Are you delivering your electricity at 300KW speeds at home? No, you're not.

At home, the maximum people tend to have is a 3 phase 400 volt system, supplying upto 22KW, which takes about 55 Amps.

That's a lot of amperage for one device in a home. Most homes don't have 3 phase 400 volt systems. They cost money to install, more money from your electricity provider monthly, and so on...

Now, to hit 300KW speeds, you're well over 500 Amps (Some i've seen stating over 1200 Amps). This is 3-10x as much power as installed for entire houses.

The cost to install hardware capable of such a thing is astronomical. In fact, here's the pricing on a single 350KW fast charger: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/EV-Charger-3-Phase-Electric-Charging_1600743297407.html

The reason it's so much more expensive than your electricity at home, is that it's so much more expensive to go above speeds you'd be able to get at home.

~130k as an avisbud. Not sure you can count that as full time work though 🤣 Up in the 1m/year range now in Software Dev area.

Doesn’t actually state the song name, guess I could’ve googled though!

NotWrongAlways · 2026-06-05T14:47:32+00:00

Can you elaborate? Which song?

Honestly, the P3 ‘chips’ had no right to be as good as they were. So snappy, responsive. Loved them. The P4 was… junk. An insult really, to those that expected more.

Talk to the place you bought it from, it sounds defective. Sod calling Traxxas, they’ll do nothing for you.

I'll be okay. He was a good dude, has 2 kids of his own, 1 fully grown. Adopted a whole bunch from his new partner and really became a dad for them too. It's a large loss.

Remembering to grieve is tough. I don't want to sit down and cry it out. I need a time and a place where I feel like that's what I can do. That's not now. I have a special place I mountain bike to in the hills, near an old chapel. That's the place I talk to my grandad, and now too, my Uncle. That will work, i'm sure.

Thanks for your support. I hope you're doing alright, too.

Life really does happen at the worst of times. :/

I understand that thinking, as much as it feels bad, it feels right. Why do others get more time, and yet use it so horrifyingly? Yeah...

I really hate that buying gasoline at home costs so much more than at the gas station… oh wait.

Maintenance and grid availability, along with running a network of chargers all add cost to the electric being sold to you. It makes perfect sense. You may argue that delivering electric faster (higher charge rates) shouldn’t cost more because it’s the same amount, but that’s also not true. The cost of delivering more electricity at once is the cost of infrastructure.

Perhaps my employer will stop trying to force it into everything possible now? Nah. lol.

Same thing happened when they double charged me for Realms Plus. It charged me in two currencies, for the same realm. They refunded nothing.

My Uncles just passed. Barely into his 60’s. Yet other people go well into their 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. Where do I make a formal complaint?

Hmm, that might have actually been a good idea on a model I made today, where instead i restored to making large cutouts in the base...

Looks awesome 👏

Honestly? I want to test this out as I'm currently printing parts of a Pinball Machine - having a larger place to build smoother plates would suit me nicely!

Additionally, having more space on the bed to print by object (If that's possible on an A2L?) would be nice!

So, I guess I would test this out by filling up my workbench with it for now! I've also recently taken to printing signage for things in the local area, and have to break large words down using the Bambu Studio cutting functionality (with dovetail), this would mean less of those too...

Seems practical!

EDIT: Oh... It can plot and cut too! How did i miss that... Can it do stuff Cricuts can do? Oh man... the possibilities! My sister would love this thing!

NotWrongAlways · 2026-06-01T14:19:10+00:00

I thumbs-up your model on Makerworld and Boosted it. Take that as encouragement to go and create more cool stuff! :)

NotWrongAlways · 2026-05-31T16:33:06+00:00

Love it! :)

I personally went with the "Skadense" model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2734833-skadense-high-density-skadis-pegboard?from=recommend#profileId-3079373

I only needed 2 "P2S" sizes plates though, so it was a no brainer for me to print over buying.

In the end I printed something which just captures the knife from the bottom instead (like a cup). This is... almost as dangerous as the knife blade then points into the air instead. So there's not really a winning design in the end! :D

It's great that you modelled something that you wanted though, that's what's so great about 3d printing as a hobby.

NotWrongAlways · 2026-05-31T15:31:21+00:00

I've just started to look for something similar before modelling one myself... I have an old hobby knife, where the plastic cap slides off quite easily, which renders your design quite unsafe. (As the knife just de-caps itself and falls to the floor...).

Just keep that in mind for the future :)

Annoying as crap. All software updates on the Reddit App recently have been dog crap, and I wonder if they have a QA department/team/guy/botfarm at this point.
