<p>Only in theory. A 3D printer doesn't need to sustain lateral forces - a router does. It might not be built for this.</p>

<p>More fun facts:<p>Omitting those characters makes it good for generating passwords if they need to be typed in by hand.<p>Double-clicking a base58 string always selects the whole string and it doesn't wrap accidentally, thanks to missing / and +, so it's also convenient to copy and paste.</p>

<p>I think you've misunderstood the analogy. Just ignore it, analogies mostly break down anyways.<p>> a model capable of completing the tasks assigned to it<p>The thing is, the "task assigned to it" is changing with improved capabilities. If everyone around you in 2036 is using general AI to do amazing stuff, you will probably have little interest in vibe coding slop like it's 2026.</p>

<p>I find that hard to believe. The AI companies will want to control what's possible and find new things to do that "need" their services. Otherwise it would be like Intel and Microsoft had decided in the year 2000 that computers are "good enough" now and we would have explored what's possible with that hardware ever since.</p>

<p>The point was to show that machines can produce knifes with precision. The other commenter stated that "CNC can't do the tolerances needed behind the apex.", whatever that means exactly.</p>

<p>Are you talking about a chef's knife?

<p>They have "bottom of the barrel" and slightly better quality products. But the better products are nowhere near the (top) end of the range.</p>

<p>> Goods are usually (although not always) inferior when made by a machine.<p>This is only true in the beginning, when machines are still primitive (e.g. first automatic looms). Nowadays machines mostly yield much better quality than any human can produce (e.g. automated welding, anything CNC controlled). Many things are only possible to build with machines (e.g. semiconductors).<p>> A hand-crafted solid wood table is still superior to something from Ikea.<p>This is by choice. Ikea chooses to produce the cheapest furniture possible, using cheap, crappy materials. Other manufacturers still produce high quality furniture, which is much more expensive.</p>

<p>The upcoming INDX looks promising. But I can't see how Prusa solves the "dust and moisture" problem. They don't have something like Bambu Lab's AMS, do they?<p>Same problem with the Snapmaker U1.<p>Edit: the Snapmaker U1 also seems to have an open top, which is problematic for ABS, I assume.</p>

<p>I have a problem:<p>I'm in the market for a new 3D printer. My old Ultimaker 2 is still going strong, but it's from a different generation and doesn't fit my needs anymore. Looking purely at features, I really want a Bambu Lab X2D. However I hate what that company is doing, don't want to give them my money and don't want to lock myself into their increasingly locked down ecosystem.<p>Features I want:<p>- 2 nozzles (print parts with a different support material or a combination of solid and TPU)<p>- make simple 2-color prints without manual intervention (to add labels on parts, only a few layers require two colors)<p>- hassle-free filament storage (protected from dust and moisture, multiple spools ready to print at all times)<p>- a choice of different nozzles (e.g. 0.8 mm) which can be swapped easily<p>- able to print ABS reliably (or another material that is more heat resistant than PLA), the Ultimaker 2 with its open chamber is not good at this (parts lift off and warp)<p>- hassle-free operation (no tinkering)<p>Don't need:<p>- cloud stuff (I print everything locally, my own models)<p>What should I buy?</p>

<p>> I am wearing a T-shirt right now in fact that was advertised to me a week or two ago as "on sale" for £8 (eight) and which I clicked through and purchased.<p>This means the ad was effective. But was it <i>useful</i> to you? Did it save you from having to look for it yourself?<p>If you were not thinking something like "I need a certain T-shirt" before this came up, it's likely the ad created a desire in your mind which you didn't have. You got manipulated successfully by the advertiser.</p>
