  • Yep. That's the accepted idea. But at our core we are still all pack animals. It's hard to get away from the "lizard brain."

  • Surveyor stakes are the equivalent to peeing on a tree these days.

    And at our core for millions of years we have been pack animals like the wolf or lion or sheep. Lemmy is filled with packs and tribes that will defend their "territory" by expulsion anyone that disagrees with the pack strongly enough. Just as humans have done for those same millions of years.

  • How much more time did it take to swap nozzles for each layer? Bambu Studio has this feature built in now.

    I did a test 25mm3 cube with my A1 mini, and the extra time it took, setting aside the waste, was insane. I know the U1 is fast, but it's still got to add a noticeable amount of time.

    Edit to add: There are two faces you should recognize. The first is very easy, and the second is harder to place. A hint, the second face had a successful second career as a reoccurring bit actor in a several TV shows and movies.

  • So is replacing an electronic door lock and a hell of a lot costlier.

  • I live in northern Minnesota, so we get that a lot too in the spring and fall. But my thermostat is set to auto with a minimum temp of 68F to turn on the heat. And 74F to run the air conditioner when needed. It works with very, very little intervention from me year round.

  • You can just get another re-keyable lock for any added later locks or replacement lock sets. It's not rocket surgery and one of the reasons why you use re-keyable locks. And if you lost a key, just have a new key made. It's cheap and quick. So you are still only needing one key per user. My key ring has a remote for my car, a post officebox key, (they do not deliver my mail to my house), and one door key to the house that has 3 locking doors. The car remote is by far the most annoying thing in my pocket.

    Look, we all want to be part of some cool kids club. I want a new 3D printer because despite my trusty old bed-slingers working flawlessly, I would like a shiny new enclosed Core xy printer so I can be as cool as everyone else with a printer. And if I'm not careful, I can have the same problem with shiny new pocket knives at times. Same thing with digital homes. It's driven by the cool factor rather than any real necessity. So go ahead and connect everything you want. But at least admit to yourself that probably half the reason you do it is just to be a cool kid.

  • My phone has a built-in calendar and is about the only "extra" I use it for. It works flawlessly, and I have no other need for any other electronic calendering system. I do admit to using a wall calendar for certain things too. Old habits as a farmer are hard to break. Ye Gods, how I miss the weekly flip calendars I used to get from Cenex every year.....

  • That's why you have a programmable thermostat. Set and forget. No need to climb stairs, (good exercise), to change the temp.

  • Did you notice your electronic locks all have keys for when they fail? For me, I only need one key for my door lock so it adds nothing noticeable in my pocket. And in all my life I have never seen any home appliance that needed a key to operate-- excepting something like you would see in a laundromat. But you likely don't have the keys for that either.

    As for gates, I've owned a lot of gates to control livestock. None of which needed a padlock. But that is very much a YMMV thing. Still, if you have a need for locked gates, a set of combination locks all set to the same combination or keyed locks with all setup for a single key once again minimizes the need for a bunch of bulky keys. Plus they are all cheaper to install and operate. You can literally operate an infinite number locks with just one key or combination.

  • I've tested it. It's stupidly slow and even more wasteful than just living with the normal ams time sink and waste. With a tool changer or nozzle swapper the extra waste and lost time would be more minimal, but still noticeable.

  • I just don't understand the desire to control everything in your house with an app. It's not like that app can load or unload the dishwasher or clothes dryer. That would be automation I could really get behind. And thermostats are programmable and then left to themselves. Even ice makers are automatically controlled with a microswitch.

    And yes, I did try the internet enabled thermostat thing and found I never used the app. Nor is the journey to the thermostat so arduous that I can't get up and walk over to it if I should ever feel the need. Maybe I'm just too old to get it.

    But if you like it and want it then have at it. I certainly won't stop you from enjoying it.

  • I seldom keep transparent filament around, but I believe you. And everything about multicolor is better with a tool changer. :) The only thing I really like my ams for is auto switching spools when the filament runs out.

    That said, I'm going back to single filament machine for my next printer. I'm considering getting a Qidi Q2 sometime this summer.

  • The latest Bambu Studio 2.5.3 now allows the same process. I tried it on a small test cube yesterday. It works well and is easy to use, but it's quite wasteful and slow.

    And there are limitations in use. It does not do sloped surfaces well at all. The stair stepping shows too much the individual layers to give you an even color blend. Remember: this technique doesn't actually "blend the colors". But rather it fools your eyes into thinking you see one color instead to different colored layers.

    The juice ain't worth the squeeze IMO.
