kanzure'Thats a pretty depressing worst case scenario: it might be polite if more first time buyers were aware of the potential difficulties. It seems like the MakerBot is less a "3D printer kit" as "a collection of parts to get you started with endless hours of trying, and maybe failing, to build a 3D printer".'09:09
phrykMhh09:10
phrykFrom what I've seen the 3d printers aren't currently really good...09:10

kanzure""A novel pathway regulates memory and plasticity via SIRT1 and miR-134"09:44
Utopiahphryk: tbh when I chat with friends about 3dprinters and they discover it for the first time I warn them that I had up and downs between discovering the principle (and imaginating the potential) and the actual usage09:46
Utopiahit's a bit like doing an HelloWorld and thinking about AI ;)09:48
Utopiah(which doesn't suggest it's impossible, just not necessarly an easy and short path)09:48
phrykYeah...09:49
phrykAt 26c3 there where some 3d printers... one guy gave me a whistle he'd done with it...09:49
phrykI asked him "this works?" and he replied "yes, sure!". It didn't... And it felt like it could crumble if i touched it too much...09:50
bdeskhe should cut two grooves in it and call it an ashtray09:50
Utopiahphryk: you might want to check your WeeChat/terminal encoding, most of your sentences end with "?"09:50
phrykUtopiah: works everywhere else... its utf809:52
phryk... is the utf8 char for the three dots09:52
Utopiahah ok, weird, Im suppose to handle UTF8 here too, never had problem before09:52
