    Awesome, just a little disappointed at the amount of silk filaments in that pic. Man card revoked.

    Tell me about your DIY dry box. I have a plastic box with lid that fits about 15 or so rolls of filament, and it is lined with each packet of silica beads I can get my hands on, adding more every time I open a role of filament. Not sure how efficient it is, that's why I'm asking around.

    I am in the market for a dryer - what are you guys using? I am looking at the Creality Space Pi SE or Space Pi 2. Also, what are the specs of your computers used for slicing? I have a Ryzen 5 3400G with 16GB RAM, that is struggling with the more complex stuff...

    I bit the bullet and bought TPU for recreational use this weekend. Quite a learning curve, as the standard profiles didn’t work at all. Ended up with this and cannot be happier about the outcome!

    CPAP/APAP and sleep apnea

    I stand corrected - it could also be funded from your above threshold benefits, if relevant. https://www.discovery.co.za/medical-aid/get-external-medical-items

    CPAP/APAP and sleep apnea

    It will be paid from your MSA regardless of when you take it. It might be limited to at least three years, but they will not pay for it, you will.

    CPAP/APAP and sleep apnea

    They don't but like everything with moving parts, it has a finite lifetime. It is measured in hours of usage and can give you a good idea of how long it has left.

    These guys are in Brooklyn, Pretoria. I have bought my Resmed machine and masks and whatnot from them https://www.cpapessentials.co.za/

    This was Buildvolume house brand clear PETG. Not clear, translucent. I tried clear PLA first but it was very brittle.

    I started recently with a V3 KE, and yes, there was some forced sessions of "know thy printer". I also took the Snapmaker U1 route and it is MUCH simpler, even though the machine is more complex. I still love my Ender, and have learned much more about 3d printing from it than I would have from...

    I am not taking the CFS lite - the printer has four spools to hold filament, so you are not so dependent on it loading via CFS. The CFS is a dry box, but not a filament dryer, I don't really see too much advantage in it. That being said, I don't own any CFS or equivalent, so maybe it really is...
