This is funny as the Vietnamese joke about Chinese this way, they have a saying that translates as, ‘the only thing they don’t eat with 4 legs is a table’

You make a good point, and it’s really the reason I have and like Prusa printers. But I do look with some envy at the bang for the buck you get with Bambu

Isn’t there a group working on open source firmware? https://hackaday.com/2024/01/09/x1plus-open-source-bambu-lab-x1-firmware/

So if they are forced to remove something, it can be re-added

Have access to a quarter million dollar scanner from about 15 years ago. It still beats the pants off anything cheaper than 8 grand these days.

You pay for software that can handle millions of points, hardware that can stream a lot of points to the pc. A wide dynamic range to scan, nice matte white, chrome or dark black objects. And raw precision to cast and track very fine details

It’s great to see what tiny issues resonate with their massive self doubt though, tiny hands or fucking couches

I have a athom smart switch plugged between the wall and the washing machine just for power monitoring. When the power is above a certain level for thirty sec, then drops below a certain level for thirty sec. It announces over the Google home that the washing is done.

Kinda true, some places develop on machines that don’t have Internet access, air gap between the sensitive data and an outward facing network

I’m on the prusa mini as my first printer and it’s done spectacularly well, the few times I’ve needed a bigger bed I’ve been able to segment the parts and glue it back together.

One thing you haven’t mentioned is where your printer will be, mine is in my living space, so noise is a big concern. Placing down a foam pad and then a paving stone under the printer stops vibrations from echoing through the table it’s on. But the bambu printers though amazingly featured for the price, are noisy beasts.

There’s a datasheet available for your resin, as there is for any volatile product. Print that for your boss and show him the health risks, mostly cancer that he’s opening himself up to liability for.

Prusa firmware is all still on github. They are using a few more machined or injection moulded parts where it makes sense for stiffness or things like the spool holder. Most of the printer and especially anything that might get revisions later is 3d printed

It does eat the pei sheets a bit, but that’s good to even out tiny marks and dings in the sheet. Like the previous poster said. It’s fine to do once in a while to refresh the surface, spring steel sheets are consumables anyway.

Scrub the bed with dish soap and a non stick scourer, dry it right away. Then print on that. Ipa only removes oils from your fingers, there’s other residue it won’t remove

Onshape has replaced fusion for me, was an easy switch.

I want to try ‘yo mother f****er’

You will be the last to be minced in the robot uprising

I’ve got a RLC 520 working beautifully with frigate and the coral module. Use the app to set it up and then block it at the router from outside Internet access if that’s a concern. I think it’s a great camera and would recommend

The crust is about 45km ish thick where you are. Get digging!

I started with it on proxmox and ran into the same issues with frigate. Though I also have a separate NAS machine running unraid that happily runs my other containers to play around with. I have enough controlled by HA that it was worth dedicating it to one whole machine to run it in the most supported way by the ha devs.

Yes I did a very similar thing, except I went bare metal on the nuc for simplicity of updates and used the backup to Google drive addon to upload and then restore from

Also abs gives off poisonous styrine vapours you must vent the fumes outside.
