    Lemmy in general has been much more pleasant, but we will have to be proactive to keep it this way

      Agreed, much more pleasant here, though it felt empty for a while. Now it’s starting to feel active while still being pleasant. A big improvement over reddit.

    My favorite was when some redditor told me that “maybe 3d printing isn’t for you” after I expressed some concerns. Pissed me off so much I ended up printing over 200 miniatures (so far).

        I use cheap resin, it’s roughly a dollar or two per mini. Gloves and supplies are cheap but add up over time. I haven’t calculated it with any precision, but it’s comfortably cheaper than buying them, and I can make small modifications to them.

            No, that’s a good point. But I have not noticed a significant increase in my monthly utilization.

            I would assume electricity costs are minimal for resin printers. I haven’t measured mine, but the only major power consumers in a resin printer are the Z axis motor and the UV LED. The UV LED isn’t continuously on and the Z axis doesn’t do a ton of movement. Compared to an FDM printer that is constantly running two heating elements and moving a heavy hotend all over the place, the power consumption should be a tiny fraction.

    This is why we don’t want Reddit to completely die - we need all the A-holes to stay there and wallow in their misery.

        Typically the animals drinking from those bowls are not food, so it probably doesn’t have to be foodsafe?

          oh god, now I’m confused again. I found multiple Articles saying both it is and is not food safe. Oh so food safe is safe for consumption, not eating out of, cheers

    Just wait for the 9,000th repetition of the same three posts and it’ll start getting sassy.

    “Your print problems are almost certainly because you haven’t properly trammed and offset the bed.”

    “PLA itself is foodsafe, filament additives may not be, and print texture is a bacteria farm.”

    “Consensus starter printer in each price bracket right now is…” (actually not as obvious as it has been, some Ender3 variant and Bambu P1P? That one isn’t as tired as the other two because it changes over time.)
