The two ways of fighting profiteering

DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WOULDN'T STEAL

You mean like US healthcare insurance?

Or its the house people designated as the holiday house, maybe! Only actually used fully a few times a year.

Me too I enjoy putting my meatloaf in Evil_Shruberry oven

If Amazon was a legit normal business this wouldn't have worked and everything would have been progressed. As you said, sheer evil made makes this.

If you do not have a 3D printer and CAD software, you are 100% right.

If you already have those things like OP, then why not just design / print one? I am also a 3D printer / CAD person, and I love designing replacement parts that are wither too expensive, or often impossible to find. Mostly though, I design and print things that make my and my families lives easier / nicer / more convenient. And they are customized to the exact item and function, something that you would most likely never be able to get in a store or online.

Just to name a few things.

Come on. The 1.0 release is a huge milestone, but saying it's better than the entry level commercial options is just disingenuous.

I have actually switched over to it because I run a small 3D printing business as a side income, which isn't nearly profitable enough to afford an onshape license, and although Fusion360 has an affordable startup license it simply won't work on Linux and my hackintosh laptop isn't powerful enough for cad.

It is at a point where it is very usable if you are willing to invest the time needed to learn it, but the learning curve is much, much steeper than that of OnShape or Fusion360, especially if it is your first CAD program.

For a hobbyist that just wants to model a few things and not sell them I would always recommend OnShape or Fusion360 over FreeCAD, or even Tinkercad if said person just wants to model extremely simple things.

[anivia@feddit.org]

The type of person to do this most likely already has a 3d printer, and cad software is free for personal use. The electricity and filament cost for this part would be a few cents and it would take minutes to print on modern printers

Even if you didn't have a 3d printer it would be significantly cheaper to use a 3d printing service to order the part, than to buy OEM replacement knob

That's my house. We have dual ovens and use them simultaneously several times a year, mostly holidays.

[spezi@feddit.org]

Ours are electric and can sit flush with the front after pressing them in. I meant soare parts in general

[mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world]

90cm.

We have one for our 4 adult, 2 kid household. Its amazing how often it's not big enough for all sorts of things.

I think 2 X 60cm ovens make more sense in hindsight and they also dont take as long to heat up

[mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world]

I had my shower knobs as vice grips for a long while

[blackfire@lemmy.world]

Thats going to be a squidgy mess after a long cooking session. Hope he doesn't get plastic burns.

[zxqwas@lemmy.world]

They should not be that warm but it's about the limit of what is comfortable to touch.

[varyingexpertise@feddit.org]

I've always got a spool of high temperature PLA for that, good for up to 140°C.

[ayyy@sh.itjust.works]

Wait you have kids and still sink money into crypto shillcoins?

[cyberegg@discuss.tchncs.de]

The comfortable temperature limit to touch is room temperature because anything higher indicates a broken oven which makes me highly uncomfortable.

You didn't steal it, you recycled.

So one is creative and solution seeking and now proud about himself and an inspiration to others and the other one -- not, but just a selfish thief. Down the stairs with him.
