    After waiting too long for a waterforce 5090 I decided to just go ahead and get a 5080 as I wanted to put the rest of my bits together with a new GPU

    Palit 5080 gaming Pro, on the cheaper side of 5080s fingers crossed it is not rubbish, should hopefully cope with 4k a bit better than my 3080Ti.

    Wow, that brings back memories of playing Heimdall on my Amiga - fantastic game.

    Unless my memory fails me, it was also the first game played on GamesMaster back in the day - the hair-chopping minigame, anyway!

    I initially thought it was a case and spent more seconds than I care to admit wondering why it has a ball of wire or something stuck on the front :lol:

    They certainly do seem like a solid printer. If I had the patience for a 3 month wait, I’d have got one myself :grin:

    But I’ve been pretty satisfied with the Q1 Pro, tbh.

    You'll enjoy it, it's a really good printer. They'll be launching the filament switcher for it around the time yours arrives.

    In other news, I've joined Meaco's fan club :rolleyes: with their Sefte 10 model.

    Yes, the printer is £300 + shipping (~£20 iirc), if you don't buy an accessory pack. I think I paid £425 all in, which includes extra filament, build plates, hot end etc.. but it's not coming till August so I just stuck it on the Paypal pay-in-three option.

    Aye, you’ll usually want a pack of extras if it’s your first printer. Spare print beds, spare nozzle, possibly a hotend. And filament, of course :grin:. It’s often cheaper on shipping to order it all at once. I need a new print bed sheet for my Q1 Pro, which costs about £25; I can’t tell if the ones I find on Amazon are legit or even compatible, and Qidi want £20 shipping.

    FYI - Elegoo don't sell just nozzles for the Centauri yet, only complete hotends (in 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8mm - 0.4mm is supplied with the printer), and everything is pre-order only right now.

    New torch, because n+1:

    Olight Arkfeld Pro. The "Racing Stripe" version was cheaper than the black or green versions, and the orange had already sold out so... yeah. Racing stripe it is!

    There's a white LED good to 1,300 lumens (briefly) in turbo or 435 lumens on high, a 900mW UV LED, and a laser pointer - which, in this UK version, has been powered-down to meet Class 1 requirements, so it ain't as powerful as the international version (which is, I believe, Class 3).

    Yes, the Arkfeld Ultra is better. It's also more than twice what I paid for the Pro...

    Does a bundled freebie count as a purchase? Missus bought a 5070 and got this game with it, not her style so it ended up in my library
