Newbie looking for first printer!?

[AutoWiz]

I'm just saying that claiming large numbers in a support group is not exactly the best way to show how successful something is. And I am sorry you do not get that logic. Claiming how many are sold or how vast the aftermarket parts support is or how many different flavors are available or even prices going up over time all are all great ways to demonstrate the success of a product. It is troubling that the first thing you can think of to show the greatness of Creality is the size of it's support groups. And I would like to postulate, if I may, that maybe your first thought on Creality being of a support group speaks volumes in and of itself, no?

Its a user group, not a support group. Its for people who use Creality printers to discuss and share all aspects of them. You seem to think it is only for problems and I don't see where you are getting this idea from.

Your bias and inability to understand how a user group works speaks volumes in and of itself, no?

Regardless, I will bow down to your and Aardvarks superior knowledge. All Creality printers are garbage and thier users are idiots for not realizing this. I will no longer defend Creality printers or the users of them on this forum.

Bash away gentlemen. You and your printers are truly superior do you deserve to do so.

...your printers are truly superior...

Ya they are, Thank You for noticing. I do try my hardest. Like me they are all one of a kind. And I have been at it for a while, now. I currently have Old Blue..

Printalicious..

Big Red..

And I don't have a name as of yet, but there is this absolutely huge TronXY printer I am currently building and have come this far on..

Really, Thank You for noticing. I don't think I would have used 'superior' to describe my own machines. But it does sound nice. I am a member of many of your 'user groups' on F.B. They are support groups, buddy. Make-up, bikini's, and camera's are for showing off on social media. 3D printers are for making things with plastic. If you bought one and are very happy with it then that would imply that you are happily occupied in your spare time with 3d design software and slicer software and on thingiverse and exploring the incredible world of rapid prototyping. If you bought a 3d printer and find yourself dwelling on social media in a group it is most likely because you haven't found the joy you were looking for in your initial purchase. And if you bought a 3d printer just to show off and dwell on social media, well, you probably would have been better off with the make-up, bikini, and camera.

Wow dude. You need to come out of your mom's basement once in a while. There's a whole world out there. You may even meet a girl. No let's not get too far ahead. Just start by leaving the basement.

People with lives do more than 3D print and actually enjoy interacting with others, both on social media and face to face.

And I have to ask, why are you wasting time on here? You mustn't be finding the joy you were looking for in your printers. Otherwise you would be enjoying the incredible world of rapid prototyping right now, not showing off and dwelling on an internet forum.

Ya so here is a picture of my 3 children helping me build the new Geeetech i3 Pro B (Old Blue) when we first got it back in early 2016..

And here is a picture of my youngest son, Drew, helping me print an entire i3 printer a year later..


Because as a father of 3 my hobbies are teaching skills to my kids. I am here to help others in whichever way I can. be it directly or from ideas posted up on things to build or ways to rework these printers. And For each rework I have, there is a thingiverse page to go along complete with every design I drew up free for any and all to download and print out at will. And each of these printers also has a build thread here so any and all can even see an example of each piece and part being installed. I am no CA or Spegelius but I try to do my part.
