This is the only way I’ve been successful with a microwave dry. For a standard 1000-1100 watt microwave, drop the power down to 20%.

I normally toss them into my food dehydrator while I’m drying filament rolls though so I don’t need another step.

The hole is for breathing

Close! See my other comment for an example

Okay, but understand that their culture has different standards than ours

This is the traditional rejection outfit women on Naboo wear. You should see the outfit they wear for romantic acceptance!

Your think I’m fucking around here!? Mark it zero!

Please tell us your upper limit for your budget because our definitions of reasonable might differ.

I mean, I think defining a budget is important in order to properly answer this question for the asker because what I consider reasonable may be different from what others think. Clearly they’re wrong, but let’s just sidestep that for a moment.

I think, dollar for dollar, the best device is a refurbished Steam Deck. That may feel like too much money for emulating a 25 year old game console for some people, and I respect that.

I don’t keep up with all the ARM based handhelds anymore precisely because by spending a little more on a Steam Deck, I no longer had to care about the next Anbernic/Powkiddy/Retroid/etc. being able to emulate some specific platform well enough to play that one game the last handheld model just couldn’t quite play. The Deck has enough power that it plays up through Wii U very well and Switch pretty well.

Emulated platforms combined with all the games you have available on PC means the Deck can cover the vast majority of the history of video games.

So I thought it was reasonable to spend the money one time on a Steam rather than to buy multiple, cheaper handhelds over years.

I think I like what I see out of the Qidi brand, but I don’t have any experience with them.

I would be interested in a review post from you should you decide to go that way.

The deck is now 3 years old, so it’s not all that future proof. I expect to see a successor sometime in the next 2-3 years or whenever it makes sense for Valve to upgrade it without losing battery life.

I’m on my second Deck (LCD sold for an OLED), and I honestly couldn’t be much happier. I feel like the base models are one hellava good buy even still.

I pretty much only use my Deck for older/simpler/indie games. I tried Ghost of Tsushima, and I definitely couldn’t enjoy it at the performance and detail level the Deck is capable of. However, streaming it from my PS5 is still a pretty great experience. That said, it still looks better on a 4K screen.

If you haven’t made a decision yet, Formbot has 350mm Voron 2.4 kits back in stock. They ship from Czech Republic or China.

The Sovol SV08 is a good option too if you don’t feel like building from scratch.
