That is simply incorrect. In lightning the wearing part also was on the cable. Simply by it being a softer metal.

Don’t worry about it too much. As long as you don’t physically damage the pins, there is no problem. They are protected against electrical shorts.

You are literally the first person that I have heard about who is satisfied with a microswiss hotend. Most people say it is overpriced and not very good compared to others (like the Dragon hotend)

The 90 series is always overpriced and inefficient. Tell me about the 80 series.

For some people it simply does not help with the workflow. For me it is a significant upgrade as it allows me to never use the normal mouse to move around in 3D, and allows me to quickly move the view to where I want it to be. Without it, moving in 3D just feels clunky to me.

But as I said, it is a preference.

Sure. But the price is maybe 2x. Apple wants you to pay almost 10x.

Then your ambient air while printing is too cold. You need a chamber with >40°C

German manufacturers like Volkswagen slept for decades without innovating.

Again, get a dedicated iPad and mount it permanently in the kitchen. The new display won’t be much cheaper than the cheapest iPad.

Looking forward to a Mac mini version.

Sure. But it is not a Mac. A MacBook can be put to sleep with 100% and one week later wake up with 90% left.

That may be the case. But it isn’t for 95% of people.

With current hardware the power draw at sleep is negligible, so power off doesn’t matter.

You can spin this argument both ways. And sleep is more convenient, so that’s what most people choose.

You put it to sleep, the power draw is almost zero (really, my power meter can not measure it). It wakes up when you press a button on the keyboard or move the mouse. You really do not need the power button…

Symbolic links work just fine.

In fact, there is very little that works differently between Intel and Apple silicon on macOS.

From what people told me macOS shouldn’t even work AT ALL on Apple silicon. Don’t believe everything you read online ;)

You could create a symbolic link, that would work.

In the picture is no tube going to the toolhead. The white line you see is the filament. The Bowden tube is only connected to the frame. That means that every time the toolhead moves to either side, it will tug on the filament. potentially creating artifacts in the print and maybe even causing underextrusion and slipping extruder gears.

Still US only… which is a shame…

I am a bit sad that polyholes didn’t really catch on. They would have solved that problem: https://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2011/02/polyholes.html?m=1
