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)
RE: Thank you for this forum
You can't be serious? I would have said "the other end"

The end marked with a green dot, always. 👍

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..

Yeah I only really use Reddit, for social media...and that's through necessity rather than choice.
Honestly some of the questions I read on there...the answers are often so completely wrong it's amusing.
I'm by no means an expert, and often I get stuck on something so my normal approach is:
1. Prusa chat, often the best and quickest way to resolve a problem...however they're not always able to help.
2. Here, very knowledgable users on here...my only real complaints are the lack of users, and the god awful forum software.
3. If I get no solution through Prusa support or on here, and I'm in a rush...my last resort is to try Reddit and filter out all the nonsense solutions.

I find the signal-to-noise ratio on Reddit pretty unbearable. I don't have an account and never go to the site directly, but the discussions sometimes come up in search results. As you say, the combination of strongly held opinions and cluelessness can be amusing; but it's not a place where I would want to look for answers.
The only thing Reddit has going for it, as far as Prusa printers are concerned, is that Prusa themselves are active there -- in contrast to here, in their own forum. Which I find quite disappointing per se: Instead of adding value to this forum, Prusa's priority is to go where the loudest noise is.
