StingyShopper on Voltx E800 800w 518wh LiFePO4 Portable Power Station + 5000mAh Charger $390 Delivered @ Ozzie Energy via MyDeal

Many mains voltage fridges have a big power spike on startup which is too much for the smaller wattage power stations like this. So it…

Yep, I’ve been 3D printing for 12 years now and literally built a couple of hundred printers. If anyone asks me what printer to get…

I've switched a clients print farm. Does that count? 10 x SV06 replaced with 8 x A1 and 2 x P1S. They have been extremely happy with the…

impoze on Up to 60% off 3D Printers: CR-Scan Otter: A$1,349, Falcon2 22W Laser Engraver & Cutter: A$829 Delivered @ Creality AU

I think that C report is a hoax as the C typeset isn’t correctly scaled to the rest of the text. Just a bit of photoshopping I think

Yuri Lowell on Blaupunkt 70" 4K UHD WebOS Smart TV (2024) $599 (Was $699) + Shipping ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

And it’s dead easy to get a 3 year statutory warranty repair on these name brands (LG, Sony etc) but might be a harder argument for such…

Skinnerr on Etymotic Research ER20XS Earplugs $21.47, or 2 for $36.07 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon US via AU

Earplugs and earmuffs together are next level silence.

Bambu’s are great but not for everything. One of my client uses a print farm of these for TPU. The Bambu/new gen printers are a waste in…

hopper on LISEN 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Station for Apple Device $29.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ LISEN Space Amazon AU

The Apple version was going to let you put your devices down anywhere on the charging pad rather than nestle each device into a specific…

SmoothCactus on HEYMIX 100W Power Bank, 20000mAh - $59.49 Delivered @ Heymix via Amazon AU

The simpler explanation is the power bank burned their house down and the have nothing left to access Amazon with to leave a review ;)

gravelc on SWISS+TECH 21-IN-1 Folding Multi Tool with Pouch $29 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Bunnings Warehouse

SOG is better in my experience. My original one is 30 years old and looks like new despite my regular abuse.

If you need to mesh Unifi is better as the TPLink need the controller (Omada) running all the time somewhere on the network. In other…

OzzyBrak on QIDI X-Max 3 3D Filament Printer $1239 Delivered from AU Warehouse @ QIDI Tech

Generally this is everything the K1 printers should have been and better for warp prone and exotic filaments.

bob98 on QIDI X-Max 3 3D Filament Printer $1239 Delivered from AU Warehouse @ QIDI Tech

If your only experience of 3D printing is Bambus you’re better off sticking with them as it’s easy. There’s a bit extra to know with…

Speaking as someone who has used this style of laser, even proper glasses don’t give proper protection. With a 40W visible laser, if…

Rorzaborg on Eibos Cyclopes Dual Filament Dryer $132.96 Delivered (15% off from $179.95 & Extra $20 off) @ 3D Printers Online

I’ve gone through 3 of them in just over a year and I barely use them so no more budget humidifiers for me.

garage sale on Makita 18V Battery Shell/Case for BL1840 BL1850 BL1830 BL1860B LXT 400 US$11.24 (~A$17.30) Delivered @ Creativity via AliExpress

Most “charge bags” I’ve seen only but you a few extra seconds before they too are past of the lithium fire.

No bargain. Was $349 @ Wild Earth last week and $369.95 is their regular price.

You really want a fibre laser for that kind of work. It works at a different frequency and is ideal for engraving metal (and cutting it at…

roller commented on [macOS] BuhoNTFS (NTFS Disc Mounting Software) Free Lifetime Licence (Save US$34.99) @ Dr Buho
A lot of extra risk to just install what is fundamentally free software anyway. Don’t do it and use the other free methods that are clean…

I’m pretty sure a swappable tail that doesn’t automatically set current is not legal in Australia. It should not be possible by design…

NigelTufnel on Qidi Tech X-Plus 3 Fully Enclosed 3D Printer $897.66 Delivered from AU Warehouse @ Qidi Tech

brichman on [Pre Order] Two Trees TTS 10W Laser Cutter Engraver $437 Delivered @ 3D Printers Online Australia

Agreed. Their blurb is also all for the 5.5W model or excludes the 10W model in some specs. No questions its the true 10W model as they has…

roller posted a deal [Pre Order] Two Trees TTS 10W Laser Cutter Engraver $437 Delivered @ 3D Printers Online Australia
This is the manual adjust focus model with only 300x300mm cutting area. 10W is the laser output as Two Trees doesn’t usually do the dodgy…

I deal with a 50+ printers a year. At that sample size I can tell you a lot of customers just get put in the too hard basket and ignored.

Thing is, such behaviour is pretty much standard for all the budget 3D printers. I've seen the same behaviour from Evnovo (Artillery),…
