  • So far that’s been my experience. I’ve done a number of very simple models in blender even. Sliced and printed them no problem. Every model I’ve downloaded has been just point and click for the most part. I was looking at getting an Ender myself at one point. But I’ve dealt with SLA printing in the past. And know how much the tinkering put me off of it. I still need to get my Mars printer functioning again. I’m having issues with anything sticking to the build plate. I just haven’t had the time to really dick around with it


  • The Ender and creality are good systems. But as you said they do require a lot of tinkering. My very technically inclined brother-in-law got an Ender last year. And had a very bad time with it because of all the faffing about you had to do. Conversely this year I got an a1. And it’s more or less been point and click. There’s plenty of other technical stuff to get into with it. Such as filament types feeds and speeds and heats. Supports and infills. Which it also helps out quite a bit with. But there’s more than enough to learn just picking it up


  • Bambu has their printer software available for all major platform. For Linux I think it was in the Arch extras or aur. I have used it from Linux and it has generally been a good experience.

    If someone is an fdm newbie. The A1 series is hard to go wrong. Creality is great too. But it takes a lot more tweaking to get it where the bambu is out of the box. BIL got an ender last year and not had a good experience. I got an A1 this year and it’s been a blast from the start. These are all anecdotes. But personal experience to consider.

    Perhaps. Though it still hilariously transparent how many act like the Democrats are the problem and not the actual fascists. Democrats certainly aren’t the solution. They’re not even remotely the biggest threat either. One of these days after it’s far too late you all will get your priorities straight eventually. I mean even stalling eventually stood with the United States against his former Ally against Poland.

    Things will continue to get worse till the voting populace finds solidarity. Fascists love it when we are divided. And many so-called leftists act like they are God’s gift if you politics despite having nothing to show for it. I hope you all have a chance to explain the people you failed. How it was important for you to maintain your ideological Purity than actually do anything to help anyone.

    No they literally don’t. They owe the people who largely Finance the party. And they deliver for those people. While voters every 4 years break records for small donations in presidential elections. Every year in between we do a whole lot of nothing in general for them. Then we childishly wine and throw a tantrum when the president that we held our nose to elect does not have support in the House and Senate to actually get anything done for us. It’s not in every 4-year thing. It’s a multiple times a year thing. It’s a showing up enough to change the course of the primaries and seeing them through the general thing. And running the people we would like to see thing. If we all just sit around and take whatever they’ll give. That’s on us.

    Yours is the first mention of anyone owing anyone anything. But let’s phrase it this way. If we don’t owe them anything. Then they also don’t owe us anything. Therefore it’s ridiculous and hypocritical to complain that they didn’t deliver on XYZ for us. They didn’t owe it to us.

    All I was implying was solidarity. If we the voting population are so ignorant as to not know the difference between abject fascism. And people who, while they don’t excite us. Don’t propose a massive slide into authoritarianism and brutal repression. Or cannot feel obliged to do whatever possible to keep fascists from the levers of power. That is absolutely on us. I didn’t vote for harris. I voted against trump. Unfortunately for more people than should be acceptable wanted fascism. Or at least didn’t find it motivating enough to hold their nose and vote. Which again is on us. If we want Democrats to do better. We also need to do better.

    Well I’m not here to defend liberals. They’re generally useless. Not an actual solution to any existing problems. But in this case there was simple well documented precedence.

    When it comes to stopping fascism. We the voting population share a significant part of the blame ourselves. Democrats ran an abjectly horrible campaign, its true. But when they’re torn between two opposing pillars of power. Disaster was always on the menu. We “can” vote them in to power. Buy we aren’t reliable about it, and can’t provide funding for messaging and outreach the way wealthy oligarchs can. We used to be able to do it. But that was before Reagan broke the unions.

    Trump already pardoned his son-in-law’s father. There’s not even a precedence here to be set. Now I suppose there could be the worry of normalizing an already bad precedent. But Republicans have always sought to overturn or counter precedence And never cared about normalization beforehand period They have the media to normalize it for them after the fact Period
