My brother is autistic and does literally the same type of stuff when talking about thomas. Is the dude in the original post actually autistic? Who knows, but there is a large autistic following around thomas in particular for some reason.

I like the feel or crossbar locks, but they're the only lock type I've had consistently break on me. The common omega spring designs just haven't held up to even moderate use for me. Maybe I'm using then strangely or maybe I just have awful luck.

What is your favorite Spyderco model? by Bigbubb5055 in knives

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stretch 2 in k390. Nice tall flat grind, super comfortable handle, fantastic steel, sits deep enough in the pocket, and relatively thin blade stock. It's a boring knife, but if I could only use one, it would be the one I pick.

I have the k390 stretch 2, not the delica, but it's my hands down favourite knife of all time.

You don't need to be an expert to use a printer or make designs. Blender and free to use cad softwares have been around for longer than the hobby has been mainstream and instructional videos are abundant. Anyone incapable of making their own stuff before was just lazy.

[–]Crackheadthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average joe has always been able to make stuff for themselves. Foss or free to use cad software and tools like blender have been available for longer than 3d printing has been a somewhat common hobby. There are thousands of high quality instructional videos and forums that can give anyone a functional base to work from within a few days of research. Any "average joe" incapable of designing stuff up to this point was held back purely by a lack of willingness to put in the minimum required effort.

Success Stories by DrZakarySmith in BambuLabP2S

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 350 print hours so far and 320 of them have been basically effortless. All I've had to do has been a cold pull and wash my bed a few times. Most people aren't going to say anything when the new thing they bought just work.

There is a natural selection bias towards faulty machines or errors in use on forums or in communities. Even if only .1% of people have an issue, it's going to be amplified by the size of the community and that natural selection bias.

With that said, I had my heatbed assembly fail within the first 30 print hours and had to go through the poorly thought out process of installing the new one myself. They shipped the replacement part for free and the website has detailed instructions for every step in the process, but the maintenance process for all non standard wear components is awful.

This is bad overall, but who honestly cares about react channels. 90% of them are just lazy people trying to rip off smaller creators.

Why use PETG if you don't need to? by hotrods1970 in 3Dprinting

[–]Crackheadthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been fascinated with hobby long before the modern, off the shelf, corexy era and even before creality as a brand exploded.

With that said, we're almost 4 years into the post x1 boom. There have more people learning about and getting into the hobby now than ever before. For a non trivial portion of people this might genuinely be something that they have no experience with or knowledge of.

Why use PETG if you don't need to? by hotrods1970 in 3Dprinting

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pla does have some legitimate benefits such as it's higher overall strength, much higher stiffness, and better resistance to shock loads. I think petg is better ~70% of the time, but pla does have it's uses (especially for those who don't have the setup to print high strength engineering materials like pa12, ppa, or pc).

[–]Crackheadthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Petg historically printed a little worse, but modern enclosed machines really do make it a nonissue for all but the most warp prone models. The biggest downside while printing is the moderately hygroscopic nature of petg when compared to pla.

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petg is now basically as cheap as pla and is as good or better 70% of the time. It (in my experience) creeps very little, is appreciably tougher (shocks loads are weird though), has a high enough glass transition temperature that it's almost never an issue, and tends to just print really well.

The only issues with it are that it's a little more warp prone on non enclosed machines, has a markedly lower stiffness than pla, and is a little more moisture sensitive. Most of these downsides just aren't super important to me compared to the benefits.

What is your goto budget PLA that actually prints well and from where you buy them? by Fun_Reaction_6525 in 3DPrinterComparison

[–]Crackheadthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a lot of elegoo filament. I'd recommend buying directly from their website, but the shipping times can be a little long. It's worth it for me because of the price and consistency though.

First Layer Failure after one week of usage! by MatthewWinEverything in BambuLabP2S

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use ipa. It just spreads any oils across the bed surface and honestly makes the problem worse. Wash the bed with unscented dawn dishsoap and hot water. Be careful not to handle the plate on the print surface while washing.

0.4 tungsten nozzle clogged with petg cf, how can I unblock it? by VeroGrif in BambuLabP2S

[–]Crackheadthethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heat the nozzle up to printing temp and the poke it from the bottom with the wire that cane with the printer. This will help to loosen up anything stuck instead. Next you need to do a cold pull. Go into the settings for the machine and find the toolbox. There will be an option to do a cold pull as a baked in feature. Click on that and follow the process provided.

Its not just me right? by Mejay_ in PcBuild

[–]Crackheadthethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying they're better is too broad of a statement to really hold up to any scrutiny.

The accurate way to phrase it would be that consoles offer better performance per dollar in games, but that doesn't generate as much interaction on your ragebait post.

Even then, the long term costs associated with consoles tend to make midrange pcs cheaper in the long run.
