    The new perpetual 3D Printing Thread

    Not sure I would really be interested in mixing my laser engraver with my printer. My laser and CNC I am likely to move out to my garage given the noise and smoke/odor. Where as my printer I definitely don't want to expose to that kind of temperature variability. Not to mention lately I seem to...

    Someone made a CAPTCHA where you play Doom on Nightmare difficulty

    Hold ALT to strafe and it gets much easier to do.

    The new perpetual 3D Printing Thread

    I printed a threaded adapter for a water tank out of PETG years ago. It's held up totally fine. Stays outside year round from -40C to +40C.

    Looks pretty slick. Interested to hear how it works out once you've got it and used it a bit.

    The Ender 5 Plus I have been very mixed on, which gives me large hesitations about the K1. Like you, my Ender 5 plus became a project. The Ender 5 Plus out of the box was terrible. The touch screen controls were extremely limited, the control board was loud, and the hotend performed poorly. I...

    CloneZilla and Win11

    Straight up Device to device transfer. Did the partition expand in Windows and not in Clonezilla. Using Clonezilla 3.1.0, so not the newest version but somewhat recent.

    CloneZilla and Win11

    I just did a Win 11 clone last weekend to migrate my system from a 1TB SSD to a 2TB NVME SSD. Was perfectly uneventful and boring; just how I like it. Was on an Intel Gen 12 based system.

    I am happy that I changed careers and don't have to worry about how to deal with this Broadcom/VMWare nonsense. Went through it with Broadcom a couple of times with their acquisitions of Brocade and Symantec and it was pretty terrible. I do feel for those that are going to have to handle this...

    I've renewed mine multiple times over the years. Stops working until I basically reapply for another personal use license.

    The new perpetual 3D Printing Thread

    What about going PETG instead of settling to PLA? I've always gone with PETG for stuff that I've put out doors rather than ABS. I think it's been talked about in this thread, but I can't recall. What do most tend to opt for in the world of ABS vs PETG? I went to PETG as I didn't want to have...

    CentOS 8 Stream

    Not sure on Rocky, but with Alma: Yes. You can buy commercial support. Link is on their homepage. But I'll be honest, if I am in a setup that I feel I will need proper enterprise level support I am going to RedHat. If I am at a spot where I don't need RedHat, Oracle isn't going to make the list...

    My current CDW rep has been amazing and I've been super fortunate that he's been our rep for like 8 years now. We had a couple before him that were absolutely garbage, but another that was really good. The good one I believe ended up moving on to being the current ones boss.

    I like that idea. Would definitely speed things up and make them more consistent. I've always hated doing the leveling by feel based on a piece of paper.

    Internet disconnects from wife's laptop

    We had a similar/almost exact problem with a Lenovo laptop at the office. Many attempts at fixes but in short the problem was the port expander. No idea what exactly was wrong with it, but since we swapped the expander out the laptop has stayed connected since. Not sure what it was doing but...

    Which IDE for me

    I feel like trying to use one IDE for different languages/objectives is like trying to use a crescent wrench for everything. Sure it'll work, but it would sure be a lot faster if got yourself a ratchet set and a hammer.

    I'm sure they sell a lot of servers to small companies/people that rely on those recovery partitions. A lot of places out there that are in the know enough to get by but don't have someone really knowledgeable available to them all the time. I can't ever see myself using a recover partition for...

    I honestly feel like this was a change that was pushed by Dell/HPE/Lenovo. Makes it easier for them to bloat up their recovery images as they see fit.

    CentOS 8 Stream

    Basically this. We've been setting up new machines in a mix of Alma and Ubuntu. We went the Alma route over Rocky at the time as Alma seemed to be getting things patched out a little bit faster. I do still have some machines to get migrated over to Alma yet.
