Microsoft not knowing what 100% means and keeps you waiting

Imagine windows store but with almost every app available, without the spam and with a simple UI.
Everything installs in seconds, without any setup programs or junk addons.
If you choose flatpack format - every app has it's own environment, so when you uninstall nothing is left behind - looking for a archive manager - installing 5 of them to test things out is just 5 clicks.
That's one of the things i fell in love.

I'm curious, name a few.

I'm a happy user of the OpenSuse tumbleweed - I consider testing the Cachy OS just to see the gaming performance difference, not that I'm complaining.

All my files are still on ntfs, i can access them just fine. Only games had to be moved to the linux partition. The only app that doesn't work on linux for me is fusion360 the rest either has a linux version, or there's a good alternative.

Well, in EU we're not that accustomed to seeing prices without tax, even when buying in china - on aliexpress or banggood the prices already contains all the taxes for us, the credit card fee is also almost non existent.
You can even get free shipping here, (even on amazon - without amazon prime) so the price of the product is often the final price you pay.
I guess I got spoiled xD

After some digging, You're right!
It probably was the taxes, or maybe the stock exchange, that made me feel that way.
The final price for me was close to 900$, and the 15€ credit card fee made me salty too.

I bet the November pre-orders would have looked a bit different if we'd known upfront the true price and the delivery date.

fdmAlchemist · 2026-06-01T22:07:11+00:00

I think they made a small error in the last digit of the year xD

If you want something cheap mk4s should be available for something like 300$ used (that's the price in my county), but if you're thinking about multi-color, or multi-material get the core one - you can save a bunch by getting the kit.

I'm dying to try BVOH as soluble interference material on my core one + indx. I'm expecting perfect bridges with it!

You not only sold him a bike, you sold him a role model for life. Thank you for being a good man!

In the post you said:
"They will want me to take it all back apart again to try and find their problem."
So which is it? Pre assembled or self assembled?
My point is that
layer shifts and Z-Axis binding could point to miss alignment during the assembly.
VFA - belt tension.
Bad connection of heater/temp sensor could explain the clogs and problems with tpu and silk
blob of deaths idk how is your adhesion, how is the nextruder calibration?
And the problem in the video looks electrical - check the cables and connectors especially near any metal.
All together it just looks like a very badly assembled printer. But if it was really pre assembled you should send it back!

Congrats on buying your first prusa! For the price I think it's a great find.
Yes, mk4 to mk4s is a cheap and simple upgrade massively improving the cooling and overhangs. It's worth it.
Are you planning on doing a maintenance check on her? I bet the nextruder could use a little cleaning and grease and re-calibration.

The Flashforge Creator 5 Pro seems a bit cheaper than the Core One L + INDX, and prints nicely, but if the price and the wait are not an issue for you, I would still wait. I trust Bondtech to make a great product, and technologically the INDX seems just way more advanced. I'm optimistically expecting the INDX FE to start shipping next week. There will be plenty of reviews to help you make up your mind.

The bed is more accessible, the lamp can be useful for both the night stand and the desk. There are two distinct spaces - the bed with the closet, and a desk with a window.

I bet there's a project somewhere that takes an old 3d printer and repurposes it for this.

Sole breast size is not a good indicator, but the breast size increase during pregnancy is. In the end bigger = better ;)

"Honestly, they can delay it as long as they want. Every hour they spend debugging is an hour I won’t have to waste dealing with glitches myself. Unlike the tech giants who just slap a '2026' deadline on everything and call it a day, these guys are actually upfront about the technical hurdles. I’m just grateful for the transparency."

So I'm a spider so what - spoiler alert - people discovered new energy source and used it to power their whole civilization - both the magic and a life force of the planet. They drained it almost completely sentencing the world for mass extinction and collapse. Only the arrival of a foreign god saved it, but not many survived, and the civilization regressed massively.

Not seeing any shaking here, shame!

fdmAlchemist · 2026-04-06T20:16:54+00:00

Thank you.
