  • Seconding this. V2 has been awesome for me, but I had to add a bltouch to get consistently good results without fiddling with leveling all the time. Now, V2 gives me flawless prints with minimal tinkering.

    Neo adds this by default, plus a few other upgrades other people are mentioning, that I think make it perfect for a newbie who just wants to start printing.

    V2 is “the same machine” but you would need to buy the upgrades separately (bltouch is really the only one you “need”). Good if you want to spend a little more time getting to know the machine and putting it together. Gives a good feel for how the machine works and is a good experience on its own if you want to get deeper into the hobby.


  • Others can correct me if I’m wrong, but PLA the plastic itself is food safe. As in, you can put it in your mouth and it’s fine. The issue comes from the 3d printing process which tends to create small pockets and porous surfaces where microbes can hide and grow once it gets wet, kind of like a sponge. So you could print a single-use fork and eat with it, but don’t reuse it later.

    I think an insert for cutlery would be fine since you aren’t going to be getting it wet or putting it in contact with your mouth or food.


  • If I see a URL like this, I, and… polling my coworkers here… All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

    • I’m happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous.
    • I’m happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever “stoneclub” is.

    It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.
