Not a mistake, I’ve got an ender 3 and a cr10. Both are fine, keep your expectations realistic and calibrate each axis, especially the extruders. Use PLA, consider getting a new build plate if your prints won’t stick. I recommend flashing firmware on the ender 3 unless you know what was loaded onto it last, doesn’t have to be fancy firmware just something you know for sure is configured for your printer. A cr10 should probably get firmware as well but I never loaded new firmware on mine and the controller is older so I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.

Don’t forget the cost of filament, if you print a lot you may spend more on filament in a year that your printer budget.

squints… Big L?

… Leased them from what entity?

I think you need to start a project, accept it will be slow and painful, and don’t become an expert before you start, just use the skills you have and see where they take you. The only thing that matters in software is that it works. The definition of working changes over time, but get that first working version and you will keep going.

The less I think, the more it thinks

Ime you can get a similar feeling fasting, and then again when eating a normal amount after the fast.

^r

For me the tinkering is part of the fun, so old beat up ender 3s are perfect. If you want something ready to go, even a brand new ender 3 won’t give you that 🤣

Labor exploitation isn’t vegan. Vegans are doing the best they can, better than me.

Bacon vegans are the most nonsensical

Yes

It’s okay to cry, but also keep going until you figure it out, and watch freecad tutorial videos. I think learning how to cad on freecad is a nightmare, but once you know how things are supposed to be built it works well.

Y u no pipe yes into apt 🙃

Time to bail 😔

Because more eyes spot more bugs, supposedly. I believe it, running closed source software is truly insane

Billionaires only have power because people do things for them in exchange for money

Don’t worry, they’re just roommates

Lol build something with serde and you’ll be hooked for life

But wait as he has the mandate of the people

I think part of that sentiment is also I’m not a threat to the government please don’t kill me

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I’ve been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist
