Valid points, I see what you’re saying. Speaking to “by default 40+”, I guess I’d rather see better enforcement for the laws in place before making the laws stricter for everyone. I am a big fan of what Paris is doing though. Making “peaceful zones” where they’re closed to through traffic. That doesn’t really solve the problem for traversing the entire city though. Gosh I wish we can just fully overhaul the city’s infrastructure to have such good public transportation that I don’t have to worry about needing to drive my car to get anywhere in an adequate amount of time.

I apologize if I made it seem like speed is unimportant. I agree with you completely that speed is a factor. But also, if a driver is going 40+ mph, they’re already going above the speed limit and breaking the law. What I’m trying to get at is that having cement medians between bike lanes and car lanes will solve more problems vs ticketing. I mean the amount of people who get tickets, don’t pay, get a suspended license, and still drive is huge. The way I see it is that speeders are gonna speed regardless of the limit, so putting physical barriers between the cagers and the bikers is a more effective solution. I mean I’ve seen a stretch of Wicker Park where there’s a cement median separating the lanes and there’s no way a car can get over it (in most circumstances).

Click “Slice Plate”, then click “Print Plate”. A pop up will appear where it shows your model, print time, and filament cost. That’s where you select what slot in the ams you want to use for the print.

If you’re talking about multi color printing, that’s set up elsewhere. I forgot exactly as I don’t have it right in front of me at the moment.

Hope that helps!

Lowering the speed limit isn’t going lower the amount of cars stopped in the bike lane, opening car doors in front of bikers, or turning in front of bikers. What we truly NEED is more people just all around paying attention to what they’re doing while in a car. It may be anecdotal, but all the bike crashes I’ve seen or heard of have been with cars going well below 30 mph, if they’re not stopped or stopping. I’m all for medians separating bike lanes and car lanes, but I’ll be real here, building infrastructure costs money. Lowering the speed limit increases ticket revenue.

X1 Carbon owner here. I’ve had absolutely zero issues with my printer and was not affected by the their recent fumble. I’ve had mine for over 6 months but under a year, & print most days out of the week. I love open source shit, but honestly, in my experience, if you want a set it and forget it, fantastic build quality & speed printer I’d recommend the X1 Carbon in a heartbeat. I’ve heard their slicer is a rip of Cura, I don’t know much about that though, but it’s worked very well for me. All’s I’m saying is that not everyone is having a bad experience with them, but I also can’t see the future. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’d recommend a Bambu printer. Cost to benefit is pretty good, and they’re very easy to use. Someone touched on their recent misfortune with the cloudstorage thing, which is a fair criticism, but I don’t think it should ice you out from them. I’ve had X1 Carbon, with AMS, for a while now and it has been nothing but an absolute breeze for me to use. Also to note, my printer wasn’t affected at all by their recent issue. I switch my printer off which I think may have removed me from the situation.
