  • I have printed ASA on my Anycubic S1. It’s enclosed but doesn’t have an active chamber heater. It uses the bed heater to slowly heat the chamber. It’s $350.

    It technically worked the very first time but it still took like 3 prints tuning the temperature to get good layer adhesion. (I was printing extremely thin and narrow parts and the ASA would break along layer lines.)

    Going only by YouTube reviewers, the Qidi Plus 4 seems to be the best low end for “engineering” filaments. $700 and out of the box it has a hardened nozzle, high temp hardened extruder, and active chamber heating- plus a 305mm build volume. Even their $400 Q2 has a hardened nozzle and active chamber heating.















  • There was a news story two weeks ago about Waymo taxis in Texas driving through 20 bus stops over a few days.

    The only response was, “company officials treat this very seriously and are working on a fix.”

    It’s bizarre how if you drove through twenty bus stops in three days, you would not only lose your license but be in jail on multiple charges.

    But if a corporation does it it is, “Oops, we will do better next time.”

    Utterly insane.

    No wonder Sovereign Citizens think they can get away with anything with the right paperwork.
