I’ve had a few spools. I’ve found inland from micro center to be really good filament. I haven’t noticed much difference between the two. Also, there are some top tier filament manufacturers in the US. Pricey stuff but no more than prusa and shipping is free to low.

Yeah… Bambu is required to be connected to the internet. You interact with the printer via their cloud service.

My Mk4 is great. Orders of magnitude better than my Mk3. I hate lazily stolen or copied tech. I also hate always online devices. And I do not trust China or Chinese companies with literally any data. So supporting Prusa is a very easy decision for me.

Prusa Mk4. They are amazing out of the box. Easy button compared to just a couple years ago.

If you’re a bit of a cheap ass, don’t care about hardware support long term, don’t mind the printer requiring an internet connection, and don’t mind IP theft, get a Bambu P1.

I agree with that statement.

That’d be open SCAD.

I think they’re an anti marriage trope that really grew legs on ds9. They’re so bad for each other it’s awkward to watch.

Their personalities are so different I can’t imagine the marriage was anything but an arranged space contract or she is a slave or something.

OpenCAD. But it’s like Photoshop vs Gimp. But also with a bigger learning curve.

What?! I have not heard of this product. I’ll stop by tomorrow. I need those.

Given their whisk has only 1 wire, that’s no surprise.

With the deli slime on it too?

You’ve got a jam. Filament is dried and burnt up in there. PETG is a lot more fluid / lower viscosity when hot, so it’s flowing around the crusty. Take off nozzle, remove PET tube. You should have another PET tube in the spares bag that came with the printer. Clean out the extruder well.

How much money do you want to put into a setup? With $1000, you an get any of the really good printers, a different size nozzle, a few little tools, and plenty of filament.

This is definitely the most approachable for a non trekkie.
