ISTR a few of my connections on here are into #3dprinting. I'm back trying to decide what printer to buy.

Last time I was here I was 99% into getting a Bambu but then they went and did walled garden stuff that put me off.

In an ideal world I'd now like something that can, at some point, take multi filament, build monitoring and, I'm told, auto bed leveling.

So 3d printing hive mind if you were going to buy your 1st printer, knowing what you know now, what one would you get?

Update on the bed thermostat:

It mostly works really well, but today I've redesigned the sensor housing and placement so it can be away from wild swings in temperature (It could probably use a fabric sleeve to protect the wires.)

I might also need to finally learn how to print TPU, so I can extend the airflow further into the bed.

Most of the project is here: https://github.com/b73tt/bedcooler

Hey so, my mastodon feed has basically become an RSS feed as I mainly follow news/tech websites.

I’m looking for cool people to follow. Come say hi! #introduction

I’m into:
#Tech, #Apple, #Switch2, #Steamdeck, #3dprinting (newbie), #metal, #synthwave, #nonfiction books, music #composition, #logicpro

Building the table top took most of the time. I designed a jig for the milling cutter with my friend and 3D-printed it.

Hey 3D printing people!

Did you know there is a Fediverse alternative to Printables, Makerworld and Thingiverse?

It's called Manyfold, you can find out more on its website:

Very tempted by the Ender 3 V3 SE

@Floppy is this a good deal and more importantly a good starter printer ?

Really enjoyed appearing on @firesidefedi with @ozoned yesterday! Always lovely to have a friendly, rambling, tangent-filled conversation about @manyfold, the Fediverse, and technology in general. Thanks for having me!
