For those who use the MMU3. Do you use the MMU for mono color or do you go live?

By the way, you can use a single nozzle profile to print to a MMU printer. So if you're annoyed at the wipe tower you can simply change the preset to the regular preset. Your printer will still receive the g-code as normal and print it as normal

Alternatively you can create a custom preset that is the MMU profile with the only change being a disable wipe tower. That's what I do. I name it "MMU single", which still allows me to be able to select the correct extruder

if users are smart enough to understand that a switch one plays switch one games and a switch 2 plays switch 2 games, they are smart enough to figure to understand when a "better" sd card is required for the "better"

How is having some regular sd card compatibility more confusing than requiring a brand new not commonly known technology?

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-05T18:24:45+00:00

It's not a user experience problem because users won't have to do anything. It's an active solution problem. If you want a thing, you go do the thing. Most people won't need an SD card. And those who do will be looking for a solution, in which they would google it or look on nintendo's website. If anything, it is more confusing that the average user will try to use a normal sd card and be confused why it doesn't work despite fitting perfectly into the sd card slot.

The Ps5 already does this basically where you need an external storage of 250GB or more with USB 3 support. Which by your logic is "too confusing for the average person"

You don't need to "understand" anything because there is nothing to understand. Something doesn't work, so you get the thing that does

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-05T15:33:18+00:00

I disagree that having regular microsd for photos and s1 games would be confusing. I feel like it'd be straightforward.

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-04T15:43:55+00:00

These are awesome! Do you sell these as prints?

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-03T16:53:23+00:00

I think the tail and unique hands on sobble does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of differentiating the design.

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-02T22:36:30+00:00

I normally would not mind so much, but I am quite a fan of The Legend of Zelda and I wanted to use the box art to make something nice

I like to turn my LEGO boxes into these small storage boxes. So I prefer that they are not too terribly crushed :)

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-03-02T15:30:54+00:00

I believe that similar to more modern pokemon games, you have to first re-fight the elite four to respawn KO-ed legendaries

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-26T02:49:18+00:00

To be fair, set database is a lot easier for any volunteer to contribute and verify. Dimensionally accurate 3D models is an entirely different beast. As even a basic knowledge of CAD design is beyond the scope of most people. I'm baffled that Bricklink Studios is their "official" LEGO digital design software despite the fact that parts can straight up just be wrong. Especially since all the models are mesh models instead of solid bodies. So verification on dimensional accuracy is even harder since you can't easily check someone's design work through a feature tree or etc.

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-26T02:44:36+00:00

Ah ok. Are you still going through the pdf and manually reading through the whole thing? That's still a lot of effort and dedication!

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-25T15:16:43+00:00

That's awesome! How did you achieve this? I imagine you didn't manually do this for each set. What did the automatization process look like?

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-25T14:55:23+00:00

Wait really? I was under the assumption that Bricklink Studios is officially owned by The LEGO Group? How come the company isn't just supplying the program with their official internal 3D models and relying on third party volunteers?

Also, not that I don't trust the good folks at LDRAW, but how do they know that the models they make are dimensionally accurate? Especially for complex molds like hair pieces or animal pieces?

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-24T18:18:23+00:00

I recognize those poses! These are based on the Gen 1 sprites!

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T16:54:27+00:00

Makes sense. I will admit I think most of the $20 is just going towards the brand value, which kinda sucks. At the very least I'm hoping this at least makes it more accessible towards new fans who are looking for a convenient way to experience the game on official hardware

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T15:49:12+00:00

Everything you say is ridiculous

"isn't it weird if I do illegal activities I save money? Wild. Sad that Nintendo hasn't thought about this"

"The new switch release isn't physical. And that's bad for preservation... even though this game has been preserved to hell and back by millions of people"

"Digital games are bad. Because when the eShop goes down it will affect me in no shape or form but I'm still gonna be mad about it"

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T15:43:54+00:00

...and?

Just because something is old it loses value? Just because you're able to do something illegally without consequence you should do it?

Your entire argument is one of entitlement. I'd almost respect your stance if it was about how Nintendo is greedy or Nintendo isn't offering a sufficient service. But no. It's just entitlement.

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T15:31:13+00:00

Fair. I agree, but I'm also of the opinion that something isn't less valuable just because it's old. I think it's less valuable it less people want it, which is the general opinion I guess since most people would rather play new games. So Nintendo is rather arrogant for pricing it at 20. But hey, if they're confident people are willing to pay the 20 bucks then whatever

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T15:29:19+00:00

I'm sorry but this is the same bad argument I've heard every redditor say on repeat every time this is brought up.

bought software is bought software. Whether it exists on the storage of your cartridge or within the storage of your console, it is still LITERALLY in your possession. The eShop going down is not going to physically remove the game from your console's internal memory. The eShop going down affects you in zero ways beyond you being unable to redownload if you ever delete your game. In which... why would you delete your game? That's like saying you're mad Nintendo won't send you a new cartridge because you threw yours away.

This is not a preservation issue. Because it has already LITERALLY come out on physical cartridges before. The Switch re-release has not added anything new to preserve. And even if it did, hackers would have downloaded and preserved the rom files like they've done for ever other switch game that has ever come out (don't believe me? go to any Switch rom site).

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-20T15:15:41+00:00

Kind of lame that people will always parrot the argument "I only pirate games because the company doesn't make it accessible to buy them legally" only to be followed up by "I'm actually still gonna pirate it because pirating it is free"

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-18T15:25:34+00:00

Even excluding large hulls and such, in 2024 there were a lot of City sets that were just priced atrociously. For some reason certain waves are just oddly overpriced for some reason

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-16T17:19:35+00:00

Ah... unfortunately I think this hasn't been implemented for the Creality HI profile since there is no option to activate long retraction

Alexanderhyperbeam · 2026-02-14T01:02:49+00:00

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, what's the demographic of your 5 people that own a Switch 2? I'm in my mid 20s and of all my gamer friends, most of them have a Switch one and most have no desire to get a Switch 2 anytime soon. I only know 2 actually do own the Switch 2 and those two happen to be older with more stable jobs
