My next printer is definitely going to be a Snapmaker.

They one-upped Bambu with the fully open approach of the U1, did a better tool changing printer at a lower cost, and are now supporting the good fight. I really hope it's not a publicity stunt before enshittification begins, but so far, I'm liking them a lot.

Fingers crossed for a slightly improved U1 - primarily, a larger print volume (I'd be super happy with a ~5cm increase in all directions, making it 320x320x320), which I'm buying the moment it becomes available.

Does this community not allow videos? I tried posting a link to it directly yesterday, but Automod removed it instantly.

Yeah happens to me all the time. It's not a good rule imo but doesn't matter we have different subs 🙂

I don't mind it being a rule, but I do mind it being a secret. It needs to be mentioned in the sidebar (probably as an addendum to rule #2).

Forum rules should be public, and it's generally better for everyone if they're specific, too.

When I report content, it's better when the report form gives me a list of stuff to choose from, and I can check off the box.

When moderators remove content, they should have the same experience. It makes things easier for them.

Users who read the rules don't end up getting upset about wasting time having their content that they worked hard on removed.

I don't think it's a good experience for users if moderators even appear to be power-tripping, and that's often what it looks like if they are moderating without rules.

The exception that I think most people would agree with is that when the rules are specific, you can get trolls who specialize in barely not breaking the rules, while tricking other people into breaking the rules. So, good moderators do need a little discretion, but I think most of their moderation would be easier with specific rules.

I bought my Bambu back when orca slicer and local network was out of the box supported. It was only a few months later that they locked out their firmware and started down this path.

I’ve been steadfastly refusing to update firmware. I hope to modify it someday but if not, I’ll just make sure it’s my last Bambu.
