's built around products they understandably don't want...

Those stock fans are imo worthless. I ripped mine out day 1, did a similar thing with printing an adapter for my 6" ducting where the fan was, and have that inline fan directly connected instead. Honestly works awesome, that thing moves air, has no problem keeping up with smoke and fumes. Is...

Hmm, that doesn't sound like the greatest setup for your health to be honest. I can stand next to my CO2 while it cuts acrylic and barely smell anything, and definitely not ever have eye watering. I use an inline fan and exhaust it outside through 6" ducting. It's really effective. The model...

Yeah the laser is a hard pass from me. But then again I have a 50w CO2 laser, so kinda easy to say. But I agree with the limited utility of the diode lasers (cutting clear acrylic is like a laser super power, not being able to do it sucks) and the particles and soot and mess inside your nice 3D...

2FA only helps protect legit accounts from takeovers, it's not like scammers can't turn it on when they sign up for their scams. Turning off private messaging until you've posted a few messages feels reasonable to me. Yes, it will impact some legit users. But my personal feeling is that this is...

Man, I bet. I shipped the 29" version, and just crating it was a huge pain in the ass. I can only imagine how much heavier this one is. It probably wouldn't fit in the crate I used. I did get it safely from California to New York, but honestly F that, if it hadn't been a favor for a (very ex)...

Do eeeet!

The situation with Bambu is unfortunate, and I'm glad they're getting blowback. I find people like Louis Rossman unwatchable, and even though I read Hackaday daily I find their commentators often difficult to deal with. Alright. Anyway, I hope they reconsider locking out 3rd party slicers...

Nice, that's what I use. I don't love everything about it, but I can navigate it well enough to do what I need. I know for a fact my approach isn't always optimal, but always learning to do better. Glad you're enjoying it, I'm super big on preaching the joy of owning a 3D printer for everyone...

Learning CAD really opens up a whole new world when you have a 3D printer. I'd say at least 80% or more of what I print is custom instead of things I download, though that can be super useful too. Tons of great models out there. But having some plastic that's exactly what you need? Wow. I'm...

JNX products are the best, can't be beaten for your niche arcade needs!

Sorry, forgot that wouldn't make sense without context to many people. Metallica Limited Edition pinball, from 2013. They only made 500, and people, especially during lockdown, were paying stupid money for pinball and especially limited versions. Now, not only has the market cooled some since...
