  • 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.



  • 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.


  • It’s definitely not a boot print… walking on grass doesn’t just instantly turn the spot you walked on brown, and the grass isn’t crushed or snapped, it’s laying down more (because it’s brown).

    I totally get being upset about the planters as I’ve had plants ruined as well. But even if a random, underpaid, overworked delivery driver decided to take the time out of their day to potentially get fired to accomplish…???.. what good is fuming over it and spending energy being mad at them going to do? If a person did this, that’s what they want you to do.

    Depending on the age, if you tell a bunch of kids an Amazon delivery guy ruined their project, a quarter of them will subconsciously dislike delivery drivers and a quarter of them will think it’s funny and get the idea to do it themselves in the future. Tell the kids your project had an uh oh but you fed nature and that’s why we’re growing things in the first place, lesson learned.





  • Fuck Google for the double fisting, making a fucked up day that couldn’t be more terrible even worse.

    My brother in Christ, you’re eating at a buffet on a cruise ship with your family, throwing a temper tantrum over the Wi-Fi, and this is a “fucked up day” that can’t get any worse? I don’t even know how to respond to that. I really hope you’re able to gain some perspective, man. People would kill to have that be the best day of their life.













  • He’s clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

    So here’s my take on this, because I’ve seen similar personalities make similar pivots.

    This guy is a disgusting, bumbling idiot, but he speaks with certainty and condescension. The curious onlooker will see him, get trapped by the mindset you describe (“oh man, this guy’s a trainwreck, let’s see how much worse off he is than me”), find it funny and continue watching.

    After establishing some sort of “trust” with the audience (“I’m a big dumb idiot who makes you laugh”) he pulls out the manipulative speech. “You’d have to be stupid to-”; “this guy’s a retard!”; “It doesn’t make any sense”, etc. Once you get to this part of the steam, you’ve already established that the dude’s an idiot, but you also think he’s funny. You’re faced with the decision to either laugh along with his “jokes”, or “accept” that this buffoon is “more educated” on a topic than you are. The fragile, uninformed audience these people are after are much more likely to go the latter route.
