      think that’s the problem. it’s like carrying in the heavy bags of salt or stuff. gotta have two. to stay balanced.

      you know. one printer with the .1mm nozzle (and the gear train on the extruder to make that work… bleh) and another printer with the 1mm nozzle and 3mm filament, and another with the direct drive for the TPU and stuff… and maybe a paste extrusion… and maybe… uh…

      …okay maybe I have a problem…

      Exactly. You have a problem once they start multiplying.
      If you start printing 3D printer, that is a terminal stage and no help for you anymore.

    What kind of magical land do you live in where you can have your can store your filament in the open without it getting soaked?

      It’s about 38%RH in the house, I just throw the spool in the dryer for a bit and bowden goes straight from dryer to filament sensor in the enclosure

    The only thing that I can see is out of hand is the open air filament storage! (I live in the tropics so vacbags and dessicant are a must!)

    My friend, you have nothing to worry about. Try 6 printers and over 150 spools…

      Lol - yeah once I saw where it was all going I got the lack setup for my wife’s sanity. I’m surprised I’ve been able to keep it as “tidy” as it is… though I still end up having to clean out my corner every weekend.
      Definitely won’t be joining a filament of the month club, learned that lesson with cheese…so many meh cheeses

      Talk me into one! My understanding is Downsides: Mess/smell ? Upsides: Level of detail ?

      I’d really love to know your thoughts haven’t been able to sell myself though - I mainly am looking for part strength or resilience, detail matters less to me

        Downsides and upsides are what you’ve listed here. Also, resin isn’t just stinky, it’s toxic, and setup and tear down is a pain in the ass.

        Like a HUGE pain in the ass,

        Resin prints are also brittle, so unless your just using it for minis, FDM is still more useful/ fun

          OK perfect confirming what I thought - the have their uses but I have no interest in minis and don’t need anything more detailed than I can get at 0.12 layer height
