You. I like you.

Honestly amazing setup. It’s more robust than some industrial applications I’ve seen.

Thanks for such a great write-up. I’ll definitely be referring back to it as I upgrade my homelab.

Cheers!

Nice! I upgraded from an A8 (knock off) as well. Quality bump going to a Mk3 was astounding.

Well said about it being able to do things you just couldn’t otherwise. I think that’s a better argument for why 3D printing is so great.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen “3D Printer” on here yet!

A serial hobbyist, with a lot of my interests waning in weeks to months after getting into them. But 3D Printing? I’ve been loving it for 10 years and there’s no signs of that slowing down.

Sure there’s goofy stuff you can make with it, but 95% of what I print are functional items. So often I need something for around the house and I can just print for cheaper and faster than ordering one online. Examples:

• vaccum hose adapter
• desk grommet
• custom clamp for a bike light
• small L-brackets for cupboard shelves

There’s thousands of things out there you can just download and print, or you can get into designing your own. It’s very rewarding to design a physical object and then upload it for others to use too!

Here’s some examples of some things I’ve designed or remixed from other designs: https://www.printables.com/@Foreverwinter_223629

The two printers I recommend are the Prusa Mk4 (~$1,000USD) or the Creality Ender-3 V2 ($225USD). The Ender print quality is very good, it just doesn’t come with several of the very nice features the Prusa has - if you can afford it get the Prusa! You won’t regret it.

I love my rowing machine. I’ve tried treadmills and stationary bikes and they’ve felt like an intolerable grind. But hop on my rowing machine and I don’t want to stop. Don’t know what it is but it just works for me.
