  • It actually IS possible to print on the plain glass on the other side. Many early machines only had glass as a build plate, so that’s valid - especially with various other materials.

    The black surface does wear out over time, when you need to replace it, a magnetic sheet + PEI build surface is probably what you want to move to. The biggest problem with the black glass plates is that the surface acts like sandpaper; and it can easily destroy a nozzle with just a short swipe across it.

    An Ender 3 v2 with the plate on backwards.

    Just be aware that the plastic shroud tends to disintegrate over time. The MrIscoc firmware for that machine is a huge step up from what comes with it; if that’s your kinda thing. If modding machines isn’t though, don’t ever touch the firmware.


  • I (wrongly) assumed that if he was hilarious to have made that graphic, that he’d maybe be more reasonable, hopefully funny. I was disappoint.

    It did kick off me spending about 2 hours comparing Signal to SimpleX, and Briar, and a bunch of others, and I can only conclude Signal is the best out of them. The security community seems to be REALLY paranoid about every, single, tiny little thing - but I understand that they must be.

    SimpleX doesn’t do any kind of IP address masking or have quantum resistant double ratchet encryption.

    Briar doesn’t account for rogue-tor nodes, etc.

    There’s just always some big glaring flaw in one of them.




  • Separate the Art from the Artist is accepted by SANE people, who don’t have time to milk tirades so that they can play victim on the internet so that strangers think they are virtuous.

    There is not a thing you do, have, own, buy, or operate that isn’t part of slavery, human exploitation, etc in some way or another. You only do this because you want to virtue signal to others that you think “good thoughts” and so you can be praised for being brave.

    You’re not brave. You don’t make a difference. And nobody cares.

    If you eat any kind of meat, your an evil “carnist”. If you don’t adopt pets from the shelter, then you’re contributing to pet farming. If you don’t drink from a paper straw then you’re killing turtles.

    Everyone everywhere has some problem with someone’s something. You literally cannot avoid it all. Own a smartphone? Then you’re evil and deserve to die because you’re carrying an item that was made by slavery! Let me guess…you’re not gonna give up the smartphone…are you? Yeah - I didn’t think you would.
