  • Thank you! I should convince my lab to buy the Mk4s to Core One upgrade kit, especially with the health aspect. It’s a big lab with ventilation, most of my colleagues only print PLA, but we print a lot. The extra speed will make the mechanical engineers very happy.

    Personally I’m starting to lean towards getting a small QIDI printer now, and build a Voron 2 next year with hopefully Bondtech’s prospective INDX. That would be the perfect setup for me.








  • I mostly print PLA and I don’t care too much about print speed, so I didn’t think the core one will really bring much advantage.

    As for looking at IDEX, it’s more because it looks really cool. I’d like to be able to combine pla with tpu or petg, but realistically I don’t think I need it enough to justify the cost. I’ll get a lot more use out of a multi colour system like an MMU.








  • I was telling a colleague about how my department started using Rust for some parts of our projects lately. (normally Python was good enough for almost everything but we wanted to try it out)

    They asked me why we’re not using MATLAB. They were not joking. So, I can at least tell you their reasoning. It was their first programming language in university, it’s safer and faster than Python, and it’s quite challenging to use.
