Yeah, but the kit at Printed Solid is $1400. I get they have overheard costs and I get that supporting Amazon is not great but paying 40% extra seems a little out of line. Prusa is undercutting their own subsidiary 🤷‍♀️

Just gonna throw it here because I'm seriously considering the Prusa Core One it as my new printer. ~$1,000 is the lowest you can get this printer in the US.

Prusa confirmed Amazon is an official seller. (shameless affiliate link)

Cat door on toddler gate final result.

3D printing is awesome!

Cat door with 3D printed trim on a toddler gate. The cat door is on a piece of plywood. One of the vertical bars on the toddler gate was cut to make an opening for the cat door.

Yeah it doesn't fit inside the case with an extension header

I have a Prusa Mini and it has been SOLID. But... It has a lot of limitations

You can use LAN mode on a Bambu printer but yeah, it's not as open as Prusa. Sending prints over an API is not officially supported without a plugin provided by Bambu.

I follow a couple of 3DP subreddits and there are a lot of issues with corrupted SD and other quality issues with Bambu

Yeah, I need to find one of those gigs 😁

I'm in the market for a new 3D printer and would love a Core One. I've been wary of quality issues other brands have but $1500 for a printer, nowadays, is hard for me to justify.

Yep, better go to bed and not open the fridge/pantry.

If you do open the fridge, you are not going to bed any time soon 😁

I've been using Python for about a decade and never knew about its roots.

I was looking for that also 😁. lt looks like the flex PCB is sandwiched between two sides of the rigid PCB.

Ordering one right now so I'll post a picture later, lol

But I'm not a hypocrite. My Cargo bike doesn't replace %100 of my car trips. But it sure makes my life more convenient.

I'd say a cargo bike, depending where you live, is more of a second car replacement than a total car replacement.

5) Kid decided a muddy puddle was the best place to sit on at the park?

No problem, just hose the bike (and the kid) down when you get home.

Fun for everyone

4) Getting out of an event and there's a traffic jam of drivers trying to leave?

No problem on a cargo bike, you can even walk your bike until it's clear of pedestrians leaving the event.

3)Spotted some wild turkey perusing the neighborhood and your 3-year old daughter wants to explore?

Good luck stopping and having a look when driving a car.

On a cargo bike, you just put your foot down and go explore.

2) Putting a couple bags of groceries and a toddler inside a cargo bike is way easier than inside a car.

No door or tail gate to open or risk of fingers getting smashed.

Parking closer to the entrance = Not having to cross a crowded parking lot with a toddler that doesn't want to ride in the cart.
