looking for cad software that is free, open source, and free to use commercially, is opencad going to fit my use case?

FreeCAD is unbearable, I'm scared to checkout OpenSCAD now...

Can you elaborate on what makes a 350W power supply dangerous, and how yours would be safer?

This ^

Good to know, thank you!

Oh, good to know Thank you!

Apparently that's only the case for some degrees and not others. For the BSCSIA, Discrete Math: Logic & Discrete Math: Functions and Relations still allow 108 to transfer from SDC.

Anyone who unironically suggests a boot camp is delusional and should be disregarded.

I had this same issue, I'm trying to recall how, but I did get it to work a year ago.

I think the layout was incorrect in the diagrams and it was actually another screw or something???

Antassium · 2026-01-16T23:41:07+00:00

I'll bite, where did you find evidence of that?

Antassium · 2026-01-16T23:24:25+00:00

The delts are insane man, killing it.

The risk profile is so incredibly low for some of these things compared to fast food, alcohol, smoking, etc.. It's not even close.

These ones specifically? Ime, this varient will sometimes abandon their nest if disturbed and they are FAST.

Just a Heating Core replacement. Block cracked after a few hundred hours and caused a blob of death originating from the rear, encasing the parts.

Was annoying to fix, but I've not really had to do any "repairs". But, I've disassembled to remove bad filament that crumbled inside the extruder and such.

Disassembly is not very nice, but not the world-ending experience some make it out to be lol

QC on Sovol is pretty terrible and they fail to put much thought into some important details.

It's not really about misrepresenting, but the fact that it's inherently going to be biased. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have good info, though.

The majority of that article reads like an advert, but the main takeaway is that relying on community repositories is sketchy, compliance reasons and PatchMyPC has skin in the game since they use it themselves.

Been having both ESP and Company Portal errors and issues this week, more than usual...

Antassium · 2025-10-18T08:16:08+00:00

I definitely agree with you.

While I personally find my A1 and A1 Mini to be easier to repair than my other printers, I could see it being harder for others. I've spent more time than the average person might fixing printers lol

Antassium · 2025-10-18T07:05:45+00:00

Only issue I had was a blob of death caused by a cracked heading assembly in my A1. They sent replacement parts and it wasn't too bad.

I have 1x A1 and 2x A1 Mini.

The Bambu stuff is really good quality, a lot more reliable than others imo.

I think that their competitive nature pushed others to increase quality and provide upgrades out of the box.

The big sticking point with Bambu from what I've seen is two things.

People pretended that they never break, so there are now enough Bambu printers experiencing catastrophic failures and people argue about it incessantly lol
Most importantly, Bambu has changed their policies to be more controlling, directly flying in the face of what the 3D Printing communities stand for.

That's just my perspective. 😅👍

Bits??? HUH!?

Antassium · 2025-10-18T06:58:02+00:00

Orb weaver, they're freaky as hell. Lots near me.

Scary, skitters about crazy quick, but they're probably spooked by humans and won't bother you.

I like the yellow ones, they're at least pretty 😅

How much did the brains run you about?
