It seems society has to swing that pendulum as far to either side as possible every time.

Men the best! Women the best, men evil! Women evil, Men the best!

humans are so fucking stupid, collectively. we just repeat patterns over and over and over

then why have any consumer protections? and why have a minimum wage?

They are just going to make up for it with higher prices right? Let’s make min wage $1 so we can all enjoy low prices. right?

You are playing into their hands

anyone over retirement age should be barred from running, and that should not be controversial.

If you got on a plane and the pilot was 80 you’d be a bit worried, and we let these fucks run the most powerful nation ever to exist.

Black woman: she probably deserved it

White woman: poor girl she had a future!

We just let anybody have a gun these days

I say that as a firearm owner and manufacturer. Anytime somebody asks me about my guns I explain to them how any 13-year-old could have done the same thing and how are gun laws are completely broken

You can be pro gun in pro regulation at the same time, fuck all these false dichotomies

You can usually just add the plain controller rails to any working phone case.

I found a design that worked well, redesigned it to be better and added the controller rails.

I think the rail files are on thingiverse

parallel thought I guess!

I’d love to check out what you came up with if you have the files up somewhere!

If you truly believe this you should be training with firearms. Go far enough left and you get your guns back

you can thank State Street, Blackrock and Vanguard for buying up the American dream to rent it to you forever. Democrats are trying to limit this by stopping hedge funds from buying homes, which are for families.

When do we start to see corporate assassinations? At what point do we see people start to fight back? We are slowly slipping into full on ‘subscription’ based lives. They are stealing our children’s future away, one home at a time. Essentially turning our economy into slavery 2.0

Because of the extreme prices and demand for homes, my apartment rent went up 24% in October. They are literally taking half my income now. Half my life belongs to this one multi-billion dollar corporation now. The other half goes to my other living expenses. I make double the average American and I am basically a slave already

It’s 2030, you own nothing and you are happy

our re-definition of ‘torture’ excludes waterboarding, hog-tying, force-feeding, and sexual assault.

According to the federal government even the people at Guantanamo weren’t tortured.

We literally torture people who have never been seen by a judge. This country is fucking evil

his persecution is the distraction from the crimes he exposed.

They tell us he endangered our operatives, yet not one example has surfaced in over a decade. You know they would be shouting that shit from every rooftop if it happened.

This is how the USA treats heroes. We persecute them for exposing our evil.

I am like a lost 4 year old in blender, fusion 360 is more my jam

Profit avg is probably 400. Material cost is about $1 for a phone case, sells for $25.
CAD cost per sale is very low. I have learned to make my CAD workflow way better after doing all these cases. Now I have a plan ahead of time and not a mile-long timeline in Fusion lol.

If you are comfortable editing GCode then the Chameleon is a good choice, if not the A1 combo looks really compelling. I was torn between the two, but already have 3 printers.

I think the Prusa XL is the best option right now, but the price is crazy high

one of the best 3DP creators out there! I love how he tries to be as scientific as possible and get real answers. There is a lot of bro-science out there and it’s refreshing to have concrete results to go off.

There is another option you haven’t explored. 3dChameleon

This allows you to turn any machine into a 4 material capable printer. It is not plug-and-play, but if you already have a printer it’s cheaper than getting a whole dedicated machine ($180).

It can do flexibles too, which I didnt expect it to be able to do. Working on making phone cases with TPU inside and PLA outside.

There is an update coming in April that will make it way easier to configure, with sensor-less detection of filament position.

If you want something that works perfectly out of the box I’d go with A1 combo from Bambu Labs though. The Chameleon takes a little tinkering to get working

Learn CAD my guy! No asking for permission if you made the design!

I make between $500 and $1k a month in profit selling my original designs. 3D Printing is so much more rewarding when you can turn ideas into products instead of finding files people made

I love the 2-tone look!

I had made a tray for myself a while back but my smoking habits change so frequently between dabs, bong, joints, and vaping.

Might have to revisit this now that I’m not a complete CAD noob

Phones are so powerful these days too. Plus I can game for 6 hours on my phone straight, try that on a steam deck lol.

120hz top-of-the-line OLED, really nice speakers, and it’s not another device to charge and carry with you.

Also, using my Fold with the Junglecat controllers + my case is like having a giant screen steam-deck that can fit in my pocket. no comparison IMO

There is billions of dollars in preventing this. Amazon has an entire fleet of people hired for the sole purpose of stopping unionization, which is illegal but they get away with it because power.

This is what happens when money and power write our laws. First step is to get money out of politics. No more millionaires representing people making an avg of 35k a year.
