I mainly use Elegoo Rapid PETG. I hated PETG because of it’s very low speed, but this filaments is a real game changer. Prints fast and easy. A bit stringier than PLA. Idry it before storing, which helps a lot. I don’t think I have seen anything inside with 3 or more top layers. What filament are you using?

Konqueror? KDE’s browser?

I think you meant to say Mosaic.

I have a printer that started life as an Ender 5 Plus. the print volume is 350x350x400. I have printed some pretty big things, like a full size Mandalorian helmet in one piece, and never maxed it out. A lot of my prints would fit in a Bambu lab A1 mini. Ask yourself how many large prints you’d do in one piece. Also, printing large prints can be stressful, as failures mid print are a lot more painful in large prints. You won’t see many printers larger than 350 for a reason.

My printer has been converted to an Endorphin Hybrid CoreXY so of the original printer, little more than the frame, motors, and bed remains. It’s a pretty competent printer. Over 3x the stock speed, good quality prints, and cost me around 150€, including an overkill (not really, has room for a toolchanger mod I’m planning) Octopus Max board. if you use a simpler board, you could probably shave around 40€. I had the printer, so it was a no brainer for me.

I got a couple of rails that were larger, because for some reason they were cheaper than the original. I cut them to size with an angle grinder on a miter adaptor which I had, but which are cheap. Just make sure you wrap the rails in masking tape, and grind down the edges a little. Any speck of iron dust will wreck the carriages.

Ender 5 Pluses are cheap used.

If I were starting from zero, maybe I would have looked into an Elegoo Centauri carbon, 310€, or an Anycubic Kobra X,339€ including 4 color MMU, or ideally a Snapmaker U1 toolchanger, 850€.

Just because I have some rails wouldn’ really justify building a printer from scratch, but that’s just me. To me is like justifying building a mountain bike from scratch because I got some wheels free.

How good a welder are you? introducing a 1-2mm. difference is really easy when welding, not to mention the squareness of the frame. Extrusions allow for corrections.

Find a Pic where her hands can be seen. Hands are one of the few areas where surgery isn’t practical, and for some reason they age a lot more in women than men’s.

Chris Titus’ windows utility will decrapify Windows quite a bit, including removing telemetry, copilot and much more stuff for those unable/unwilling to move to Linux.

For those a bit more adventurous he provides a Microwin install image creator that tweaks a standard ISO to be as light as possible, removing as much crap as possible during install, making install un atended, and creating a local account.

Hasn’t OnlyOffice been accused of license shenanigans?

Interesting, I hadn’t considered that. Do you have any data that would support this “poisoning”?

Please stop using “þ”.

I understand that using the character is more economical, but it makes things more difficult to read, especially for speakers of English as a second language.

EDIT: Maybe using a more unique glyph may work. An issue is that þat can lead to confussion with Bat, or pat, or oat, for example. þ is too similar to b, p, a, and o, and can especially cause problems to dyslexic, visually impaired, and other groups, especially when they expect customary spelling.
