I printed some stuff that I thought was cool and just put it up on Etsy early this year at a price that would be worthwhile for me. I was shocked when the first order came in as I never thought anyone would buy it. Then the orders kept coming in and I’ve grossed about 6k so far on Etsy. It’s nice that all of my hobby equipment and filaments are paid for and that’s all I’m looking for.

I continue to randomly list stuff that I think is cool. Sometimes they sell and sometimes they don’t and that’s fine. I don’t do SEO or research keywords or advertise. If I get bored of selling prints one day then I’ll just stop.

And printing is the least time consuming part of the process. It’s the packing and taking it to the post office that takes up the most time.

I absolutely remember coworkers that worked late and went above and beyond. The difference though is that some of them worked late because they were much slower than their peers while others worked late because they always willing to help during a crisis.

I didn’t have control over comp back then, but as soon as I landed a lucrative project and needed a few software engineers, the ones that went above and beyond were the first ones I called. I was able to 3x their previous salaries. The 3rd guy I managed to get 1.5x.

They are providing for their families very well now with house and car purchases. YMMV.

Nothing wrong with coasting if you are comfortable. For others working hard is a habit or necessity.

we bought the cake topper from Amazon. Only the question marks are printed

It’s the cheapest PLA that I could find at about $10 / roll, made in the USA, ships pretty quickly, and nearly all rolls print without issue. But this is the second time I’ve seen a bulge like this, so it’s not bad luck. There’s some quality control issues.

Yeah, I noticed it as well. Some of the more forceful/emotional lines had the accent slip. I figure those takes are hard to reshoot.

Anyway as soon as I saw her father was Ser Jorah, I knew where she got the accent from. 😂

I think Holston is dead. Although we don't see it, I believe Jules left the badge on his body.

Rebecca Ferguson was fantastic in season 1. What a great casting choice.

I like it. I bought the X1C around Thanksgiving last year and then bought a P1P March of this year. My X1C has passed 3000 hrs now. Here's some discussion around that https://lemmy.world/post/688667. One downside is when I need a part, it takes a week to arrive.

I only print PLA so the P1P suits my needs. When I first bought it the P1P wasn't available yet otherwise I probably would've just gone with a P1P.

At the risk of sounding like a shill, I think bambu components are fairly priced. Nozzles cost $15 a piece and I've replaced 2 of them in 3000 hours. The X1C also prints much faster than my old ender 3 so I got a lot of value out of the components.

I think a more valid argument is if there are few or no 3rd party parts available and Bambu goes out of business. It doesn't look like we're going down that road now, but it's possible to stock up on spare parts to prepare.

$45. I'm 100% ok with spending $45 after 3000 hours. So far I feel I'm getting good value for my money both with the printer and the parts.

Yeah, I need to have a bunch of spare parts available. Since Bambu's warehouse is on the west coast, it takes a week to get to me on the east coast.

Official replacement. Already arrived and printing again.
