Corsair Discord wastes their money

[tranquil birch]

I will start with me getting an MM700

[tight niche]

That’s the normal 1xl

Great mousepad I love it

[tranquil birch]

Oh, well, close enough

It's coming on Friday

Uh, Monday

[tight niche]

Careful, you might end up needing a monitor mount as well

[tranquil birch]

I already have one, Beano

[tight niche]

Oh

[tranquil birch]

Yeah

Dual monitor mount. It's clamped to my desk

[jolly umbra]

speaking of wasting money

[tight niche]

I need a dual mount but can’t do the clampy kind

[tranquil birch]

Corsair Discord wastes their money

I changed it

Make it a collective

[tranquil birch]

Go on...

[jolly umbra]

short version

i had to buy ink in order to print return label for earbuds, which is minorly annoying because I used amazon giftcards for the earbuds, which I would have liked to use on the ink but oh well

[tranquil birch]

F

[tight niche]

F

[balmy canyon]

lots of people should be here already

[tranquil birch]

That's why I made it a collective

[boreal copper]

[thorny snow]

Wait wait wait.... proceeds to post 8,000USD computer

[tight niche]

I mean a hobby’s a hobby

And it’s better than spending $12,482 on a train set of a certain place that can never be modified or reconfigured

[balmy canyon]

[thorny snow]

Did you not know?

[balmy canyon]

i meannnnnn

i knew it was in the thousands. but not

8000 😂

[thorny snow]

1800 USD just for fans

[balmy canyon]

crippling debt intensifies

[thorny snow]

nah

[tight niche]

Wowzers

[thorny snow]

My other hobbies are way more expensive

[balmy canyon]

ah lol

[thorny snow]

@fiery hollow got to have fun with one of my items

[errant helm]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z7fWv3

Now that is a waste of money...

2.8k ok pc itself, 5k+ on everything else...

[tight niche]

explain

[balmy canyon]

Lmaoo

[errant helm]

Cable extensions/adapters(not inside pc), power boards, screws/bolts, cable adapter for the xbox to use hdmi, other random things like charger for ipad, laptop, phone/usb-c devices, just other stuff that is pointless making its own spot lol

[tight niche]

Gotcha

[errant helm]

Yea

[tight niche]

Got a USB hub arriving tomorrow does that count as wasting money

Gonna help me clean desk and have more Corsair

[balmy canyon]

Perhaps lol

[tight niche]

Was $17

Also had gift card

[errant helm]

The 2nd reason counts 😂

[fiery hollow]

Does it count as wasting money to get a figure to fill open PC space now?

[tight niche]

Get rgbs

[fiery hollow]

I mean thats on the list but I don't have money for rgb yet

And would need to reinstall an rgb hub

[tight niche]

Then figure thingies

Like what I did with the birds

[fiery hollow]

I got a funko pop niffler and was debating on a dino for the case

for now its the niffler

[balmy canyon]

i still need to get a figure for my case eventually :P

[tight niche]

A lot smaller than I thought. Good.

@tranquil birch actual pic instead of render

[tranquil birch]

Hmm

[opaque sand]

Does buying a $200 pc case when I already have a $200 pc case that performs the same a waste of money?

[tight niche]

Yes

[thorny snow]

That depends. DO you have 200 dollars to spare? Does it make you happy?

[tight niche]

It’s a waste of money but may be a happy one

[errant helm]

case was free, paid $60.85 aud for postage, corsair C70 case, arctic white

[errant helm]

Does this count??

[tight niche]

Yes

That’s a 5.25” bay one

[errant helm]

Yep

Gonna put it into the c70

[stuck hare]

44. 60 usd for a mouse

good deal?

its 10g lighter than the sabre wireless

i want to waste my money so hard on it

[balmy canyon]

Perhapssss lol

[tight niche]

Pretty good

I got my Sabre wireless for $40 usd which is just under 200 zł

[stuck hare]

like i have the wireless variant

[tight niche]

Having a backup wired mouse is good

[stuck hare]

i bought it fro more or less 60 bucks

[tight niche]

I say go for it

2 mice very nice

[stuck hare]

i already have 2 but one is a bloody a60 and the other is g502 proteus spectrum

[tight niche]

Ah

[stuck hare]

soo i dont know

[tight niche]

I’ve got ironclaw and Sabre

[stuck hare]

honestly i would just plop it when the wirless one dies

i want it

but i cant find a reason to buy

[tight niche]

Exactly

[stuck hare]

i am looking at my order of the sabre wireless

and the wireless one i bought for 199pln

which is 44.60 usd today

i am very happy with the mouse and the only reason i want to buy the wired is the polling rate

and like i have been wondering does it make a huge difference

[tight niche]

It won’t

No big difference

At all

[errant helm]

Hehe

[wraith pecan]

Had to pay an extra 100 for s&hfor my friend to mail it to me

Is this a waste of money

[errant helm]

yes

[jolly umbra]

of course this is a thread

[late roost]

We need update

[late roost]

That case fits a 360??

[errant helm]

Yup

With full sized 120mm fans on both sides

Fits better than the 4000d

[late roost]

Kinda wanna get another old corsair case

But idk what one

[errant helm]

Spec 03?

800d?

[late roost]

Too old

I want something more 900d like

[rich crane]

Pc building, custom keyboards, audio in general, all expensive never ending hobbies

[errant helm]

Yup

[rich crane]

I see your user name. Cars are another cash cow hahaha

I used to race and mod cars alll the time. Never ending expense.

Sold everything and went w luxury performance then said I won’t touch it lol

[late roost]

Tell me about it

I had to get an office because it didbt fit in my bedroom anymore

[rich crane]

We built a diff house because my office/studio just sucked. Way too small

As soon as I opened up tripods it was a damn obstacle course

[errant helm]

Yup 😂

[rich crane]

But yeah, all dangerous stuff lol

[late roost]

Still gotta clear out the upstairs area of my office

Its filled with old stuff that mostly can be ditched

[rich crane]

Yeah I need to re organize often

Gets cluttered too quick which stunts my workflow

[late roost]

Soon part of my bedroom will be used as storage instead of the upstairs spot

I have a ton of unused space under my bed anyway

[rich crane]

makes sense. Make the most of the space you have for sure

[late roost]

I'll just take over my siblings room

🤣

"Here take all this crap"

[rich crane]

Lol. God help you if you buy totes or boxes to store stuff

"I'm organizing" (hoarding)

[balmy canyon]

XD i blame Taco and Kes

[tight niche]

Laughs in “free” audio equipment

Not really mine and not high end though

[rich crane]

It's a dangerous dark hole

[tight niche]

As I’ve heard

I’ve thought about getting new speakers but these are fine and almost nothing I do uses surround anyways

All music is stereo :(

[rich crane]

Don't need surround for better music experience

Better speakers/amps == better music experience

But diminishing returns can kick in very quickly

Some people will like a $300 pair of towers more than $1000 bookshelf speakers simply because of the power handling and extended bass response

[errant helm]

My dad has 2 full Yamaha 7.1 surround sound systems in the house

One is fairly old, other one is failry new

I blew the speakers on the old ones, we used insurance to replace the full set with new ones and also replace the speakers in the old ones 😂

[rich crane]

haha nice. I hope I never break my stuff

I don't listen to it that loud though. Gotta baby the ears 🙂

[tight niche]

Alright then

H / K AVR 330 audio receiver

From like 2004

Though it is just running off of optical sound from my motherboard

[tranquil birch]

I started it

[rich crane]

I know that model. I used to work for Harman like 15 years ago lolol

[tight niche]

Ooh neat

[rich crane]

Maybe 13-14 ish or so.

[tight niche]

It’s still a pretty good thing

[rich crane]

Yeah. Old H/K amps were a lot of fun

Not super reliable, but sounded great

[tight niche]

I found it laying about and my dad said to just take it because it wasn’t being used

[rich crane]

The Logic 7 stuff was ahead of its time

I have an old AVR 231 in a box I should get rid of

Haven't used it in years

[tight niche]

This one doesn’t support modern dolby though which is a little sad

[rich crane]

Yeah that's always the case

Which is why i tell people, spend more on the speakers. Good sound doesn't go out of date

Amps/processors change with formats, so don't go broke on that side

[tight niche]

Exactly

[rich crane]

In 2-3 years time, you're already missing the latest formats

[tight niche]

This also predates HDMI

[rich crane]

Look what happened with Atmos and True HD

[tight niche]

Sound stuff is fun but I don’t have any sort of budget for it

[rich crane]

$5000 amps immediately worthless to the high end community that chases the latest formats

[tight niche]

Yup

Depreciation is mean

So I just go for stuff that USED to be great

So cheap (or free)

[rich crane]

All about balance for sure

Most important thing is enjoying the content, whether it's movies, music, games

All the gear impacts how you experience it, but expensive gear doesn't magically fix something

[tight niche]

My sound setup is cobbled together from a lot of stuff but it’s still really good in comparison to everything else I’ve used

[rich crane]

I'll still enjoy a movie with the wife on a cheap tv if it's a good movie

[tight niche]

Like 4 brands of speakers

[tight niche]

720p60 32” tv from 2014, still good (though no wife lol)

[rich crane]

I had an old 32" 720 in the bedroom for years and it was great. Only upgraded because it was too far from the bed lol

[tight niche]

Yeah this one’s better a little closer

[rich crane]

My biggest hype --- I am doing a massive outdoor theater in the back yard

Going to invite a ton of neighbors and their kids over for movie nights as soon as it warms up

[tight niche]

Oh man that sounds nice

Can I be your neighbor

My area is like a ghost town

[rich crane]

Got a bright 4k projector, 150" screen, denon amp, towers, surround, etc.

Outdoor kitchen is almost done. Then the party begins lolol

[tight niche]

I don’t have a theater setup yet, just surround sound for my office/battlestation

[errant helm]

Oooo

[rich crane]

I'm a massive audio nut.

Like to a fault

I need to calm down a bit this year lol

Luckily some really cool stuff is being sent for review so I won't be purchasing as much this year.

More than enough to keep busy

[errant helm]

Whaaaat, do you have a yt or sum?

[tight niche]

Messy in here now but here’s mine

[tranquil birch]

[rich crane]

Check my profile, have YT in there

Or search name.

I don't think I can post links here

[errant helm]

@rich crane subbed

[tight niche]

Not supposed to be advertising in here but I THINK you can if someone asks? I’m not a mod though

[tranquil birch]

No narration?

[tight niche]

🤐

[tranquil birch]

Mute

[rich crane]

Yeah not sure. Would rather abide by the rules in case 🙂

I bought so much corsair product I don't wanna be kicked lolol

[tight niche]

Same here

[rich crane]

Recently bought the 5000D. SOO much better than my BeQuiet! case. Over 10 degree drop in temps with slower fan profile too

[tight niche]

I’ve got a 4000X/D myself

[rich crane]

awesome! I built my son a desktop for Christmas and used that case with the RGB kit for him. Awesome case

[tight niche]

Very easy to build in and looks nice

Been about a year now and I’m passively looking for a new one, it’s a little bit and boxy for me

Probably won’t swap though and there’s no real reason to

[tranquil birch]

I'm looking at a 5000D

[rich crane]

It's so good

I wish the PSU cable area had about 2mm more height, and a bit more depth, but overall it's great

[tight niche]

I don’t have enough room for one

[tranquil birch]

Currently have a 4000D, but I want a top mounted 360mm AIO. I only have the H100i which is a 240mm

[late roost]

I have one

I use it for my second rig

Still waiting for corsair to refresh the 1000d

[tranquil birch]

Especially since I definitely am getting a 12700K (which I DID NOT get scammed for) and I'll need some beefier cooling

[errant helm]

I have 4000d and top mounted 360mm 😅

[tranquil birch]

But I want to do it without further breaking my case

[late roost]

Not anymore

[errant helm]

It ain't broken

[tranquil birch]

It is

My PCIe slots are gone

[errant helm]

Lol

[errant helm]

Meant my case btw lol I didn't modify in any way

[tranquil birch]

@errant helm

[errant helm]

Bruh

[tranquil birch]

Who needs warranties anyway

[tight niche]

well a warranty on a case isnt much

other than the panel, and Corsair has a grace of "you break it once and we send a free one"

if i recall correctly

[wraith pecan]

500 usd motherboard in shipping

[errant helm]

Jeez! That's expensive!

[tranquil birch]

Would they accept that though

[tight niche]

Probably for a panel but not for the PCIe

[wraith pecan]

Got this over a month ago

Been to cold to go shooting

I did get it for 1400 tho

[rigid bison]

iPhone 14

[errant helm]

Lol

[errant helm]

I have 5 phones rn 😂😂 didn't realise till now

I keep most of my cash st home so if I lose my wallet I don't lose my money 😂

[rigid bison]

Good idea

[errant helm]

Samsung s22+ is better tho 😂

[rigid bison]

Yea the cameras amazing 🤩 I’ll give you that

[errant helm]

Yess, I love my cameras 🤩

My s22+, normal camera, no editing, pics from my recent bush trip, South east qld, Australia

@rigid bison ^^

That was at like 7-8 in the morning too 😂

[rigid bison]

Amazing and there so clear :0 makes me want one for the camera lol

[errant helm]

Just swap phone completely, you know ya wanna 😂

[rigid bison]

I find iPhone alot easier to navigate

[errant helm]

I've found, that when I send pics/screenshots from my phone via sms to apple, most the time they are scaled down so much they are blurry af and can't read text, dunno why tho, dunno if my screen/pics are higher resolution than Apple or not

[errant helm]

Apple is made to be easy and simple to learn and use unlike Android tho

[rigid bison]

Definitely the scaling is shocking tbh yea thanks why I like it if Samsung was as easy I’d be using one fact

[errant helm]

It just takes the first week or so and then your fine, I convinced one of my mates to get a s22+, gave up after one day 🤣

[late roost]

Yeah but le base model iphone 14 is literally jjst a ip13

[rigid bison]

No way 😂😂😂

[rigid bison]

Facts

[errant helm]

Bro cbf, bought it flat out for like 1.3k or sumthin and gave up after a day 😂

[late roost]

Neva buy the mid model

S22+ bad

[errant helm]

Nope

[late roost]

S22 ultra is where it's at

[errant helm]

S22 to small, s22U to big and don't like the curved edges, s22+ is perfect

[late roost]

I'll most likely be buying a s23u

[late roost]

Just have big hands

[errant helm]

I'm 16 💀

[late roost]

Guess what

Me too

🤣

[errant helm]

Oh wait, so r u

L

😂

Don't judge lol

Wished my s22+ had longer battery tho, although I use my phone quite a bit before school

[late roost]

I can almost cover half a can

[errant helm]

Damn 😂

[late roost]

But then again

I'm dutch

[errant helm]

That's my hand fully extended around the can 😂

Also, kes, does the can look familiar? 👀

[rigid bison]

Am not a fan either of big phones

[errant helm]

Bruh

[late roost]

[errant helm]

Fair, all our signs just say aldi tho, none say aldi sud

Actual company name of aldi sud is aldi sud

This thread never disappoints

[late roost]

[wraith pecan]

Lmao

[ashen lava]

exhibit A, this will get used for a month and then put down and never picked back up

[errant helm]

Dude ain't messing around, dropped some decent cash on that 😂😂

[ashen lava]

no buyers remorse yet, one of my favorites now

[errant helm]

I see that scx hiding in the back 😏😏🥵

[errant helm]

Here's an old pic of mine from many years back before either dropped the hobby aha

It's the banner for one of my few Facebook groups aha

[ashen lava]

very cool. lol yeah unfortunately i only get one of my trucks/cars out once every few months

[errant helm]

It was a beast, made a trailer out of scrap wood from the house next door 😂

[errant helm]

Ahh bugger, it was great fun, was about 4 years back now aha

[ashen lava]

i have a bad habit of going to the local hobbyshop and being spontaneous

that LOSI is solid, im really impressed. ive cart wheeled it so many times, you would think with the inertia from those heavy wheels it would break but nothing has broke yet.

[errant helm]

The one behind the green one?

[ashen lava]

the Losi MLT monster truck i first posted. the two behind the green one are Arrmas

[errant helm]

ahh, its been that long aha yeah the losi monster trucks are quiet strong

[hallow oriole]

the shoes have been delivered but the hoodie delayed

purchase price of the hoodie has since jumped to $174, wouldve been around 210 after fees

[tight niche]

Yeesh

Pricey

[ashen lava]

yeah that's an expensive hoodie

[hallow oriole]

lol its nothing compared to other stuff out there

[ashen lava]

I was gonna buy a hoodie for $80 the other day and decided it was too much lol

[hallow oriole]

theres stuff like this 😂

retail price is $875 which is already nuts, and then basically double it for the resale price

[ashen lava]

to each their own but no thanks lol

[hallow oriole]

i think it’s dumb too

id never buy anything designer

fear of god essentials is expensive but i’m buying it for the quality

imo worth the price for the quality of materials you’re getting

[errant helm]

Vans and Nike and probably the only designer stuff I'd buy, reason being, they are shoes, always pay quality for shoes, clothes are a different story

[hallow oriole]

high fashion stuff might be overpriced but has unmatchable quality

that’s why i like fear of god essentials

the essentials brand is the “affordable” subdivision of fear of god

offers the quality at a decent price

and fear of god is one of the few high fashion brands that focuses a lot more on quality than being flashy

[lavish pulsar]

@ashen lava

i play with them

[ashen lava]

very cool, i havent had a nitro in over a decade . (replied to wrong person oops)

Yeah fair lol

[ashen lava]

yeah ive been working for like 17 years, you will get there.

[errant helm]

Yeah aha I've had my small business going for a short while but slowly and more recently getting more and bigger jobs, and 2 of my mates are interested in being co-founders and joining me, so I'm hoping in a few years I could get to the point where I could hire a few people and sit back and watch aha

I have 4 regular customers and the odd ends, I currently do school 5 days a week and work 2 other jobs aha

[ashen lava]

thats awesome, goodjob

I love my vans Sk8-Hi shoes, maybe a bit much, buying the last 2 size 13 pairs of black Vans X Raeburn left in the whole of Australia...

[ashen lava]

my wife wears those but not the hightop

[errant helm]

These?

I'm a sucker for Sk8-Hi vans 🤭😂

[ashen lava]

like these

[balmy canyon]

260$ on shoes? Smhhhh

[ashen lava]

hey, its discord wastes money

[hallow oriole]

gore tex is expeeeensive

but also incredible quality

[balmy canyon]

Fair enough

[boreal copper]

just bought one of these

[errant helm]

Vans are incredible quality, $150 or $260, they will not dissapoint

I bought my current vans on 30/7/22 and I've worth them pretty much every day of every week and they are still super comfortable and minimal wear

[balmy canyon]

Honestly i hardly wear shoes anymore 🤣

[hallow oriole]

wut

what do you wear on your feet then

[balmy canyon]

Boots

[tight niche]

Factory go brrrr

[balmy canyon]

Indeeed lol

I own a pair of shoes but most of the time ill just wear boots instead

[late roost]

I have 2 pairs of shoes now

I got some work shoes and my normal sneakers

I'm being forced to wear work shoes now

[balmy canyon]

Well id hope so

Kinda dangerous not wearing them

[errant helm]

Welp

I just wasted a couple hundred

Is this a justified reason?

[ashen lava]

i just bought some shoes that i saw in an ad, lol. im not a big shoe guy so well see how they are

[errant helm]

Oh nice, I'm a massive summer for vans Sk8-Hi, and those are limited edition release and there are only 3 pairs of size 13 of both left in the whole of Australia, and I own one of each pair

[hallow oriole]

gotta smell good

[errant helm]

cleannn

[ashen lava]

huge bottle. that's like a lifetime supply, lol.

[hallow oriole]

lol yeah

will probably last me like 2.5 years at least

6.7 fl oz

$85

amazing price for the amount

a lot of colognes for 3.4 fl oz or less are around that price or even more

versace colognes tend to be more affordable

[errant helm]

Update!! My shoes arrive tomorrow and Wednesday!

[errant helm]

my parents dont know i spent over $400 aud on my vans i ordered and they got delivered earlier today when my dad was home, im gonna be dead when i get home 😭 💀

[errant helm]

^^^

[errant helm]

$149 aud 😂

[tranquil birch]

For a hedge trimmer?

[errant helm]

Yep

[ashen lava]

I wasted more money

[errant helm]

money well spent, love the light in the exhaust

[ashen lava]

am i the only one wasting money these days? bought a boat that i've used one time and probably never again 🙂

[balmy canyon]

does getting a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic count as wasting money?

[tranquil birch]

No because it's useful

[balmy canyon]

fair enough lol

[balmy canyon]

is this considered wasting money? getting watch bands to replace the rubber one?

also to make it more Division-esque?

[ashen lava]

did you get both?

[balmy canyon]

Yeeee

Came in a combination pack

[ashen lava]

cool, i like the mesh style

[balmy canyon]

i like both ngl

the one on the right looks more... Division esque tho 😛

will pair well with my case

[tight niche]

Mesh seems like it would pull your arm hair all the time

[balmy canyon]

probably 😂

[tight niche]

@fiery hollow

[fiery hollow]

Thank you!

I didn't scroll far enough down

[jolly umbra]

I wasted my money but ups delayed my package 😭

[fiery hollow]

I bought the pace 2 for a few new features like run route mapping and race predictions

I was suprised it came as fast as it did. Normally overnight through Amazon ends up being 3 days

[balmy canyon]

Neat lol

My samsung watch does all that stuff already :)

[tight niche]

Got 2 dimmer switches and 8 Phillips Warm Glow bulbs

Supposedly overnight shipping by 11AM

Who knows

[balmy canyon]

ill believe it when i see it

[tight niche]

It’s real

There was a demo in Menards when we had to go earlier and get a doorbell button

But they didn’t have the right stuff

[balmy canyon]

Meant the overnight shipping 😂

[tight niche]

Oh

Yeah I doubt it

Though it’s worked before

I did it for my monitor stand

KIND has a FedEx hub and I think an Amazon one as well so maybe

Not too close to there though

[tranquil birch]

Indy's airport code is hilarious to me

[balmy canyon]

[tranquil birch]

KIND

[balmy canyon]

wonder if people who work there are kind

[tranquil birch]

Probably not

TSA usually isn't KIND

[tight niche]

There’s also Indy regional, KQQQ

[tight niche]

I’ve actually never been there

Indy Exec and Indy Eagle Creek are opposites, KTYQ and KQTY

Well

Regional is QQQ/KMQJ

Eagle Creek is QTY/KEYE

[balmy canyon]

Ah lol

[tight niche]

Overnight worked. Delivery at 8am.

[tight niche]

I like these a lot

[balmy canyon]

Niceeeeee

[tight niche]

Camera doesn’t show but they get really warm when dark

Even though it’s led

[jolly umbra]

love me some TC

if my next place has dimmers I'll look into those bulbs

right now I am a fan of tunable white (wifi) for lamps

[tight niche]

I had to install the switches but it’s pretty easy and 100% worth it

Cost me about $45 to do 2 rooms

[jolly umbra]

There are these though, don’t need a new faceplate and maybe the landlord can’t tell???

[errant helm]

May I step in? 4 wheels for 150 (tyres are dead so pretty much just bought 4 rims for 150) and 3 tyres for 300, when I already have perfectly fine wheels and NEW tyres

[ashen lava]

beefy tires. truck will look good with those dark wheels too!

[errant helm]

Yesss, I'm dying to get them on 😂

[jolly umbra]

Might buy a 3d printer

[balmy canyon]

Do it

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[jolly umbra]

https://store.creality.com/products/ender-3-s1-3d-printer-aa7d

hmmm

[jolly umbra]

@proud hill do you have a 3d printer

[proud hill]

Yes, so does @lusty turtle

[jolly umbra]

which one

[lusty turtle]

hello i was mentioned

yes i do

i have a somewhat heavily modified CR20 PRO

[proud hill]

Prusa mini Plus

[jolly umbra]

thoughts on creality printers?

why prusa gotta be expensive

[lusty turtle]

a nah

[lusty turtle]

because they are reliable machines that wont break down in 2 months

[jolly umbra]

sigh

should i save up for a prusa then

[lusty turtle]

great quality, open source, great customer support

[lusty turtle]

i say you could try an anycubic kobra 2 for budget

save for a prusa mk4

or save for a bambulabs p1p

better option for a beginner in my opinion, mk4

its gonna last you quite a while

and it will work way better as a tool

if you get a cheap cheap, especially from creality, you will have to really get into the hobby to learn your printer, and once you know how to fix every problem you encountered, THEN you will be able to print reliably multiple times

[jolly umbra]

how'd you just convince me to double my spend amount like that 😭

[lusty turtle]

prusa you will most definitely also face some problems, but its going to be a much better experience since their tech support is pretty good, their guides, manuals and documentations are way better than creality, better quality, etc etc

[lusty turtle]

LMAOO

you could get a mk4 kit

700$

build the printer yourself

and because its prusa, the documentation is very good

[jolly umbra]

yeah thats what i'd do

i didn't even check the cost of the assembled version

[lusty turtle]

its like 1100$ iirc

for the assembled version

[jolly umbra]

geez

[lusty turtle]

plus, the kit comes with haribo gummies

(the assembled as well probably but idk)

[jolly umbra]

better not be the sugar free haribos

[lusty turtle]

doubt it

the manual lets you give yourself a treat for each step you complete

building a prusa sounds like a quite fun experience

and very beginner friendly

creality printer can also work, but with more effort and determination

and might require more learning

[jolly umbra]

https://sovol3d.com/products/sovol-sv07-klipper-direct-drive-3d-printer-print-speed-250mm-s?variant=45011789938997
i've also been recommended this

[lusty turtle]

plus, if you buy a prusa, you are supporting a company that open-sources their printers

[lusty turtle]

OOH that one

OH RIGHT the sovol

i forgot about those

[balmy canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-get-to-work-gif-21630516

[lusty turtle]

sv06 plus is a great poverty prusa

sv07 uuuh idk

i dont really like pom wheels

but like, ive heard good things since its a machine with klipper pre-installed

and man is klipper amazing

[jolly umbra]

so this could be a decent cheaper option

[lusty turtle]

yeah, will definitely need bit more service than a prusa

but its way better than a creality

[jolly umbra]

hmm

[lusty turtle]

it will be fast too since its a klipper machine

creality - you are willing to spend time fixing and tuning your printer, the printer basically becomes the hobby
prusa - you are willing to spend more money for a higher quality machine, it serves more as a tool
sovol - sv06 and sv06 plus are poverty prusas, sv07 is a good introduction to klipper, inbetweener of creality and prusa id say

[jolly umbra]

i assume SV06 and SV06 Plus are the same aside from print volume?

$250 is a nice price

and I'm not sure i need the extra print volume

[lusty turtle]

sv06 plus has a higher flow hotend (could potentially go faster, and even faster with klipper if you ever wanna install that down the line) , a bigger print volume, and a filament runout sensor compared to the sv06

[jolly umbra]

+50% price worth?

speed isn't that big of a concern to me, same with print volume
the sensor sounds a bit useful tho

[lusty turtle]

bigger print volume means you could print bigger stuff, stuff for cosplay like helmets, it has linear rails which are way nicer than POM wheels

sensor could def be useful

and it became pretty popular so you will definitely found a comunity around it

[jolly umbra]

$250 for the S6, $360 for the S6 Plus

[lusty turtle]

oh damn the s6 is quite discounted

[jolly umbra]

$250 is a very appealing price

[lusty turtle]

id still buy a plus because of the big print volume

its quite nice being able to print big

especially for cosplay or long stuff

or printing multiple things at once

[jolly umbra]

don't plan to do any human sized things (i.e., cosplay)

[lusty turtle]

only downsides of both s6's is their propietary hotend and nozzle

[lusty turtle]

then sv06 could do

[jolly umbra]

i assume that mostly means more expensive first party replacement hot ends?

[lusty turtle]

uuuuh, i think it might be almost the same

a bit harder to obtain

certainly not impossible

but since its an opensource printer, then you could upgrade it with a better hotend system down the line

adapters and stuff already exist

and probably 3rd party replacements for the stock extruder as well

youd be good, just a tiny bit less convinient

[jolly umbra]

as long as replacement parts will exist

[lusty turtle]

yeah

youd be good

getting into the hobby is quite fun ngl

will be frustrating but once you learn the basic common problems, youll find it fun

OH and get quality filaments

at least good enough quality

(sunlu, esun, hatchbox, polymaker, filamentum, prusament, etc.)

[jolly umbra]

maybe i'll get a prusa down the line if i actually use it enough

[lusty turtle]

meh id say get a voron down the line if you learn enough about the hobby

those are fast, reliable, and quality printers, but you gotta build them yourself

plus, gotta get a hardware kit and printer parts kit

its way more complicated and expensive but man, are vorons quite beautiful

if not then a prusa is good too

[jolly umbra]

okay i ordered the SV06

[lusty turtle]

nice

you ever need anything you can ask me, navy or any other 3d printing community

its quite big

[jolly umbra]

whats a good starter fillament

[lusty turtle]

any i listed here ngl, always start with PLA

sunlu is quite a good budget PLA, ive used it

esun is a bit higher quality and has better color options for PLA

[jolly umbra]

https://www.amazon.com/PLA-Filament-SUNLU-Dimensional-Plus/dp/B08CVG2RVP/
this?

[lusty turtle]

hatchbox and polymaker having the better ones

[lusty turtle]

ye

[jolly umbra]

for my first role i want something cheap cause i'll probably be screwing around quite a bit

[lusty turtle]

ye

get a fun color for that

plain white or black might be boring

[jolly umbra]

is it worth paying the extra $3 for a color

https://www.amazon.com/PLA-Filament-SUNLU-Dimensional-Plus/dp/B0BS962ZXN/?th=1

perhaps red

[lusty turtle]

if you think it is go ahead

whatever works for you, its just a color after all

[jolly umbra]

actually gonna go with grey

[lusty turtle]

Yeah. I'll keep my Vengeance

I'll use that secondary as a VR rig

Hook it up to my TV

Well I have a phone case and a flash drive in my cart that I do not needed

@white gate did that

4000X ➡️ 5000T

what benefit does that even bring? just curious

[white gate]

5000T is the greatest case from Corsair imo

[uncut blade]

should I upgrade from my 5000x?

[white gate]

If you love RGB yes

I also like how it doesn't have a boring boxy look

[uncut blade]

The price tag though… 500 dollars for a 5000t, yeesh

I saw it in a Corsair showcase booth today, and gawdamn, it’s amazing

Along with the t3 chair and xeneon flex

I’ll be honest, I love the look and feel of the flex, but that thing is so annoying to curve and uncurve, it feels like you are going to break the damn thing

[tight niche]

This

But also the demo I saw is on a slippery table

And I DO NOT want to drop it on the ground

You'd probably have to pay for it if you broke it right?
