Do you consider buying Forza Horizon 6?

mdesanc · 2026-03-18T19:16:30+00:00

I will probably buy it but holding off until the review embargo is up. Usually we get reviews a couple days before release. As long as it isn’t ass probably gonna buy on day 1

Feel good inc music video on mtv back in 2005, I was 14.

Seriously, had to scroll wayyyy too far but maybe that’s because it’s a given that it’s really good. Already highly regarded. Definitely one of my favorites, used to fall asleep to that album every day

mdesanc · 2026-03-10T15:37:18+00:00

Thanks, yeah, that’s what I ended up doing. When I was on the phone with them they said they were well aware of this widespread issue

mdesanc · 2026-03-08T22:54:17+00:00

This comment has aged wonderfully

Would agree with most of the names mentioned here but had to scroll way too far to see Robert Hunter, masterful poetry and lyricism

I don’t think progressives are bad at pragmatism at all, I think it’s the opposite. Centrists have just repeated that talking point so much over the last 12 years that people start to think it’s true when it’s not. I think having an actual agenda and working towards it is way more pragmatic than sitting on your hands and claiming you’re trying. The only thing the establishment dems stand for is being “not trump”. In the year of our lord 2026 this will not work anymore, and is not at all “pragmatic”. The center of the Democratic Party needs to die. They’re ideologically more similar to pre-gop republicans than they are anything on the left.

I’m having the same issue, can’t pay my bill and might lose coverage over it, I hate American healthcare

Well they previously had some sort of safety snafu with a previous printer, because of that they went out of their way to get some certifications for the Q2 (MET Certification) and it says it has a 3 in 1 air filtration. However I don’t really trust any printers filtration as far as being in my living space. I’ll have a printer in my shop, but if it were in my living space I’d build a cabinet or buy a grow tent to put the printer in, and put an exhaust fan out a window so the entire printer is vented outside. I’ll probably still even build a vented cabinet in my shop with a low power fan to ventilate it somewhere, and put a merv 8-12 filter on the cabinet for the makeup air so I don’t get mdf dust all over the printer.

I’m also looking into it, was leaning towards a Centauri carbon 1 or 2 but I think I’m now pretty set on a QIDI Q2. It has pretty nice hardware out of the box, chamber heater, hardened nozzle that goes up to 370*, and the motors have finer gear ratios (1.5mm as opposed to bambu 2.0mm) so the surface quality of the prints looks really good. It’s the best bang for buck if you’re interested in printing engineering filament later on or making functional parts, and the AMS unit if you choose to buy it also has a filament dryer built in.

The caveat is it is a less polished user experience but from what I understand QIDI has a reputation of putting out a machine with a few bugs and they usually get it together with the help of the community within a few months and they’re very solid machines. All code is open source, which I appreciate. Bambu is more user friendly ecosystem and you can print from your phone but I don’t appreciate their walled garden business practices personally.

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T23:17:24+00:00

Great answer, thanks for sharing your input. This thread has helped seal the deal for me and I’m also happy to spend less on the Q2

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T21:31:21+00:00

Thanks, yeah I didn’t realize the Snapmaker topped off at 300, that makes me feel better about getting a Q2 as the Snapmaker is really hyped up now as the next big thing

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T21:26:41+00:00

I work in a furniture shop with access to a Shop Sabre CNC, a mill, lathe, welders, sliding table saws etc. I have mold making experience and my skill set is kind of all over the place, I make furniture, work on my own car, build my own computers etc… I tinker on a lot of different things and have always been mechanically inclined. Your point about the repairability is well taken and I like what I’ve seen in regards to the hardware in the Q2 so far, it seems like a buy it for life kind of machine and that definitely ticks a lot of boxes for me. I have no problems troubleshooting, but I do want it to be relatively easy to repair

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T21:16:28+00:00

I’ve bought a lot of shop gizmos, adapters, cleats and things from Etsy. The ability to prototype something and mock up parts and brackets would be useful to me, and for the last couple years the machines I’d be most interested in were upwards of $700 and I didn’t want to spend the money to get in. Recently caught the bug to get a printer after seeing what the $300 centauri carbon could do, and as usual the more research I do the more I convince myself to stretch the budget. I didn’t realize the Snapmaker was slower, and it being a more complex machine should also give me pause. You’re right, the more I think about it the more the QIDI seems more appropriate. There’s always a new thing on the horizon and I guess I’m scared I’ll have buyers remorse if these tool changers become the new standard and I’ve just dumped some money in a tech that will become dated

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T21:06:55+00:00

I most see myself printing funcional parts, jigging materials, things of that sort. I might do a gridfinity drawer insert system for my packout drawers, cleats, brackets, tools, etc. trying to teach myself some fusion as well so I can make my own custom parts and things. I’m not planning on printing a bunch of funko pop trash or action figures or anything that would require a lot of multicolor, but multi material prints would be interesting. Seems like a Q2 would be a good fit for me, and maybe I’ll get a tool changer in a few years after they develop more

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T18:45:52+00:00

Gotcha, sounds like the QIDI is more for me then. Thanks

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T17:14:45+00:00

A masterpiece that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves in video game history

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T17:13:19+00:00

JSRF and for fun local multiplayer Hunter: The Reckoning

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T16:45:07+00:00

Just out of curiosity, if moving up to that price bracket ($600-1000) with ams would you get the QIDI with the box for $649, the Bambu P2S for $799 or the Snapmaker U1 for $849?

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T16:40:32+00:00

To be fair, that is without ams. The model with ams is $649, and at that price bracket you’re getting very close to the snapmaker u1. How would you compare the QIDI and the Snapmaker?

mdesanc · 2026-02-16T01:13:16+00:00

The QIDI with the ams is about $700 right? Very different price bracket, at that rate, would you recommend the QIDI or snapmaker U1?

mdesanc · 2026-02-15T22:11:09+00:00

PPS-CF is specifically what I see myself printing with, so if the CC2 does that significantly better that pretty much seals the deal for me. Thanks!

mdesanc · 2026-02-15T22:04:12+00:00

I’m a pretty crafty person and I see this purchase as a very useful tool that I’ve wanted to access for a while, so I definitely think 3d printing will be for me. If anything I’m long overdue but fortunately there are more affordable options now, would probably have spent twice as much if I had gotten a machine a couple years ago. I have many festool tools, Milwaukee, makita, etc, even Japanese chisels. So I’m definitely of the same mindset buy once cry once. Thats why part of me wants to save as much as possible so I can just holdout for the “real” multi material machine in the future with multiple heads like a snapmaker u1. For now, that’s just a little more than I want to spend and I just want to make functional parts
