And how exactly they “depend”?

Where are tthose regions where “people depend on piracy”?

I own multiple CC now, they are good for almost every material you can throw at it, pretty reliable as well. Hotend can be changed pretty easily, dunno if there are any third party ones, you can buy third party nozzles but stock ones are good enough for me.

Interesting write up, you are really passionate about bikes 😄.

I’m sure there is a lot of problems with creality, but are you sure that you have an original one? Parts not fitting is really strange.

Apparently they do international shipping, but it might be more expensive to you then buy it locally.

Local manufacturers and bulk prices, unless you are in Ukraine I don’t think names would help. 🙃

I mostly buy petg that costs less than 8-9 euros per kilo. It happens sometimes.

True, but sometimes it happens.

Buy a spool that isn’t tangled, it will only bring frustration and anger, it’s never just one knot in my experience.

Printables, myself, cults.

If we will ever see something like this for cheap ($<50k) it can really get every country to at least partial tech independence.

They were reliable now they started to make them cheaper and reliability suffered, also completely closed ecosystem isn’t helping.

Centauri Carbon is the best right now. Bambulab a1 actually has soft cloud requirement (at least in my experiencev they stop printing in offline/lan mode once in a while until you allow it to phone home for a bit), also it’s just worse and has more limitations due to it being bed slinger.

Actually folks shouldn’t embrace the private trackers they make finding content harder, make regarded rules (like you can’t seed these files on another tracker), and feed ego of moderating pricks.

I’ve tried printing without connecting pins and with them using petg, without connectors it didn’t work for me on bed slinger printer (expected), with pins it works fine (used this technique a few times before and it always worked). I think it’s not material problem per se more of movent problem, on corexy it printed both parts great.

They already did, obviously. It’s not a secret nor aaa is opposed to it, they literally state that they are an archive for llm training as well as a library.

It likely would, crime is distribution not viewing.

Seedbox protections are alright for majority of cases. Most seedboxes probably aren’t collaborating with us authorities. Unless there is a lot of money in your case nobody would care.

DPI is hard, requires hardware either close to you or close to your seedbox, payload itself is not copyrighted and nobody could tell what data is transferred.
