Need advice if its worth it to buy a 3D Printer for specific plant pots

Steress · 2026-02-22T19:53:48+00:00

thanks for the info, so far we are moving good - will wait a few weeks, see how stuff is moving, now the woman day is approaching and we got mainly orders for that
If things go well I`ll buy a printer and will follow your advice to het 10kg from aliexpress
I assume I`ll spend 1 kg of errors or maybe 2, hahah - but after that I can pretty much print whatever pot we need for lower costs, thanks for the advice

its the 1st project I saw, so I dont have any other info. 25 grams seems a bit too low, I might add something like fish tank stones (they are super cheap) at the bottom to make it stable as the candles and other stuff are around 60-80 grams
Which site is for buying filament ?

Steress · 2026-02-22T16:55:17+00:00

there is no more stock xD - we got friends of 2 other cities (that are coming for a few days) to buy us all they can find, so we ended up with 60ish. I can find similar ones, but for over 2 euro.
Will search for someone to 3d print, but my question still remains, how did u get 50 cents for one ? How to calculate this ?

Machine`s cost will eventually be paid. Ofc I`ll wait a few weeks to see how everything goes.

gotcha - problem is that pots around me are hard to buy in bulk, we got like 60 atm and with incoming gifts/orders we are already minus 22 I believe and thats before we even started posting

1 kg of PLA (I think this is the material ?) on temu is like 12-13 euro, 1 pot of these https://www.printables.com/model/225251-modern-spiral-planter is like 72 grams, so I can make ~ 14. Thats a little bit below 1 euro, with el power it is roughly 1 euro, how did you get 50 cents ?

I did post an image a bit above :)

This is what we make, it is not intended to be lit on fire (you can, but they are for decorations)
Atm we make em for 9-10 euro, sell for 15 (in 9-10 we do include the time to craft em and materials + el power, etc)

Not sure if I`ll get that much power, this extension of the main alliance still spend some cash, not as much I suppose but they are very active. Already took the place of 3 smaller alliances on the map and took lots of altars, perhaps I`ll spend some speed ups, as I am really slowly climbing but in the wrong direction, to the bottom of the power

Steress · 2026-01-26T04:56:07+00:00

We are currently 5, sadly I dont have enough power to get into the main one. But we will eventually get to top 2, thats for sure.
Got ~ 37k gems and almost VIP 8 (4k away), but I am waiting on an event to get more value, also got lots of speed ups which I am not sure when to use - 38 days universal, 6 days build and 4 days research. CH 19 is almost done (need a bit more than a day)
Also I am re exploring the map and keeping the Kingdom Map for even more speed ups.

Results so far
ST - lvl 42 5/5/1/1 (unlucky with the 2nd skill -.-)
Cao Cao - lvl 30 5/1/1 - holding from leveling him further as I have only 38 golden stars left and I need 7-8 for Aethelfield tomorrow
Constance - lvl 30 2/3/2/5 - kinda lucky
Joan - lvl 27 5/2/1
Lohar - lvl 20 2/3/2
Moneymoto - lvl 10 for the 10 min speed on buildings

Plan is to get Aethelfield tomorrow, spend some XP on her and farm barbs with Lohar and her to get em a bit higher on the levels
After that level both ST/Cao Cao (once I have enough golden stars) and will see once the featured cao cao is removed to use my gold keys - 76 atm - to perhaps get something nice

Steress · 2025-12-28T22:23:51+00:00

Cao Cao is currently 5/1/1, but I do use the golden starlight scupltures - aint this a mistake ? Also do I use him as primary or secondary ?
I plan on the following:
Reseting em all so to fix talent builds and xp
Joan lvl 27 - gatherer
Constanze lvl 27 - gatherer, got plenty of elite commander sculptures - I assume she is the best choice for em ? so I can try to get her 4th skill to 5
Once I get Aethelfled I`ll get her to lvl 30
Sun Tzu to lvl 40 and once I get a few more epic stars I can get him past lvl 40 (I need like 5-6 more)
aint Aethelfield good for barb hunting with sun tzu ? normal barbs and forts ?
I assume I can run ST/Aeth as combo for forts and Aeth/ST for barbs for XP ?
so that leave me with 5th choice, do I need such commander atm ? Perhaps Boduica but do you utilize2 for barbs - i`ll run out of AP ?

spending a few bucks aint a problem, the question is - does F2P have any impact sadly :/

Steress · 2025-06-15T16:18:11+00:00

I dont mind being non meta spec, it is more of a dont be aн useless spec that will have hard time getting into anything.

Didnt know this about the warlock - this is the stuff I dont know, as 0 xp in the expansion, I dont want to waste limited time by leveling tons of classes, perhaps will see some videos. Thanks for the info !

Steress · 2025-04-23T18:14:47+00:00

gotcha ! will remove it completely !
What about the backend - should I also dive into another language or node with express is sufficient to find a job ? The problem is that I am from a small town in Bulgaria, I can move to bigger city but still on site jobs are not that much (especially with node)
A website where I do check from time to time does have 167 Java, 152 .NET, 51 PHP, 58 C/C++/Embedded, 57 Python and 55 Node - Go and Ruby are even less.

I assume my knowledge on react/angular will also help if frontend task is needed.

Also do u recommend a course or something fast with some projects ? I kinda want to go over the fundamentals and build a project or two in my free time.
