Oh interesting. I’ll have to read through all the details. Thanks

Not sure if this falls under this topic but I am looking for a good ebook reader (eink). Any recommendations for something independent and secure?

I have the same problem. There is a Lemmy community for Jellyfin. Maybe we need to ask there. I run both right now. Plex and Jellyfin. I use Jellyfin whenever I can but still have plex for that issue

I am trying Delta chat. Seems easy to use and secure. (Not sure if they do voice yet but audio files for sure)

I get this all the time. 99% of the comments are from tech-illiterate people so I don’t care.

My brother surprised me recently by making a comment: “why would you go to the length of tinkering if you could just use [commercial solution].” So we’ll have a chat when I see him next month. He is quite tech literate and the last one I would expect to say something like that.

Otherwise I flat out ignore the comments. People have no clue and are absolutely ignorant sheep blinded by convenience and comfort. Which I am convinced this is going to end the human race. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Noted. I could use it outside or in a garage though eh?

I am not sure if I need another huge hobby 😅 maybe a bit more ready to use would be better for me.

I would love to hear about PETG’s performance during a Scandinavian winter. I am on Canada and soil sensors I would pull over winter but some other stuff might be interesting to leave outside. For ventilation I could either use it outdoors (summer) or in the garage in winter unless it needs room temp to print. That would be an issue in winter.

Neptune 3? What brand is that?

Outdated isn’t great. Thanks!

Great points! Thank you. I will have to really think about this. It’s so tempting to go with Bambu as it’s much cheaper but I know what you are saying. I made that mistake with Cricut and I regretted it quickly.

Good point! I definitely would want to consider outdoor use items.

What about software? Locked in? Can you design anywhere and load to print or do you have to design in their software?

What about the mini? I see that Prusa does get quite expensive quickly with shipping and taxes.

Fair. I guess I have to start thinking 3D too!

That’s good to know. I think the openness of Prusa is really appealing as long as it’s not more tinkering than printing.

Re farming I am more thinking about small enclosures for sensors for example. I am just learning about Lora networking and such and it would be great to build some sensors e.g. for soil moisture. The boards are really cheap but they need a case to protect from elements. I assumed I would need a different filament for anything outdoors but I haven’t looked into it yet.

We also had some smaller things break on the quad, tractor, equipment like caps or covers and stuffs hard to find. Not actual parts though. I get your point though I might have to brain storm a bit more on what exactly to make a good call on what the printer capability needs to be.

Ugh that’s really my fear with Bambu. Has nobody hacked these yet?

I just see the price for the P1S here in Canada and yeah, much cheaper! Might be a good choice for a beginner printer! Thanks for the input

Thanks. Right now I can’t see multi colour to be something that I need. I thought I need an enclosure if I am (eventually) aiming for something that’s used outdoors (UV protection?) but maybe I am getting ahead of myself here.

Thanks. Good stuff to think about!
