I agree. I really think makerworld is awesome. It could end up being the youtube/amazon of .stl’s and bring in huge revenue while creating a way for makers to make money. Imagine if they add a marketplace for not only .stl’s but also full prints and print services offered by the community. They would also need to open it up to other printer companies somehow.
I feel like a nuthouse, a looney bin, or an insane asylum is closer to the truth lol…

Are you running any kind of special printfarm software to streamline and manage your fleet of diverse printers? I don’t know of any stock printer manufacturer software that works across platforms. At best one brand might have software for managing different printers made by that brand, though I guess Orca slicer is at least able to do some of that if it has the relevant printer profile.
Right now I’m using Orca for the Elegoos and the Vorons and Bambu Studio for the Bambus. At one point I tried using Orca for everything but when you add all the printers to one of them it all starts to get confusing. The one I thing I wish Orca would simplify is when you add a process or filament just show me all the printers added and let me check which ones it applies to. Like right now if I make a perfect print profile for a Neptune 4 Pro it’s only going to show up for all the Neptune 4 Pros… I have to manually edit the file it created and add the 3 Pros, Maxes etc. I wish they would revamp adding custom filaments too.

Now, my statements are usually extremely confusing - an large number of impressions flow into the total.
I don’t even criticize Bambulab regarding Makerworld for leading a large number of, let’s say, “infantrymen” onto a battlefield and shouldering any danger on their own shoulders. e.g. Responsibility for Design-Integration into the USA Canada - I don’t know of any insurance that covers this and the upload regulations probably may only say that it is the responsibility of the publisher. I didn’t give it to my lawyer to check - it was already thrown off my desk because I don’t even I have to check something like that. Okay, maybe I missed something, misunderstood something or I m complitly wrong - but it was definitely not worth checking. But the big uplode link in Bambulabstudio… of course it had to be placed immediately and off to the battlefield with the people…
Anyway, I wouldn’t even criticize Bambulab for that (it’s not my responsibility and I can’t and don’t want to decide on something like that), but we can discuss that, but in the end everyone has to know that for themselves.
The effort to get into the low budget market is actually a good thing that is commendable while - but then carefully and with care and with the protection of the end consumer - If you throw something into your air fryer, then it’s something that doesn’t harm the end customer and if you produce hot air fryers then it’s something that your customer can safely believe in.
Now, on one hand, I see that the printers are no longer becoming more professional - on the other hand, I see things that people are annoyed about products disappearing on the platform, in whatever form. But when you upload the project, you also upload a product to it “air fryers” even if it’s just the risk of a part being swallowed by small children - and I don’t see this discussion at all. All I see is discussion of how they get hurt, not how they might hurt others.
Your hot fryer is actually a very good example: of course the end user will throw something into the air fryers themselves from time to time. But the main market is that the end customer wants the finished product out of the air fryers. end customer will primarily not produce the product himself. If he absolutely has to, he does it, if he can, he buys it (just for fun, this can happen sometimes, but it equalizes itself back to the previous case in time) and the person behind the machine how dos it day after day, wants the most professional machine that he can get with his budget. And it is a fact that professionals are getting smaller - who perhaps are not yet using their changes as much as they could - there are even more options that have not yet been recognized. They may even not have recognized themself as a professional or are on the way to becoming one. Take a new younger engineer from Germany under your arms - he only has 3 months of practical experience from an internship. You will not need a lot of practical experience to surpass them in the practical view.
I’m not complaining that Bambulab is going in a different direction - I’m just saying that when someone comes along who better supports the producers, the producers all will left, just like everyone ran to BL. That was the case and that will also become the case.
And by the way: I have also a large number of 3D printed parts that are only temporary solutions to save time. E.g. until there is a time it can be solved or until the original more resilient and trustworthy part arrives.
as long you’re enjoying it, I don’t see a problem

Bambu will simple have 4 nozzles. No more nozzle swap, or no more filament waste!

I mean no offense, but I’ve been wondering about this for quite a while. How many think a certain somebody just above CRracer712 might be a chatbot? It reads like Yoda 2.0.

I’d say “nutcase”(),
but then again a nut and a case, or a nut in a case, don’t go well together

I don’t know if “retired” applies, but i agree with the “German” part.

Trying to understand the point of the first message was tough enough, you will notice my reply. The whole tenor of the argument shifted with multiple points, all essentially saying the same thing rather than providing different salient points.
The response that that was also weird.
It may be a language barrier, but, still, even with translation, people often use bullet points to provide a different point with each.
I looked like the central premise was BL has made too many people experience 3D printing while complaining not enough people understand the idea of 3D printers. Additionally, I think there is a huge annoyance that BL has not focussed solely on the professional end of the market, which is the opposite of the first argument that too few understand the concept.
Much of it reads as nonsensical, which to me is the tell, but that’s why I put it up for a vote, because evidently the dissenters here see nothing wrong with it. I’d say Markov Chaining with adversarial training to avoid detection (such as the insertion of spelling mistakes and ungrammatical sections). That’s why these things are put in the wild: to learn better what works at avoiding detection.
Of course, I could be wrong. I’ve seen it on other forums, where it was proven, so it wouldn’t surprise me. Obviously, things are getting good enough that probably soon it will be almost impossible to tell.
Anyway, I was curious. If there’s no consensus, I guess we just move on and leave it at that.

Well, when business gets this tough, you have to deliver. Epresso machines are a tough buissness as well. Switzerland is expensive and an extreme business environment. Time, time and again time, no one can afford the downtime that takes time. Possibly also because of 700 years without war and the possibility of very secure guaranteed land ownership without any time limit. When it was founded, it was a very, very bloody story - since then there has been peace.
The first time I visited my mother-in-law in Asian Profiz I almost had a heart attack when I saw how slowly things were done and how long they could talk about money or something else - in the meantime I can manage a visit in peace and can at least begin to accept things if it doesn’t work immediately
Well it was really close to a consensus. It’s not just you, I had noticed it too. There have been conversations where he’ll keep responding even though no one is responding to him, plus a lot of it not making sense. Ending everything with a winking emoji seems suspect to me too. What were those questions Harrison Ford was asking in Blade Runner to see if someone was a synth?
@Hank or A.I. lol
Ive seen it for commercial dish washers and paper printers where you never actually even own the equipment. The downside is that new equipment doesnt come very often unless it requires less maintenance in some way, which would save them money in service time. Kinda like cable/satellite/internet equipment barely ever gets updated because its being supplied by them.
They were questions meant to elicit an emotional response, which was then checked for with some gear. Without the gear, the questions are useless.

Wait, did he appear on the forum at the same time Bambu introduced the new AI support chat bot? Did it go rogue and spread to the forum?
