That’s a lot it communication for someone that’s working for free.

I can’t imagine using one of these without a trackpad.

I’m going to second this. It runs Android apps with a little bit of config.

Is that cpu related or does it occur regardless of power?

I think they’re talking about the constant shader compilation on every launch. The Finals has that issue as well.

Yay, a shitty movie.

PLA wants a small amount of squish. If you run your finger over the surface it should feel smooth. If you feel the ridges you’re too low. And if it is wavy you’re super low.

Looks like textbook too close to the bed. What firmware are you running, are you able to baby step while printing? Also what filament are you printing?

I’m curious what would happen if chrome is split from googles core business. That won’t happen of course, because we live in hell, but it would be great.

FWIW most lithium wants to be between 20% and 85%.

It’s the year of the Linux desktop!

X11 was only?

Yes you are correct. Peak brightness is a variable based on load.

As for power effeciency, I have no idea.

I’m guessing the player base is fairly low and they’re trying to appease investors after their “poor performance” this year.

Looking at you Valheim

I kind of agree with what you’re saying on creality, but if you look at their core xy machines compared to other manufacturers of a similar price point, it’s just not worth it (K1).

To your point about larger size, Qidi XMAX3 is where it’s at. It’s rock solid and customer support is amazing. They’ve sent me free parts due to clogs and helped diagnose issues on the printer (this is what Creality lacks, support). It runs on Klipper and is easily modified, and it’s fully enclosed with a heater.

I also think a “beginner” machine has shifted. Most people want to print, not maintain. And now we have plenty of machines that need little maintenance.

Creality machines do excel at tinkering, swapping parts, and doing fun mods. But you need to know that’s what you want when going in. Even then for a beginner I’d say get something rock solid for your first printer, and get a tinkering machine for your second.

I agree with everything you’re saying about filament. The only thing to use CF with is Nylon if you need it to be a little more rigid, but it will eat your nozzle.

ASA and ABS won’t only smell, it will poison you. Do not hang out if you can smell it.

As per Amazon and their return policy, totally true. If you’re not buying there make sure they have a solid customer support, like Qidi and Bambu. Creality wouldn’t take a return for the world.

Bambu has community firmware.

I don’t think so. It looks like it lacks ABL, and the time savings from a core XY with ABL or auto first layer are MASSIVE. Also your print quality increases exponentially.

Take a look at the FlashForge 5M if you want a budget auto first layer printer, or the Qidi line for a slightly more robust printer (but needs more manual intervention).

And if you’d like to focus on printing and not tinkering forever, get a Bambu. Any of them.

Avoid creality.

Didn’t matter because the walls would open. It was terrible level design.

And if it doesn’t work you’ll never see it.
