Well to start off, I didn't really know where to write about this so I thought why not do it in my own blog that way I don't get unnecessay comments telling me why i posted this here and not there..

Anyway I was wondering ever since I had read this thread yesterday(I mean my time that is GMT +5:30). There were guys cribbing(the guys from the US) that they had slow internet connections compared to Japan, so I'd just like to ask what's the speed of the internet connection that you guys are using.. I'd also like to know if anyone in this forum is connected to the net like I am (I am currently connected to the net via my cellphone. I use internet service that my cell service provider offers and using my cell as a modem I connect to the net through my laptop ). Due to this procedure I get a speed of only 115.2 Kbps.

My question to all the people who use similar methods (or otherwise) to connect to the net is what is the speed you on? I feel that currently I am on the slowest connection in this forum. So anyone with a slower connection??

.....I guess. But thinking of Japan's internet makes me want MORE. Heck, they pay $55 for over 108 Mbps internet. But, I shouldn't be selfish. I would cry with that internet. Oh, the BitTorrent.

I don't even get to use all of that download speed. My average download speed is 150kb/s. D:

We already had a thread like this where I posted mine but anyway, here's mine. I think I officially win.


*shock* It's actually higher than it was last time. My average download speed is around 60kb/s.

Yup. And my mom refuses to buy a new modem. The one we have is from 2000. So I either, A: have to buy one for Christmas, or B: Wait until I move out in 5 years to get a new one.

EDIT: @Eon-Rider: Crap....60kb/s O_O

woot i think i will win hands down then coz when i said connection speed i didn't mean download speeds, my connection speed alone is slower than the download speeds of all you guys who's posted

lol... Btw @Revolutionize ya there is faster connections available however I'm unable to get the right package atm..I think the fastest connection available in India is 3Mbps (this is not the download speed mind you)..

My fastest download speed with a download accelerator is 13Kbps

...I wanted to put the pics with the download speeds and upload speeds but sadly the page hasn't even loaded yet *sigh I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to put that)

I would get one for Christmas. Personally, three months with that and I would die of low internet speed.

Got 3.6mbps here in the UK (wireless dongle, actual download speeds max out at 150kbs)

In Sweden where I usually live I have 10mbs, though have the option to upgrade to 100 or even 1000! To be honest, 10 is plenty for me.

  • handy333 @ handy333:
    Is there any toxicity with the plastics
    I should keep in mind?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @handy333, If you have any Microcenter stores near you, goto 1 and they have a bunch of diff 3d printers on display and some will be printing even. But don't buy from there, order it online, will be cheaper.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    PLA, PETG and TPU all seem pretty non toxic and honestly you can skip ABS in favor of PETG
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    I'd have to check if there's one in H
    ouston.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    ABS plastic only one of real concern, but don't need to use that normally.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    ABS Is the big one of the common filaments that makes potentially toxic fumes (the others are less common exotic filaments that you're not likely to ever encounter)

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    nylon might not be great either, but it's not a common filament and you need a bit of a fancier 3d printer to print it properly
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    I'll keep that in mind.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    anyway, if you can wait until black friday, keep an eye out then, i saw some nice deals last time
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    PLA is the most common and cheapest, and I'd recommend that to start with as a beginner if you jump into our rabbit hole.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think you can get one of the 3d printers that run klipper for closer to $100 during black friday and that will be far more of a plug & play solution cause it has a lot of intelligent features that take away a lot of guesswork and tuning to get things printing well
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they're $150+ right now
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    I'll try to hold out until black friday. I was going to try to get a steam deck but honestly, I don't think I'd use it that much.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    klipper is what all of the more premium consumer 3d printers (except bambu) run as well, they just add some extra features like built in camera with "AI"
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    being able to get that for cheap is a really good thing for people just getting into the hobby
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    Nice, Sounds like a road trip this weekend, or the next.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't believe you've never been, its like candy store for me. They sell electronic components and SBC stuff now also. (Rasp Pi/ Arduino).
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they might be a bit more than i remembered, i think they went up in price since last i checked
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    still, seen some models cut in price by half during black friday
  • handy333 @ handy333:
    I don't get out much. just work and home. I used to love going to places like that.

    microcenter seems neat, they have a good selection of PC parts

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I have a love/ hate relationship with them, I have one five minutes from me, ill go for 1 thing and leave with 5.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we don't really get physical stores that sell PC parts here apart from some specific things but never enough to build a PC with

    sounds like ikea :P
