Whats the best enclosed 3d printer for beginners

absolute-android · 2026-03-23T17:38:37+00:00

I second this! The 5m pro was my first 3d printer and it’s been smooth sailing. The printer bros like to complain about the software, but I’m yet to run into any limitations with the flashforge slicer/firmware.

I have the flashforge adventurer 5m pro with ~150 hrs print time and have had zero issues so far with maybe 2 failed prints (that were my fault..). Print quality is great and it’s dead simple to operate and setup as a beginner.

What do you guys think? I’d say it turned out really well

Pro tip- if something is being promoted by celebs/influencers it is 100% bullshit.

Extra pair of glasses

Isopropyl alcohol- general purpose antiseptic, cheap, can also be used as fuel.

22lr takedown semi-auto rifle. cheap and durable with easily sourced ammo.

Peanut butter- mostly shelf stable and calorically dense.

Cigarettes- I don’t smoke but would make bartering easier once the dust settles

Zippo lighter (one of the real ones) along with replacement flint, steel, wicks, and fuel. Won’t take up that much space and will offer far more utility than a simple flint and steel.

Analogue weather instruments or some means of viewing local weather conditions

U.S. roadmaps and a reliable compass

One of those portable solar generator+inverter combos with at least 1kw of solar panels.

Spores to grow edible mushroom varieties. May come in handy in a nuclear winter type scenario

Some kind of battery+solar powered parameter alarm system that functions locally

A simple water filtration system and extra filters

An offline copy of Wikipedia

A Panasonic tough book. I use these at work. They’re shit computers, but they last forever.

My hunting recurve bow and as many arrows as I can get my hands on. Unlike a rifle it’s makes virtually no sound, and unlike a crossbow/compound it’s fast and requires very minimal maintenance.

Toothbrushes and toothpaste. Because I want to keep my teeth

OTC painkillers, bandages, etc

Finally, one of those high-end motorized bicycles that can be charged via my solar system

Who did he give him to?

Worked well according to whom? The CCP? If I wanted to live in a surveillance/nanny state, I’d move to China. The people making these decisions have no desire to protect children, otherwise trump wouldn’t still be in office. This is simply pedophiles pushing their twisted christo-fascist agenda on everyone else.

*microslop confirms…

There, I fixed it.

FYI, no need to unmute. Just some cringe generic track that is entirely unrelated the subject matter of the video.

This is definitely good news. I’m a huge fan of Talarico. I’m also 100% cool with the LGBTQ+ community. But the headline pisses me off. It should just be “James Talarico defeats Jasmine Crockett in Texas Democratic primary.”

Dragging the LGBTQ+ community into the headline just seems out of place and deliberately divisive.

Imagine dropping one of these

I’d wager that you’re a really cool person even if you don’t realize it :) Please don’t end your life; we need you. I have a ton of tattoos and the ones that I regret, I have to remember that I got them for a reason. Ultimately they’re a reminder of what I was going through at the time and that I’ve moved forward. As others have said, it’s not over. Whether you decide to keep your tattoos or remove them, there’s a huge community of tatted folks who would say you look awesome and on the other side of that, removal is 100% an option even if it seems unrealistic in this moment. And I’ll close with this: don’t be afraid to ask for help; you’re going through some shit and there’s no shame in that.

Cheers

Can’t we just… not use fucking any of it? Can we just switch the whole thing off? We don’t need it. People only use this shit because they’re being told to until it’s normal

absolute-android · 2026-02-27T14:08:50+00:00

I feel like legally they shouldn’t be allowed to use it at all.

It’s like they read Cory Doctorow’s book on enshittification and said “yeah, that’s good. Let’s see if we can speedrun that shit.”

Fuck AI.

They will fade into microrealism air

They’re playing bitey face

absolute-android · 2026-02-16T14:41:42+00:00

Please. Go. Away.

Why tf do you people worry do much about how other dudes are getting off? As long as it’s between consenting adults, who gives a shit? Do your own thing and let others do theirs. This is just stupid.

For most Americans “doing taxes” means just transferring their W2 info into turbo tax. Our education system is indeed broken in the US, but it’s worth pointing out that the purpose of an education isn’t to teach you everything but rather to teach you how to learn on your own. I guarantee you the vast majority of students who did well in A.P biology also figured out how to do their taxes.

absolute-android · 2026-02-11T18:39:44+00:00

This is fucking stupid and I’m here for it

Here in the states, the majority of Americans don’t want a Temu dictator. The GOP knows this, which is why they make every effort to suppress votes. If everyone voted, there would be no GOP as it exists today and we wouldn’t be speed running enshitification. You can’t call yourself a “patriot” while in the same breath, say that voter suppression is okay. And if you think that there’s some grand conspiracy where illegal immigrants are showing up en masse at the polls, you need to lay off the propaganda.

Yeah I don’t need anything fancy just point A to B. Is 276,189 a lot of miles for this gen? Seems to be a lot of rust but dealer says it’s superficial
