They’re not really available where i live though

Actually…it does

Apparently it’s a reference to an Italian dish using tomatoes and chili…I don’t know why they didn’t use a picture of the dish the meme is referencing

Why didn’t use a photo of this dish then?

I don’t get it…

It’s baffling you’re getting down voted, you’re 100% correct. It’s nothing but a ridiculous myth that DI or RO water removes anything from your body, it absolutely does not.

Capital d capital i, its deionised

AFAIK there’s only FreeCAD, but it is very different to work with so be prepared to relearn a lot of workflows.

I mostly print large functional parts, so FDM is the best solution for that, and I just happen to also use it for printing minis because I already have it. I don’t have work space free for resin printing too, with all the extras it needs for handling and curing.

ASA i have, because i have en enclosed printer with filter…but i dont have space for handling resin or vapour smoothing (like I said)

So far they’ve just used fine-point acrylic markers directly on the PLA, but it doesn’t quite cover properly. I’ll try the plastic primer 👍

I really don’t want to deal with resin, I don’t have room for a proper safe workstation for it.

I think ASA with acetone vapour will smooth out too much detail, which is already limited. The layer-lines aren’t really an issue either, i print at 0.08mm thickness (it takes forever to print these…)

Yeah it’s absolutely insane…I searched for an app just yesterday by exact name, and it still didn’t crack the top 20 reaults

We need to figure out how to get it higher up on the Play Store’s search results rather than it being impossible to discover at something like #40 on that list

You pay…no way around that. Google has rigged the search in the store, you will never get a good search location unless you pay.

It’s not just smaller, it also has limitations in materials it can print because it’s not an enclosed printer. The core one can print ABS/ASA much more reliably, PC, Nylon and other fancy stuff the A1 just can’t. Their motion systems are also completely different as the core one uses coreXY and the A1 is coreXZ (aka. bedslinger).

A decent bedslinger is easy to come by these days, if that’s all you need there are many others to go with, e.g. Sovol which is using open source klipper.

They’re not comparable printers though, you should be comparing the Prusa core one to the Bambu P1-series. The Bambu P1-series is still less than half of the prusa core one of course.

I usually just freehand them…that seems to work well without this tool

It’s what happens when they run out of useful things to improve but still need to announce something to make people think they’re getting an upgrade.

Not quiet, the difference is in how excessive it is with Chinese industry compared to VC backed capitalist counterparts.

The cost seems pretty obvious TBH…they’re subsidising their car industry to a much higher degree than European and American countries in order to achieve a greater market share and by extension control of large foreign car consumer markets. Given enough time, they will capture significant market shares in these markets due to artificially low prices outside of regular market competition.

There’s of course also the general increased security risk of the Chinese government being plugged in to all the companies making these cars with black box software and always connected to the internet.
