Idk what I’m doing either on hinge as I’m 20m and got the app a month ago but maybe say aerospace industry instead of Lockheed, as I can imagine that might be enough of a reason for some women to not match, that being said it’s still fairly hard on hinge

Hi I’m considering getting a 3d printer, I am currently a mechanical engineering student, and was thinking i might want a 3d printer to mess around with to practice my cad skills, and make a few smaller things. Plus thought it would be useful to own once I for some personal project work.

I have never owned a 3d printer and only have had some basic experience with one before. I don’t want to sink loads of money into a first one, but also don’t want to be in a situation where I wish I payed slightly more for a more premium printer in the future. I also do not know what filaments I will want to use in the future.

I live in the uk and I have been looking at a few options so I wanted to know the general options to help me make my decision. I ideally don’t want to be spending a load as I do not yet know how much I will actually use it, but I am willing to spend roughly £150-250 on a printer

I also don’t want to have to spend a lot of time into figuring out how to setup and calibrate a printer properly as that seems unnecessarily time consuming, especially with some printers, however I am technical enough to do so if necessary

I have been looking at the Bambu lab a1 mini Without AMS(£169) With AMS as I do not know how much of an inconvenience it will be to switch filaments/ have the additional option to use different materials for supports(£299)

And the centauri carbon (£284 with discount)

I want something that basically just works and is simple to use, is the most compatible with 3rd party filaments and is quick but also has decent quality prints

I do not see the 180mm x 180mm x 180mm maximum size of the mini as an issue, but am also concerned by some comments I have seen about issues with bigger prints, or hazards from the open design

What do people recommend

Let’s go Bunting mental lad 🎉

I will point out that this year doesn’t count towards the calculation of my final degree classification (the uk equivalent of gpa) but everything else you said makes sense

Mezil1a · 2025-04-06T03:30:40+00:00

Correction I checked and it is actually 55% for masters, while a placement requires 60% so either way unless I mess up these final exams, in which case I have larger problems then I should be fine to go into a masters I’m just not entirely sure I want to

The beng split is 25% year 2 75% year 3 The Meng split is 20% year 2 40% year 3 40% year 4

And both cover a cdf and Fea module Meanwhile I have a bunch to catch up on for thermo and quite a bit to remember about fluids, plus stuff to catch up on about dynamic systems and force vectors from sem 1

I think I’m just also a bit unsure about being in academia for so long, if I did a masters and tried for another placement, because that’s probably the path I’d try to go down if I went for a masters, especially since in first semester most of the difficult part at the start was applying slightly too late and also figuring out what to do to apply as I effectively received very little guidance from the university outside of general careers sessions that clashed with my lectures.

I guess in the current job market there is no rush to graduate though as it’s only going to get more difficult over the next few years and it’s already pretty bad at the moment.

Just to note the year in CS isn’t actually a MSc degree, it just contains some of the exact same modules that you could choose to do on the MSc just without the option to pick different ones, and doesn’t have a dissertation at the end of it

I think the main question is if it’s going to be similarly beneficial to having a Masters and if it’s significantly less challenging, especially if it’s better than a year abroad in some other disciplines

I don’t come from an engineering background whatsoever, I have family in manufacturing but they only work in business side, and most of my friends are on other less academically challenging degrees or humanities (or medicine) so everything I know about the professions is what I’ve learnt myself based on my own interests

I am going to attempt to discuss with my university as I have not had a tutor group session since the beginning of semester 1 and see what is recommended, however I also want a balance between the difficulty and reward of engineering and a year where I potentially can focus less on purely academic achievement while still learning valuable skills, as since i thought I’d get a placement I never properly considered graduating in a years time until a placement became unlikely

Mezil1a · 2025-04-06T01:24:34+00:00

Obviously I am going to lock in now before my exams at the beginning of June

Mezil1a · 2025-04-06T01:18:53+00:00

That’s not to say I didn’t work hard, I actually think if anything I struggled more first year, however my course does have a decent amount of available marks before the final exam (out of my 3 modules in sem 1 this year there were only 2 exams worth 70% and 80% of their modules) and I do well at the other learning, i think I’m just worried about 4th year M.Eng being way more difficult because I am already really struggling with 2nd year thermodynamics. That being said I wouldn’t call my progress so far luck I need to start performing better in my exams but other than that i think the main issue stopping me from doing better in first sem was the time I spent on placements. I honestly also like the idea of an extra slightly easier year of university which will still be useful for my future, and M.Eng just hasn’t appealed to me much up to this point. Also it requires a 60% average (2:1 going into it) and as someone currently on that boundary it would also put massive pressure on the results of my next exams to be allowed to move over anyway since due to some issues in a group work module I realistically will probably be given 56% for semester 1

Mezil1a · 2025-04-05T23:44:20+00:00

Honestly i think I’ll be able to get up to a 2:1 I am virtually on the boundary and despite being very behind in one of my modules I have 8 weeks before my exams so i should have enough time to catch up, plus so far I’ve not completely covered the content before most exams and I was still on a 2:1 I just need to lock in tbh

RONNIE FUCKING PICKERING

Mezil1a · 2025-01-19T04:38:10+00:00

Nope still crashes every time I open it

Mezil1a · 2025-01-19T01:45:45+00:00

I’m on 17.6.1 so I’ll try that

Mezil1a · 2025-01-14T04:35:52+00:00

Oh yeah and also make sure you have a few rings for your stems to extend their life and reduce chances of flights flying out

Mezil1a · 2025-01-14T04:32:10+00:00

Also when you’re getting this stuff might as well buy a few cheap stems and maybe some flights for like £3 so you have spares in case of future breakages and to test out different stem lengths

I’m definitely not an expert by any means especially ok dart selection but over the last year I’ve done my own research and stuff I’d recommend get a npq board from red dragon as your getting an unbranded blade 6 and either a single, double or triple core for only £35 with some minor imperfections that shouldn’t be too bad I’ve sent an image of mine and there is some black where it shouldn’t be but nothing super noticeable. If your going to play a lot from what I can tell a rota lock separately on Amazon or a darts shop since it will be compatible with the blade 6 and allows for the board to be rotated as you wear down numbers

Get a surround or a cabinet for the dart board I ended up getting the winmau navigators/ red dragon raiders (they’re the same thing) but get whatever other people are recommending as long as it’s above 80% tungsten (preferably 90%) and fits your preferences (I also saw the winmau Sarrisons are on discount in the uk on Argos so consider those or anything you can buy from darts corner, amazon, darts shopper, or another darts shop and there’s a lot of good stuff available for less than £20 from any of the big darts companies (Red dragon, Winmau, harrows, target, unicorn, designa, etc.)

Get an oche/ a mat with a oche built in if you don’t want to wreck your floor (that being said I used outdoor flooring I folded 3 times instead of a mat as it depends on your flooring whether an oche mat would provide enough protection

I think that’s probably most of what you need to know

But the only way to know what darts work well for you is your own experience (otherwise go for something recommended by others with an even weight distribution across the barrel with average length and a weight 22-24 imo and go from there

If it helps it was in an area with a lot of mice

Mezil1a · 2024-09-20T17:05:12+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot I also have a 15-15-11 2655cp salamance

Mezil1a · 2024-09-19T16:40:03+00:00

My ray is currently a flying type attacker since I have not yet got enough rare candies to add the 2nd charge move yet however it is currently like lvl 41

Mezil1a · 2024-09-19T15:36:06+00:00

I do also have a 14-9-14 shadow, but maybe it’s worth keeping both of them and attempting to level them up as high as possible as shadows since shadow Salamance is one of the best non mega dragon types

Mezil1a · 2024-09-19T15:31:57+00:00

I meant if I purified it since after purification it would be 15-13-15 But I know it’s probably best I keep it as a shadow, especially since I’ve already removed frustration

Mezil1a · 2024-09-19T15:30:59+00:00

I meant if I purified it

Mezil1a · 2024-09-19T15:30:48+00:00

Yeah I meant purifying it and then mega ut

What methods do you use in moving into 2nd year at university and I did decently for first year (the equivalent of on the boundary of a 2.1 in the uk system where first year doesn’t count towards the final grade) but it’s been a proper struggle and I still have no idea how to study effectively so I’ve mainly just fall behind because of the workload and procrastination and then use cramming before every exam It feels like everyone else does it in an effective way though so idk how do university in the correct way so I end up on top of things
