For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

Really? I bought an Ender 3 V2 three years ago which is quite famous in the 'scene' but also famous for a number of issues. As a newbie I asked a lot of beginner questions and I constantly received very supportive and helpful answers.

'Yeah that's a known issue but you can tweak X, change setting Y or replace part Z to work around it'

Same experience with the FreeCAD community. Amazing people and a software that works pretty well with some initial exercise.

I see an increasing amount of Prusa folk vs Bamboo folk (and vice-versa), everyone vs fusion360 folk (and to a lessor extent vice-versa). And very recently I've started to notice a new vocal "I only ever use thangs.com" group starting to sprout.

i don't like bamboo printers very much, just because of the closed ecosystem. the printers themselves are really good, besides being loud.

i would like to switch to a different CAD program, but i couldn't figure out freecad for the life of me. fusion is still my go-to.

thangs is my primary hosting site, just because zack freedman started gridfinity on there. and at the time, thingiverse was almost unusable from my perspective. never really tried printables tho.

There's a lot about the hatred of Bambu that's just sinophobic. Which is too bad because there's plenty of completely rational reasons to avoid Bambu printers.

That's weird because all except prusa are Chinese made. My issue with Bambu is that it is a closed ecosystem, but they are undeniably very capable machines.

God I wish people would shit on the ender 3 V2 more. I wish I would have given up on that pile of junk sooner. “You get what you pay for” absolutely applies. No amount of tweaking could make that thing print consistently unless you could consistently awful.

you are the problem here.

i have and ender 3 pro as well as an ender 3 max. after a PEI coated bed and a second cooling fan, the ender 3 pro curns out the best sub-300€ benchies you've ever seen.

a friend of mine has a 3V2, and it has all the mods i would've done to a 3 pre-done.

for budget printers like the ender series, it's a skill issue most of the time. so teach newbies how to use cheap printers, of course it isn't plug and play. you paid 200€ for it.

Modding only made my ender worse, not better. The PEI build plate only made the problems even more pronounced. At least the Plastic build plates texture absorbed the uneven extrusion.

And I’m not saying you have to pay $500 for a printer to get a good experience. You just need to pay more than $100 for the bottom of the barrel ancient ender 3 pro/v2 with its problems. I spent more money (and most importantly time) trying to fix that printer than if I’d just bought a good one from the start. Even my co workers (some own that exact printer) shat on me for buying the printer because there’s better alternatives, even for the exact same price.
