  • I’m clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.

    Edit:

    Found it!

    SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

    Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.










  • Agreed, imho calibration is the biggest issue. Also print times - generally I wouldn’t leave a print job running (e.g. in hotel room whilst I’m out sightseeing) without being near or at least monitoring it. And finally the smell of some filaments can bother some people.

    On the otherhand it looks really neat, the size is great and I think it’d be a good solution to your requirements. Just don’t be surprised if you end up making a permanent space for it in order to avoid too much recalibration everytime you set it up 😂

    And addressing your other concern, I think part of the original reprap ideal was that a 3D printer could print parts to build another printer, and parts to modify and improve itself. I’ve got a i3 clone and parts are usually generic and off the shelf - you might be able to check what parts it uses?
