They don’t. But good for you they’re not impacted.

God damnit. Semi-experienced hobbyist getting ready to drop money on a multi-head unit and this has been hard to research.

From my digging Prusa is overpriced except you can’t beat the quality and reliability except for when you have to tweak it which is all the time and there are other brands that are a better deal unless you’re looking for unbeatable performance, then you go prusa. Their commitment to upgrades is great except for the XL+ which is now a dead end but still getting updates and certainly its great how much YOU own you’re unit except its not FOSS/H… Best to go with the Chinese brands that 1000% lock you in.

This is a great video but I’ve seen other great reviews basically saying theoppisitte. Hell there’s that in this THREAD.

Just taking my $4k and hiring someone to train a squrielle to glue together some filament.

I’ve got whatever their first one is. Its worked great, my only gripe is their cloud service requires google login. But it served its job which was to give me remote KVM when I was learning how to setup reliable RDP.

Its now attached to a box I use as a relays at a friends who has fiber. That box has a startup warning that I could never quite get to go away that requires one hit literally any key to finish boot. So I paid $70 for that…

I’ve slowly but surely added more and more. I don’t know when all those crazy cheap tablets that were everywhere in the early 2010s disappeared but I’d like about 5 now. Don’t even care about the spyware they’ll never see the internet.

Honestly I learned linux because I needed to turn some pumps on and off…

Made some arduino based controllers, but those were a pain to figure out how to access remotely, so raspberry pi it was, but eventually I needed more horsepower, so debian it was, then ESP-32s were popularized and now I’ve come full circle with a fleet of ESP-32s reporting to a debian server… eventually I’ll get around to understanding some of the hardware interface in the OS a bit more.

All of it by just kind of bumping into problems

You don’t know me. Everything I’ve ever printed was critical.
