It is actually kinda fun and relaxing.

😢

Are we playing the same game? Full of snotty squeakers and Xbone chucklefucks? Hell, the "cheat" coding community is largely fueled by the desire to avoid other players in order to make it "kinda fun" at all. πŸ€ͺ

1.) Ask for a listing of all the information they have about you.

2.) If your aforementioned Deletion request (see title) is missing from that list, they are likely breaking compliance rules.

3.) ...

4.) Profit!

There's an age-old saying: "No one should ever meet their heroes."

Um, what? You mean, like IMDB? You have the internet where you are? πŸ€ͺ

They're not bad machines, per se, but the company's been pushing the shitty practices envelope in an apparent rush to compete with a shrinking barrier to entry and attempting to create a sub-market for "elite" hobbyist machines (in size only) without increasing the quality of parts but certainly upcharging on them... I currently have 8 Elegoo printers (2 Mini 4Ks, 4 Saturn 8Ks, and 2 Jupiters) as both Phrozen and Anycubic are notably worse in a number of ways. To wit, replacing the Jupiter screens is $250 apiece, whereas the Saturn screens run less than $50 and are not β…• the size or value. It's genuinely disappointing, and I have less than zero confidence that this FDM machine won't shit the bed right out of the gates.

All this aside, I recommend you look at established brands in the FDM space that are less likely to be making a cash grab outside their comfort zone.

Oh, yeah, I remember him at GenCon in the mid-90s! Signing glossies at his table between two huge private security guys while he talked the rudest shit about the fans in line to shell out $20 minimum. Never about the one standing in front of him that I could tell, always the ones half a dozen spots back, but he was so impressively drunk you could smell it before you even got on deck. I stepped away from the line and just watched the spectacle for a while before finding something better, but I didn't miss him getting into it with a couple fans and the security guys "helping" him up to take a break. πŸ˜…πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Elegoo, hunh? So, you're into random parts failing and then waiting 6+ weeks for replacements from coastal China? Elegoo barely made a viable resin printer with a similar "bigger = better" inspiration, and people are really that excited to throw their money at the same whore in a different dress? πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Wasn't she just going off on "kids these days" not working hard enough to be able to afford things like a house, health insurance, free time, etc.? Nah, bitch is rich and drank the Kool aid lonnnng ago... She was never your friend and role model if you paid enough attention.

How about we remember the character and the scenes we love, instead? πŸ€ͺ

NGL, that drink seems overly sweet and needlessly simplistic (add gin or vodka to the "martini", FFS), but... I guess?

You might want to look into Ironsworn 🀘🏼

But... How much could that wood pecker peck?

What's your favorite Appa scene? πŸ₯°πŸŒ¬οΈβ›…πŸ¦¬

Painted with Vallejo colors, printed on an Elegoo Jupiter @ 50Β΅m on Vroom in a custom resin blend.

Custom sculpted for a French client, inspired by the official version (to be awarded to the first player to finish the latest puzzle series in Sea of Thieves S9) β€” but this one's better IMHO. πŸ€ͺ Emerald eyes printing in a couple hours!

Should I design a way for the eyes to light up? I'm thinking of magnetizing the keyring so it attaches to the roof of the mouth and closes the circuit, lighting up the gems. Coin battery in the forehead for power. Thoughts?

 

Only two more full print plates (Jupiters) to go, and the rear half of the torso and the big wings will be ready for post-proc & shipping! (The Bahamut medallion there is βŒ€ 50mm, btw.) Then, we're onto a 200% Bahamut, by Lord of the Print β€” which will stand over 2ft tall and nearly 3ft wide, wingtip to wingtip. 😱

Lesson learned: Each full plate of these upscaled sculpts run about 1L of resin, so I'll be updating the pricing for the 150%+ versions. πŸ€£πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

 

Molly for the win! ❀️🀘🏼

 

Surprise gift for my better half: Rococo mirror filigree, designed, printed and hand-painted by yours truly. πŸ₯°

 

Sculpted from scratch by our in-house designer (very small team), this is the first test print all primed up and ready for his color rough. (Elegoo Jupiter, Vroom settings, custom resin mix, Vallejo black primer)

 

Spawned of an idea late one night, this Tiamat by Lord of the Print is still mid-print at a ~200% upscale. 😱 To clarify, the original size red dragon head is shorter than the thumb seen here, and that version's wingspan is already pushing 15in. Live & learn, eh? 🀣🀘🏼 Onward and upward!
