I’ve seen A LOT of scams lately selling all sorts of things "new" for half (or less) of retail price. Scammers (the ultimate greedy people) have figured out how to weaponize the greed of naive people (getting something for nothing.)

Be weary of deals that are too good to be true.

$100 for a better chamber air system, faster printer quieter printer that can occasionally* also do much better support material or much faster 2 color prints is compelling.

*for my needs

At the first rumors of the X2D with the 2nd nozzle being a bowden extruder, I had no interest in the machine. Now that all the details are out, most importantly the price being only $100 more for a number of improvements over the P2S, I'm interested.

As much as people complain about AI, I’ll take it 7 days a week to hold my hand when dealing with seldom used Linux commands vs the bad old days of posting a help message to a online forum, waiting, only to be told "read the instructions" "asked and answered, search before you ask for help!"

Proud of myself. Finished off 6 mostly empty filament spools of random colors, including two oversized spools that don’t fit in an AMS. Only 400 spools left now…

I think this is more for people that already have every other 3D printing gadget and still have spare money. 100% recycling is more or less a pipe dream, the quality is sh*t.* Always needs to be a blend to make useable "new" plastic.

* based on my experience with injection molding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is interesting. Creality might be getting into the home filament recycling game:

Turned on the 3d printers for the first time in 6 months. Now updating firmware, drying filament and desiccants, cleaning build plates. Let’s see what decided to self-retire while in storage.

What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces

Apple was stupid easy to cancel a subscription for something I haven’t been using and I replaced it with a subscription at Apple for something I needed, so I’ll call that customer service done right.

Trying to cancel a subscription with a VPN company. They have replaced customer service with an AI chatbot. This has doubled my resolve to cancel and never do business with them again.

After 12 years, finally cut the cord on Adobe. Took a long time (far too long) to find a replacement for Lightroom, but Photomator finally hit 80ish% of the feature set (good enough for my needs) and I took the leap. If Adobe hadn’t got greedy and upped the monthly charge, I’d still be a customer.

Just grabbed my purple swatch box and that was my closest match too. :)

I’m wondering if there would be a way to misuse stringing to make air filters. Might have to print a few layers of them, but the unique shapes and sizes (and low cost/on demand) would be amazing!

Your puny walls can’t contain me!!!

Used up some garbage silk filament to make a tray to hold spools of garbage silk filament. This is AFTER I dried it for hours and hours.

This new slicer "fuzzy skin" is amazing!

You’ve Got No Mail.

You said to remove a letter sooooo….

Found a 1/4 spool a grade-A garbage silk PLA that I thought I threw away. Horrible stuff, doesn’t like to stick to the build plate or itself. Oozes like an open wound. Printing up a tray so I can enjoy breaking it apart (with minimal effort) before throwing it away.

Finally made an improvement to the @bambulab.bsky.social A1 that it should have shipped with: a Y adapter for one of the filament input ports. Now I can use the AMS OR manual feed with zero changeover. Good for printing one color prints with all the nonstandard spools. *cough* Printed Solid *cough*

Had to order some replacement parts for my @bambulabglobal.bsky.social original AMS. Added some build plates I’ve been wanting to get that sweet sweet free shipping.
I think I’m in love with the SuperTack PLA/PETG Cool Plate.
