The secret ingredient is crime

Haha yea I did, actually. A few months ago I built a Voron 0.2. It's soooo much better in every way. But the MS2 is still capable, especially with upgrsdes (just not with ABS). I decided against the Bamboo route because I loved the FOSS nature of the MS2, and building the Voron brought back those 'first time building a PC vibes'. It was a great experience.
I've got a Sovol Max on order, so the MK2 will probably also be donated to a friend this year.
Nice! I’ve considered a Voron, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to dedicate that much time to the printer as opposed to the printing. (I feel like I got my fill of excessive tinkering already
)But the closed nature of Bambu does bother me, I’ll admit.

Learning a new and useful skill is not "wasting" time at all.
You can't put that in quotation marks like I ever said something about wasting time. You just have to include all that time in your cost calculation.

I don't think there's anything in that story to be sorry about.
There is, you need to wash vegetables before you eat them

Its also something you built with your hands and brain. There are few things which feel as good.
Oh yes! The correct answer is to 3D print a plastic knob for the front of an oven. There's not going to be any heat issues there! And no one can deny how beautiful that black knob looks next to the brushed metal.

Why not both. 3D print one and swap them at Home Depot. Or heck 3D print all of them, replace them all, keep the one you need and sell the rest on eBay. If they all match, I doubt Home Depot would even notice.

With free returns and having a size difference in my feet I may (or may not) order 2 different sizes of the same shoe and end up returning one.
The same but for my broken Xbox, after a little sticker art.

The stock knobs are most likely plastic already, but I do agree the black knob looks stupid. It would probably look a lot better to print matching replacements for all of them.

There is no single correct answer. There often isn't, in fact.
As for heat: You can treat PLA to be more resistive to temperature and even at stock, untreated, cheapest PLA wont just deform from hot air escaping since the thing melts at 190 and the air wont be that hot for long enough. It may deform with regular use though. You also don't have to use PLA and use something more temp resistive.
Beauty? Eye of the beholder. Its a conversation piece. Its something you point at and say "I made that". Its wabi-sabi, I like it.

You can dip it in shiny paint too. Its not stainless steel but its good enough

I am interested in what you assume me accent be, though I'll give ya some hints and you tell me where I'm from...
My wife teases my pronunciation of butter and water as they come out as "budder" and "wooder", house roofs as "woofs", and I call water creeks "cricks". She also laughs at me when I get angry \ passionate as I become louder and sound like "one of those Italian gangsters from the old bugs Bunny cartoons". And she'll repeat back to me, exaggerated, "whaddya talkin about?!" as I seem to ask her that before every debate...
Well initially I was gonna guess North Eastern Coastal, or perhaps some of the less known accents from Western Appalachia but I've known folks from around Bakersfield who pronounced water, butter, and creeks like ya so I ain't got no fucken clue. It's one of those things where its got overlaps with but not totality with accents I do know, even my own accent does the budder thing. But now I ain't so certain.

190 celsius, I'd like to add.

Yea, I was told I "have a 3D printer hobby, not a 3D printing hobby".
I loved building the Voron, but did decide to go with a Sovol instead for the larger machine to both avoid the build and have a larger volume.
The 0.2 was great because it was cheap, didn't need to be my main printer at the time so I could be patient with it, and it is blazingly fast, especially heat up time since the bed is so small.

Weird, I can get to it now. Thank you so much for following up and sorry for wasting your time. Those guards are really cool, it isn’t what I envisioned at all, your approach is really sleek!
Thanks. And yeah, Thingiverse and Printables (and others, but those are my two go-to's) have tons of useful items as well as fun things.

Philadelphia! Very astute, my friend. Where are you yourself?
I somewhat thought that getting an education, working white collar, social media, and living in Europe the last 6 years that I would have of lost my accent. Hence why I found your comment so interesting!

SoCal more specifically Inland Empire San Bernardino foothills.
Also your accent stay with you hell it can even stay with your kin depending on various factors. My accent is basically just an old regional accent but if I get pissy enough it rapidly devolves into a bastardized brogue. But yeah I find dialects and accents interesting especially in how they mutate diverge and reconverge.
Also if you are at all curious I pronounce it budder, wader, and rooves.

If it melts, just print another!

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm pretty sure baby carrots are prewashed.
Edit: Oh, perhaps you don't know this. In which case, I'd love to be the one to tell you: baby carrots are just cut up regular carrots.

Some poor sucker is going to eventually buy the display model tho

I feel like this parallels the story about spending of $10 million to research and develop a Space Pen vs just using pencils.
