Do you have any links to these videos?

I’ve been no-lifing the game since launch and have yet to see any hackers…

It’s odd that I’ve only seen complaints about there being hackers in the game in the context of the anti-cheat. Nobody that I’ve played with or any of the people in my games have complained about hackers, yet every conversation involving the TPM/ secure boot bullshit (which I agree is ridiculous and invasive) involves multiple claims of hackers.

I almost begin to wonder if anecdotal experiences are being fabricated to push a narrative, but then I remember it’s impossible to lie on the internet.

Like others have said, it’s definitely not “too good to be true” territory, but there’s so many things that can be wrong or not right with it that you’re much better off getting a new printer. Sure you might save $100 getting a used one but the chances of you spending weeks chasing a problem that you admittedly have no knowledge of diagnosing is just way too high for it to be worth it. For someone with a bunch of knowledge and experience this would be a decent deal, but so is a car with a check engine light or salvage title… could be (probably are) opening yourself up to way more headache than the money’s worth.

Yup yup yup. Former service employee. You yell in my face and complain to my boss, I’ll give you the bare minimum of what you’ll consider as “what you want” for you to shut the hell up. Come up and level with me, treat me like a person that you are asking for help, I’m gonna do literally everything I can to get you what you’re asking for and more.

The “standard bottle height”? You mean the height of the other bottle? Ain’t no standard, son. I used to open bottles that large with 30 tiny pills inside of them. Whatever bottle is cheapest to acquire en masse is that products’ standard. Now drown in plastic.

It is from the brand Elegoo. The printer is pretty dated at this point, so it’s not the one I’d recommend. There’s probably more robust systems out there.

I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong.

My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to.

I misinterpreted your original comment saying that YouTube wouldn’t lead you directly to them to mean that it would stear you away from them (which would of course require them to do the sorting you’re talking about). Yeah they don’t really give a shit, just shovel whatever they think will get you to engage.

Crazy that a person claiming to be so positive is looking at someone complaining about the struggles of poverty and says, “you deserve this life ✨✨✨”

Your entire energy screams of someone who just started the degree their parents paid for. I’m not saying that’s your actual situation, but that’s what you sound like. Your super simple easy peasy solutions to all life’s problems are akin to telling a struggling fat person that all they have to do is eat less food, and if they try to explain why it isn’t so simple, that they “deserve their reality”.

Why isn’t it in YouTube’s best interest? They don’t care if the product gets praised or trashed, they aren’t selling it, you watch the video/ ads and they’re happy

Gestures are also easily accessible by both left and right handed users, when one side hasn’t been replaced with a different function.

I figured that the second or third layer would kind of “iron out” the imperfections, but still strange that it’s occurring nonetheless.

I’ll see spots like this on some of my prints, and that tells me to wash my print sheet, but it’s never in those 45° lines like yours. I wonder if you can feel any texture difference running your fingers over the trouble spots? sometimes you can wear out parts of a textured bed and have smooth spots that are lower than the rest of the bed. It’d be really weird for it to happen in that exact pattern, though.

That is incredibly strange. The only thing I’m noting is that the error looks very similar and in the same spot on both models on the print bed… I’m assuming “consistent across prints with large flat surfaces” means that you’ve seen the issue on other models as well, to rule out a model error?

I agree that there appears to be the “remnants” of a previous print or something underneath though. Did you get the printer used?

Our libraries have mostly moved away from this model. I may have some details mixed up but I believe there was a study done that showed books were more likely to be returned without the late fee than with a fee.

Basically people will feel ashamed or embarrassed to return a book so late (or maybe in extreme cases cannot easily afford the couple dollars) so they end up stealing the book and never returning it. So now the library has to buy a $10 book because someone couldn’t pay the $5 late fee. It just makes more sense in the long run to let people bring the book back late without penalty vs not bring it back at all in fear of a fee.

Also your library will just buy more copies. Which means your taxes will go up to pay for the missing books.

Lolno. Libraries are getting funds cut. They will not buy a new copy, it will become unavailable, then those that would go to a library to borrow it no longer can, so they find it online, and the right can say “see? Nobody goes to libraries anyways”.

So, other than the enclosure and print bed, what’s actually left of the original printer?

The… Whole printer? The only thing they changed are the hot end and the control board. The entire construction of the printer, including all of the linear motion components that make these things so rock solid, haven’t been touched. Swapping those two components out isn’t anywhere close to a “custom built printer”. Besides firmware, it’s 90% stock, and it’s trivial for someone with the expertise to get a klipper profile built for something like this.

Re: first second skips. My old old car had a shitty aftermarket Bluetooth stereo that, to “save power” or whatever, would stop transmitting after a period of silence. However, it’s definition of a “period” is very generous - a split second pause for effect in a song was enough to trigger the cutoff. So any songs that had that dramatic crescendo to silent sound would get a few extra seconds.

I think it came up during my initial search a year or so ago. For whatever reason I decided it wasn’t the way to go. I know solidworks supposedly has lots of issues running through programs like wine and proton. The games I play are only Windows-only due to things like anti-cheat bullshit.

I’m unfortunately chained to my Windows install - a handful of Windows-only games I play with friends, and solidworks (I use a VM for it here and there but it’s usually easier to just use Windows). When I first jumped to Linux, though, I accidentally broke my Windows install, so I was forced to get used to it for the first month or so.
