  • Prusa's are probably the best value in 3D printing if you intend to be in it for the long haul due to the support Prusa provides. I'm pretty sure I can get support for my 7 year old Mk3s if I were to ever need it.

    Bambu fan bois literally complain about wanting to return their new printer they bought a month ago so they can get the latest new model that was just released. I read an entire thread about how they were upset that Bambu didn't give them a month or two notice about the release of the P2S so they could have waited to buy that instead of the P1S printer they DID buy.

    Prusa owners tend to not be in an eternal chase for the shiniest thing.

  • I've never been a gamer in the 20+ years of using linux. And I've never given it much thought. So this is impressive I guess.

    But hey, come for the gaming and stay for the freedom, security, and choices.

  • One last thought that I would leave you with: Air filtration. If you wish to eventually want to print some of those engineering filaments, or even the old standbys ABS/ASA, you need to have a working air filtration system to remove hazardous particulates and VOCs. This means activated charcoal filters. Some brands are better at it than others, but most of the manufacturer's are at least acknowledging the need for it. And some few want you to believe their marketing over actual performance-- cough, cough Bambu's new P2S cough.

  • Prusa's work just fine out of the box. And if you have a problem, Prusa is well known for their support for their printers for years. But Prusa also allows a bit of tinkering if you decide you want to. But it's not necessary.

    I don't know what kind of farming you do, but if you think you want to print some repair parts for farm machinery, you are probably going to want to use some of the expensive engineering filaments for best results at some point. Qidi is the only really accessible consumer grade printers really capable of high end engineering filaments. I would recommend the Qidi Q2. It's capable of printing filaments that other brands can't. Plus it has the first and only printer certified by MET, a testing organization recognized by OSHA.

  • Settings from Cura to Orca?

    Jump

  • Not to be mean or a dick, but this is where you learn how to be a real 3D printer person and get some advanced skills in running your printer.

    If Orca spits out usable g-code, then you do have a starting point. Even if you don't like it. Go through the calibrations suite that Orca provides. Then start adjusting things. If your printer isn't printing fast enough to suit you, adjust the speeds up. You should know how fast you printed under Cura, try those speeds to start. You can tweak the acceleration and jerk also if needed, (just make one change at a time and document it). But you need to make those changes. Ain't nobody else can.

    Because no one here knows anything about the condition of your printer, what materials you are using, or what you are printing. So no one can tell you anything. It's going to take time, filament, and effort to get things how you want them.

  • Yep. I was 6'4" by the time I was a junior in school and I had a large physical advantage is sports. But size isn't the only advantage either. Skills and co-ordination with team members matter more.

  • I used to be. And it's been a longass time since I was. But I have raised 4 kids AND I have taught math in a school. Kids, and all humans for that matter are competitive. From skipping rope, to running, to racing lawnmowers, to bake offs, and gardening. Humans have an incredibly wide streak of competition.

  • The kids WILL turn everything into a competition no matter what you think you are doing to prevent that. Humans are naturally competitive. Like it or not.

  • Settings from Cura to Orca?

    Jump

  • Tune your settings just like you did with Cura. Does it take time and effort? Yes it does, just like it took time and effort to tune Cura.

  • Many retirees ain't 'living large' as you seem to think. Many need to continue to work to afford groceries, pay rent, and buy medications. So many medications. And medicare doesn't cover everything you need when your old. You pay for the Part B medicare, a minimum of $150 per month and the cost goes up if you have more money. But you STILL nee to buy extra supplemental insurance to cover the things medicare doesn't cover. So several $100's more a month for insurance. And do this while on a fixed income........

    If you weren't living large before you retired, you ain't living large after you retire.

  • Yeah, that will work out well. I cannot think of a sport that is played in school that would fair to the girls if all sports were mixed teams. By the time kids are 13-14 years old, the boys are starting to get to be bigger, taller, faster, and stronger. And the disparity only gets worse as they age.

    And one of the driving tenants of sports IS to teach competitiveness.

  • Calibrate Routine

  • I recommend you start here if you haven't done all of these already.

    Otherwise, I have found Orca to have all the filament calibration tools I need to use.
