[Purchased Bambu A1 mini] Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around?

Edit 2: I purchased the Bambu A1 mini. If I regret it, there will be more chances in later years. Haha. Maybe by then I can work with resin and make the really fun minis. Thank everyone who responded for your advice and help....

Yeah, it didn't seem like it could handle detail at a very small scale. However, making something in the 5-6 cm range would still be wonderful for painting. How do you have to keep it happy?

That does appear to exceed my budget by $100 even on sale, though. Unless I'm missing something.

I am seeing that suggestion a lot elsewhere, too.

I looked into resin briefly, but I don't think my work area would be able to be ventilated enough for it to be safe from what I have seen.

I don't mind tinkering, as long as I can find the info to help do so somewhere.

Yep, right there. Missed it entirely. Haha.

That model appears to be the most frequently recommended one for beginners, from my couple hours of research. Is it just the ease of use, or is the quality there, too?

The results from resin printers look fantastic. My only work area is inside with cats, so I'm concerned about ventilation and contamination (especially since shutting them out of the room will reduce ventilation further). Also, miniatures are just one of the things I wanted to make. Planters, cross stitch hoops and tools, and those neat sectional fidget toys are all things I plan to make, and it seems resin isn't ideal for those. I don't mind sanding the result to make it smoother, and I understand the results won't be as high detail as a purchased miniature when I do make them.

I have not yet learned much about stepper motors vs other options, but otherwise it sounds like the main thing that has changed in this price range is an increased number of valid options in it.

Bambu Studio does appear to be open source and available on Linux, though, which were my first concerns. I'm not sure I would need to switch to Klipper or something similar in that case even if I could.

My space to work is not extremely well ventilated, and my cats could get in if a door is properly closed, so I'm leaning heavily against resin. I understand 3D printing is not without its risks no matter what material or type you use, but resin seems to be more than I can handle in my current setup. In several years, potentially in a new house with a garage, I may reconsider.

Its good to hear another recommendation for this one. It sounds like a good one.

Do you think a cigar shop would be a good local way to find at least the desiccant? Thank you for the advice.

That's exactly what I decided to go with. Looking forward to learning

How do you store your grounded coffee? ( slrpnk.net )

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a...

In my coffee. Haha. I weigh out the amount of coffee I need before I grind it. That said, I also exclusively make cold brew, so I'm typically making enough for a few days.

I can't sit on the couch anymore without one (or both) of these goobers requesting a blanket fort. If they're desperate enough for a fix they'll even share ( programming.dev )

I would recommend everyone try this. Just sit down, bend your knees, throw a blanket over, and show them the entrance. Just be warned they will not leave unless you make them

I thought my cat was strange for this same behavior. I should have known he wasn't the only one. He will borrow under the blanket himself if I don't have an entrance for him. Or paw at my leg until I make him one.

Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor...

If it was a publicly available Ethernet port, it was likely for public use. The fact that she thought it was malicious speaks to ignorance on her part, not yours.

I wonder what decomp would be like on the Moon. I imagine at worst this dino would be a mummy, but it'd be pretty wild to find a barely rotten T Rex.

MisshapenDeviate ,
@MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

A lot of the tiny critters responsible for decomp are aerobic, though, right? So once the air in the suit ran out they'd die, too.

I think a legitimate concern for that one is what do you define as a disability worth terminating the baby's life for. Some would likely abuse it for eugenics.

Ey that's the reason I started reading Green Arrow.

First of all, if you haven't read the Injustice comics they are quite enjoyable. Not peak fiction, but they function as fun prequels to the games.

I personally don't know a ton about Zatanna, but there's a relatively recent Reddit post (proxied link) that recommends the recent Dini run and its TPBs as the best place to read. If you want the origin of the character, it seems like you'll have to jump through some hoops. Like Moon Knight, it took forever for her to get a solo run. Unlike Moon Knight, she does not appear to have a convenient omnibus collecting all of her original appearances. If you want her first appearance, it's Hawkman #4 (1964).

Solomon Grundy's first appearance seems to be All-American Comics #61 (1944). He's got a solo run by Scott Kolins from 2009. I see some mentions of Batman: Long Halloween as a good story featuring him, as well.

I received a small (6-ish spaces) hydroponics kit two Christmases ago, and grew a few strawberry plants in it last year following the instructions that came with it. We never really got any strawberries off of them, but the plants themselves did wonderfully until the cats got to them.

This year I'd like to try something more "useful", like fresh herbs or micro greens (both of which are rather expensive to buy where I live). Does anybody have tips for how to start these, and places (in the US or that ship to it) that might carry seeds for the micro greens? I'm also concerned about running out of the "fertilizer" that came with the kit.
