  • I have printed ASA on my Anycubic S1. It’s enclosed but doesn’t have an active chamber heater. It uses the bed heater to slowly heat the chamber. It’s $350.

    It technically worked the very first time but it still took like 3 prints tuning the temperature to get good layer adhesion. (I was printing extremely thin and narrow parts and the ASA would break along layer lines.)

    Going only by YouTube reviewers, the Qidi Plus 4 seems to be the best low end for “engineering” filaments. $700 and out of the box it has a hardened nozzle, high temp hardened extruder, and active chamber heating- plus a 305mm build volume. Even their $400 Q2 has a hardened nozzle and active chamber heating.








  • Because I converted some backend processing services from nodejs to rust,

    You converted only the functions you needed and only included the functions you needed. You did not convert the entire node.js codebase and then include the entire library. That’s the problem I’m describing. A few years ago I toyed with javascript to make a LCARS style wall home automation panel. The overhead of what other people had published was absurd. I did what you did. I took out only the functions I needed, rewrote them, and reduced my program from gigabytes to megabytes even though it was still all Javascript.
