There’s a reason why PETG/PLA are used as interface materials for supports in multi-material printers. There’s no molecular bond and so the parts will snap off very easily.

There are certain timed events that will trigger if you long rest nearby, so make sure if you’re near a place that looks like it needs immediate attention, that you don’t long rest quite yet.

“Potion Seller, I require your strongest potions.”

Even a hotbed replacement isn’t that bad. I ended up swapping out the entire hotend when I shorted the thermistor because I thought I also broke the heater cartridge as well. You can partially disassemble the MK3S’s tool head and it’s basically remove-> insert the new part and close it up again - > rewire.

I’ve got a 0.8, I just haven’t tried it yet. I feel like the prints would be too imprecise for most applications though, no?

Use a 0.6mm nozzle, it’ll change your life.

I’m going to go against the grain here and say you should get a Prusa. I had an Ender 3 V2 as my first printer and it was an endless series of headaches with all of the little adjustments and tweaks I needed to make every other print. I nearly gave up the hobby and took a break for about a year because I was so sick of it. Furthermore, an Ender absolutely did not teach me everything there is to know about how 3D printers work, even with all the fiddling.

Eventually I got an i3 MK3S+ kit. The kit helped me to actually learn everything about what goes on inside a 3D printer. I would recommend staying away from preassembled printers, at least at first. Ever since building it, it’s basically been a fire and forget type of machine, barring routine maintenance and a shorted thermistor that was my own fault. It’s my main workhorse and I now use it to run a small 3D printing business.

On top of all that, Prusa’s designs are all open-source, their printer profiles are extremely well-tuned using PrusaSlicer, and getting official replacement parts is a breeze. It’s definitely something I would get if you want or need something that can’t have a lot of downtime.

As for your question regarding PLA, it should be okay, but if you’re really concerned about it, you can get an enclosure to help contain the fumes. I have the official Prusa enclosure with all the add-ons. I think you can get it bundled with a printer for a discount.

My assumption is that he means the recommendation algorithms for social media and content feeds like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

If you happen to have a 3D printer, Gridfinity would be my go-to solution. Otherwise, those Kinetic Labs containers seem like your best bet.

So, for flex-direction: column, usually you’ll want to use it when you need multiple items to be consistently spaced vertically. For example, you have a testimonials section on your webpage with some divs that contain quotes, and you want them to be centered in the page, stack on top of each other, and have equal spacing between each quote. This is where flex-direction: column comes in. You just set the flex five to the height you want, slap display: flex and the flex direction properties on it, set justify-content to between, and maybe align-items to center so that all the child divs are in the center of the parent, and voila!

In real life, you’ll mainly see this used on mobile, where lots of elements need to be stacked on top of each other, but there are cases on other viewports where it makes sense. For example, in lining up fields in a vertical form like a login or sign up page where the username, password, and login/create account buttons are all stacked on top of each other.

Hot take: I don’t “get” Spirited Away. Like I appreciate the art and animation, but the story and characters are a confusing mess to me. I’ve heard the explanation of “it’s a critique of Japanese society”, and looking back on it I can see the symbolism, but if you need additional context for the story to make sense, then I don’t think it’s a very good movie, at least I don’t think it deserves universal acclaim if it only makes sense to one specific culture.

 

I’m looking to print large-scale prints using ASA and other unsafe materials, so ideally I need something that has an enclosure or can be enclosed easily, but I’d rather buy something preassembled or partially-assembled as I don’t have time to build a RatRig.
