My fear of this happening (which I thought was irrational) has now been validated as being real.

I used to live in an apartment that had a swimming pool built on top of some commercial units, and every time I’d swim, I had a fear of falling through.

Yeah, I currently have a Dell Xps13 and won’t be getting another Dell laptop after this one.

Same here in New Zealand. Had them around for a while but never heard about flexible prices like this (other than items on sale of course)

Let’s call it 9 years away from next year

It feels like there’s a lot more positive stories coming out about fusion lately :)

Yeah, though I haven’t used it yet, it’s good to know it’s right there when I want it.

Yeah, essentially.

Obviously made by different companies, Kindle - Amazon, Kobo - Rakuten (A Japanese multinational).

When I was doing my research on what to buy, I was weighing up between the Kindle Paperwhite vs Kobo Clara 2e.

I think most people say that the Kindle has a better selection of books available in their store (though I’ve only had one book I couldn’t find for the Kobo, but I solved that issue by purchasing it while in a different region), and the Kindle is Larger. The Kindle also has a top screen layer than makes it flush with the body.

In the end I went into a physical store to have a look at both of them, and went with the kobo, mainly due to how I preferred the smaller size.

edit - oh and just remembered as I read another comment in this thread, Kobo is compatible with Libby, which is what is used to “borrow” ebooks from your local library (I believe in most places around the world?, not too sure on that), while Kindle is not. Though I havent used it yet, as when I went looking for a few books I wanted to read, they had already been checked out by other users, and there was a waiting list for them.

I go through spurts of reading, and I had been putting off ebooks because I like to own the physical books and have them fill up a shelf etc.

I recently got a Kobo and it’s been amazing. Definitely been reading more, and as others have mentioned, it’s so great when travelling. I’ve got a little camera sling bag that I carry when travelling, and it just manages to fit in there so I can have a quick read when I’m waiting for something/got some down time etc.

Unrelated, but for no real reason whatsoever, I preferred HDMI over DP until recently when I noticed I was having noticing some weird behavior with my laptops and my usbc dock.

I did some testing with DP cables instead of HDMI, and it totally fixed it. Ive since been converted to DP.

Like many others on here, my stock is now 0.6mm

I’ve also tried a 0.8mm which is amazing haha. Though it definitely has it’s limitations, so I usually just stick with 0.6mm

Oh yes! haha I often do the same with the 1mm type prints :)

Yeah, I’ve always been meaning to get that process tightened down Abit to minimize the number of iterations required. Though I haven’t figured out what that would entail lol.

Cool! Will do :)

I’ve always been meaning to try the photo thing - I’ve always just reverted to making some sketches on an ipad/paper, and taking as many measurements as I can, and then printing some test fits.

That’s good to hear!

Might be the push I needed to give it a go :)

Cool!

I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while, but was always worried about the water. I was thinking of getting some epoxy resin and coating it.

Haven’t done any printing in PLA (Only PETG and TPU) but is there a chance it’s due to your filament being too wet?

This. Checkout the Klipper documentation at https://www.klipper3d.org/Probe_Calibrate.html#calibrating-probe-z-offset

If it is true, maybe due to historic relations between Korea and Japan?

When I’ve had some filament lying out for a while, I usually start drying it atleast a day before.

I use the eSun Dryer as well, and usually start with a ~5 hour dry on Setting 3, and then another 3~5 hour dry right before I plan to print.

Seems to get the job done :)

Very interesting reading all the responses, as I am a rear pocket person. Hate the feeling of having things against my thighs when I move.

Though having it in my back pockets does mean I take them out everytime I sit down.
