3d printing has been a miracle to me for fixing plastic things.

Slant3d ships around 500 prints per day and is growing. So I disagree with the others that say it’s dying.

IPA does not remove oils, it solubilizes them and then they deposit back down again when it evaporates.

You don’t dump alcohol on the plate and then let it evaporate. You put it on a paper towel or microfiber cloth and rub the plate so the oils are transferred to the paper towel.

Dish soap can be problematic because many brands include oils to be soft on hands. Palmolive is named because it has Palm oil in it. Dawn has Palm oil too

If you don’t do anything but fulfill orders from those repeat customers, what is your expected revenue next month?

For example, when I sold my business it was 2x annual revenue. That is I made $2M / year from repeat customers so got $4m.

If there’s no voice channels, then why reinvent IRC?

I looked at the website and every link and have no idea what it does.

“Connect with your friends and community” was in a screenshot.

It depends on how old. My Xeons are e-2224G. They’re 14nm coffee lake. They are rated at 71Watts but as I said only use 15w streaming 4k.

They’re $190 on eBay with 16gb ram and 256 GB SSD.

A 16 GB Pi5 is $130 just for the motherboard. You still need storage, case and power supply.

I switched to ECC only for my home server over 10 years ago after a silent ram error corrupted some data on my raid drives. I didn’t realize there was a problem until I went to look at an old photo and it was corrupted.

“8 percent of the DIMMs saw correctable error per year”

And this was from 20 years ago when memory density was much less so the chance of an error was lower.

I got an old Lenovo P330 Xeon with 64 G of ECC ram. I recently checked its power usage for another poster asking the same thing. I was shocked to see it only use 15Watts while streaming 4k hevc.

For server use, ECC is important because it’s going to be on 24/7 for years at a time.

I think they have a reputation more than reality that came about because everyone was upgrading from $150 Ender 3’s so in comparison it was incredible.

The 3d printing nerd shown at the top couldn’t get petg to print out of the box.

Excellent article.

If you’re going to pirate, you might as well get Windows Server. It runs everything without any of the Windows garbage preinstalled like Xbox.

To elaborate, what he means ONVIF is a standard for network cameras. Get any camera with the features you like that support it. Use them with any of the many easy to run home services like zoneminder or frigate. Block the cameras at your router so you don’t have to worry about their security.

If you absolutely can’t do it yourself, get ubiquity’s cameras/NVR.

Given the speed and complete change in designs from year to year I don’t think there is any correlation between brands and reliability.

There are many complaints about the expensive Bambu H2D whereas everyone says the P1s is perfect.

I expect the Snapmaker to have problems given its complexity. But 4 print heads for $800 is worth some hassle.

I think you have it confused with Bambu. You don’t have to use their software with stock firmware. You can network print directly without using any cloud. I’ve used Orca and Prusa. There are absolutely no ads in their slicer.

They have an STL search on their Makeronline.com like Prusa printables.com built into their slicer but that’s not an ad.

I’ve got an Anycubic S1

It’s half open. It doesn’t run Klipper but you can install it if you want. It has cloud features but you don’t have to use them. It comes with a proprietary Orca fork but you can run regular Orca or whatever slicer you want.

If you can wait, I’d get a Snapmaker U1.

There was a few months where I had to ban server after server every day because someone was really into semi-lolli anime. They were posting it in every anime forum. I asked them why they were non stop posting upskirt or provocative drawings of very young girls and they got angry that I dared ask.

Those definitions need to match the global standards or you end up with your own confusing jargon.

Great to hear your prints are working again. Maybe extrusion problem and you need to hand tweak your flow rate for .16?
