  • That’s fair, there is a bit of information overload online when looking into it.

    If you want my two cents, find the cheapest print with auto bed levelling (mingda magicians are good and cheap) and just start playing around.You don’t need to know much to start, and you learn what you need to as you encounter problems.

    That’s how I got into at least, and now been printing for like 5+ years.










  • Thanks for your response, I’ve been keeping my eye out for a reasonably priced C64 or something so I can get into it on some real hardware (I’m sure there are emulators out there but that’s not as fun).

    I feel like learning it would help with understanding some of what happens “under the hood” in modern languages.










  • There are a couple benefits to a credit card as long as you are paying them off and not using them when you don’t actually have the money to pay them off.

    • It can improve your credit score which is important if you ever plan on buying a house, so you can get a loan.

    -There usually aren’t any fees for using the card like most debit cards have (at least where I live).

    • many credit cards offer a reward system which you can use to get free stuff, or sometimes just cash back. I have a dividends and get a percentage back on every purchase up to a maximum.

    So as long as you pay them off monthly, using a CC instead of debit can actually save you money and be a good thing. It’s when you can’t pay them off, and instead just meet the minimum payments that they become a problem since they have crazy interest rates.
