  • I think the pros/cons come down to what you need a printer for. If you print mostly flat things, a bedslinger is fine. If you print large parts with sketchy bed attachments like I often do, a coreXY makes a lot more sense. You have no idea the amount of filament I wasted on giant brims and rafts to keep parts from flying off the sheet - not to mention the time it takes to print them.

    And then of course, the Prusa XL in particular can be outfitted with up to 5 separate extruders. It has nothing to do with coreXY but it was a big part of why we bought it.





  • I haven’t tried pushing the speed yet. I’ve been playing with multi-color and multi-material prints, as well as long tall thin prints that were kind of impossible on the Mk4. And when I’m not playing with that, I’m running it almost 24/7 because I have to produce sets of parts for our production floors asap and each set takes about 20 hours.

    But soon the machine will be more available and I’ll play with it some more.






  • With those flat plates I’m printing, there’s zero difference. But when I have to print tall thin things, like for example a long tube to adapt diameters, it’s doable without any support on the XL, while I need a gigantic raft and glue on the Mk4 - and even then, it shakes enough that the diameter is not that great at the top.

    Also, the XL has two heads, so I can print TPU with PLA support.

    That’s because his choice of inappropriate and disrespectful attire is a big message in and of itself:

    • Trump is hopelessly gormless and crass. You won’t get through to him with any amount of subtlety.
    • He chose to be provocative. This was no accident. It’s his way of saying “You can all go to hell, I’m better than you and I do what I want.” which is something any diplomat who “makes a deal” with him should always bear in mind.
    • He signals that his ego is bigger than the largest religion in the world, and focusing the attention on him is more important than a dead pontiff. Again, anyone dealing with him should bear that clearly in mind.









  • some of them have shown you they’re Nazi sympathizers

    It’s been known for years that the magats are Nazi sympathizers. And if you had any doubt, very senior figures have warned everybody very bluntly that Trump was a fascist.

    So if any of your friends and family was a Trump sympathizer, you should have known long before the election that they were at least Nazi-adjacent.

    Therefore the only difference between this reality and the one in which Trump is six feet under is that the American 4th Reich hasn’t happened yet in the latter (but most likely will, because Trump is only a symptom of something deeper and profoundly disturbing in the American society).


  • There are things that fundamentally don’t work in Wayland by design. One of them is injecting synthetic events into other applications, and at least 2 of the applications I use all the time need it (password manager-like apps that “type” secure codes into arbitrary text fields).
