Thanks for the info. I live in a studio apartment and it sound like that might not be all that great for this. though i suppose i could open the doors i get a great crossbreeze.

I do have one Q, can you stop and start printing or does it have to keep running till done?

Side note, i got my new shelf for my closet, which is adding another 8 cubic feet of space to my place and ill finally have the pile of boxes put away that have been taking up space where i will be doing my project. So hopefully next month ill be starting! I just need to grab a web cam, and get my new drives stuffed into my comp along with a win 11 upgrade. I grabbed 12 tb worth of space between ssd and hdd for my video archiving project, but that will be more than enough space for both projects.

I think ill just work on this stuff for a while maybe push that 3d printing idea down the road. So thanks for that info
I guess they are not quite up to startrek replicator ease of use yet..

Yeah, it's definitely requires some space to have this stuff, I'm pretty damned lucky in that regard!

You can pause printing on either style of printer, though I never have, to be honest. Closest I've gotten is when my FDM printer detected it was running low on filament, so it paused itself and waited until I loaded a new spool.

Also, one more con of FDM: Noisy.

I kind of forget about that. I have excellent hearing, but I'm really good at tuning out consistent noise, but I do know that kind of stuff (such as case fans for a lot of people) can drive people nuts.

Side note: I'm actually doing a test right now. My 9-hour print finished last night without too many issues, one item on the plate failed, but I'm noticing some stringing on the latest stuff I printed (basically looks like cobwebs on stuff) and after doing some calibration tests, I can't seem to get the printer to stop doing that. Kind of wondering if it's because of the filament I'm using, so I swapped to a different brand to see what happens...

I was playing Elden Ring and noticed some strange, ghostly rectangles on the left side of my screen. I took a screenshot but, when I looked at the shot, they weren't there. I took a video and again, they weren't there! Finally, last night the Win11 widgets weren't loading, making the left side of my screen blank - and there were the ghostly rectangles!

When I closed the widget window, I figured it out immediately. There were pure-white icons (text and PDF files) right at those locations that had been on my desktop for years. Screen burn-in!! I thought that stuff was long gone, but I guess not. <sigh>

Huh, that's pretty crazy. Do you have an OLED monitor? I do know they can be affected by burn in, but I thought it took several thousand hours.
