The amount of tube TVs I saw on the side of to road in the US a few years ago was depressing, especially since I knew there was nothing I could do for them. They were all too large and I'm not confident enough to try any repairs on anything that potentially dangerous.

I'm glad you were able to save this one!

If Glass Animals still counts after "Heat Waves" blew up, I Love You So F***ing Much. Dreamland kinda had to grow on me, but 3 songs in I knew the newest one had surpassed it easily. Not sure where it ranks against their first two, though. I'm bad at choosing favorites.

I was actually just thinking how close they got Anakin specifically, although it's more of a blend of the Episode 2 & 3 Anakins than they were probably intending.

The novel (written by Andrew Robinson) A Stitch in Time also confirms this physical attraction, if not specific examples of physical affection.

From the article, it sounds like cover shooter is an (unfortunately) small portion of what it will be. In fact, it is apparently trying to fit a whole slew of genres, which rarely works out.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/fewer-vs-less

Essentially, fewer is normally used for discrete numbers of things (e.g. "fewer apples", "fewer boats", or "fewer cops") while less is used for amounts (e.g. "less water", "less sand", or "less money").

As noted in the above link, there are exceptions. However, the exceptions listed are all with "than" or "or" added. Specifically, it's pointing put that while "fewer items" is correct, "3 items or less" is also considered correct.

In the case of the sign, it is referring to the specific number of officers in the city, so it should use "fewer". Does it matter? No, not really. Why did I bother saying anything? I got a chance to rep grammar and quote Stannis Baratheon at the same time.

Most of what I have printed with ~~it~~ the 0.2 mm nozzle is filament swatches with detailed info "engraved" into them. I tried to do a larger detailed piece with it, but the model wasn't print-ready and I made thin spaghetti instead.

That's exactly what I got, and it has worked really well so far. I haven't tried printing any minis yet (although I was thinking of trying one of FatDragon's next weekend), so thank you for the link.

The 50's - 70's movies are hilarious in a good way. I just finished them in my rewatch. Starting on the 80's this weekend.

I was wondering when I'd see a Godzilla movie here and on my feed. I vaguely remember watching this as a kid, but I'm doing a rewatch of all of the Toho Godzilla movies in release order and looking forward to this one in particular quite a lot.

Had to do a deep dive into this group for my father once and came to the conclusion that they diverged greatly from the type of music I enjoy once they added that Fred Durst sounding mf to the band permanently. Their general sound is fantastic, though.

 

In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.

Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.

 

Edit 2: I purchased the Bambu A1 mini. If I regret it, there will be more chances in later years. Haha. Maybe by then I can work with resin and make the really fun minis. Thank everyone who responded for your advice and help.

Edit: I am leaning against resin printing due to the lack of sufficient ventilation in my current work space and the potential for injuring my cats. I also do not plan to do exclusively miniatures; they were just the thing I was most excited for when making this post.

 

I looked around for a pinned thread or purchase wiki type thing, but didn't see one. I apologize if this is the wrong place.

After visiting a family member, I have decided that 3D printing has finally gotten affordable enough for me to maybe add to my list of hobbies. My primary use cases would be making miniatures (no particular scale necessary, as I just like to paint them at the moment), making parts for other hobbies (including cross stitch), and just generally making gifts and fun knick nacks. My budget is no more than $250 for the machine itself. I have not-insignificant computer experience, and some training in CAD programs.

Several seem to be on sale in the US for Father's Day (today), and I was wondering if anybody had some advice or suggestions on some specific ones.

  • Creality Ender-3 V2 is what my family member has had for a while now and enjoyed, and less than $200 is very nice. It does seem to be dated at this point, and Creality support seems to be lacking.
  • There's also the Neo of the above for the same price, but I am honestly having a hard time pinpointing the difference.
  • Sovol SV06 seems to be a common recommendation for the price range, but I've heard similarly negative things about their support, especially on Amazon (although I no longer trust Amazon reviews very much).
  • Flashforge Adventurer 5M appears to be on a significant sale on their official eBay (240 USD), but I have only really seen it recommended in almost spammy manners, which seems like either excitement for the sale or an ad campaign.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, even if it's just not getting into the hobby at this price point.
