Perhaps not helpful for most people, but Add:North offers recycling for PLA which you have bought from them.
It ought to be mandatory to write this out whenever talking about Linux. I’ve seen more than one person bash Linux in a public forum “because it has digital rights management built into the kernel” after they’ve misinterpreted some news headline.
Maybe they’re afraid of accidentally writing rm -rf folder/.git /*
or something
Did you try running xev and pressing the key to see if it shows up as something?
Never bought any, but I was looking at this type of automatic extinguisher: https://www.firerescue.eu/en/automatic/1027-viper-car-automatic-extinguishing-system.html
Yep. I also like the 3D Printing Discord server, since many there have first hand experience with multiple printers. It’s of course also interesting to hear about the experience those who only own a single printer have had, but occasionally someone claims the printer they own is a great choice for beginners despite having spent hundreds, and countless hours, on fixes and upgrade to get it in a usable state :D
Most printer companies send out review units to a bunch of youtubers
Unfortunately this also means that it’s not easy to know which reviews you can trust. Even if some youtuber isn’t paid in cash for a positive review, it’s still in their interest to make the manufacturer happy so they keep getting free stuff in the future. Neither does it help that most reviews have affiliate links, so they have an additional financial incentive to convince you to buy the product.
Very nice speedups for people running CPU inference on supported hardware, but unfortunately does not help CPU+GPU split according to comment on one of the PRs… That person says that for prompt evaluation, where these kernels would make a difference, llama.cpp performs all the calculations on the GPU. And during token generation it is IO-bound, so the faster CPU calculation becomes negligible.
MyTechFun also has a lot of material tests, and while perhaps not ideal from a usability standpoint he posts detailed Excel sheets with all the data.
Blog post with the same info, for people who don’t like watching videos.
So it’s supposed to be 15 hours/month included with your premium subscription? Since I’m not familiar with how Spotify audio books work, I thought you meant that you had a free account and was allowed to listen 15 hours to books that would be included/unlimited with a premium subscription. Contact support if it ate through your monthly credits faster that it should. If you’re a paying customer supports are usually quite helpful.
I’ve been using Intel NUCs, even though they have a lot of issues and start failing after about 3 years of heavy use. Previously used Kodi on Arch, but with the latest NUC I decided to go with Xubuntu and for some reason video playback doesn’t work in Kodi now. So instead I just use VLC media player for TV/movies and a web browser for everything else. Got a Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard which makes it easy to control the computer from the couch.
I agree with half your statement :) There are other cheap brands that are just as bad as Creality, or possibly even worse.
Less than a year after that mail Swedish laws were rewritten to make copying music and movies illegal.
From what I’ve heard Microcenter frequently has a deal for “new customers” where you can get an Ender 3 Pro for $99. Though it’s a pretty old printer by now, and while getting some mods would do a lot for it, I think I would rather get something like a Sovol SV06 unless $200 is a hard limit.
This is assuming you’re interested in an FDM printer, and might not apply as much if you’re shopping for resin printers.
I like this list of 3d printers, it is maintained by users of the 3D Printing discord server, who I know have first hand experience with multiple printers. Unfortunately it’s not been updated with the latest models, such as Sovol SV07 and Ender 3 v3 SE/KE.
There are sadly a lot of fake reviews and paid youtubers out there, so it’s difficult to do your own research when it comes to buying tech nowadays. I fell for this and ended up with an Ender 3 v2 which I wasn’t happy with before I had spent an additional €300 and many hours on modding it (though I didn’t go for the cheapest mods, it could’ve been improved for less). Don’t trust anyone who has a strong preference for a single brand. Most cheap Chinese brands have managed to design both a few good or at least decent printers, and several bad/flawed printers.
Creality is probably the most known brand when it comes to budget printers. They got a good reputation with the original Ender 3, but after establishing their position as market leaders they began using lower quality components, and appeared to have non-existing QC. IMO they also failed to keep up with the competition and ended up selling outdated and overpriced printers for several years, while paying youtubers for good reviews. Ender 3 S1 was a step in the right direction, though a bit expensive and still a gamble with QC. Ender 3 v3 looks quite promising and actually competitively priced, so hopefully they’ve got their shit together again but I think it’s too early to tell.
Do not buy from Amazon if you have other options. Their permissive returns policy can be a double edged sword in this case. 3d printers are high precision machines, and with companies competing to make them as cheap as possible there’s always a risk of a manufacturing/QC fault. It can be something really subtle, like holes drilled 1mm off or a bent aluminium extrusion, which is difficult to “debug” even for an experienced user but near impossible for a beginner. These faulty printers are often returned to Amazon where they are repackaged to look like new and sold to some other unsuspecting customer. This is less of an issue with new models, but it has happened that people have had to return multiple printers before getting a fully working unit when buying a model that has been on the market for longer.
When you get your 3d printer, find a comprehensive guide to calibrating it and go through every step. Don’t touch the build plate with your hands more than necessary, fingerprints ruin adhesion.
Any possibility that you’ve accidentally modified something in the automatically generated part of the config, so its failing to read the saved value? Perhaps you could attach your entire printer.cfg?
There are tons of options for running LLMs locally nowadays, though none come close to GPT4 or Claude 2 etc. One place to start is /c/localllama@sh.itjust.works
No and I hate it :( Even if there are a few legit review sites still around it’s near impossible to find them among all the fake reviews being pushed by search engines
