It’s like that riddle puzzle thing with 2 guys. And one on the left says “one of us always lies and one of us always tells the truth”. And then that one says “discord” and the right one says. "That guy always lies and also “no discord” and the left guy says “the guy on my right always lies”.

And we have to figure out who lies and what the answer is.

Like the doors from the labyrinth.

This is the real world we are in right now.

Most people don’t want to use a 3rd party slicer or switch out the screen.

The Bambu studio slicer and screens that come with the printers both work well.

I really doubt they try to restrict filament brands. No one does that.

Their brand nozzles are the same price as 3rd party ones.

And personally I’ve used both and the Bambu brand ones are better. They are also designed to break instead of destroying the entire print head if there is some big obstruction.

Most people don’t want to tinker with their printers constantly to get them to work.

Or install 3rd party firmware.

They just want the printers to work. Bambu just works.

So many hours have I wasted trying to fix hardware problems on my ender 3 v3. Or tweak settings in the slicer that never fixed the issues.

So much time spent on reddit and YouTube, troubleshooting.

The Bambu just works. It always just works.

If I want to tinker with something, I’ll unpack my ender I’ve put away. But I don’t see that happening.

Sounds like you are someone who wants to tinker with the printer. In your case , no, a Bambu probably isn’t the right choice.

But for 90% of people looking to get into 3d printing, bambu is the right choice.

Most people lack mechanical skills or knowledge and get frustrated with sub par printers and don’t stay with the hobby.
Bambu allows more people to get into the hobby. Which means more unique filaments because there is a market for it. More creators. Because there is a market for it.

It’s a win win for everyone.

Nah, the right wing crazies constantly bitch and moan about how all the games are woke now.

It’s insufferable.

Oh they choose a brown man for the position for a reason. He can’t be so stupid not to see that.

He’s going to be blamed for so much. He’s going to also be responsible for quite a lot of it as he tries to keep the trump admin happy.

Dear Patel, Bro, they don’t respect you. You are there to be sacrificed.

Full proof way to not be near the detonation. For added protection, place the tray or bowl in a cabinet or in a closet.

In sociology studies. I learned that the presence of guns increases the chance of protests turning violent. The gun is a threat. Putting people in aggressive states.

This is why when Trump sends his goons to harass protestors, he is literally trying to start riots so his guards can shoot people.

Unfortunately the human brain, which consumes a huge portion of body energy, is literally designed to reduce power use when it can.

Most humans will always choose to forgo cognitively demanding tasks.

Not only that. The more someone chooses to rely on heuristics and biases (mental shortcuts that require little to no mental effort) they become accustomed to this and actually lose the ability to think about things with effort.

Now there are personality traits that predispose people to engage or disengage with cognitively demanding tasks. (Curiosity and “need for cognition” being two big ones)

And there are environmental factors (for instance, a family that encourages or discourages discussion on topics).

But ultimately, most humans will not think about something very deeply if they don’t feel the need to (motivation).

Those who do, typically are motivated to side step the energy saver mode that the brain typically reverts to.

Critical thinking is in part, not just the ability to follow cause and effect paths and predict likelihoods of events based on information available, but it is the MOTIVATION to do so.

They are a bit like chicken and the egg. Motivation increases ability. Increase in ability means less effort is required to do critical thinking cause you are skilled at it. (Higher skill equates to less effort needed).

Meaning less motivation is needed to override the energy saving mode default. So the person is more likely to engage in CT even on tasks/decisions most people wouldn’t. Essentially they start to question and investigate everything around them.

Also I am finishing up my PhD in cognitive neuroscience.

This isn’t my area of study (I study perception), but I still have some knowledge of this topic so if anyone has any questions or would like to learn more about this topic, I can send you some wiki links and even some research papers if you want.

It’s something I was interested in as I wondered why I find learning enjoyable but so many others literally hate learning new things. Which to me seems crazy.

But it comes down to mental effort and motivation. Motivation must be strong enough to over ride the body’s need to conserve energy.

They don’t control research publications in other countries. 🤷

Also there is a ton of research on this topic from the last 50 years. So.

I’m going to share with you the only way to open canned biscuits that’s full proof.

Pull off some of the outer paper. Just a bit.

Next place the canned biscuits in a bowl or tray of some kind.

Next. Poor a little water on the canned biscuits.

The water will eventually seep in enough and the cardboard will break up and POP!

But it won’t happen immediately.

So you can leave the room and wait for the pop at a safe distance.

You are all welcome.

You don’t need ams to print. All the pieces print separately.

Even eyes/pupils.

It’s designed so that anyone can print it.

Also tinkercad. It’s basic but honestly it works for most stuff I make for things around the house.

Really like my Bambu A1. I started with an ender. Unlike the Ender, Bambu just works. Some people don’t like that you can’t use other slicers with it, but the Bambu studio slicer is pretty great imo. Their makerworld.com website is a great place to get models. They have high incentives for creators so there is always new high quality stuff being posted.

Also their replacement parts are inexpensive from them directly. And they literally sell every single part. So you can replace any thing you need to. But you likely wont need to replace anything for a while.

They also have sensors on the printers for tons of features. Oh and their printers are designed to be ran through wifi. So no more packing cards back and forth between printer and computer.

Watch some YouTube reviews videos. You will be impressed.

Also when you print at 0.2 layer hight on a Bambu. The print quality looks better than 0.16 on other printers.

No lie.

I recommend Bambu to anyone.

I think you chose the wrong title for your post.

Well yes and no. I think mostly it’s up to you to determine if the model is good or not. .here is an example.

I wanted to make a model and I needed a female face. (A mask). I found one in creative commons. When I attempted to use the face/head model I realized it wasn’t symmetrical. Or level. And had weird internal geometry.

I fixed those issues before I could use it for my mask model.

I figured since I did all that work and it was a nice female head, I would upload it on thingiverse so that others wouldn’t have to do through all the same trouble.

But I don’t want to just print a female head. I didn’t need one. So I didn’t. There is no photo on that upload.

It’s not really necessary.

I did, however, print the mask I made and posted photos of it with the model.

I hope my example illustrates why enforcing the photo rule isn’t going to work in all scenarios.

Just fyi. On makerworld.com, in order to upload a profile file (a pre made print file), you are required to use a photo of the model.

I think it works as a rule for that.

Women are avoiding men. For all sorts of reasons that I think most of you are aware of. It’s a huge turn off to be with someone who thing you are lower than them. Who thinks you don’t deserve basic human rights.

It’s a huge mood killer.

Women also are feeling like they have the ability to refuse when before they didn’t.

Women are also scared of pregnancy in a way they haven’t been since the fecking 1900s.

Because now, you get pregnant. A doctor will let you die before they will provide medical care if that medical care has any chance of harming a fetus. Even if the fetus is dead.

Women are dying from pregnancy. Women are no longer able to terminate an early pregnancy safely.

Women are scared.
