Even without a tire over them, they weigh more than the heaviest tire on the market. So, yeah. Exactly.

I'm not sure why there's hate for Creality—my Hi/CFS combo has been great for me, with only occasional hiccups (in thousands of hours of print time), mostly from my inexperience (like not realizing my filament was brittle because it wasn't dry...)
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the K3 with KliTek pans out. Allowing for zero-purge multi-material printing with TPU, including multi-hardness printing, in particular. Being able to print soft parts with TPU with (cheap) supports from a material TPU didn't bond well with is super exciting, like slippers with durable 95A soles and softer 80A cushioning.
And, AFAIK, there's no printer right now that allows for multi-material printing with different hardness TPU.
When you're vibe coding, you need to narrate long prompts, including things like "And remember not to hallucinate or make any errors." All that is a lot faster to say than type.
Clearly, you're not vibe coding, and your job will be (checks notes) automated away by someone with a #grindset.
/s, in case that wasn't obvious.
The article is very light on any technical details, so it's hard to tell if this is a big deal, someone misunderstanding the hypervisor method that's exploded this year, or just click bait. I'm going to assume click bait.
Edit: the Lemmy.world post had a comment that explains this better than the article:
... An important point though: hypervisor cracks were available exclusively for Windows.
Or at least that was the case until the “Linux breakthrough” was revealed yesterday, which gives Linux the ability to run Hypervisor cracks, and with modern CPUs, you can run the hypervisor cracks without even using a hypervisor.
Support for Linux has to be implemented in the cracks themselves too, though I did read that DenuvOwO (de facto THE hypervisor cracking team) is backporting support to all previous releases :D.
Of course nothing beats actual cracks but then again hypervisor cracks weren’t support to replace them, they’re supposed to ruin denuvo’s reputation by making games pirateable on day 1 of releasing. This will have a bigger effect now that the cracks are with tinkerers (Linux users) who wouldn’t mind a little setting-up to play their games.
I mean, if people wanted to, they could pretty easily. .3mf and .stl files are easy to redistribute, and there are lots of 3D print model piracy groups around.
This is about the pricing of models for hobbyist use, not at all about models being for sale at all.
That is super cool! I wish I had the 50+ spare hours I imagine it would take to go down this rabbit hole... Maybe later this summer!
Thanks for sharing!
CachyOS has been great for me, as a "just works" Arch-based distro that also has freedom to install just about anything (great CachyOS & Arch repos, AUR, podman/Docker, Wine pre-configured, etc.)
I can't speak to EndeavourOS since I never got past CachyOS working perfectly for me.

What makes you think the text is AI image gen? Or do you think the text is LLM generated? I'm deeply confused by your comment.
I hope this doesn't come off as callous:
What an epic mic drop of your father's. That's like something out of a novel/film.
He sounds like a super hoopy frood. Sorry for your loss.
Yeah, and a lot less time, likely, too. CADing that would be pretty quick.
That's a marketing video, of course, but that looks really good. Even ignoring everything else, multi-material TPU printing would be amaze balls since varying hardness/flexibility has so many applications.
I'm going to have a hard time not pre-ordering it to get the early bird discount, lol. I imagine it'll be north of $1K CAD...
... Hmm. Maybe if I start a side hustle selling 3D prints, I can raise enough to buy it?
I know Creality has a reputation for inconsistency, but their hardware is also fairly easy to disassemble and fix with cheap parts, so that's not catastrophic. I was super lucky with my Hi, only having typical issues with filament-related stuff, but I also troubleshot some problems with my friend's Hi, and it wasn't a big deal to fix.
Thanks for sharing!
If I could afford it, that would be my choice.
I'd probably get the Creality Sparx i7 right now, as an entry-level multicolour 3D printer. I got the Creality Hi Combo last year, and it's been a great printer for me, and it sounds like the Sparx i7 is mostly just better.
Sure, but that's not what this is about. This isn't just banning AI-written code, it's banning AI-assisted code. If you even use a Google Gemini "AI-summary" at the top of your search results for something simple like the name of a function, then your code is AI-assisted.
There's no way anyone can detect that. And banning it is silly.
But the point is, imho, that if nobody can tell if it's AI-assisted, then who cares? This is more for them to fire a warning shot that you'd better be sure your AI-assisted code is good enough to pass, or they can reject or and, potentially, ban you without notice.
But then why is it still free on Windows? Remove the basic tier entirely, then.
Especially if you're correct that is a server/client system, then someone will just soon up a Docker container that has all of Windows 11 LTE and the Windows version of this pre-configured, so people can continue to use it in Linux anyway, or switch to an open-source alternative. They're already supporting and releasing Linux builds, so this doesn't seem to gain them anything and, instead, may cost them marketshare and goodwill.
I'm confused.
Exactly right, which is why the hot McDonald's coffee lawsuit had such a high penalty. They were knowingly giving near-boiling coffee to their customers to avoid giving free refills, and knew about the dangers and burns caused to their customers for years.
Punitive damages are the capitalist system answer to disregard for damages caused by products and business practices.
I suppose that makes sense. I almost entirely print short things, and when I do taller prints, it's always single colour because it's a functional piece.
I'm not interested in giant 3D print display art, personally, so I've never run into that challenge. Hell, I set my prime tower brims to 0 just to make it easier to get off the plate.
I don't have one, but I expect they kept that default setting for the reasons outlined above, but because of a lack of poop chute.
I have a Creality Hi, and a 3D-printed poop chute off the side of the printer holds plenty of poop for typically-sized 4-colour full-purge prints.
For really huge prints, I empty once mid print, but those prints last for days anyway, so it's no big deal.
With no need for colour/material purging, I would expect a purge tray to be plenty for a multi-toolhead printer. I can't imagine it purges much?
I don't see the full reason anywhere in the thread; the prime tower is essential to quality multicolour prints. Purging quickly shoots out a high volume of filament to quickly clear as much of the previous colour as possible, but then when it goes to start printing, the temperature and pressure are all out of whack and you get inconsistent flow.
So, if you skip the prime tower, you'll get globby over extrusions and gaps from under extrusion on the first thing printed in that colour each layer, which looks terrible.
That said, the prime tower can be much smaller than default. I set mine to 3mm³ of priming and it comes out 95-100% perfect, with only very occasional blobs on the edge, which pop right off with a fingernail flick (or a deburring tool, if you're fancy.)
Don't skip the prime tower. I did for a few weeks before cluing in to why I was getting 1 bad print on every plate.
I suppose if you're changing filament by layer, then you could maybe skip it, but then definitely don't print outer wall first or you won't get a clean print. But even then, a 3mm³ prime tower is tiny, so why risk it?
Hell, even the Snapmaker U1 uses a prime tower, and it has 4 hot ends; it's needed to normalize the flow after a temperature/flow change (being idle). I don't have one to test, but I expect it would greatly benefit from a bigger prime tower, since it hasn't just been extruding filament as purge to get things flowing. But that's just speculation, as I sadly don't have one to test with.
That makes complete sense! Thank you. I think I have a fix, so including details below for future potential searchers:

So, this confirms that z-hop is on (I'll revert to 0.4, the default), and that Wipe while retracting is likely safe to leave on (default setting).
The problem is the

This confirms that @floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @roofuskit@lemmy.world are correct; Creality Print does not add z-hop on the last layer.The fix, I believe, is to change the Extruder's Machine end G-code from:

3DPrinting @lemmy.world Help! Top surface line when ironing (with z-hop).
Seems fine, for what it offers. It's only 1 layer that slows down that dramatically, then it should be back to regular printing speeds.
You wouldn't want to do lots of huge overhangs, still, but this method will definitely have some really cool applications.
