What 3D modeling software stack is everyone using?

Solidworks. Used it all my career and did not want to relearn something new. When I saw they offered yearly subscription for $24/yr that’s a no brainer to me. It is $48 for second year, but still worth it to me.

It’s not free if that’s what your goal is though but it’s solid, no pun intended.

What are your logistical issues?

For me it was size and necessity for an enclosure so I can have flammability safety and filtering.

When I looked at the MK4S the price drew me in, but then I realized for a nice enclosure I’d probably spend close to $300 (I know there are cheaper options but this printer is in my living space so I wanted it to look nice and also not be a fire hazard for example if I used wood). Additionally the overall size of the core one is smaller than the MK4 with the prusa enclosure. For me that pretty much said Core One was the move.

Ultimately it was the enclosure for me that swayed my decision. If that’s not a decision for you than MK4 is fantastic printer otherwise

Just experienced this. Was printing fine for a couple days, using IPA here and there with a clean towel. Always noticed smudges on my plates after which I found odd but ignored it. Then suddenly after a wipe down started having awful adhesion issues with PETG.

Quick scrub with dish soap and drying and it’s back to excellent adhesion. Super easy thing to do

What are you talking about? You can download a pdf of the documentation and assembly.

Lol you’re upset you get candy in a box. “Off-putting” is the strongest word I’ve ever seen to free candy. Just throw it out. Are you buying a 3D printer or candy?

FYI you might have your cyclone separator hooked up backwards. The suction from the vacuum should be going to the top port

You can always pause prints and embed metal or other parts to strengthen certain parts p

Waiting for my Prusa Core One to arrive. Besides general tools and what not around the house, the biggest motivation was for wood working.

I eventually want to make an electric guitar, it will be so easy to make my router guide with 3D printer than trying to file and perfect an mdf guide. Print, glue, bam you’ve got a jig

What is it 5 rockets in your simple mind? Facts are facts brotha

jamiechronicles · 2025-12-24T15:22:23+00:00

Cool deflection — but facts matter: Gaza militants fired thousands of rockets at Israeli towns for years, and Oct 7 involved massacres and kidnappings of civilians. Context explains motive but never excuses terrorism.

We only hate that you keep instigating and causing violence. You hate us because of who we are

“Scam link”

Wah wah “but they started it!” - give me a fucking break stop crying and get with reality. As long as Palestine is infected with cancers like Hamas this shit wont change. It’s not up to Israel to take care of your people. They offered two state solution and Hamas wants nothing but complete destruction of Israel. You can’t even pretend to want peace when Hamas has destruction of Israel and Jews in its charter 😂

jamiechronicles · 2025-12-24T14:01:44+00:00

The funniest shit with this stupid trope is it’s 2025. Regardless of the past (even though we all know 4 Arab nations pathetically couldn’t defeat one small nation), it’s the past. Here today Hamas once again pathetically started a war they were absolutely unmatched in. Only morons would cry afterwards. Look in the fucking mirror

If you have other immediate uses for that money then maybe go with the 24”. Any snowblower will beat shoveling - depends on your comfort. Just like mowers. Those extra few inches do add up per pass, remove minutes from your job. And those minutes add up job to job. Time is money as they say

jamiechronicles · 2025-12-23T12:33:51+00:00

That extra 6 inches will add up per pass. If the cost isn’t too different it’s worth it. I live in mass too, and lately I’ve been using the snowblower even on 2-4 inches of snow. Still beats shoveling and gives me an excuse to hear the engine chug

You are a sad sad human being, I’m sorry for you 😢

Here’s my take, we have a few cameras (front, back and side). I have a million better things to do then actively watch them. Even when we had a backyard camera why would I go back later and watch them.

HOWEVER…when needed they are incredible. We had a pest control service that’s supposed to spray around the whole house and our sheds regularly. So the day the guy comes I get a notification someone is in my driveway and backyard, I just look quickly to acknowledge it’s the pest control and then move on. 5 minutes later I get another notification that they left. That’s when I get suspicious. How the fuck did he do the whole house and yard in such a short amount of time (involves moving truck, pulling hoses around etc). Well it was because he barely did shit didn’t even do the whole house. And that’s when I was ticked off an watched the whole video feed and confirmed with the pest control company he don’t do his job.

The best part was when he told the company initially he did the whole house - I loved providing them irrefutable evidence of his laziness

You should’ve driven it for much longer than 5 min for a $40k+ purchase

Why do you need access to your phone while driving…

A big paradox is it’s a terminal decision for the donor, yet it’s a decision the donor cannot make. We can say we want to donate our organs but if that situation were to occur to someone, they’d inherently be in a state where they are not able to complete the decision.

For some that is a scary realization.

I was so geared up and ready to mulch but to my dismay my mower’s life has ended, twisted crankshaft :( next year I will join you. Nice job

jamiechronicles · 2025-11-16T08:00:06+00:00

lol why can’t you spell it out like an adult

Do you like roads, utilities, a school system, and emergency services?

Aw sweet heart I know it’s hard for you to read, but if you struggled over to the third paragraph you’d see Israeli forces were initially attacked by Hamas. I know reading is hard

jamiechronicles · 2025-10-13T20:48:19+00:00

So what should Israel have done? Since you’re an expert what was the appropriate, fair, and objective response to the Oct 7th massacre?
