My Prusa xl printed tpu perfectly first go on its flex preset.

I have had a PLA print holding my bike light working for about three years so I don’t think that’s a problem

I wouldn’t buy Bambu. Too much of a vertical company. I don’t believe they’re upgradable, I don’t believe they’re hackable, I don’t think they’ll work well with random third party filament

I like Prusa. They are upgradable, they are hackable, they work fine on any filament

I’d go for a Prusa printer, they’re highly maintainable and easy to upgrade. Definitely not Bambu - they’re a closed source shitty company

Nozzle change is easy on new Prusa printers, Prusa have a how to on their website

My Prusa XL 5 tool is printing like a champ. So far I have printed a 2 colour PLA print that took the whole print bed and a flexible (TPU) print for my bike

It hasn’t missed a trick

I love Prusa

I also have an ankermake printer which I bought hoping their colour system would happen, but it never did. I’m tempted to replace it with a Prusa mk4s with their working multiple material unit (MMU) which is already in version 3

And it works with an open source slicer

And their printers have a history of being upgradable

Any printer I get in the future will be a Prusa

What were the best settings on that video?

I think Bambu have their own solution and since they don’t want their users using other brand filament they would be nuts to support an open standard

You obviously need to ID the spools and store values for all, the different hub weights aren’t a big issue if the printer knows the length of its filament path, how much filament the spool started with, and how much filament has been consumed it can work out the hub weight

Regularly changing filament fixes the problem of the load cell drifting, by allowing it to zero occasionally

You could warn on low filament, or not enough for this print, but load cells aren’t accurate enough to be certain about the last few metres, along with errors from cosmetic trimmed before feeding, or some is damaged and cut off, so I would still use the normal no filament sensors for stopping

Not saying it’s worth it compared to a software solution in the slicer

My different printer does that when it takes a break from printing to disconnect any stringy plastic, for example when it moves to check the print adhered correctly. Mine behaves better when I cancel. I can prevent that behaviour by turning off “AI check file”

It’s similar to the miss against Trump, just missing in a more successful direction

Circumvention: https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/s116an.html

Aussie copyright law gives us the right to circumvent protections in order to make copies to watch on a device the original can’t be played on.

Linux out of the box is remarkably incompatible with DRM protected content and so makes an excellent thing on which one might want to watch, listen to, or read a thing

I luckily live in a country where I may break copy protection if it is to move the content into a format where I can use it as I prefer

Eg I could (and did) legally break copy protection on DVDs to allow me to watch them on my Linux computer

Searching I found one Tesla 3 that caught fire after hitting road debris, several that caught fire after being shot at, several that caught fire after a collision, and many destroyed in arson attacks

Please link some of these “many that caught fire while driving”

Are you sure you can’t make a high entropy memorable password?

Then 10 minutes later the war was back on no holds barred

IT worker in system analysis and design in the public service in Canberra, Australia.

There’s no official policy though many of my co workers believe a lunch time drink is not allowed. I have often enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine or a beer at lunch, have never made a secret of it, and have never been told off or warned by anyone above me

KeePass doesn’t rely on any third party, and if you choose to use a third party file storage to hold your password vault, it’s encrypted

My workplace has finally gone to passphrases and 1 year password life, which is nice as it’s a password I often need to type, so I’d rather 20 easy to type and memorise chars than 16 random
