Burritos are easy to meal prep. Make your own shit and stop paying these clowns.

Pretty good. Labor day is a paid day off for me. Wife has to work though, but that just means I get to pal around with my son all day.

Upgrade path for an ender 3? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

Thoughts on the AnkerMake M5 3D Printer? I've been eyeballing it as my next printer. I like the improved speed and the quality of life features (auto level bed, error detection).

This is where I'm at. I'm very new to 3dprinting and I've really been happy with my ender3. I've been putting money aside and had plans for upgrading parts, but when I look at better machines, the price point is pretty close to the ender3 with upgrades.

Looking for help understanding 3d Model in Cura (lemmy.world)
 

I just got into 3D Printing (got my Ender 3 two weeks ago) and I've been loving the experience! Learning lots of new things as well as making a few mistakes and learning from those.

I found this model and wanted to print it for a fish tank:

In some of the Make screenshots it looks like the model doesn't have a bottom. However when I brought the model into Cura, it looks like the model had a top and bottom portion.

Because of that, I thought it would need supports so I went ahead and printed accordingly. When the print finished, it was just like the Make screenshots provided. No big deal, it was super easy to remove the supports. However, reviewing the model in Cura I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that it wouldn't have the bottom printed.

Thanks in advanced!

What is a good hobby for a depressed person? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I'm in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I'm ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I'll start figuring out the best ways to paint.

It's been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there's always something to learn or just improve your current process.

The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.
