So I've decided to get "back" into 3d printing. I was getting into it in 2012 and I started assembling a kit, but then life happened and I never had enough time or room to complete it.

However, now I'm in a much better place (both literally and figuratively), so I've decided to dive back in. However, last time around it seemed that almost everything was some variant of Prusa, and I think I want to go in a less DYI direction this time.

• Once calibrated, doesn't need much fidgeting or maintenance.
• More or less prefabricated. Some assembly is fine, but I don't want to sit there an dremmel a hobbled bolt again, or build a power supply.
• I prefer one of those enclosed printers, as it will be in a location with minimal climate control.
• Must not rely on any software that does not run on linux
• I'm not too worried about printing speed. Print quality matters more to me.
• Preferably one that is fixable if it breaks.
• Single filament is fine.
• Don't need wifi

Any suggestions?

Oh, and I still have a spool of ABS around here somewhere.. Is this still a reasonable material choice? Any other materials worth considering if I prefer the prints to be durable and not brittle?

This is where I could list a budget or preferred price range, but purchasing power parity and exchange rates probably complicates this, so let's just say "reasonably priced"

UPDATE: I ordered a Prusa Core One. I went for the kit, as I will hopefully better understand how I can fix it later after assembly. I threw in a spool of PETG as well, as I'm curious about the material.

CR2032 in case you were wondering.

Now I have a can that is 98% full, and I probably won't need any more until a couple of years.

I was thinking about setting up a game server for some friends and I, but I want it to be a game where you don't have to wait for others to be online to have fun.

I also want it to be a long-term thing, and where those who don't want to invest too much time can engage in casual play.

Bonus points if the game doesn't become cluttered with builds from players who drop out - I'd love to make it public (or close to it) and see what the world ends up looking like.

I was considering an open Minecraft server with some mods, but it's a bit too heavy once the amount of players becomes significant. Plus then I'd have to deal with griefers.

Oh, and of course, a game that does not break everything once it updates.

Requirements:

• Domain registration (duh)
• Privacy.
• DNS included.
• Preferably based in the EU, but it's not a hard requirement

And are there any you would support if you had just that little bit of extra disposable income?
