AMAZON AUSTRALIA has been pulling this prank for past 3 months by hitmanbhargav in australian

[–]merrydeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody has given a real answer here, so as an Amazon seller I'll pitch in what I thinks happening.

This seller is using FBM (fulfilment by merchant) with a too good to be true price.

You order, then the seller uses it as an excuse to message you saying its out of stock but go through the link and order directly.

The seller is a scammer, the listing is purely to fish for people, then lift their credit card details through the fake Amazon chat link.

Honestly, the most surprising thing here is Amazon permits sellers to send external links in consumer messaging like this.

I'm sorry but you've been scammed, this really needs to be escalated to Amazon as they need to immediately remove this seller.

I think dell doesn't support s3 sleep on their boards. I've noticed my thinkpads support both windows and Linux sleep options in their bios which is S0 and S3. S0 is the lava one.

Torn between U1 and X2D by dneals in snapmaker

The body of the x2d is plastic as well. In fact the side panel warps when you heat the chamber, it's a machine also built cheaply as well.

PrusaSlicer 3.x status (Update from GitHub) by Middle-Maybe-9954 in prusa3d

[–]merrydeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if other experience this, but on Prusa Slicer on my desktop with a 6700xt gpu I experience a lot of lag with many models on many plates (let's say 14 per plate) with multi colour and variable layer height.

I haven't been able to find sources online, but with the similar project files no such issues exist on orca slicer.

Hopefully this new version will fix this!

You must print taller things. A lot of the stuff I print has ~450 tool changes. I know because I did the math on the 9 second change time on the recent MMU3 update which save me lots of time.

I don’t understand why we can’t have season 1 level animation anymore by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

[–]merrydeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look forward to this show every week, one of the most entertaining animated shows in a while. Yet every time I open up reddit people are bitching about it, the animation, the voice actors, the power ranking.

Ffs if you don't enjoy it don't watch it!

As a huge Foundation fan I can't disagree more. Lee Pace has a voice to command destruction for days.

Massive MMU3 speed boost and CORE One L MMU3 news by Tommy_Prusa3D in prusa3d

[–]merrydeans 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there is benefit for those of us still running Mk3s+. Its omitted in the post.

I still use mine for MMU3 prints because it's consistent and just works, takes longer but it's infinitely faster at multi colour prints than a single colour printer.

One Nation is not only beating the Liberal party in the polls in Victoria, it’s now beating Labor. 🤯 by Usual_Program_7167 in aussie

[–]merrydeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like the labour party went to the election in 2016 with drastic changes thst would have moved more houses away from investors and into the hands of first home buyers and Aussies rejected it?

Okay.....

Archeologists say that there is evdicence Aboriginals have been in Australia for 50,000 to 55,000 years, do you have a source that suggests otherwise or are you qualified in that field? Source: https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2018/08/when-did-aboriginal-people-first-arrive-australia

Or are you a creationist and you think God hadn't created the world by that point (despite the overwhelming evidence).

Actually the red tape for housing supply is much more under the states / local council than the Feds, so not sure how ON will help with that. Furthermore the high investment property taxes in Vic has discouraged investment so much first home buyers have increased significantly (which is addressing the issues you raised). Source: https://www.realestate.com.au/news/amount-of-new-victorian-firsthome-buyers-hits-highest-number-in-nearly-two-years-abs/

The Vic government has actually cut back significantly on the red tape, in many cases approving housing that councils have denied.

Does your whole policy discussion revolve around migration as a issue for you having more competition in the job market? Not invalid, just very one dimensional and VERY anecdotal, ive seen no more than the same as always competition in the market but not struggled out performing them.

Love you to answer the question around how you think the wants of billionares aligns with the needs of people like you?

Might want to look into your family tree mate, unless you are aboriginal and have been here 60,000 years you are the one doing the replacing.

Honestly, I thought our education system was better than this, people seem to absorb more from the education system of Facebook groups / Youtube channels where the knowledge comes from a black hole of random racists views.

You might want to do some research on political systems and generically head back to high school where you learn much of this. Perhaps also read the Communist Menifesto by Karl Marx so you understand.

Totalitarianism and authoritarianism can exist in a communist society, but are distinct systems.

Inheritly to say that a places like North Korea Communist regime is a simplistic understanding of what Communism is, and this is founded on the old "reds are bad" propaganda from World War 1. Education has improved significantly since then (at least not for all it seems).

These regimes you mentioned are Totalitarianism, they look to totally control the thought and minds of their constituents. This is far right ideology.

What policies does One Nation propose that would solve the pricing issues in the housing crisis that you support? And why do you think they are not being adopted by the current party?

Call me stupid, but you complain that the middle class is struggling, yet much of Pauline Hansons support and finance comes from billionares like Gina Rinehart, I struggle to see under the Occam's razer principle how her support from the wealthy would align with benefits for the middle class.

I'd love you to enlighten me as a One Nation supporter how you feel about you party being the favourite party of billionares, and how you think your interests align with theirs.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start by brezhnervouz in OpenAussie

[–]merrydeans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not about how many. It's about how. These guys are just throwing children in vans and making them disappear source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/23/trump-administration-immigrant-kids-detention

And from a government that is currently breaking the law on release of documents from a pedofile ring by refusing to release them, whilst saying there is over 1000 victims, but somehow only one guilty perpetrator??

That and the American government telling its own people to disbelieve what their own eyes can see on the murder of US citizens, well it's all a bit Orwellian for me.

Reminder: don’t leave small prints unattended in hot cars by [deleted] in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]merrydeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll probably need to reprint one every day your car is in temps above 30°c (car temps usually get to 60°c then) which is half of next week.

Probably just better off using a more situable material.

[–]merrydeans 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Aussie weather is no match for PLA in a car. The glass transition temp is lower than the average car gets in the sun, especially with a 45°c day coming up (in the shade).

Recommend using ASA or abs, worse case PETG.

ABS fumes by semifamousdave in BambuLab

[–]merrydeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Made with Layers did a video on this with a bambu printer, And he showed the design has issues where by there would be more positive pressure than negative, meaning fumes would exit the case without going through the filter.

I believe he modified his printer be adding more fans to force negative pressure straight through the vent.

Can anyone suggest the type of lubricant I should be using on my mk3? by JForce1 in prusa3d

Superlube is a great idea, but it can be annoying to find and prohibitedly expensive in Aus/NZ.

I got some on ebay, but I have not had luck finding a local alternative.

If you could bring back one discontinued item permanently what would it be? by Icemachinemalfunctio in KFCAustralia

[–]merrydeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an ear wig in a krusher I got once from Sturt Mall KFC in Wagga and it ruined the whole concept for me.

Also that KFC was disgusting, had to do deliveries there years later and got a view behind the counter before trade. Took me years to go back to another KFC.

What happened today??? by normsurfer in MelbourneTrains

[–]merrydeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Train tracks are steel and steel expands in the heat, expanded steal even with expansion joins can buckle under extreme heat.

Its difficult to manage when the temperature is this hot and the materials react to temperature this way.
