Bambu lab is just doing a capitalism, no one should be surprised. These guys have wide reach and bring many people who'd otherwise never 3d print into this world.

Also, they push all kinds of innovation in the industry. The h2d is arguably the best consumer printer on the market currently. My a1 mini is a workhorse with over 700 hours of prints on it. The thing is a champ that will likely never receive another firmware update and I'm okay with that. I already have a security camera pointed at the thing for better viewing, I can easily put the thing on a controlled outlet if Bambu handy stops working. I guess I'll lose the ability to exclude failed objects in a print, but I'm still not gonna knock this machine. It prints good and made me love 3d printing.

That being said my new qidi Q1 pro is open ish source, runs on a modified klipper and often produces better prints but is definitely quirkier. It has already frustrated me more than my a1 and taken more hours of troubleshooting and calibration at a third of the print hours.

I'm into electronics and a huge nerds who halfway got this to be able to tinker, mod, and fine tune, but I could imagine my experience with the qidi would turn off many to 3d printing. But my journey started with Bambu, a printer that just worked and turned me into a full fledged 3d printing nerd who is eyeballing a third printer because now I want a kit or bom and to build one.

I hope that wasn't too long winded or nonsensical, I'm a little on vacation

They definitely do lol. My kid uses chat gpt, and he also has critical thinking skills. I've taught him to look for evidence and apply logic, not trust blindly what anyone or anything tells him.

Mostly he gets frustrated that chat gpt struggles to precisely remember the imaginary dinosaurs he created with it's help.

Oh yeah, and he knows how to write with a pencil on paper. He'd rather dictate and let speech recognition do the typing (which he is also capable of), but what kid do you know that doesn't love a shortcut? I'd blame lazy parents, but most of them are just too tired after working 2.5 jobs to earn a living wage for them and their families you can't really blame them.

For me it can be convincing myself to get up and walk to the bathroom in the case of brushing my teeth, or getting out my notebook and logging into my classes for the case of doing my homework. If you can manage to take the first step, lots of time inertia will take over.

I quit thinking someone took my stuff at least a decade ago. Now I just assume I put it somewhere strange and will think about for the next two days until the right neurons fire to bring up the memory of where I've placed it.

That or it turns out it's exactly where I thought it was and I looked right at but for some reason didn't actually process it was there... That one happens a lot.

My favorite print recently have been duplo blocks that I reverse engineered and built back up in freecad for 3d printing. Here's an overview of the pieces Ive modeled. Some were based off https://www.printables.com/model/137952-lego-duplo-compatible-building-block-2x2 originally and I used tinkercad to modify the model to create better clutch and fitment. Eventually I went full calipers on my kiddos duplos though and created a master sheet of dimensions that Ive used now in FreeCAD to remake everything. Toying with fitment and clutch has been a lot of fun as well as modifying the pieces for 3d printing.

In a very similar vein I spent a lot of time perfecting settings and orientations on this Lego Crocodile model https://www.printables.com/model/943591-lego-compatible-6026c01dat-animal-crocodile-comple/files

My kid absolutely love that I can print him out duplo pieces on demand.

As for practical this phone stand Ive really been loving https://makerworld.com/en/models/868130-herringbone-gear-phone-stand-pork3d-by-pork3d-com

Honorable mentions are the shelf I designed to hold my things along my desk and little figurines Ive been starting to toy with. Learning how to print things no designed to be 3d printed or modifying to print cleanly is really a fun challenge Ive found.

Thanks everyone for their shares, too! I def gonna print that hammer for a lighter touch than my engineering hammer.

Huh, I had never thought to search for tits on Spotify, but now I see I was wrong for not doing so.

Fwiw I kinda wanna see what awful slop their generative ai ads will be. Literally the first time in years I've been mildly interested to see an ad. Not that I'll stop blocking ads to see them, but, mildly interested.

Special pill bottle sounds like a real winner. I'm usually pretty good about my meds but ADHD brains means occasionally blanking on things I just did lol

I'm sorry I let Jesus take the wheel

I spent 10 minutes perusing that site too and came to a similar conclusion. It's gotta either be parody or hate mongering. It kinda reads like a teenager who made bad edits to Wikipedia, got banned from editing and then made it their life's work to hate Wikipedia.

That 10 reasons post was so silly, complaining about the need to check sources and verify data while providing no sources and spouting clearly skewed beliefs.

Made me laugh a probably inappropriately loud amount in the hospital waiting room.
