The real crime is both those jackets are cut too short. Any position other than standing straight with arms at the sides exposes my sensual muffin tops.

That anyone bought lazyrolling gear when you could get an equivalent product for half the price at a motorbike store is fuckin beyond me. +100 points for marketing to those guys.

Definitely. I only got the casual pants when the new version came out and they were offloading them for like $80. Revzilla got that shit on lock.

This has been my struggle for so long. I returned 3 jackets I picked up on Amazon because they all crop topped me. I think it has something to do with buckling them to your belt so that they donāt slide up but I donāt care, Iām trying to look stylish. I finally found one that is a normal length and also has a zip in thermal liner so itās good for all year.

You should ask about how Lazyrolling felt about this. What I heard directly- they were the first for Esk8 and felt they got blatantly ripped off by Xboards. They just didnāt throw a multi-day public social media smear campaign in response.
FWIW: Iām not saying I agree.
This is actually my point. Youāll notice I said nothing at the time to Xboards about Lazyrolling, I didnāt see it as an issue then and I donāt see this as an issue now.
There are hundreds of similar riding jackets and hoodies available. Similarly there are hundreds of riding gloves available, all of varying degrees of similarity. There arenāt an equal number of manufacturers making these for all these companies either, itās a small fraction pumping out a bunch of templated product.
Yāall are very hung up that these gloves share a palm-dot feature, but if you stop tunnel visioning and look at the industry at a whole they are no more similar than countless other brands of gloves are to each other.
Lastly, sending in a napkin drawing doesnāt mean you own their factory template. The amount of work and infrastructure that a textile factory puts in to be able to create commodity goods is much greater than the effort of some random client sending in customizations he wants to a product they already offer.
The people upset about this also have zero experience in manufacturing/distribution, and it shows. Take your misguided outrage and educate yourselves, please.

I really only ever print in petg, so the extra cost of the carbon just didnāt seem justified for me.
Super excited tho. Been battling with this ender for a few weeks now and iām ready to throw it in the bin.

Donāt, they make good platforms for other cnc stuff, like lasers and draw knive cutters.

Iām ready to take it of your hands and Iām not even asking money
I donāt like tinkering with these things. Iāll keep trying to tune it for the time being, but itās really pissed me off. Been tinkering with it for nearly a month now and still canāt manage to get it dialled in.
I donāt have the patience or will to modify it.

Well a small diode laser or a line cutter would be far less complicated than printing. Basically all 2D stuff is. But I get it, sometimes tinkering can get frustrating.

I donāt doubt it for a second. Happy to pay 4x as much money for a printer that requires less skill

git gud. 
In all seriousness, everyone thatās got one knows how much of a pain in the cock 3d printers can be. I have been tempted by a bamboo labs myself to go alongside my Voron 2.4 (which is pumping out consistent high quality prints) just for another press print and play printer. They look like great bits of kit

So far my Prusa has been very āprint and playā, although I had to assemble it myself. Then again, a Prusa is nowadays almost the price of a bamboo. If I had to fight an Ender 3 everytime I wanted to print something I probably would have kicked it to shit by now.

For me to get a prusa here now its more than double the price of the p1p.
I loved the prusa, but the price is pretty hard to swallow with options like this available.

Yeah the price it pretty steep. Got mine for 790ā¬ (kit price), and that already felt like a lot. Apart from automatic bed leveling if hasnāt got the many nice features a bamboo has. Mainly got it because all the parts are printable and the āopen sourceā feeling about it. If I were you Iād done the same thing.
Yeah when we bought the prusa for the shop it was like 1600aud for the kit. I actually enjoyed the build but if weāre comparing prices, the p1p comes pretty much fully assembled.

yeah would be silly to spend that much money on a bed slinger!
Bambu stuff is wild. Its like 100% dumb dumb proof. I cant imagine what a skilled printer can do or being someome who slogged through other models . Plus the speed is wild. I definitely feel like i cheated it being my first one.
My body is ready. Bank account is pretty upset but fuck that guy
