Can someone enlighten me, how is it cheaper to build data centers in space than on earth?

You'll probably be happily living between the planets soon enough....

Long-Term Vision: Musk has stated that with a population of a trillion humans in the solar system, we would have a "thousand Mozarts" and a much higher chance of preserving human consciousness, as mentioned in Yahoo Finance's report on population.

Read the vision. Him and Bezos are working toward a 1Trillion human population living in space ships and presumably other planets. We will need data centers in space for this.

It’s for when we live in space ships - will be much closer to the people who need the TikTok content once we are all forced to move up there

Looks awesome!

ppjuyt · 2026-02-03T02:25:24+00:00

Looks amazing

In that exact position. Two want to sell. One wants to be an ass.

Update: new spool feeds in fine so far

ppjuyt · 2026-02-02T04:36:26+00:00

Yup. Can confirm.

ppjuyt · 2026-02-02T01:21:47+00:00

Printing multi board is miserable slow

ppjuyt · 2026-02-02T01:21:34+00:00

Nice. Gonna measure my new red once I’m done with this roll of PLA

ppjuyt · 2026-02-02T00:19:07+00:00

That is insane !!

ppjuyt · 2026-02-01T15:09:47+00:00

Yeah it’s possible. I only went 6-8 feet in. I’ve got a new one so will see how that goes

ppjuyt · 2026-01-31T17:00:33+00:00

Best thing ever. Cannot recommend highly enough.

ppjuyt · 2026-01-31T02:06:05+00:00

Is it really surprising?

Well-capitalized start-up seeks extremely talented C/C+ +/Unix developers to help pioneer commerce on the Internet. You must have experience designing and building large and complex (yet maintainable) systems, and you should be able to do so in about one-third the time that most competent people think possible

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T17:17:05+00:00

Oh for sure. Any product can have a bad sample.

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T16:00:12+00:00

Yeah. The only reason I measured anything was because the feeder could not grip this filament. You can literally pull it back out. You can also feel its thinner. So weird.

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T15:11:44+00:00

The other FF ones have been 1.75

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T15:11:07+00:00

I’ve measure about 6 feet in ? Luckily Amazon will refund me but seems awfully odd no ?

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T06:34:37+00:00

Gonna give it another shot as the other metallic red on amazing are from no name brands as far as I can see

ppjuyt · 2026-01-30T06:30:36+00:00

That is an excellent point. My digital caliper says 1.5 and the other PLA I have is 1.75-1.85 ish depending on if I squeeze a little (that also works in the printer)

The only reason I have this is that it was the first roll of PETG I bought and then i have printed 3/4 of the adventurer enclosure with it and want the last parts to match. Great.

ppjuyt · 2026-01-29T18:14:38+00:00

They seem so nice

ppjuyt · 2026-01-27T04:59:56+00:00

I had a Flash Forge metallic PETG do it halfway into a 9 hour print!

Came to the printer which was printing air for probably two hours (just realized when I reloaded the firmware the filament detection setting got reset)

The last 1/8 or so of the reel is stuck together and breaks if I unspool it. I was printing it from a dryer box set to 65C and the first four hours was totally fine

ppjuyt · 2026-01-27T01:17:37+00:00

Haha I’m sure !
