He certainly can be off-putting. The two videos related to this topic were pretty good though, imo

I know he does. I was saying that the code getting taken down from GitHub would be nowhere near the “end of the battle”. He would just rehost it elsewhere.

Yeah, I don’t think Louis Rossman has the means to host his own website or upload it somewhere else.

The former poster was incorrect in saying he was asking for donations (he was asking for people to say they would donate, if the need were to arise)

However, a few hours ago, he uploaded a followup video stating he has uploaded the code in question himself, and is inviting Bambu Labs to challenge him legally. In the video he did mention where donations could be made but I don’t recall him specifically asking for donations for this particular cause.

But they chose to (assumedly) cheap out on getting fortune cookies from an advertiser rather than normal cookies.

If that’s what they’re going with, that’s much more approachable, assuming it has most of everything you need to adapt most printers.

I wonder, what is the difference between the dedicated prusa kit, and the standard one? If the normal one is meant to convert any printer, why would one go for the more expensive set?

Has anyone seen any recent pricing for the standalone kit? In a video a while back I remember them estimating around $250 for the base hardware and $40-60 for each nozzle. I’m hoping that $250 base price hasn’t gone out the window. I was planning on building a voron 2.4 later this year with the INDX in mind.

Can you please upload some screenshots of the model you’re printing in the slicer, and the related settings? That’s really odd behavior.

It isn’t an “infill” setting. It’s “top/bottom” settings. I don’t what slicer you’re using, but every slicer should give you the option to set the number of top layers and bottom layers.

CNC Kitchen did a video a few years ago demonstrating that infill percentage has little to no effect on part strength, provided the rest of the print (walls, floors, ceilings) has enough material to grab on to.

This is a pretty slop-py article.

The entirety of voron is an open source project, they do not make or sell printers or parts. None of their printers are designed for this size, though. People have definitely made custom ones larger than the schematics but there are drawbacks for going even 50-100mm over the normal max of 350mm, doubling it would certainly require more engineering than “print some parts longer”

You’re writing this comment as if someone just took your phone, changed the setting and removed the ability to change it back

To give another perspective, I had a main board go out on my Neptune 3 right after a year of owning it, and they sent me a new one for free 🤷🏽‍♂️ the resin printer I have from them has seen much less use but has been rock solid every time I’ve used it.

Like I said, I’m not the most knowledgeable person on the subject, so I don’t know if there was more to the outrage than just “it’s an Israeli company”. I’m not currently in the market for a prusa printer, so I’m not particularly invested in their politics, just speaking on things that I have seen in this community

I’m far from the most knowledgeable on the subject, but I remember hearing something about one of their prospective printers not being listed as open source, and that they partnered with some Israeli company.

Yup. I’d log in, scroll for maybe 10-15 posts before I saw the first one from yesterday, play some Wild Ones, and that was that.

The corner is laying down. The would be no supports in either case, and the fillet avoids hard turns while the chamfer still has two (less sharp) angles.

Like 99% of things in 3D printing, “Xs are to be preferred over Ys” is an entirely circumstantial statement that is never going to be true all of the time.

You might try adding a small fillet or chamfer to the inside corners of the model. 3D printers don’t like making sharp, pointed turns; rounded edges (or wider angled turns) tend to print much better.

The rounded (fillet) corners will probably be less visible, and will prevent the start / stopping point where the problem is occurring

Don’t give any customer your “trash pile”. Either take the time to do it right, or throw away the trashpile, or accept that customers feels like people are saying they feel.

… You have to give someone the trash pile. Technicians are not going to throw away thousands of dollars of pills a month because the packaging is “MILDLY” frustrating. Your comment reads like a preachy teenager who has all the answers to every problem.

I don’t know why you’re trying to tell me how to do my job when a. you’ve very clearly never done anything remotely adjacent to it and b. Ive said that I don’t even do that job anymore.

In order to remedy this “MILDLY” frustrating problem that happens every so often, the entire distribution network of drugs in the US would need to be reworked from the ground up to start dispensing per-patient packages. Which, if you think that’s the most pressing problem the US medical industry needs to fix… One, I’ve got a bridge to sell you, and two, don’t make up excuses, do it right, get it changed, become a technician and start throwing away pills and refusing to fill people’s scripts with loose blister packs… Be the change you want to see and all that.

What do you do with expired meds, does the pharmacy eat the loss?

It depends. In the US we have “prescription only” medication (things like antibiotics, diabetes meds, etc) as well as “controlled” medication (things like Norco, Xanax, morphine). With my former employer, we would go through the pharmacy and find non-controlled medication that was due to expire soon (3 or 6 months, I don’t remember) and send them back to our wholesaler for a partial credit. Packages had to be whole and unopened. With controlled medication, there is no sending back; the pharmacy holds the medication until it is actually expired, then sends it to be disposed of.

Do you mix and match pills with different expiration dates to fill a prescription? From different manufacturers?

Different expiration dates, yes, different manufacturers, generally no but if there’s no better option we would. In the US we generally fill from stock bottles containing several hundred or thousand pills, so one bottle can last a few months worth of prescriptions. When we go from one bottle to the next, the expiration dates between the two generally won’t be the same. When I left the company, we had a system that scanned the bottle we used and could read the expiration date; if the med expired in over a year, the label printed would just have an expiration date of 1 year from the current date. If it expired in less than 1 year, it would give a notification, and we’d manually enter the exact expiration date on the label.
