  • Hey, totally fair. I was looking at the CORE One, looks like an awesome printer! And a buddy of mine has a Voron he loves.

    I’m not overly concerned, I’m not enough of a hobbyist to bother with alternate slicers or firmware or anything like that yet. Maybe someday I’ll get there. For now I’m just going to be thrilled to have an enclosed multi-material printer for under a grand. 😅


  • Had an Ender before and hated it.

    I had a Maker Select Plus (i3 clone) and it was great…but extremely limited. I’m really looking forward to what I can do with an enclosed printer that doesn’t sling the bed around for the Y axis.

    Some guy was printing a life sized T-Rex and his recommendation is what pushed me over the edge. Haven’t regretted it.

    Damn. Lots of printing in pieces and then acetone fusing to get the parts together? Or glue? Sounds like an awesome project.

    Thankfully now there’s MagSafe charging so that frees up the lightning/usb-c for wired headphones

    Shhh, you have to call it “qi2 charging” or you’ll be sent to the Apple User gulag. We need to pretend that qi2 isn’t directly based on MagSafe.

    I actually appreciate this, even knowing how it works. After a big purchase I tend to be conflicted about it having spent that much money. I like to have it be confirmed that I made the right choice, even if I know it’s just manipulation. 😅

    Like, recently I bought a BambuLab P1S 3D printer (with the multi-material combo). I did my research, knew it was an excellent value for money. I knew the competing options were not worth the added features for the higher cost, or the reduction in features for the savings. It was basically exactly what I wanted at a good price point.

    And yet every time I see a suggested YouTube video recommending that printer, or an ad talking about what a good value it is, I get this little happy dopamine burst for having made a good choice.
