  • It be great to see some production moved state side to reduce shipping and lead times. But they still have to do something in regards cost and speed.

    I have no doubt how open and reparable prusa printers are and that has played a role in print farms and industrial settings wanting them.

    However looking at the mk4 pre-built I am looking at $1200. That is 3 a1 printers. Will a single mk4 have the same up time as 3 a1 printers ? Each a 1 is faster I believe than the prusa mk4 . I can get 4 a1 mini machines.

    The mk3 is not much better for me it’s almost $900 pre-built. That is 3 a1 mini machines and I can get 2 a1s and I’d be just $60 shy of making one of those the ams lite bundle.

    So yea prusa needs to get the price down. They also need to integrate some of the newer tech like lidar. Heck the prusa mini is $429 us and a filament sensor for ot os $20 so it’s $450. The a1 mini is $300 or $469 for the bundle with ams lite.

    I hope to see prusa adjust prices and add new features in during 2024.








  • You can make the argument that toplessness on men is more predatory since it’s so casually accepted and thus male body’s are more sexually exploited. In my younger in shape days lots of women were turned on by my shirtless torso

    At the end of the day its advertisers who will decide what os acceptable and a lot of brands don’t want to deal woth nudity. The majority don’t want to have to have a nuanced review of the content and on a love stream it be impossible to do so anyway .

    Also all nudity is sexual in nature. A young heterosexual male going through puberty seeing a vagina would be aroused just as much as a homosexual boy seeing a penis. Or a hetero female seeing a penis vs a homosexual female seeing a vagina.

    There are plenty of cam sites and porn sites these women can go to of they want to stream nudity. I am sire someone can create a middle ground between game streaming and women top less begging for donations. It’s just that the top less site would only have donations and no advertising.









  • Yea Here in the states the prusa mini + is $480 with the filament sensor.

    The a1 mini is $300. Or $460 with the ams lite.

    The a1 mini is $15 to ship while prusa os $45-66 depending on what I want

    Also bambu is avaliable at microcenter by me while I dont k ow of any store that sells prusa here.

    The new a1 is even a better value. $400 or $560 woth the ams lite vs the prusa mk3s at $650 for the kit or $900 built

    I can get the a1 + A1 mini for just $50 more than the mk3s kit.

    I’d love to support prusa but maybe they should think of opening a branch in the states or team up with a retail partner
