For those that don't have the F keys handy, try Ctrl+Shift+R

You can also design and orient it in a way that avoids overhangs and makes for a better print. I think this looks great, but doesn't really look like something designed to be printed on an FDM printer (on first sight).

The render looks nice, the print, less so.

Looks like it would wear high heels.

I also got a new citizenship a couple of months ago, but since it's my 3rd one, it almost passed unnoticed. I think the best thing to "happen" to me this year was the decision to sell the car and replace it with an electrically assisted cargo bike.

Would that be equivalent to PrusaSlicer's "automatic painting"?

I mean, it takes me that long when someone asks me how old I am.

Yeah, you also don't take tapeworms out from the mouth, AFAIK.

Honestly, militant is probably not the right word. But I work with Prusas at my workplace, and the idea of buying a non-Prusa printer actually irks me.

In my opinion, the only disadvantage is the cost.

But even the cost difference might get recouped later on, if Prusa continues releasing upgrade kits the way they've been doing it for the i3 line. Support is also excellent. I broke a thermistor while upgrading a printer, and they sent me a free replacement because it was unclear if it was my fault or not.

Another disadvantage might be that you'll become a militant Prusa fanboy, and never look at another brand again ;)

would recommend using an enclosure for all prints anyhow, even pla gives off some nasties as far as I recall.

I just have to clarify that this is only useful if your enclosure also has a filter.

If I were to buy a budget 3d printer right now, I'd probably buy the Sovol SV06 Ace. I dont have any firsthand experience though, I've only ever worked with Prusas at work.

I believe the main difference is the amount of coffee consumed, but I suspect the main culprit is the fact that Brits love to criticize the US (as does most of the world, tbh).

The British are well known for their love of tea, but AFAIK most of the rest of Europe drinks mostly coffee, in one form or another. Usually very different than your usual diner's pitcher of endless refills though.

Just for the sake of clarity, I am originally European, but currently live in Canada, where I developed my love for espresso. So take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Well, you are still technically "asking USA" :)

Although to counter your Europeans statement, I hear the Swedes are absolute coffee fiends.

Welp, just saw the name of the community, so you can discount my answer, I'm not in the US.

I make myself a single espresso allongé (run twice as much water through it as you'd normally do), using locally roasted beans. I like to try something different every time I run out, usually on the lighter side.

I found out I particularly like the "pink bourbon" variety, washed.

My partner drinks a semi-caffeinated blend, and I usually take a double-shot of that with me to work.

I can't stomach filtered coffee, it's a little too much caffeine for me.

You should try non-filtered water with your coffee machine and see if it makes a difference in taste. Some coffee aficionados actually re-add minerals after filtering the water

Zerowater removes all dissolved minerals from the water, which is actually bad for you if you only drink that.

"Too Like The Lightning" pops to mind, but it's a weird read.
