Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
I started a sub that had 400k users and was around for 10 years. /r/functionalprint
After I made it read only, admins they just up and gave it to some rando mod that had no experience in that sub at all.
So it doesn't surprise me the mods of a lot of subs have absolutely NO experience in the subs they are modding.
Screw Reddit.
There are a ton of dangerous 3D printing happening. Especially people doing shit that's pressurized.
You got a Lemmy community nowadays?
Built my 3D printer from scratch back in 2013 because prebuilt was so expensive, lot of money later it worked well but now it's in the garage waiting for IDK something.
Yes,
https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint
most lemmy's can find it.
But it appears your particular lemmy (mindoki.com) isn't federated with kbin or something.
It should look like https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/[email protected]
If fact, mindoki is missing a LOT of communities in the fediverse.
Heey thanks!
Yeah I'm trying to figure it all out and after Lemmy itself there is kbin, Mastodon, meisskey, pixfeed and so many others ...
Subbed, I'll try to figure out how to surf kbin and sub what's interesting, my instance has like n<10 users :-)
Cheers
BTW, is 0.3mm still okay or should I rebuild it (again) :-D Just kidding, I'd just like to get it up running ^^
I'm still rocking 0.4,
But I've since upgraded my system over the years.. it's now a custom COREXY with a E3D Titan Aero.
The board's now a Duet 2 Wifi and a BLTouch probe.
So now it runs like a $8000 machine and it's only cost me ~$1000 over the years.
CoreXY FTW! I didn't know anything about 3D printers but offloading motors seemed such a good idea, also allowing my stupidly overweight feeding NEMA (it's like 1/3 of a kilo lol I thought pushing the plastic needed waaay more power than it does) to just sit there! Learned a lot using a crappy extruder (heat creep aaaar) when it snapped I got the E3D V6 (IIRC) Titan was more complicated or more expensive :-) and the heat possibilities made even the cheapest rolls print well with some fans.
I'm using the Marlin board with the Atmel/AVR well euh the standard stuff & and just a usb cable from my PC which is (plus not enough time / laziness) what is now what's stopping me from using it. Sure, could try to install all on a laptop and walk there etc etc but well... I'd love to make it independent.
Yeah quality wise, it bridged and made flexible prints, for some <=1.000€. Add a thousand hours work for free though :-D
If your still rockin an old Marlin board,
A raspberry pi + Klipper is the way to go.
It offloads all the super fast calculations to the Pi. You get all the latest linear advance and input shaping functions, and your Pi can wireless I believe, running Octoprint.
The Duet 2 Wifi had all that built in, and Klipper wasn't around at the time I picked up the Duet.
Thanks, I'll check that out, if I can lay my hands on a raspberry not exceeding the cost of a small car :-)

Let me help you upgrade your numbers: your instance now has less than 10 000 users.
As it should :-)

That's cool, I did the exact same thing in 2013... http://www.shadowram.ca/
JHead + Greg Wades Extruder with a RAMPS 1.4 board... retrofit an old Cartesian bot that was scrapped.
Waah, answered your other post, I definitely think I did my way definitely differently mechanically (which is not better, I seriously did a lot of miscalculations, some I was able to remove, some alleviate, but some not), but I went with the RAMPS 1.4 board, seems like all roads lead to Rome heh.
It's almost like moderators were highly skilled workers in a very, very small niche. It's as if a company that sold highly specialized training for prenatal brain surgeons, started a campaign to discredit every single prenatal brain surgeon in the world and force them all to lose their jobs, then attempted to fill in every one of those jobs with middle school theater kids.
Are... are you a prenatal brain surgeon?

Let's not pivot 180 degrees here. Mods were not the chosen ones by any means. In fact some other breaches of trust that Reddit plagued its users with were specifically because of how much power mods had and how they abused those powers. Maybe some mods were actually knowledgeable about the field, but there isn't really any reason to extrapolate.
Sorry did you forget the /s?
Nah, that’s a former reddit mod
No, I was never a Reddit mod. My first modding experience is at sh.itjust.works. I was making a analogy, which I'll admit was a bit strained, but I stand by it. The analogy was not intended to imply that Reddit mods were the equivalent of surgeons, it was intended to compare a set of specialists to another set of specialists and what happens when an organization forces generalists (above-mentioned theater kids) into the tasks of specialists. Things always enshittify. All of the mods I've interacted with in Lemmy instances and on Reddit have been specialists, in terms of professional, ethical management of content and an exceptional ability to manage "soft" power. I have no motive to flatter any mod anywhere, this is what I've observed. If you don't agree with the observation, fair enough, but those types of mods are characteristic of the communities in which I choose to spend time. Your mileage may vary, but if you find mods to be otherwise, I would question your chosen community first, as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. A wise man used to say to me, "If you look around and every room you're in is full of assholes, it's you. You're the asshole."
Someone did
That neon orange PLA lower looks pretty neat though.
Hope it's something a little stronger than PLA: If you're going to go to the trouble of making something might as well make it to last.
Pla+ is actually the most used filament for printed guns afaik.
PLA+ is a little stronger than PLA.
I just don't know how I feel about the whole reddit mod situation in the context of this article.
On one hand, it does seem like the removal of moderators from some subs contributed to the deterioration of quality content. Reddit making that decision against the will of certain subs felt disrespectful to the autonomy of those communities.
On the other hand, I was personally never under the impression that moderators were at all subject matter experts. Their primary role is to enforce the rules of the platform and the sub. Any sort of vetting process exists almost solely on the current mods and the feedback they decide to consider from the community.
They don't need to be experts but they should be able to recognize bad advice at the very least so they can remove it.
Doesn't matter; increased profits
we hate that posts are removed for stupid reasons on reddit so we made lemmy and now we celebrate that posts aren't removed from reddit for stupid reasons.
god I hate redditors.
Science community was looking for mods here on Lemmy and I immediately thought of this. I totally have the time and experience to moderate but... I'm not an expert in anything science. I'm not even smart.
Go for it. Even if you don't know much about science; there are other things a mod can do to improve a community. Deleting troll posts and spam and advertisements, creating and maintaining community rules, adding a nice banner and icon, featuring posts, keeping an eye on possible harassment, fix broken/decayed links ... you don't need scientific knowledge for these, and it may still help the other mods. You can leave the actually scientific discussions to the community members, as long as you manage provide a safe environment to enable these discussions ;)
Called it.
The effort to glorify mods since Reddits demise is risible.
Mods who made arbitrary decisions on content and bans, suddenly find themselves subject to arbitrary decisions and bans.
Cry me a fucking river.
Mods>Gods
Yeah, I have no sympathy for any mods. All my experiences have been negative. Even when trying to help communities by reporting spam or asking mods what they are doing about it, I would just get a permaban and muted.
Maybe if more of them did an effort to actually moderate the moderators, have subs work like democracies, actually ban bots then maybe just maybe more users would have cared about them.
Begun the moderator PR campaign has
Anything to be profitable, I'll say
