I’ve been running a FlashForge Creator Pro for over 5 years now and have been super pleased with it. I haven’t had to replace anything aside from some TPU hoses to feed the filament in all this time, but the parts at least at the time were easy to obtain since the platform was shared by multiple manufacturers like qidi. I’ve done dual color prints maybe twice ever on it. I felt it wasted too much filament on the ooze wall and still has streaks, so instead I design my models to be different colored separate parts and either snap or glue together for a cleaner end product. I think the only real limitation it’s had is the small bed size. I’ve had to do a lot of multi part builds to make anything large.

Green Inferno. I’m a huge horror fan and am not bothered by gore, but man that cannibalism was so graphic I can’t shake the images.

What kind of filament are you using? I’ve had that trouble with ABS before and what worked for me was making a slurry of acetone and some scrap filament and painting it on the glass then adding a brim to the model in the slicer. With other filaments, it’s always been playing with the temps and using a brim in my experience.

Big Tymers-Still Fly. It gets to a part where it goes “2 15’s didn’t see no wires, then I heard BOOM from the amplifier.” If the house/car doesn’t shake then it’s not enough bass.

I loved Hudson Hawk. The story was bonkers, the musical numbers were entertaining and had a great ending.

This is true! I worked for Blockbuster Video when Titanic came out. I still to this day have to turn off that damn song when it comes on.

I play Trailmakers which is like Legos where people mostly build planes and tanks to shoot each other, but I build cranes, forklifts, trucks and boats and fill them with the barrels and crates from around the maps and move them to other places. Very peaceful and rewarding to me.

I’ve used the torch and cold pull methods successfully, but have had great luck with a cheap set of acupuncture needles from Amazon. I would pre-heat on the printer and just poke the needle in there a bit and feed filament through.

Thank you! I’m not generally a sharing kind of person, but am touched by the empathy of cat lovers. She went blind then catatonic very suddenly. We took her to the vet when we realized she wasn’t coming back. We had waited too long with her sister and she died in pain. It was traumatic for us and committed to not letting that happen again. We work from home, so she was with us at all times. The vet was very compassionate about the whole ordeal. They saw us early without waiting and made her and us as comfortable as possible. Whenever I get up from the couch to go to bed at night, I reflexively walk to her spot to say goodnight still. It’ll be a while but we intend to get some kittens to fill the void.

Our 17 year old kitty passed a few weeks ago too. She went peacefully but it’s still painful for us. You don’t care for something that long without it affecting you. We went to a cat cafe connected to the humane society last week and donated her food and treats and spent time with the kittens. It really helped.

Omg! Mine is Wesley Crusher too!
