I couldn't shower with my eyes open for weeks because of Fire in the Sky, I was afraid I was gonna see an outline of the aliens behind the shower curtain.

"Fail early, fail often"

 

Trying to design and print a clip for my crisper drawer, learning something new with every print.

Good thing they are only 5 grams of filament each…

The sv06 is a champ

I feel like getting fed up with an Ender 3 is a rite of passage among this community that I am more than glad to skip :P

I have zero experience with other 3d printers. So far I'm pretty impressed

Ah, i see what you mean...

I looked it up and I swear there's already a beefy connector there, but I might have missed it. I'm not home now but I'll check again. Thanks for the tip!

Be careful, if we keep talking about triggers in a 3d printing forum the ATF is gonna show up

 

After researching I decided to buy a new SV06, set up easy and printed a benchy without incident.

I was surprised at how good the build quality was. Currently working on printing brackets for the crisper drawer of my refrigerator

The more research I do that more I like the sv06.

This gets dangerous once you make semi decent money though. Like why would I take public transit that takes an hour to get there for $2.50, when I could just take a cab that costs $25 and only takes 30min to get there.

Like, sure…if making $50+/h one can justify it. But one could also instead save $23.50 for the piggy bank by taking the bus. And the 30min extra is not time one would have been at work getting paid anyway (unless your taking the bus/taxi to work I guess and actually gain 30min of pay).

That's when you start calculating your hourly wage once all your livings costs have been deducted. Once you amortize your housing costs, car, food, retirement, student loans, and whatever other bad decisions that you're still paying for every month and figure out your hourly wage AFTER all that it's a lot easier to keep a level head.

Doing this when you make $12/hr is much too depressing though.

What is a good example of a brand that has parts vs one that doesn't?

Dont expect much support from creality,

I've been running Fedora Core on my laptops for years and my cell service is tracfone....support is for the weak :P

Don’t even get me started on the 4 contact points for balance/ leveling.

One feature I definitely want is auto-leveling. I hope it softens the learning curve at least a little bit.

 

I'm shopping for my first printer, I don't have any experience with 3d printing but I'm vaguely familiar with the whole process and I understand there will be a learning curve and I'm looking forward to that part.

I'm leaning towards the Creality S1 Pro because I remember the huge hub-bub about the Ender 3 when it first came out and it seems like everyone and their brother suggests it as a good first printer but then when I read reviews it seems kinda janky and I'm an adult with a job so I don't mind fussing a little but I don't want to fuss a lot.

I picked the S1 Pro because I think it has an auto-leveling print surface and the name recognition from the previously mentioned Ender 3, but when I try to research other printers I'm completely overwhelmed by the options.
