Ya Bambu is the way to go rn

**Get a Bambu printer. Do not get an ender. **

I own quite a few 3d printers and got into it in the late 2000s with MakerBot. I have learned a lot, and have tried to drag friends into the hobby, and most of them have been highly frustrated until Bambu came along.

Please, just get a Bambu printer, right now nothing else compares. Bambu isn’t fully FOSS (firmware isn’t) but people are working on open source firmware. Their slicer software is open source.

For printing anything for a car, don’t use PLA, I’d suggest PETG, ABS, ASA, or Nylon if you get a printer that can handle that (prob more than $300). PLA will warp in a car from heat/sunlight.

A Bambu A1 is $340 without the AMS lite. If you get that and like it, I’d recommend getting the AMS lite so you can do multi color and multi material prints. It can handle PLA and PETG which should meet most hobby needs. If you want to get into actually doing robotics stuff with it more seriously, sell the A1 and get a P1P.

I just switched, looks like uber is working for me

Good

Yep, I wish more people would get this.

I’m still salty about Bernie being sandbagged. Not a big fan of how Kamala was shoved in either, but she’s impressing me more than I expected, I just hope it’s enough.

What do you give a shit about?

Sometimes finding anything to care about when you are depressed, but if/when you find something you care about beyond feeling better, you should really think about why, and if it’s healthy, lean into it.

Some people care about creating, some about building, some discover, service to others, analysis, working with their hands, being in nature. What do you gravitate towards? Some people go down a path they don’t care about, because of external pressures, or comfort, or just trying to get by.

If you don’t care to advance the career you are in, maybe it’s time to think about why.

I trust that if you know yourself enough to admit in words on the internet that you aren’t helping yourself, you are damn self aware enough to think about these things. Don’t worry about the stress of changing careers or losing progress or what other people think. Just figure out what you might care about, which paths you could see yourself going down, and mentally explore those and see what you give a shit about. Find some intersection between stuff you give a shit about and what is productive, and motivation comes. Motivation is a by-product, a secondary effect, of having something motivating to work on.

They messed up the title. It’s “Detroit become human”

Ya sadly it might be, but worth checking

Do you have renters insurance?

I love and hate this

That’s an opportunity to learn how to do camping better next time, if you figure out what works for you, it can be pretty comfortable

Buying property. You can close in 30 days, and if you are buying a bunch of property, you can hire people out to handle things and speed up the process, and if you put offers on a ton of property, you could probably close on a lot of them in 30 days. If you are waiving around $100m you could make a lot happen.

That’s easy, buy all the real estate in an area that’s for sale, scarcity will drive up the value of the properties you have bought. Economics 101.

– This is sarcasm and is poking fun of wall street buying up all the property to be landlords, the world and economy are much more complicated than this… But, it is a quick way to spend $100m in 30 days

Or they just use incognito mode

You could swap the nozzle, or do a cold pull. Honestly it would be a little challenging to explain that well over text, especially since I am not familiar with your specific printer (I’ve used and own a lot of them though). The best bet would be to look up on YouTube how to do a cold pull, or swap the nozzle. Some good YouTube channels are Teaching Tech, CNC Kitchen, and Made with Layers. Teaching Tech and made with layers are probably where you will find the best info for a beginner, but CNC Kitchen is 🔥

Interesting, I didn’t know about that. Bleeping computer has a good write up on it (I’m assuming they broke the story) https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ebay-port-scans-visitors-computers-for-remote-access-programs/

Ya lowering the speed is a good thing to try. Also, you may have a very slight clog in the nozzle which can lead to weird behavior like stringing and under extrusion

Petg tends to string a lot more than PLA, also, drying the filament can help
