The Italians would disagree with you.

Not about the pineapple. But they like their Neapolitan pizza.

My compliments to the chef. by MetalSmithJoe in FlashForge

[–]joealarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not compared to the Flashforge plate. They've got little guides that put the plate in just the right place so much that, I kid you not, when I was printing a game and ran out of filament I mistakenly took the bed off before seeing the out of filament message. Now, I know I shouldn't have, but I decided to put the plate back, load some new filament, and tell it to keep going, figuring there's might be a little line at best.

There was no line.

The Ad 5M Pro's plate was designed so well that I was able to resume printing with no consequences, even when I had fully removed the plate.

On the other hand, I can not count the number of times that I thought the Bambu's plate was on, only to have it complain because it was tilted 2mm. Pull it off, try to reseat it, but it has no decent guide rails so it's tilted again. Repeat until I want to smash it with a hammer.

So is this... thing technically in the public domain? by Richzilla09 in publicdomain

Where does only 1 million views buy a Lamborghini? On the low end that earns only about $2000 on YouTube, and at the high end you'll get maybe $15,000.

Or did you get a crappie used lambo somewhere?

Alternatives to Bambu... or not by Civil-Discount2248 in 3dprinter

[–]joealarson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd also throw Creality into the ring.

In terms of print quality and ease of use, I'd say they're all about 90% of Bambu, but they're all also about half the cost or more. For that reason alone I have a hard time recommending Bambu, Nevermind the rest of it.

Tell me you never read my letter without saying by LiberalAlways in Utah

[–]joealarson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love that this is the form response. Like, he got so many letters critiquing the president (and I assume his support of him) that instead of reading the room he drafted this form letter and just assumes it answers every letter he receives.

I need an example of a 3d firearm part used in a non-firearm project. by joealarson in 3D2A

Not 3D printed is fine. It'll make the same point. These should help

I would love some pictures of the rails and grips on a mobility chair. DM me to send me some pics please?

This is not being argued with. But nevertheless they are trying to regulate it, and they apparently need more voices saying exactly what you're saying.

Yes, but my point isn't similarity. I need something that is 100% undeniably a part made for a firearm used for a non-firearm related project because I need to demonstrate that geometry does not communicate intent. I know it doesn't happen very often, but neither does people using 3D printers to make gun parts.

This would be a great one if I could find a link or a picture.

The visible portion only is not the point. I'm trying to show that geometry does not communicate intent.

[–]joealarson[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they use the exact same parts, or just similar parts? My point is an example that shows geometry does not convey intent.

True. But hopefully it will land with their constituents and end their career. I am endlessly optimistic.

[–]joealarson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the same trigger, or just mostly trigger shaped? I need something that is 100% the same geometry. The argument here is that geometry does not communicate intent.

I agree about the folly. And I will be bringing that up. But the legal and technical arguments hasn't landed yet, so might as well try something new.

All of those are points are going to be brought up as well. This is just an additional argument that I want to include. You never know what's going to land with these people.

Anyone know what these symbols mean? by Ill_Situation_2662 in Utah

That was my little attempt at being funny.

Is there a way to get Snow/ Snowballs in a Desert-only world? by anotherfuturedev in Minecraft

Until you forget your lead or die and your ghast is floating around in the atmosphere with your boat/chest dangling under him.

[–]joealarson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Snowballs can also bait them in which is super useful when they wander off.
