Yeah, I get the sentiment but… this is pretty not fantastic, lol.

But… but they added little white triangles for vampire teeth :(

It is from the brand Elegoo. The printer is pretty dated at this point, so it’s not the one I’d recommend. There’s probably more robust systems out there.

I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong.

My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to.

Correction: if I start at 5:37 I have to stop precisely at 6:37 to have studied for an hour. Much easier to start and stop at 6 and 7. Mhm.

I misinterpreted your original comment saying that YouTube wouldn’t lead you directly to them to mean that it would stear you away from them (which would of course require them to do the sorting you’re talking about). Yeah they don’t really give a shit, just shovel whatever they think will get you to engage.

Why isn’t it in YouTube’s best interest? They don’t care if the product gets praised or trashed, they aren’t selling it, you watch the video/ ads and they’re happy

I remember being like 5 and wanting to make a card for my grandma. I went to my mom’s room, asked how to spell something, I think a short sentence like “I love you”, and I ran back to the front room saying “I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U-I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U-I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U” over and over, until I realized that I a. didn’t remember where the sentence started, and b. didn’t know where any of the spaces went.

Exactly what I was gonna say. There’s certainly a good number of people that take medication simply to function in the way society wants them to, but there are also a good number of people that will sit on the couch motionless for hours trying to figure out how to start functioning at all if unmedicated.

I get the post is a joke but it feels kinda belittling to those in the latter group.

I figured that the second or third layer would kind of “iron out” the imperfections, but still strange that it’s occurring nonetheless.

I’ll see spots like this on some of my prints, and that tells me to wash my print sheet, but it’s never in those 45° lines like yours. I wonder if you can feel any texture difference running your fingers over the trouble spots? sometimes you can wear out parts of a textured bed and have smooth spots that are lower than the rest of the bed. It’d be really weird for it to happen in that exact pattern, though.

That is incredibly strange. The only thing I’m noting is that the error looks very similar and in the same spot on both models on the print bed… I’m assuming “consistent across prints with large flat surfaces” means that you’ve seen the issue on other models as well, to rule out a model error?

I agree that there appears to be the “remnants” of a previous print or something underneath though. Did you get the printer used?

If we never lost Qui-Gon we never would’ve seen Vader, change my mind

Most come with an upcharge yeah, but normally only the high end ones with a steep OC profile and really fancy cooling shrouds are $100+ extra. There’s several aftermarket 5070 available at MSRP.

I think the dream of getting one at MSRP makes it my choice card haha. And the thing that drove me away from looking more into the 9070 was that I can only get it for a little over what the 9070XT MSRP is supposed to be.

If I’m going to make a decision, I need to get the silly notion of MSRP out of my head

It’s probably just a mental thing. If MSRP is 600 and I pay 700, I’ll feel like a spent an extra 100 for being impatient or getting ripped off. But if MSRP is unrealistic, 700 I guess is the real “MSRP” so shouldn’t feel bad.

When the 20xx series was new with Nvidia, it was still possible to get cards at MSRP from retailers like Best buy, just had to be very vigilant checking availability. But if not a single person has been able to pick up the card at MSRP in 6 months I don’t think it’s worth holding breath.

So, other than the enclosure and print bed, what’s actually left of the original printer?

The… Whole printer? The only thing they changed are the hot end and the control board. The entire construction of the printer, including all of the linear motion components that make these things so rock solid, haven’t been touched. Swapping those two components out isn’t anywhere close to a “custom built printer”. Besides firmware, it’s 90% stock, and it’s trivial for someone with the expertise to get a klipper profile built for something like this.

That’s the more valid criticism. There’s plenty of criticism in the “wamen bad” category.
