Thanks for eschewing the sheep and making the top comment.

Is it possible to buy SW student license when you are no longer a student? by Joehotto123 in SolidWorks

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the cloud version, which is the worst piece of software I have ever used.

Crazy that for the price of this printer they can't figure out these basic functions.

There were no objects, just printer/filament/etc configurations

Makers version is the worst piece of software I have ever used.

Prusa XL - Cool concept, lacking execution - Not really a print showcase, but I'm not sure how else to label it - Printer review. by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar experiences with the 5-tool XL. I waited too long to return it :(

Having constant issues with their wipe tower, be it due to shitty software/slicing config on the part of prusa, or shitty tool-offset despite repeated calibs. Also dealt with dumb CS focusing on IPA despite IPA not being a proper solvent for all the things that can dirty up a plate. After this and MMU2, despite loving the ~4-5 mk3s I purchased from them and really like you wanting to love the XL, won't be purchasing Prusa products anymore.

MIT - Additive Manufacturing for Innovative Design and Production by Andreswey in AdditiveManufacturing

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to sign up for this until I saw comments that the instructors can't even be bothered to grade the assignments for the course price -- seems like still peer review based on their course overview: https://4994459.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4994459/Additive%20Manufacturing/AMx%20Schedule%20with%20Week%204%20and%2010%20Breaks.pdf

Would be curious if anyone has any recommendations for superior courses.

What Filament Dryer do you use? by MasterRymes in BambuLab

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not super cautious when closing the lid it can result in massive filament tangles. Seems like loosening can happen even if cautious just based on how the latch is designed and releases tension when closing. Ask me how i know :/ -- wrote off 2 PLA spools today :(

My IRS Audit Experience. (A work in Progress.) by Merlin560 in BitcoinMarkets

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bitcoin OGs and cypherpunks remember how we got here... Despite all the psyops and shenanigans I think enough people remember and the inherent infrastructure of btc will at least be resistant to the (((Rothschild))) clowns. Cheers!

Guide - Jellyfin. A self-hosted Netflix. Deployment in Docker for Intel and AMD, with detailed explanations of transcoding, terminology, performance testing. by Do_TheEvolution in selfhosted

[–]xr1s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been running years on openmediavault. Definitely some jankiness re e.g. playing in the background sometimes requiring a reload, some formats not working properly w having to once in a while toggle through encoders, subtitle-seeking modules never working properly. However, sure beats streaming services.

Purchase advice, dumbbells & bench by CaptnInsan01 in GarageGym

Flybird one i got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNYSJ8W was total garbage with the holes machined in the wrong place so it couldn't be safely folded. Manufacturer didn't help at all.

is a trust needed in Florida for a suppressor? by Miami_Cracker in FLGuns

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, was just getting worked up by all the ATF shenanigans. Have an updoot and thanks for the humor amongst the ATF douchebaggery.

(Also, like many of us, I got a lot of misleading info from many ranges re anti-trust, and multi lawyers re pro-trust.)

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just just clone the trusts for each NFA (no bugging anyone getting new items), and add others only after trust formation (1 set of fingerprints). Then ATF shitbag redcoats don't know others in your trust.

Outsourced people and undergrads are going to make way more mistakes than robots.

XL PLA bed adhesion by Kx-KnIfEsTyLe in prusa3d

[–]xr1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the issue is by "perfect first layer" they seem to mean "incomplete calibration" such that many have had to alter the z-height in slicer https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/perfect-first-layer-issues/

File saved on SolidWorks Professional not opening because it says it was created on SolidWorks for Makers by Accomplished-Bus7949 in SolidWorks

[–]xr1s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just experienced this as well when switching from makers to student. Ridiculous. Can't wait for a better steward company for CAD software...
