  • So true! I’ve not printed yet a single benchie or any other calibration test on it, while on my previous printer (Artillery X2) I wasted a lot of time and filament trying to fix layers banding and flow rates and even choosing the right slicer. I was also always concerned to start a new big print not knowing if it would succeed or fail. Those times are gone now

    I’m trying it now too, thanks for the comment, but if you’re an ex-Apollo like me, I highly recommend giving a try to Wefwef.app. It’s a web app but you can install it on your screen and looks almost identical to Apollo and feels very much like home. I discovered it today thanks to another comment and I can’t believe this exists.


  • For all of the people here who knows about 3D printing, this happens all the time with every market: fixing some kind of issues for some kind of pipes for a plumber may seem like a steal, but it’s what they take for their knowledge about how to fix it. I’ve been a professional computer repair man and at the beginning I also couldn’t believe people would pay to help them to reinstall Windows on their PCs, because to me that was really simple. But most people don’t know and don’t want to know about some things (you and me included) and are willing to pay for a service or a good that they want. Your knowledge about 3D printers has value and you can benefit from it.

    Being said that, those statues seem to be made with the cheapest printer and filament they could find. If at least they used a better printer and some marble filament, it would look more professional or appealing
