I say that as a firearm owner and manufacturer. Anytime somebody asks me about my guns I explain to them how any 13-year-old could have done the same thing and how are gun laws are completely broken
You can be pro gun in pro regulation at the same time, fuck all these false dichotomies
In a surprise move, an Illinois judge has removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot based on the 14th Amendment’s so-called “insurrectionist ban.”...
you can thank State Street, Blackrock and Vanguard for buying up the American dream to rent it to you forever. Democrats are trying to limit this by stopping hedge funds from buying homes, which are for families.
When do we start to see corporate assassinations? At what point do we see people start to fight back? We are slowly slipping into full on ‘subscription’ based lives. They are stealing our children’s future away, one home at a time. Essentially turning our economy into slavery 2.0
Because of the extreme prices and demand for homes, my apartment rent went up 24% in October. They are literally taking half my income now. Half my life belongs to this one multi-billion dollar corporation now. The other half goes to my other living expenses. I make double the average American and I am basically a slave already
his persecution is the distraction from the crimes he exposed.
They tell us he endangered our operatives, yet not one example has surfaced in over a decade. You know they would be shouting that shit from every rooftop if it happened.
This is how the USA treats heroes. We persecute them for exposing our evil.
I’ve been dreaming of a future where Uber, DoorDash, etc are devoid of any corporate organization. Developers, drivers and support staff are the only human workers, the rest is organized by a complex, but open source, program.
No investors, no shareholders, every cent goes to the workers. Wages are higher in prices are lower because we aren’t paying five VPs a million dollars a year or sending all our profits to the shareholders.
I think advances in computing and AI could actually make this possible. If only greed didn’t run the world it might be doable
I want free market capitalism that works for us. What we have now if slavery with extra steps
The USA is supposed to be a Country of the people, by the people and for the people.
Free market communism sounds American as fuck to me.
Free markets can exist without corporate overlords, we collectively need to stop believing the Capitalism vs Communism false-dichotomy. Hybrid systems are the future, any other pure system devolves into slavery.
There is billions of dollars in preventing this. Amazon has an entire fleet of people hired for the sole purpose of stopping unionization, which is illegal but they get away with it because power.
This is what happens when money and power write our laws. First step is to get money out of politics. No more millionaires representing people making an avg of 35k a year.
So, I have always wanted to do multi filament printing. The thought of doing multicolor or washable supports has been such a cool idea and I tried to make that a reality all the way back when I bought my Geeetech A10M… And oh boy did I hate it. (Don’t do single extruder multi filament kids, it ain’t worth the headache.)...
There is another option you haven’t explored. 3dChameleon
This allows you to turn any machine into a 4 material capable printer. It is not plug-and-play, but if you already have a printer it’s cheaper than getting a whole dedicated machine ($180).
It can do flexibles too, which I didnt expect it to be able to do. Working on making phone cases with TPU inside and PLA outside.
There is an update coming in April that will make it way easier to configure, with sensor-less detection of filament position.
If you want something that works perfectly out of the box I’d go with A1 combo from Bambu Labs though. The Chameleon takes a little tinkering to get working
If you are comfortable editing GCode then the Chameleon is a good choice, if not the A1 combo looks really compelling. I was torn between the two, but already have 3 printers.
I think the Prusa XL is the best option right now, but the price is crazy high
I’ve ran across a couple, but would like to ask people here if you have any recommendations for good websites that host/sell files for full commercial use?
Learn CAD my guy! No asking for permission if you made the design!
I make between $500 and $1k a month in profit selling my original designs. 3D Printing is so much more rewarding when you can turn ideas into products instead of finding files people made
Profit avg is probably 400. Material cost is about $1 for a phone case, sells for $25.
CAD cost per sale is very low. I have learned to make my CAD workflow way better after doing all these cases. Now I have a plan ahead of time and not a mile-long timeline in Fusion lol.

one of the best 3DP creators out there! I love how he tries to be as scientific as possible and get real answers. There is a lot of bro-science out there and it’s refreshing to have concrete results to go off.
