I think a light version runs in a web browser but the full version is a program.

I don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.

Hate the hype, not the tool.

The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.

LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.

I once customized a heat pipe for a tiny case. You can bend heat pipes around and they’ll still work as long as you don’t get a kink (pipe bent such that it flattens).

previous gen

That’s not current gen.

Wow! That’s a fantastic price!

A workhorse is: take my money and shut up

It doesn’t have to be one or the other! It can and does work out of the box without being a proprietary ecosystem. It’s not just Anycubic. You can use a Prusa, Flashforge, Qidi, etc as a workhorse without a proprietary ecosystem.

You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?

You want those younglings to be defenseless against the Jedi that kill them with their laser sword?

The Anycubic has presets for .4 and .6 in brass or hardened steel. It’s only missing .2.

I couldn’t care less. Drying is done in an oven.

You can’t claim the S1 is incomplete for not having a .2 nozzle presets and then turn around and say that a built in filament dryer doesn’t matter when Bambu made it a pro feature. Especially when .4 is what you get out of the box from Bambu and .2 requires modifying your printer by swapping the hot end.

Bought the P1S combo (AMS 1) for 636

Where? I see 800€ everywhere.

And where I “go after” Bambu is what you didn’t mention: locked down firmware and no alternative slicer.

It’s more about the general thing that they are not finished products. At least not to the extent the Bambu are.

That’s like saying a Toyota isn’t a finished product compared to a BMW. The Anycubic works and isn’t locked down to their cloud service. You can even install open source firmware. The S1 AMS does filament drying that the p1S doesn’t do without the pro AMS.

I agree that Anycubic should sell nozzles but 3rd party nozzles are available.

Like I said there’s a temporary sale that makes the P1S a great value. The S1 is not $50-$100 cheaper. It was $1000 vs $650. Now it’s $700 vs $450.

This is exactly why.

To be fair, the internet is full of complaints that the P1S has problems with layer 1 too.

Before the current P1S sale it was $600 for a Anycubic with ams vs $1000 for a P1S with AMS. But what got me to get the Anycubic was they haven’t locked users out of Orca slicer and forced cloud like Bambu. Anycubic has cloud features if you want it but you aren’t forced.

Just textured. I don’t have a smooth plate.

I have an Anycubic S1 combo. Enclosed, AMS, networked, hackable (Rinkhals kliipper) . 700 hours on it and it’s been fine. Layer 1 isn’t absolutely perfect across the entire bed but as long as you aren’t mass printing coasters with layer 1 designs, you won’t notice. It’s never been enough of an issue for me to bother tweaking the defaults.

But if this for a business, you should probably cave and get a P1S.

I have been printing a lot of tpu the past few weeks. I’ve been using magigoo glue stick. I have no idea if it’s the best because it was a random YouTuber recommendation. But it’s been working.

I’ve been using Anycubic TPU 95, Esun foaming TPU, and Variosure foaming TPU on textured pei plate.

“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”

Exactly my experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.

enshitify before the IPO

I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired

By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.

I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.

Off by default should be the default.
