@noelweichbrodt sadly that was not me. I wasn’t able to attend the final strange loop. How’re you doing though?
@Pack I feel you on this one. I’m not as excited about this as I once was for Twitter.
@baratunde QR codes had been slowly advancing for quite a while before that. The tech was already built into phone OSes and they had already found some problems to solve. I remember seeing QR codes on business cards and flyers at least 6 years prior. They definitely did shine for things like digital menus, but I wouldn’t say they were a bet at that time.
@TCBullfrog @benlikestocode that’s how he was informed.
It kind of boggles my mind that people could watch Twitter and still think “man, if that guy starts a Mars colony I’m there.”
I had a camera pointed at it and I had it plugged into a smart outlet so I could remotely kill it. It’s nice I don’t have to do some goofy solution like that or set up octoprint, or whatever, with this.
Mostly, I think, I’m just excited to see some progress in the space other than just things getting cheaper. It felt like 3D printers hadn’t had any interesting development in awhile. I’m super excited about the eventual V6 Color Engine also.
@hydrox My other printer is an Anycubic i3 Mega. It was entirely fine, but between the print speed and the random failures, it took a ton of lead time to get something done by a certain date. I used it a lot in ‘20 & ‘21 to make craft projects for the kids, but sometimes it’d take forever to get a few interesting prints to paint or whatever.
@hydrox The custom slicer is a bit hindered and it doesn’t support all the gcodes (like pause) but they’re moving away from their slicer and will presumably finish out the rest of support.
@hydrox It was pretty great up until this point. The print speed is a game changer. The computer vision doesn’t work, as noted by the fact it didn’t catch this, but I wasn’t really sure what to expect from that anyway.
