  • I feel like NSFW requests should be allowed, especially since people might not realise something is NSFW until someone translates it. That does introduce some difficulty in tagging it though, and this certainly can be abused.

    In Berlin, I sometimes see NSFW tattoos in my local language. When they’re on very visible body parts I do wonder if the person was tricked into getting the tattoo, so it seems to me that allowing nsfw content could be helpful in some situations.



  • I have a qidi Q1 which I’m using to print ABS parts for a new Voron right now. It’s working very easily even on default settings, although I haven’t made anything big yet, and I don’t know if ASA is harder to print.

    As much as I lobe the Prusa Core One I have at work, it doesn’t seem to be the best for ASA. I printed a few very large flat parts in ASA a while ago. Heating up the chamber takes forever, and warping / adhesion issues happen a lot on default settings, even with their own brand.







  • I live in Berlin, I’m on a Canadian instance by accident, we’re almost definitely sad about the same shop!

    We rushed there as soon as we saw the announcement and managed to talk to the staff one last time. It was so heartbreaking to see the shop gutted, the atmosphere felt different, it was awful. I asked them what happened and they said it was a combination of a few unfortunate things.





  • Second this. We have a Core One at work which was upgraded from an MK4. Has almost 1 k hours print time, broke down once (mostly due to my negligence), otherwise very accurate and reliable. Not very happy with their customer support though, they diagnosed the problem incorrectly and suggested I change the wrong part. Others generally have a better opinion of their support, so maybe mine was an outlier.


  • I have the qidi q1 with about 250 h print time and it’s been great. Quick and simple with pla and abs, had to dial in linear advance for petg. I do a lot of toys and HueForge, quite happy with its ability to do small details. It has some small issues but overall very good especially with the price point.

    The q2 is supposed to support their decently released MMU system, but I haven’t bothered reading about it.
