I feel like I definitellyyy saw a CMYK printer in a VOD of some printing convention a couple years ago? It was presented by some company and looked huge and expensive, wish I could remember who they were.
Meeting with your various neighborhood planning committees, sending/being a representative at the larger region's committee of neighborhood committees, etc etc.
That's why I switched too. I installed the latest Audacity on a work computer, after using it lots in the past, without knowing about the Muse group situation. The install kinda tricks you into also installing their Muse bullshit along with it
If you do end up replacing the whole laptop, oddly enough I happened to be looking into the same thing today. Two sources not in your list that you might want to consider: Starlabs and Purism.
I don't wanna go Framework because of the aforementioned CEO shenanigans. Both System76 and Tuxedo are ultimately selling priced-up rebranded Clevo laptops, for better or worse. Both Starlabs and Purism, I believe, custom manufacture theirs like Framework does. I'm leaning Starlabs because I need something that can run at least some games, and it seemed the better contender there
I did and I even agree! Ours just seems to be a bit of an anomaly, or else we're just way too tolerant of jank lol. Definitely wouldn't get a second printer from them
We have an ancient Ender 5 Pro in the library makerspace that's running pretty much constantly, and it was already well used when it first got donated to us. Granted, it's farrrrrr from our best printer, but it's pretty reliable! I barely even maintain or upgrade the thing lol
I refuse to use any extruder without easily accessible gears anymore, for that exact reason lol. Using a Galileo2 on a Stealthburner I'd get flexible filaments wrapped around the gears alllll the time, and disassembling it was super annoying. Now it's wristwatch style all the way!
That's what I was thinking about saying too... They're probably still mostly right, in the sense that this is a company and companies are almost always primarily concerned with their profit margin, not the environment. However like you said, most things now are made out of plastic, most plastics are made from fossil fuels, and fossil fuels need to be retired like yesterday.
WHOAAAA this is so exciting!! Nevermind the awesome mechanical properties, let's hear it for the somewhat better environmental impacts!
Materials science folk will hopefully weigh in on this, but it's my understanding that PA11 is more sustainably produced, but breaks down at a similar rate to other polyamides? I think I heard they did find some things that'll eat it though.
Either way, an improvement is an improvement. Now if only Prusament would get into PHA 😈
Does that bed have a PEI coating? PETg can stick to PEI so well that the combination is relatively well known for destroying beds. Plenty of people still print that way without issue, but it depends on having your first layer really well dialed in, or putting some adhesive between the two.
PieFed communities do have reddit-style wikis attached. They work pretty well but don't federate. Like somebody else mentioned, i think Ibis is closest we've got.
