    How many of us are still refilling ink cartridges?

    Great question and discussion!! Honestly, I don't refill inkjets anymore... and actually don't even have an active inkjet printer :( (I still have two "new" refurbed Canon i560's in my garage and a box of refill equipment I just can't talk myself into parting with). My only 2d printer is my...

    Elegoo Centauri Carbon - REALLY Tempted To Buy

    She is one of the best no-nonsense / to-the-point / consistent-process reviewers out there. ... oh, and on her "top printers" list, she has the Qidi PLUS 4 listed as "The best-performing fully enclosed high-speed 3D printer (mid-size)"

    Elegoo Centauri Carbon - REALLY Tempted To Buy

    I really have so many issues around spending money and buying stuff! 😔 I think there have been maybe a dozen times that I have put this printer in my shopping cart and almost pushed "buy". ... only to question myself: "Do I really need this printer? Is it really that much better than what I...

    High Temp PLA - Polymaker HT-PLA

    100% agree! After 3 bowden-based printers, and years of not wanting to go to direct-drive, I finally went direct with my Ender 3 V3 SE and QUICKLY became a convert of how much easier it was to load, manage, and unload. I would never go back to bowden. In fact, seeing a lot of the new printers...

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    ya, I'm thinking this will be like when I spent years in tinkercad and then finally moved to onshape, and wished I moved sooner. I'm definitely way more familiar with CURA, and I love how easy it is to just send a print from my pc... but from what I understand, I can do the same using the...

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    If I end up getting a new printer that doesn't support connectivity via USB directly, I'll definitely be spending a lot more time with Orca since it seems like the go-to option for most people.

    Keep us posted on how things go! I really like the print-volume of that printer and it's on my short-list of considerations.

    Great points and ideas! https://auroratechchannel.com/ (which I really respect) gives the Qidi PLUS 4 really high marks, and it's been one I've also had my eye on.

    Prusa's answer to the Bambu and Creality models

    I'm really curious what's going to happen with Prusa over the years. They have a great reputation and have had good products, but I feel like the industry is changing faster than they are able (or willing?) to keep up with. There are just too many other options these days that have better...

    Elegoo Centauri Carbon - REALLY Tempted To Buy

    Guys, I keep going back and forth on buying the $299 Elegoo Centauri Carbon. The value is just incredible and the reviews are pretty solid. I've been pretty happy with my Ender-3 V3 SE, but I do like the idea of a faster enclosed printer that can get both the nozzle and chamber up to higher...

    Combining OnShape, Tinkercad, & Existing 3D models

    I know just enough about 3D modeling, specifically Tinkercad and Onshape, to get myself in trouble. I needed to design a unique water faucet for our Japanese soaking tub... basically something that would hook up to the garden hose and lie flat underneath the cover. The main body parts were...

    A Cr$P 3D printing video - you have been warned!

    I often think i wouldn't really use multi-color that much. Maybe once in a while, but IMO, not enough to justify a full AMS type system. ... but ya, for those that do make a lot of printer poop, a extruder would be cool.

    A Cr$P 3D printing video - you have been warned!

    Wow, Stefan is really grasping for new content ideas for his videos! ;) LOL! ... but I still found it a very interesting experiment. Independent of the type of filler, lots of interesting discoveries around particle size, mixing, etc.
