Thank you for this forum

Not really a rant, but more for amusement. I really appreciate the people here, the very knowledgeable ones, and equally the not so much (of which I am one of). At least those coming here without experience seem to ask well thought out, legitimate questions (mostly 🙂 - however I also have a Bambu P2s arriving tomorrow just because it was cheap and its always nice having more than one of a thing lol. So I joined a couple of Fakebook groups and MY GOD IN HEAVEN, the questions asked there make me want to stick a fork in my brain. Barely better then "Do you turn the printer on when you try to print?" EVERY SINGLE ONE! - I have a physically restrain myself from verbally abusing the mindless, simpletons that seem to be drawn to those groups. 

So THANK YOU, Prusa users, thank you for not being the sheep that graze around the bambu fakebook groups that make me want to suicide myself.

You're welcome, I guess... And if on your journey to 3D printing you ever feel the urge to bang your head against the printer, Prusa may have what you need - solid oak makes this (presumably) a unique and satisfying experience.
And if you're not there yet, the Core One will even do the headbanging for you! No extra charge, comes with the firmware.

Ha, funny. Thanks. Seriously though. There are some really helpful people here. I have stolen more gcode and good ideas from posts than I ever thought I would use.

So which end of the filament goes into the printer? (I had someone ask me that once)

You can't be serious? I would have said "the other end"

Both. Wait time differs, though.

I try to give answers to the best of my ability, but I am not a 3D printing pro by any means, and anything you do you do at your own risk. BTW: I have no food for…

Internet was a lot better a few years ago, at least for many hobbies and interests with the community run forums. Nowdays you have to live through the "fork in brain feeling" every day instead, its wild out there 🙂 Im also glad a few good places still exists..
