A few degrees difference in ambient temperature can drastically affect your exposure times, and god help you if you have a print failure and forget to clean and filter your vat.

As far as model complexity for 3d printing, you absolutely still have those issues, unless you only ever print pre-supported models (which I absolutely love, but aren't ubiquitous.)

I have a pretty heavily customized ender 3 and I don't recommend that to people who don't want 3d printer maintenance as a hobby either to be frank.

I will say though, my issues with resin are never with the machine itself, it's always the material and the specific prints.

I haven't bought one in a year or two, but I don't think there's an equivalent.

I recommend something like a Bambu for people who want "a printer to supplement their hobby, not be their hobby."

Resin printing is incredibly fucking cool, don't get me wrong, but it's also like a finicky thing, between leveling (if you have an older Saturn like I do), resin temperature, vat film replacement, model cleaning, safe ventilation, and on and on.

If you wanna "set it and forget it" resin is not gonna be that. Probably ever, but definitely in its current form. You're just gonna have to do a lot more post processing than you will with fdm.

All that said, if you're fine with it basically being a hobby that can supplement your other hobbies go for it. I didn't do fdm till after I did resin, and the detail and print quality you'll get out of a even an older tuned resin system is in a different universe than what you'll get out of any modern fdm system. But you're gonna pay for it in extra effort and various pita that do not exist with fdm.

(I can rec a Saturn for sure, I have a 2 and I love that thing.)

The Pope?

Believe it or not, also Hamas.

I have seen exactly one yard sign for him.

Ah yes a Wi-Fi shower that requires a connection to a cloud server that will likely be shut down in 3 years when everyone bails because they increased the subscription fee to 25 dollars a month.

Just what the world needs.

But but my freeze peach!!1!21!

Neat, how long till we find out they did something insane like all use the same key or are all running a web server that allows access to the gas and brakes directly without authentication?

Edit: to be clear, no issue with the goal of more electric vehicles. But Kia is having some real deep seated quality issues the last... 13 years according to my insurance agent. They won't even touch a Kia without factory installed push button ignition since 2011. Then there's the whole "we're leaking all your data and access to your car thing"

I live with some ducks. They're pretty great. They give me eggs now, and poop. So. Much. Poop.

Not only does this bullshit backfire spectacularly sometimes resulting in our current political climate. It also results in the "not frothing at the mouth" style of reactionaries to flee to the only other viable alternative, dragging the Overton window further right.

At best this asshole is a moron, accidentally damaging the people he thinks he's trying to help. At worst this asshole is an asshole who's fine with dragging the country further into a right-wing shit hole because his team wins now and he gets his treats no matter what.

I've tried it for even some boiler plate code a few times. I've had to end up rewriting it every time.

It makes mistakes like Junior engineers, but it doesn't make them in the same way that junior engineers do, which means that as a senior engineer it takes me significantly more effort to review. It also makes mistakes that humans don't, which is even weirder to catch in review.

Ha! That's wild. You can literally just buy it at the farm store in town here.

I'm sure it's far cheaper there too.

When you have separate teams that design everything and never talk to anyone else because "our design is modular and can be used anywhere that fits these x basic requirements" you never have a conversation about the overall product design and usability in context.

It is the result of shitty engineering processes that are optimizing on a small scale. It sacrifices the end product in the name of savings on a single component.

Same brainworms that will cut R&D to post a profit this quarter but completely wiped out long term competitiveness. Pretty much everything terrible about modern life is explained by rampant unregulated capitalism.
