  • You know… I just had to test it.

    Just threw together a model with some holes, it’s actually faster to print without the holes, even though it uses slightly less material, because there’s fewer retractions and nozzle hopping around.

    I’m sure you can optimize it more, but for a quick test, just throwing a solid disc out there will most likely be faster to print.

    edit: accidentally had the gear teeth bigger on the non-hole version - they’re the same now.


  • You’re probably going to be perfectly satisfied with either.

    The M1D has the second tool mount, with all the pros and cons behind that.

    The Core 1 is made in the EU, with a company that backs it’s products, and will provide an upgrade path for any changes they make.

    The Aurora Tech channel has a really good video showing the pre-release M1D along with a comparison to other similar printers.

    Honestly, the Core One is a flagship product from a highly respected brand that pays its workers fairly and supports the products longer than they would be expected to. If you can afford it, I would go with the Prusa.









  • The official way to get movies and TV series for self hosting is to purchase them on physical disc, then rip that media to your computer so you don’t need to swap out discs anymore.

    There are also tools to rip the movies from streaming sites. Depending on how you want to do it, there’s various tools to download the content, but it’s a bit of a war between the streamers and the end users.

    There’s also ways to download that content from people who share it online. Depending on where you live, this might be completely legal, it might get you fined, it might get your internet shut off, or it might get you put in jail. The worst most people get is a letter telling them to knock it off, but you should look into the laws where you live to find out for sure.
