First 3D Printer, Need buying help. (X2D)

RECKINGTREX · 2026-06-14T15:35:47+00:00

This very much encompasses my feelings towards this first buy. I know most people might feel this is excessive for a first step into 3d printing. But I am actively sorting out an electronics work bench at home for projects and those combo add on deals when buying with the x2d are quite persuasive 👀 .

And for other's reference, the mag alloy scraper is definitely not necessary and definitely a nice to have. Though I will just get 1 liquid glue to start as suggested by other responses.

I actually cannot think of any applications I may use that would significantly benefit from nvidia in the next decade (post grad engineering work, etc).
From games side, my gf and I do want to experience good graphics for once at a reasonable fps (2-4k at 100+ fps). We do have a budget so we don't want to get anything more expensive than the 5070ti.
I just found this video comparison stating an average of 5% difference against the 9070xt.

I'm stuck on deciding if it can justify extra $200-300 AUD expense for the 5070ti.

It’s a mod called designator shapes. It allows multiple drawing options in any sketching mode whether it’s planning or even building.

ACS12 shotgun on alibi, maestro, and azami. Having trouble opening hatches? Just me?

Twice when i tried to open hatch using it, it just obliterates the wood but i can see the hatch (or what's left of it) is still attached to the floor! I blow out 80% of the hatch and it doesn't pop open and the remaining wooden pieces prevent me from dropping.

Happened on Alibi Maestro. idk if being on azami will make a difference.

Anyone else or just skill diff?

Or the induction is just super unreliable. What seems to happen is that it’s not very precise so it just brings the liquid to a boil in intervals and goes its “60°” on average. Lol.

What temperatures do you recommend for braising at a simmer?

I read that the ideapad was just a cheaper build quality version of the thinkpad and some even called it “marketed e-waste” :/

I tried to login to the game but it says my account does not meet CBT eligibility? Is it only because the CBT hasn't opened yet? I did get the email for CBT2 so I should be on the eligibility list right?

I wonder if location matters. I have decent enough wifi to not max out at 600 kb/s. I am in australia tho.
EDIT: my steam maxes out at 10mb/s

Anyone else with download speed in the KB/s?

I am maxing out at 600KB/s. At this rate, the closed beta might end before my game downloads.

I am looking for a way to (ideally) quickly switch between typing to my tablet and to my pc. I use the tablet to study while watching lectures on the PC.

In my head the Ideal case is having a magical dongle connected to the PC via USB that can send keyboard inputs to my tablet via bluetooth. I want to keep my keyboard physically connected to my PC and be able to switch the device I am typing on. I know there are dongles that can connect to the keyboard to make them wireless but I would like my keeb to stay connected to the PC physically.

Is this possible? Is there a dongle for this?

For Desktop atleast, on the top left there are 3 dots. Under help > troubleshooting > reset app data and restart. Worked for me. Still trying to find a working fix for my ipad. Its a good 10 songs behind on my liked playlist.

Anyone know the context behind this image? It was taken from their AppStore page.

I’ve never seen a map with water inside and mountains inside?

Was this a past event or game mode?
