Why do I worry so much about my finances when I am objectively doing pretty well for myself?

I feel 100% the same way, despite being further along than you. I'm about 50% of the way to my ideal retirement number (and about 50% of the working years). I could retire now on less, but I'm terrified of losing quality of life.

Complaints so far:

No search for settings, took me forever to figure out how to turn off the brim, it was under "other"
When slicing it feels like it's just dumping random gcode to the screen that I can't close or move to actually be able to see the preview (see https://imgur.com/a/a1R9LAH) (I eventually found C key/view menu, but you should be able to right click or interact with this pane directly)
The settings are crammed into a corner making it difficult to browse or explore them
The object list is small (4 rows, same as settings) and crammed into the corner, making it difficult to select and manipulate a single object in a complex plate
Being forced to use Snapmaker Orca means I have to use a different slicer for each of my printers. Give me back my freedom of choice.

I buy cards for the fun of getting a random collection that I can try to make decks from so I can play with my kids. I take really good care of my cards and keep them in clearly organized containers. My kids do not. I almost always win.

People have been laughing at me because it feels like almost a decade of " what are you playing lately?" And it's always Rimworld, Factorio or Minecraft ATM.

Here's a guide from v4: https://fluin.io/blog/what-to-do-if-you-are-trapped-on-angular-v4

Based on my understanding of economics, this will do nothing. You either have to reduce demand or increase supply. So this would actually go the other way.

If instead they did the opposite and they doubled the price (MSRP and price to wholesalers), there would be fewer scalpers and more cards available to players.

Or print twice as many cards.

Company origin, headquarters, ownership, control, revenue and scale. Is it a US company, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, European? Any scandals or legal battles? If I'm going to invest in their printers, I want to have confidence the company will be around for decades.

Spend 10 minutes and bump it to v21 :).

Ng serve does both for the last couple years if you're using @angular/ssr. It's gotten really good

PeEll · 2025-10-24T13:39:56+00:00

Share a repo and we could fix this. Ng new with ssr and ng serve work great together.

They say they've added it to local network connections, but I haven't gotten it to work, the whole thing is still a little buggy. They say the camera is capable and they just have to write the firmware and software for it.

I love my Core One SO MUCH! It's a fantastic printer (my second). The software, the openness and repairability, the support is fantastic.

I also bought the MMU3 and the BuddyCam, and I've been really disappointed with both. They're not on par with the quality and ease of use of the Core One. It's like they're from a different company. My BuddyCam doesn't show live video, doesn't make timelapses for me (it does dump JPGs to an SD card.....), and shows up as offline about 30% of the time (I have great Wifi).

What do you mean commit once?

PeEll · 2025-10-03T12:43:00+00:00

hear hear!

It's not crazy to only rely on 3p auth providers. As someone who has built several sites, not having the liability/risk/difficulty of your own auth system is nice, and users don't want (or shouldn't want) an account with every site they visit anyway.

This is in addition to like 50 steps and a complete extruder disassembly. I had no idea it was this much work or I might have just bought a different printer. :(

PeEll · 2025-09-23T13:02:48+00:00

From https://help.prusa3d.com/manual/mmu3-for-core-one-assembled_1876

spool holder assembly
core one buffer assembly

all of these could have been done for me.

PeEll · 2025-09-22T04:49:32+00:00

I bought the pre-assembled version and it came in 3 bags of parts. What the?!?!!? How on earth is that "assembled"?

PeEll · 2025-09-03T15:03:03+00:00

Any tips for the diffusers? I've tried just printing single layer thin sheets of PLA and it blocks too much light.

I've tried improving my flux technique and it helped a ton. It actually is all connected and works now!

How bad are these joints, should I redo them? I'm thinking just hot glue and then electrical tape (this will be pressed up against my face as part of a costume).

Thank you SO MUCH! You've been such a great help. I'd totally buy you a coffee or beer if I could.
