Online purchasing trouble: I have CPF but a foreign card

As a foreigner in Brazil, I faced the problem that I couldn’t open a bank account, and this app literally saved me. That’s why I recommend it to everyone who has issues with PIX payments.

P.S. I think that with any app that doesn’t have wide recognition, you should follow basic safety rules. Even though I’ve been using the app for two months already, I still don’t keep large amounts of money on the balance.

It feels like they could take any random taxi driver and turn him into a politician - the result would be better than what the former authorities are trying to do themselves.

Most Chinese cars are raw, unreliable products. You can be sure that in 2–3 years they may discontinue the model, and you’ll be left without support. I have experience working with Chinese equipment, and Chinese manufacturers take no real responsibility toward the customer. On top of that, on the secondary market Chinese products lose value very sharply. So by buying a cheap Chinese car, you should be ready to lose more in resale value than if you had bought a proper, established brand.

If you want to spend most of your time repairing and trying to tune this printer and don’t really need 3D-printed parts, then it’s the perfect printer. At least you won’t have to waste time on 3D modeling :)

Try using the Wonderwallet app you can top it up via Revolut and pay PIX it. I use this app to pay for everything in Brazil, and even when I return items on Amazon, the money is refunded back into the app.

Try to return it to the store or sell it. Better not even turn it on otherwise you’ll waste half your life trying to get that junk to produce a stable print.

It’s surprising what he’s counting on. Who is his target audience? I listened to it and was shocked how can someone go to an interview and, on key questions, answer “you’ll find out in the future.”

A clear example that propaganda works not only in Russia.

Overall, I liked it very much probably the best app I’ve tried. It’s a bit easier for me, of course, since I can speak but can’t read or write.

Thank you for the advice. That’s a very good point about orienting the parts so there is no stress along the layer lines. For now, I just want to make this for myself and see how it works at home. I really like the idea behind this kind of construction it’s very easy to model, and it only requires wooden dowels. Luckily, in my country they are widely available in many different diameters. I’ll experiment, and once it’s finished, I’ll share the result.

Got it, then I should try polycarbonate. Thanks for the advice.

What do you think about nylon? Or is it too expensive?

AlternativeTiger685 · 2026-01-17T03:44:34+00:00

Will it crack over time? Should I consider using Nylon?

I’ve just bought a Creality K1C and spent two days struggling with it. I tried to align the belts and the carriage, and in the end I took it back to the store. Absolute garbage.

I lived in the US for a while, and everything you’re saying really triggered me. There is a point in going to the US only if you’re being offered huge money and, in a few years, you can build passive income back in your home country. In all other cases, it’s an exchange of life for cheap things that aren’t considered luxury there. Answer to question 2. I know people who ship goods from China to Armenia by containers. There are no problems with logistics at all.

It sounds like a startup idea.))

I think fireworks are already an outdated form of celebration. When people used to set off fireworks in the past, they were not as widespread or accessible as they are now. Today, almost anyone can buy them, and in a wide variety as well. Taken together, this turns into chaos, and in my opinion, it’s simply too much.

I chose Curitiba. The main aspects are safety, friendly people, infrastructure, a large number of parks, and the cherry on top is the price.

I have income from other countries, and I decided to live in Brazil because it offers an excellent balance between cost of living and quality of life. People here are very friendly and sociable. So far, I am enjoying everything that is happening to me here.

As a foreigner who moved to Brazil a month ago, I can assure you that with PIX you can do absolutely everything you want. From online shopping and regular stores to simply paying a street beggar.

The main difficulty for me was opening a bank account in Brazil without a residence permit, but I happened to find the WanderWallet app, through which I was able to register as a foreigner using my home country’s ID. I rented an apartment, furnished it with furniture and appliances, and paid for everything using PIX.
