  • If you want to tinker with it (probably quite a bit until you get it nicely tuned), the Ender 3 pro for $75 is a good deal. I’ve got one, and with some minor upgrades (raspberry pi running Klipper+Mainsail and a bed leveling sensor) it’s been great. I saw you mentioned using Linux and tinkering with that, so you’d probably be able to get things working well.

    After you’ve got a bit of experience, I definitely recommend connecting it to a Pi or other computer to run some kind of web interface for printing, it’s much nicer than messing with an SD card every time. Klipper (firmware alternative!) isn’t too hard to set up (I’m using Mainsail as the UI) and it’s been great. Before that I had Octoprint with the stock firmware which was super easy to set up but more limited.

    If you want to just plug it in and have it work perfectly right away, I’ve heard Bambu labs is best for that, but they’re much more walled garden than other brands.











  • Too many things to list them all, but there’s a few big ones.

    Fear kept me in the closet for like 15 years past when I began to figure out I was trans. It lead to years of depression, dropping out of college, suicide ideation, and countless missed opportunities. I did get an associates degree when I was 26, and eventually came out at 28. 6 years later and that first phone call to come out to my sister was the scariest, and best thing I’ve ever done.

    Fear has stopped me from opening up to pretty much everyone, though I’m working on that in therapy, and have been for a few years now.

    Fear keeps me from dealing with conflicts, I’d prefer to suffer in silence than deal with the overwhelming fear that comes with conflict. I’m working on this one too!

    Managing fear is a constant battle, but I’m slowly winning.
