lol, let's go with an eye.

You got a few good replies, but I just want to briefly mention build volume. Nearly everything I print is functional. Splitting prints into sections isn't the biggest deal, but being able to print things in one shot is nice. Consider the size of things you'll be printing and ask if you think you'll be happy.
I've never heard of PCTG before. A quick Google search and I'll probably be ordering a spool.
Oh, sorry - it was the post title.
I've had similar experiences. PLA is very stiff, which also makes it brittle. I have quite a few functional PETG that have been going strong for years. Now that I can print ASA too, some of my newer functional prints are transitioning materials.
When you smooth you do give up some dimensional accuracy.
These days, I more or less exclusively print ASA and PETG. I would call the ASA tougher than PETG, but PETG's ability to stick to itself when printing makes me prefer it for thin parts. In my experience, PETG also allows for more elastic (temporary/recoverable) deformation before the part undergoes plastic (permanent) deformation.
I don't remember to be honest. This is a Tromboncino flower, which is fairly large. Based on the size of the insect and the size of the flower, I think the insect is too large to be a hover fly. I am no expert though.
I still view it differently than being locked out of using actual OEM features of the car
Totally agree!
I do find this unsurprising though based on the metric fuckton of spam you get from SiriusXM after buying any new or used car from a legit dealer.
I've always wondered how much this costs relative to the number of takers they pull in.
The song in the meme is Ohio is for lovers by Hawthorne Heights.
And I can't make it on my own (And I can't make it on my own) Because my heart is in Ohio So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes) So I can fall asleep tonight, or die
Deep, I know.
Not to say that Dashboard Confessional doesn't have similar lyrics, lol.
I would love to teach kids. I take any opportunity I can to mentor people at work, but in a school setting would be super cool. The pay cut relative to what I make now just isn't worth it. Maybe in another decade when we have enough set aside...
Teslas unlimited Internet package is also super cheap at $100/year the last time I checked. Competitors are multiple times more expensive.

Yes! We do the usual 4x6 stuff, make a yearly calendar that I think is 13"x13", and have a mix of larger prints (yearly family photo) and canvases (things that will be on the wall longer)
No, we use a mix of local brick and mortar, Shutterfly, and I think CanvasChamp
N/A, but if you're looking to buy the thing to look for is a sublimation printer. This is what photo labs use. It will cost more than an inkjet up front, but will be much lower hassle with no no clogged nozzles.
It might be worth calculating the break even cost vs just using a lab though. I suspect a lab will be hard to beat unless you print a lot.
No idea, sorry :(
Yes! See above.
I have used both CVS and Meijer (Midwest not-walmart-walmart), but mostly for smaller batches where shipping doesn't make sense. No real complaints, but their machines can be a bit fiddly.
