Should go after anywhere that has perpetual agreements including the ones that try to get around it by the last living clause or 100 years etc. I don’t know a good solution but I’m sure they can put limits and carve outs where needed.

Summer I really make sure they’re in vac bags with indicating desiccant. Winter not so worried. I used to just not care but since getting an X1C with ams I’ve had a number of rolls of pla snap inside and trying to clear that out is annoying. Haven’t really had an issue sense although I have some esun pla+ that is incredibly brittle and will snap just looking at it.

No because it’s not decentralized. That’s like saying Twitter is decentralized because it’s microservices communicate over https.

Really same reason all these companies making dramatic changes. Rips the bandaid off and lets them roll back to what they actually wanted while looking like they listen. Some are executed better than others. See Deltas medallion change for another example.

It’d be fun to mess around with if it wasn’t 12-18k for the setup.

More surprised you managed to post a negative review. Every time I do it fails amazons community guidelines check or get removed a few days after.

It’s a bit overblown IMO. Unless you’re going wild with multi material it’s about the same as any other printer. Sure it purges a little even if you don’t change filament between prints but it’s still such a small amount. I found myself purging a little each time with my Prusa and Enders before too.

If you’re that worried don’t get an ams for multi color printing. Get an ams to reduce waste for automatic spool runout switching.

No body was asking for it either. Now they have a reason to raise prices. And they will.

I’d argue you’re not really losing it if you never use it all in the first place. People put too much thought into range when all they’re doing is short trips most of the time.

Honestly don’t know either. Never had this happen before but surprisingly if I’m careful it prints fine if I don’t use the ams. 🤷

I would say the same but I have five rolls of theirs that no matter how long they dry they basically crumble apart, did it right from the bag too. So I dunno what’s up with their QC but that’s pretty bad.

Those kind of dryers don’t really let the moisture escape, it needs somewhere to go. Either with desiccant + fan or ideally food dehydrator.

And it’s weird, this kinda tech isn’t new at all.

Are you sure it’s not a you doing something shady problem? Suspended on printables, locked on thangs… I dunno it sounds kinda sus when none of us have issues. Perhaps it’s spamming your cube…

Lol thangs search better? Please. The entire thangs UX is a mess and their search is a joke. It returns models from game asset websites and the like that are not really printable. They’ve been spending a lot getting creators to gush over it too, makes me highly suspect whenever I see someone say how much better it is.

Most people work in at-will states so really they don’t even need to say they’re firing you for any particular reason.

I think the biggest hurdle would be packing it away, putting it back together and recalibrating - that seems like it would get old fast. Someone’s already mentioned it but the ender 2 or prusa mini seem like best bet. That could be small enough you could take the gantry off and put into a foam case

Gotta define by what you actually mean when you say portable. Do you mean pack up for flying? Just driving around? Hotel use? Honestly if you travel that much you might want to just look into maker spaces or libraries.

I don’t see what’s wrong with that? Can you show us with supports disabled and infill increased?
