I have been mostly happy with my flashforge AD5X starting as a newbie. Its got a good range of material capabilities, but 95% of the time I'm printing PLA anyway. PLA is the most common filament by far.

I will say I have had two hot ends (the part the filiment comes out of) get covered in enough filament they broke during a misprint ($40 repair each).

I don't really have experience with other makes/models but that is my loose endorsement of the AD5X. My only real complaint is how expensive the nozzles are compared to other brands.

I spun it up it up in may to fool around. Today I opened a brand new air purifier and imeaditley disassembled it to flash ESPHome firmware on it. It never once ran stock.

One thing I've noticed: my self hosted services are rarley, if ever, hounding me to check out features. I cannot emphasise enough how much I loathe a program fighting for my attention.

this makes me feel much better. I'm debating spooling it up on wifi after disconnecting it and piecing it back together.

That makes sense but also it seems like you just like adding extra round characters to the end of things.

thank you! I had looked at the documentation but was unable to find that. I think to be safe I'm going to follow what @autriyo@feddit.org said as well. There's no reason not to label them.

Which means, sorry future people stumbling on this, I will not be providing definitive evidence one way or the other on this.

This. I'm smack in the middle of prepping for this. A friend came out and visited and helped me start boxing. I have another who's coming out to drive the truck. I could but he's got his CDL and is willing to do it.

Getting movers that drive the truck out of town is expensive, but in town, or just some big dudes to load/unload is much less. Everyone's financial situation is different but I was shocked at how different the price of those two categories was.

It was actually very low effort! There are a number of image to STL converters. I used this one: https://imagetostl.com/

Like you can see it'll flub some stuff. I would have been better off filling in the areas of text and doing the emboss manually myself, but I just wanted to hit print. 2% infill, I think it was like 2.5g of filament and 20mins.

It's fun to screw around with that process. I'm tweaking one of my friends cabin to use to make a mold. My goal is cast concrete or something similar so I can pound some thin copper around it, and be left with a cool wall decoration.

You don't know me. Everything I've ever printed was critical.

Literally why I got mine. If you're losing motivation use 3d builder. Use blenders clay tug and pull function to make something hideous.

Did you think shadow of innsmouth was warning you about the fish? Nah man. Evil H2O.

That makes one of us. Fluid dynamics gets screwy.

I'm only going to be a pedant because that's sort of the point of these conversations, that's not a bad interpretation and I appreciate you posting it.

Edit re-reading your answer we might be saying the same thing. Leaving incase this version lights someone's bulb

BUT, it's not so much that it's "distributed" as that, so long as the boat floats, there will be a mass of water displaced exactly equal to the mass of the boat. In this case it's displaced off the bridge (off either end). There is zero force being applied up or downstream (except during the initial transition). That's the fun thing about incomprehensible fluids, every infinitely small point at the bottom of a water colum ONLY has the force of the column above it acting on it. A pressure gage will read the same for a square mm or square m.

Spot on with the bowl though. The displaced water can't leave the system in that case so the masses add.

Heres the action lab video BTW! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUq_tM3yGTM&pp=ygUKQWN0aW9uIGxhYg%3D%3D

Here's a fun fact action lab pointed out: setting aside wind, etc, the load the bridge has to be designed for is only the water that fills it.

That bridge will have the same force on it from a tanker or a kyaker.

So I have a FlashForge AD5X with the MMU. It worked amazing out of the box, including flawlessly doing some TPU. They actually mentioned the MMU was designed with TPU in mind. That being said: I have been struggling with basic PLA, even after swapping to nozzle that has run only PLA (even though I only ran <10g of TPU through it). I am still new to a lot of this, and don't feel experienced enough to fault the hardware. What I can say though is it does seem folks are specifically improving the ability of MMUs to handle flexibles. A big reason I got it was to be able to do ABS parts with TPU gaskets. Ask me in a few months.

Same here. Printing something like say, a cow, with frequent swaps would be wasteful, but I'll do parts with 1-2 color swaps. It's mostly nice as you said though to have multiples "locked and loaded" to do a 1 filament print.

I cannot emphasize enough how unwilling I'd be to interact with someone that has these.

Absolutely. I don't watch every giants game but it seems like the hallmark of his career is keeping games close... Regardless of if they should be easy wins or outright losses... For a quarter or two and then imploding.

Hope they sort it. Giants cost my bills historically but also cost tom brady, which means I like em.
