  • My first printer back in 2016 was a FlashForge, which at that time filled a similar role in the market as Bambu is doing now.

    Their designs were initially more open than Bambu is now, but went more proprietary over time - I had a Dreamer which still used a lot of “standard” parts. Despite that I ran into several issues that were either a pain to work around, or impossible, due to Flashforges attempts at keeping bits proprietary. I switched to Prusa after that, and have been happy ever since.

    For me personally that experience was enough that I’ll never by something like Bambu - though for people with less technical abilities who just want a box that works they’re perfectly fine.

    Currently I have a mk4 upgraded from a mk3s as main printer, in the enclosure, with mmu. I’m considering upgrading it to a core one next year, purely because of the lower footprint of the core one in a case compared to the prusa enclosure, and my limited space. My old flashforge was corexy, and was quite annoying about bed leveling - which lead to me avoiding corexy for a while after that. But as far as I can tell the bed mount on modern corexy are way better than on the old flashforge (which had a tendency to bend forward), plus there’s autoleveling now.





  • Die ganze Diskussion geht irgendwie ums falsche Thema. Wenn da eine halbwegs geschlossene Gemeinschaft einmal im Jahr sich verpruegeln will, und alle drauf stehen sollen sie das doch tun - es sollte eher darum gehen ob da Personen die nix damit zu tun haben wollten involviert wurden, bzw, wie sichergestellt wird dass in Zukunft derartige Personen sich fernhalten koennen. Fuer Leute ausserhalb der Dorfgemeinschaft sollte es relativ einfach sein das zu vermeiden - das Problem ist dass Leute die da wohnen (gerade Jugendliche die noch Schule oder Ausbildung fertigmachen muessen bevor sie wegziehen koennen) durch Gruppenzwang oder aehnliche Dynamiken eventuell mitmachen ohne dass sie das wirklich wollen.




  • Some years age when I was still using some more google stuff (like an account for calling out from my PBX) I had each service assigned to its own google account to limit the impact of google doing something crazy to an account.

    Apart from playstore youtube red is now the only service left - and that’s about to go as they now made it too expensive, especially taking into account that they enshittified it so much that we’ve blocked it on the TV, and “adfree on TV” was the main use case there…
