    I’ve been eying 3d printers for years before I finally bought one. My main argument for not buying one was always the same: I am not prepared to start tinkering with a utility device. It needs to be on a similar level of a laser printer. I send a job to print to that device and it prints, that’s it. Not a 100% comparison of course but it does tell you what my mind set was.

    Cue 1 year ago when I noticed the Bambu P1S. Looked at the specs, saw some youtube videos and decided that this might be the time, it is possibly close enough to being a simple usable device.
    I bought one and boy, did that device deliver. Load the right filament you want to use, send job to printer and it just prints. The quality is (for me at least) quite bizarre. Some parts I have printed look like it was formed by molding, it is that good.

    Nothing but praise and a firm recommendation from me on a Bambu printer.

    Note: I have no experience with any other brand (as I avoided all because of stated reasons and not wanting to tinker) and I currently have zero interest in any other brand due to being so happy with my P1S




  • The 60’s messed with us. Two things come to mind:

    1. A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.

    2. Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60’s. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.

    So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.

    And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they ‘win’ at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.

    Enjoy the results of the 60’s, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit…















  • Very cool! This is the second time I see the heat-bed used in an ‘exotic’ way 😄

    But what piqued my interest is, what the heck are you doing with watch dials? I know from buying a couple of watches that the dial is always considered a work of art, precision and crispness. What I mean to say is, dials seem to be uber important. And seems very, very difficult to mimic by yourself at home.

    Are you trying to create watches and thus need to also create dials? Create new dials for existing watches? I’m super curious now 😀
