Define “rapidly”…

Yeah it also doesn’t mean the bench is dead or off the market, only that you have to use their model and cannot modify it.

Money

You can donate to Godot without making an account too, that’s only needed if you want to make a recurrent donations (through their system)

I didn’t even mention a specific coin.

Not a specific coin no, but to another you did write “If Godot accepted cryptocurrencies I use, then I would donate to them.” in another reply. Perhaps you didn’t intend to limit it specifically to the currencies you already use, but just crypto in general?

On a philosophical note, cryptocurrencies can free us from the control of banks. That lack of centralization should be appealing to people in the free software community.

Sure in a broad general sense that might be achievable, but useful adoption levels of crypto is nowhere near possible for the foreseeable future so why let that stop you from supporting? It honestly just sound like a bad excuse or, as someone else mentioned already, just peddling crypto for the sake of it.

Out of curiosity, why are you limiting yourself to donations only of crypto, and not just crypto in general but only specifically the few you chose to use?

There is no real privacy benefit using crypto here, or any risk in donating with more commonly used payment methods.

Creative Tools got bought by a large company called NTI Group in march 2024…they’re definitely the ones pushing for this sudden licence enforcement

Since this licence has not been enforced for the past 7 years by Creative Tools (company that designed the orignal benchy), it’s probably safe to assume that it has something to do with NTI Group acquiring the company in march 2024…

I know, I still think it’s too loud to sit around for prolonged time. 5min? Sure not an issue at all, +30min? It’s a huge issue (for me). It’s like being in a room with a paper printer that’s printing nonstop, not an issue while you’re waiting for a few pieces of paper but you don’t want to sit next to it for hours. Or a laptop with its cooling fan running full tilt, it’s OK for a few minutes, but the droning monotonous sound is horrible to listen to for more than that.

Prusas are fairly quiet

Interesting, I still think they’re way too loud to be around. The cooling fan alone is too loud IMO, combined with the steppers whining away it’s definitely not something want to be around for more than I absolutely have to.

I have my printer in our “hobby room”, well ventilated and the printer is enclosed with a charcoal filter.

If you’re just printing PLA, a well ventilated room is probably enough to keep VOCs at a safe level.

I still wouldn’t use the printer in a room you’re staying in for several hours at a time while it’s printing, but I would say the noise of an FDM is definitely also enough to make you not want to be in the same room while it’s printing.

PETG has better UV resistance than ABS

More work maybe, but still better pets.

Cats are objectively the worst house pet and people with cats suffer from severe Stockholm syndrome. They are in an abusive relationship and in complete denial.

With browser settings that actually let me use the internet in a way that’s not overly cumbersome and annoying, I get 16bits or something and a “nearly unique fingerprint”

I don’t like the closed nature of manufacturers like bambu, but damn the Prusa fanclup is sniffing some pretty strong copium these days. The core One is way overpriced for a medium-sized (bordering a bit small these days TBH) coreXY printer with nothing out of the ordinary with regards to capabilities.

Probably at about the same rate as normal sneakers, so if you can live with that then these shouldn’t be an issue in that regard

Compared to just selecting a printing temp around roughly 200C, setting plate to 60C and putting cooling on full blast, which is what almost all PLA prints well with IME, PHA seems much more finicky from what you’re describing. I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but it sounds like it requires much more tuning before you get decent results.

Yeah you’re right, that really doesn’t sound like it’s anywhere remotely close to as easy as printing as PLA.

The few reviews I’ve seen of pure PHA filaments usually are pretty bad and many mention very bad warping issues with none of the usual tricks helping significantly. How easy is it to print compared to regular good quality PLA? What brand are you using?

51C us just the default setting for PETG on my dryer, but I could try cranking it up a bit 🤷‍♂️
