Right, but it’s not really because of the material. Also you can very much DIY for much cheaper.

Not exactly true, Rock wool is a great material for this purpose and is cheap and safe. It’s just that these products originated in the high end music world for recording studios or fancy setups in millionaire houses, so they just charge whatever they want.

I mean, that feels like a shot in the dark. Like it’s entirely possible that it’s that NYC building but based on the available info, it could also be a large number of buildings in Europe, and I’m sure elsewhere. What was the tipoff, just the red brick? Because that is extremely common in my country.

If the tipoff was the ice cream, then that’s fair, I didn’t want to cheat and google it.

Does this even work? I feel like this is one of those things that were repeated ad nauseum when I was a kid but turns out to be some kind of bullshit, like quicksands being much less of a thing in daily life than I expected.

There’s always weed in the weed box.

Yeah I don’t see how much chance you’d have with trying to share all your future knowledge, you might get really lucky and meet some scholar that takes you under his wings but chances are much higher of getting burned at the stake/beaten to death.

You might have a slightly better chance just trying to fit in acting dumb and using your knowledge to get ahead, but of course for that we have to conveniently ignore that you’d get utterly fucked by the new-to-you bacteria and infections and probably will die from some paper cut.

I think it went on sale and sold out immediately so back to “pre-order” and indeed also the CC2 is there. And good point about the reliability, but then I guess I need to get a filament dryer separately.

Yeah I’m not gonna lie the way they designed this cooled me off the Elegoo a bit, if just because it looks a bit silly haha. But it’s still great, my step dad has the CC1 and all his prints are great. I’m more interested in making practical parts (for filmmaking) so really I don’t care that much about multi colour but I’m more interested in multi-material (for example so supports can be a different, cheaper filament) and QoL like auto-spool change, and I would still want a multi-colour here and there to make stuff for my kid.

It’s time I look at the whole current landscape again and see if it’s time to plunge ;p

Just as an update, Elegoo did finally release their multi material solution (canvas). I was ready to get my first printer a few months back but decided to wait for this and also to see what the reviews would be like for the Snapmaker U1 with its multiple heads that can do multi-material with much less waste.

All this stuff isn’t so fresh in my head anymore and I need to look into all this again but just wanted to point out Elegoo did release the solution now.

Well if it’s their word against yours, since you’re driving a beemer they’ll automatically believe them when you claim you were signalling.

Well I’m glad you posted the actual measurements because now I actually know how big it is, so thank you for that.

I skipped all the blabla and looked at the drawing and was pleased to see the path I started visualising in my head was exactly like that. I do think I would’ve needed a cube in my hands to confirm it, or a bit longer thinking about it instead to complete it.

Can you clarify what you mean? This is the kind of trivia I’d normally know about but I fail to make a connection, a quick search also didn’t yield more info besides that it was supposedly whispered to the creators by a potential publisher, and the obvious reference to a “shop” for photos like a workshop.

Can’t you just do the old school ones anyway? There’s an issue with simple ones like :) where it gets auto-replaced but the more exotic ones should be fine.

1 day blind stew is the way to go, I can confirm.

I’m not sure these examples really do justice to the topic, they help bring the delta back to things we rationally understand but the scale between millions and billions is precisely what the major point is, since a million is already a lot then a lot of these is, like, really a lot, maaaaan.

Yes that was me first thought also.

The front bit yeah…

I just brought it up in jest but I’d definitely be careful about what I say to mid-twenties as a 40yo man, was more the point.

This is a commonly known issue with graphs and one that gets repeated without a lot of consideration for context. While it’s generally a good basic rule to have graphs show the full vertical axis, it’s not like it’s a hard rule that needs to be followed 100% of the time. In this case for example, moving from 99.999% (five nines) to 99% (two nines) is a significant effect, it has importance. Displaying the full axis would make that difference unnoticeable and render the graph useless.
