Interesting. I was hoping this would be a better and brighter D18. But it seems like less output and more functionality.

Wow that’s surprisingly bright given the size and what it is. Neat.

Not sure about the sale price, but the Mini seems like a perfect fit considering your wants/needs. There are some cheaper options that still allow for tinkering but they may not have the same reliability as the Prusa. So unless budget is a huge concern and you really really like tinkering, I’d stick with the Prusa.

Personally, I would add the filament sensor and build sheets. My philosophy is that it’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them. Especially when shipping takes a while.

Agreed.

You can get them for $5 from liionwhoesale.com so I suppose you could buy as many as you want and glue them together lol. Then maybe use a powered USB hub to connect them all at once.

What’s the total cost roughly for one of these builds? Trying to decide between something like this or one from Hank.

… oh wait

This post makes me realize we need a “nottheonion” community (if it doesn’t already exist).

I did the same. I removed the reddit icon and found myself tapping it’s empty location several times. I replaced it with Jerboa for Lemmy and it fills the void a bit.

This is probably one of the biggest losses. Reddit was my go-to for finding actual answers to questions I had. Without it, you end up with nothing but sponsored articles that don’t really answer the question.
