Patiently awaiting the revolution

  • I was just going to ask what you bought instead. The thing is, I really liked Kevin. Yes. I named it Kevin.

    Do they think people won't talk?? What a garbage company. I'm reporting their bullshit to the consumer affairs people.

  • Art, for sure. Glue some LED strips to it and make a cool swirly wall thing.

  • I have an addiction to antique crates. My desk is from the 1920s, and instead of shelves, I stacked crates on top of it. It's hideous but it holds everything I need, and it's incredibly sturdy. Between my desk and a 1950s sideboard, there's room for my PC, Cricut, Chromebook, inkjet printer, 3D printer, dual displays, and stacks of filament, vinyl, and other various craft shit. My mouse and keyboard live in a drawer unless I'm actively using them. I have my desk covered with a giant play mat with Middle Earth on it so it doesn't get scratched, and because I am a nerd. All my printer tools live in a 3D printed tool organizer that's screwed into the side of the printer.

    This weekend, I'm painting and mounting pegboard too.

  • They're super sleazy. I bought a K1 on Black Friday thinking the hardware was.. like.. standard? I have a completely different printer, nothing for the K1 is compatible, and the nozzles are $20 EACH, instead of $30 for a pack of 10. Total bait and switch. And they won't respond to my emails asking what parts are compatible.

  • Not Creality. Ever.

  • I will try sending those links to someone who can see them. Thank you for sticking with me while I ranted lol

  • Well I wasn't asking you. I just think the whole situation is bonkers. I'm going to see about reporting them to consumer protection or whatever.

  • Link doesn't work 😞

    It is using unicorn nozzles, yes, but I didn't know that until I needed to replace them. Thankfully, I was still within the return window for the $40 set I bought just in case. But shouldn't I be able to tell which parts I need before they get here? How do I know what to buy going forward? What if I get something incompatible and can't return it?

  • You would think that would be the solution, but no - printer registers itself as a K1, no C or Max or anything else. That's why I'm so confused.

    Neither of these work with my machine.

  • I'm just saying, it's not like I'm buying 3rd party parts. These are direct from Creality.

  • They're Creality though?

  • Slick!

  • I was looking at an engraving kit, actually. And I really don't want to do resin, I live in a small apartment. I'd have to put it outside 😂

  • No one here uses Craiglist, sadly. I definitely don't have Facebook. Kijiji is where I put it. I have had really good luck there.

  • I don't know what any of that means, but yeah, the K1 is a billion times better.

  • Local listings are between $150 for stock, and $200 with upgrades. I think I'll just donate it and save myself the hassle.

  • I thought of that first, actually. I really should just donate it.

  • Really? There are a bunch of these on Kijiji here for what I'm asking. I'd buy a resin printer for $100 CAD if I had a garage, but I see your point for sure.

  • I got Jellyfin set up and available for streaming in less than two hours. Plex kept demanding that my friend buy a pass to download something, so I was like, nah. Jellyfin works flawlessly and is (in my opinion) a far superior option. I constantly had issues with Plex.
