Earth / brown tones work well with green. Look at nature for inspirational color combos 😄

true, i host services on my own infrastructure so i dont have to worry about that but for some people the free tier is worth the hassle :)

thats why you make backups and update the dns records 😎

Thank you, fortunately I kept all the original parts.

(I don’t suppose you’re in Seattle, are you?)

I’m on a whole other continent 😅 If anyone from Germany is interested in fixing an ender 3 pro DM me.

Hey, thank you for you input but I asked **specifically ** for a clone 🤓😐

To say that all clones are trash and to only buy prusa is not really helping either.

I have a couple of issues, actually. I had it set up perfectly and loved the results it produced (perfect bed adhesion, perfect layer stacking, no elephant foots whatsoever).
But then I moved and stored it away and didn’t touch it for almost a year. Now I have issues with bed leveling and extrusion.

Even if I manually level the bed it gets uneven in between printing jobs. My BL-Touch can’t even counter it. Some time after that my extruder stopped working correctly. It wont feed filament and just grind away at the gear. I’ve check for clogs and if the gear was worn out but that’s not issue. I have a feeling this printer is cursed lol

Now I just want a clean printer that I haven’t tinkered with yet so I can back into 3D printing after my unintended hiatus haha. Any idea what to do with my current printer? I don’t really want to fix it anymore.

I think I’ll try my luck with the Sovol. Thank you for your input :)

For my automated content I go by a factor of 4. Things that I download manually usually also gets ratio 4 but things that are hard to come by or that I really like get unlimited ratio.

Yes that obviously makes sense but is the price step up really worth it for someone who only prints occasionally? The price difference between the Prusa MK3S+ and Sovol SV-06 is almost 500€

Dude it’s not that serious.
But lets compare:
The price for a MK3S+ just by itself is 719€
The Sovol SV-06 costs 228€

Prusa constantly updates their stuff and it is often pushing the limits of the hardware. This has made every cut price clone obsolete by the time they come to market. This is a moving target. That is the business strategy to avoid clones trying to undercut Prusa.

If I can get last years “flagship” for a fraction of the price I’m going to choose the Sovol.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I can’t justify paying the Prusa tax lol. Don’t get me wrong, I would consider getting one, but my usage just isn’t that high.

Regarding your development point, there are several open-source projects like Marlin or Klipper that are free to use for 3D printers. Even Prusa uses a variation of Marlin as the base for their firmware, though they modify it to fit the needs of their printers.

I’m not entirely sure about this one but couldn’t they simply use Prusa’s firmware if its a 1-1 clone, eliminating the need for additional development costs?

Thank you! Looks promising and it’s a price I can justify :)

In plain text or do we need to base64 them?

That tracks about everything it possibly can just for the sake of it. I despise Meta so much…
