  • Unfortunately an heir apparent isn’t readily… Apparent in my eyes. All have tradeoffs. To be fair, Bambu did too but hid it better from most consumers.

    Qidi isn’t terrible, and they have a decent track record. Their use of klipper is a big plus as well. But multi material is still a promise with no release or reviews, and they have had some duds in their history.

    Prusa is an obvious option, and previously wore the crown. They’re a good bit more expensive, but perhaps that’s the cost of a highly ethical company that is deeply invested in the community. MMU is well understood and works great, but isn’t integrated in their latest printers yet.

    Voron is amazing but absolutely still not for beginners. Besides that they lack for absolutely nothing. Some kits are approaching the user friendliness of pre built, but care and feeding is generally a more technical endeavor.

    Creality is a good place to start generally, but lacks for features.

    Long story short, if a friend approached me and demanded a recommendation, I’d push a casual user to Qidi, a demanding user to a Prusa, and a tinkerer to a Creality with the understanding I’ll be printing voron parts in a year or two









  • For Trump, others ‘respect’ is groveling and subservience.

    Trust and collaboration are never what he wants. That leaves room for him to not get his way.

    What he fails to grasp is that people can act like they’re subservient to you while making you a useful idiot, especially when you’re as easily manipulated as he is.

    And this is precisely why world leaders and business leaders are lining up to kiss his ring. Not out of fear, but because they want something and they know how to get it with him.

    The best thing you can do to increase your confidence in the data reliability is to invest in backups AND doing at least RAID-1 on a reliable check-summing filesystem like ZFS, which Proxmox supports easily out of the box.

    I have ZFS and cloud based backups and I’ve never lost or corrupted data in over 10 years.

    And personally, I don’t back up my movies/TV shows. The volume is too high to bother and with ZFS snapshots and reliability, and the high seas being what they are, most everything is (eventually) recoverable.
