    I still don’t understand how those cheap filament dryers work: they fully enclose the spool and heat up the air for a few hours. But where does the moist air go? It’s still trapped in there with the filament. It makes no sense!

    I always leave the filament dryer a bit open so the warm air can escape, taking the moisture to a better place (far away from the filament)





  • There’s a lot of open source browsers out there. Would you use one if it doesn’t have […] mandatory extensions?

    There are literally only chromium-based browsers and Firefox (and its forks) with any meaningful market share. Developing a new browser engine is extremely complicated and time consuming, so there really is no danger of having “too many” browsers. And of course all browsers based on chromium (Google Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, …) support the same set of extensions, because they use the same engine. So extension compatibility is also not a problem.

    Supporting the gazillion ever-changing web technologies and standards and layout systems for a completly new browser is a problem though.





  • Happy to hear that! I got myself a Vyper about 2 month ago and I’m very happy with it (no modifications, only calibration).

    Wasn’t sure if I have low standards or I just got lucky because I don’t feel any need to modify or tune the printer. Only had one failed print and that was because I haven’t cleaned the printing bed at all and it hat literally sunscreen from my hands on it.

    I love Prusa for the great software they provide and I’m a big supporter of open source, but the printers always seem to require a bit of maintenance (which is fine if you like to tinker and tune!)
