Wait so what was the trick to save time and filament? Just rotating the part to use fewer supports?
Others can correct me if I’m wrong, but PLA the plastic itself is food safe. As in, you can put it in your mouth and it’s fine. The issue comes from the 3d printing process which tends to create small pockets and porous surfaces where microbes can hide and grow once it gets wet, kind of like a sponge. So you could print a single-use fork and eat with it, but don’t reuse it later.
I think an insert for cutlery would be fine since you aren’t going to be getting it wet or putting it in contact with your mouth or food.
Seconding this. V2 has been awesome for me, but I had to add a bltouch to get consistently good results without fiddling with leveling all the time. Now, V2 gives me flawless prints with minimal tinkering.
Neo adds this by default, plus those other few upgrades that I think make it perfect for a newbie who just want to print.
V2 is good if you want to spend a little more time getting to know the machine and putting it together. Gives a good feel for how the machine works and is a good experience on its own.
The way I picture this is by letting communities have some sort of “partner communities” listing. If mods of games@xyz decide they like the content of games@abc, and gaming@123, they add those communities as “partners” (perhaps those communities have to accept which in turn adds games@abc as their partner). Then, when any user subscribes to one partnered community, they also become subscribed by proxy to the others, and begin to see posts from all 3.
This helps smaller communities piggyback on the success of willing larger communities and gain a bit of visibility as well, which should encourage growth of each partner so smaller ones don’t just die out.
Communities can “unpartner” at any time, in which case users would only remain subscribed to the one they originally selected. And of course, users could explicitly block any of the partnered communities if they don’t want to see the whole set.
Defederation blocks communication both ways, I believe.
