You can’t weigh the jug, because it’s in an image.

Anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together can figure out how full a physical jug of water is in a number of ways. The joke is that only an autistic person would try to produce an exact measurement based off an image.

The first badge is “Savings Starter”, which implies that using the app is providing some sort of discount. The badges may not be directly tied to a discount but the app most certainly gives you one, that’s how all of these things work.

There was a viral video from like 2015 or so (I think it was a Vine) where a guy asks a kid, “what’s 10 plus 9?” The kid looks up and immediately says “21!” to which the original person replies, “ya stupid”.

I don’t think it actually has anything to do with the image, just a post ironic shit post.

If Bambu were out there suing people for stuff they didn’t make, I’d be more in line with calling them thieves. But the work they have used is still freely available to anyone who wants to use it. Similar to how Sovol sells what is essentially a preassembled Voron; I’m an engineer, I wouldn’t buy one because I’d rather do it myself. But to the hundreds of thousands of people who wouldn’t want to spend a week building a printer, but love the design and concept of the Voron, they now have the option. Everyone with their Voron can continue using it, and everyone who wants to just buy one can.

I mean, look at the computer industry/ hobby. Started off with a bunch of enthusiats building crap in their garage. Computers became important, businesses started taking note, and now when the average person thinks of a home computer, they think “Dell, HP, Apple”. But all the other stuff didn’t just go away. There’s still a huge, thriving community of people who slapped their stuff together and run the jankiest, least proprietary OS possible on them. Nothing’s stopping them from doing what they want to do, but now everyone else can do it, too.

Bambu changed everything for the worst and forced everyone to lower expectations and business practices.

I’m sorry, Bambu forced people to LOWER their expectations…? What expectations are you talking about?

Bambu made everyone want a printer that prints insanely fast, with incredible quality and zero hassle. I have a friend who is the least tech savvy person I’ve ever met, he genuinely barely knows how to use a computer, but his Bambu prints circles around my heavily modified and upgraded Neptune 3.

If your “expectations” are literally just, “it’s open source and I can do whatever I want” then yeah a Bambu won’t meet those expectations. But that’s a far cry from “everyone’s” expectations, and I definitely wouldn’t say that they “forced” other businesses to follow suite.

Bambu is making printing accessible to non-enthusiasts. Their products aren’t always going to align with what old-heads are looking for, but the benefit of knowing what you’re doing is that you can decide for yourself not to go that route. Nothing on God’s green Earth can stop you from sourcing parts and building a Voron that does exactly what you want, no matter what Bambu does, but now that 3D printing is entering the mainstream, the mainstream needs a way to print, and Bambu is there to fill that gap in the market.

Yeah, most LLMs I’ve used tend to use phrases like TBH and …etc.

Post: I damaged my Prusa printer 🙁

People in this community, for some reason: Bambu bad 😠

“inventor” is definitely a job, if you’re already rich 🙁

Just because the benchy was designed to be used as a calibration tool doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be able to do whatever they want with it. If a print a benchy with The Rock’s face on it I’m not gonna go to their website and be like “omg it looks different why???” Also the model is a solid 3d model, it isn’t presliced, so the only thing a manufacturer could do to make a benchy “look better” on their printer would be to make it visibly different than the original, which… See above.

Like I get what you’re saying, standardization is important for tools like this, but if someone wants to calibrate their printer it’s not like it’s difficult to get the original benchy and run your test. If they were just removing models that are nearly identical but with small tweaks I’d be more likely to agree, but they’re removing artwork and gag models that could never be mistaken or passed off as the original.

It’d be like banning children’s toys that look like tools because someone might try to build a house with a plastic ruler.

think about whatever it was they were thinking about before someone came along and told them they had to earn a living.

This right here moved me. Not just because it’s so spot on, but because I don’t even remember what I was thinking about back then.

It looks to me like your printer is printing on slightly melted plastic. I don’t use orca or a Bambu, so I don’t know if you’re able to do this, but I would try printing that section slower, or changing the minimum layer time. It looks like that’s a small cross section so it’s probably finishing the layer and starting the next before the previous one has cooled down.

What more does the Grok response provide? The response itself is made up. Ask the LLM the same question 5 times and you will get 5 different answers.

So it does.

Another fun fact about the guy though is that he’s credited with coining the phrase “lick my ass” in his poetry.

Haha and then they freak out and hurt or kill OP lmao that’d be hilarious and epic guys.

1st panel: recognizing art style haha, “is this loss” hur dur

2nd panel: ok no it’s some other stupid edit

3rd panel: I think I’m getting the absurdist humor behind this one

4th panel: God fucking dammit

My world bears flame! Does yours do the same?

I’m in agreement with the situation, and it will never cease to amuse me.

I use “my guy” as a humorous precursor to the rest of my sentence regardless of whom I’m speaking to.

You can drop any block of g-code into your slicer, but that would require running the file to get the commands to run. In Klipper, you can just run the macro.

For example I’ve got a “enclosure heat” macro that

1. Sets bed temp to 100 and extruder to 280

2. Turns all fans to max

3. Moves my print head in front of my webcam (there is an ambient temp display on the print head)

I can do all of these manually, of course, but with a macro I can just push a button and it does all of it.

It also makes it so you don’t have to paste those entire g-code command blocks into whatever file you’re slicing, and so that you can retroactively change commands. (Instead of having the entire startup sequence at the beginning of every g-code, I have a “START_PRINT” macro at the beginning; if I change the macro, all of the files I already sliced will have the updated behavior).

I agree with most of your points, but I do wanna say that in regards to the last mark, there are reasons besides contributing to the code and building your own firmware to want to use something like Klipper. I’m not a programmer at all but the amount of customization and QOL tools I can achieve compared to what you’re able to do with Bambu’s software is insane. I can never go back to a printer without custom macros

Looks like the model is just resting on supports. Might have a roof or “support interface” (a layer between supports and model)
