For that money id get out of FDM go for something from Formlabs to do SLA. There are flexible resins. The parts will be superior in every way. Alternatively talk your company into upgrading and offer to take the printer off their hands.

The prusa XL with just two extruders could meet your requirements. Prusa is famously open. I just got a MK4S which is fantastic. Here’s my referral code if you decide to order from them @dubprints_91314 (we’ll both get points redeemable for filament). I think there were issues with the XL at launch but they’ve been addressed. Another benefit from Prusa is the level of support. They continually improve existing printers with firmware updates and upgrade paths.

It’s BS that you can borrow against it. If he did sell it the valuation would drop.

If this is all Nvidia stock let him try to cash out and see what happens.

I’m using this as well and came in to recommend it. One machine is thunderbolt to DP. One is DP to DP. Both Windows machines and both work well. I used this cable https://a.co/d/diTREUK however I’d look for a higher DP/thunderbolt revision now.

Ubiquity also has some managed switches with sfp+ ports. They are more expensive than the one listed above however.

That’s a really great idea. I know at least 2 of the drives are from the same batch so it would be good to rotate things in and out. Thanks!

Start googling. Hardware or Software based? How techy are you? RAID should not be considered for backup. Think of it as an individual drive. Still needs a backup. Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that’s been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.

1. Depends on how you set them up. There are calculators online that can estimate this for you.

2. I used NAS drives bc they’re expected to be spinning a lot.

3. No. You will see better performance on average compared to your slowest drive.

4. I have no relevant experience with specific hardware. For a general base of knowledge figure out what RAID type you want to use. Look at what ZFS or btrfs can do in this space. Same for unraid.

Admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve raw dogged the Internet. I’m traveling without my usual pihole. How does anyone do without ad blockers? Reading that was like trying to read an article surrounded by times square billboards. “Support our journalism, turn off your add blocker”. My ass

I literally sent a message right before posting.

Spoiler - it’s working again. Might be teething problems for a new service.

I bought a really nice Benchmade pocket knife. I like the way it opens Amazon packages
