Google Pixel Fold is the name of the first one, Then Fold 2. Then I think they synced it up with the Pixel, so, like Google Pixel 10 Fold.

I would NOT get a resin printer.

Bambu Lab is having a pretty killer sale right now. You can get the P1S for $399 or the A1 for $279.

That may have been me, and I meant literally felt premium in the hand, but i understand that is totally subjective.

i think they are probably pretty even minus any exclusive games they may want to play. something to consider is if they have friends with consoles and what consoles they have. If thats a factor, would lean towards however that skews since it will probably make it easier for them to play with their friends..

In the fall/winter (now) you can catch them up in Prien Lake. There is a nice launch there for a yak

Scrolling social media and posting selfies requires cutting edge tech. I read Apple is expecting a 25% boost in feed scrolling and selfie posting with their next gen SoC.

Yeah that toy box looks like a pretty terrible deal. $11 for a 1/2 lb proprietary roll of PLA is a major rip when the rest of the 3D printing world is paying like ~$15 for 2.2lbs of PLA. And you have to pay for the models?

Bambu A1 + MakerWorld free models + ~$15 for 2.2lbs PLA

I had to do something similar about 10 yrs ago to run a program to control my CNC mill bc it only ran on XP. I skipped the VM and just brought an old desktop out of retirement.

I'd probably go P1S if you can swing it. I think for functional parts where you are going to want to be using PETG/ASA/ABS you will get better results with the enclosure of the P1S. Core XY printers I think are also faster, more rigid and have less vibration. From what I have seen on FB marketplace the Bambu printers seem to hold their value well, so, with either model, theres that if you end up not liking it.

I have a good bit of CAD experience, but not with the standard modeling software that the 3d printers use.

The slicing is not a steep learning curve, if that is what you mean. Bambu has it dialed in pretty good out of the box. If you have 3D modeling CAD experience, that carries over directly. You can model in whatever software you are already comfortable with. Then you slice that model in the Bambu slicer and hit print.

You just need to know what you want to run. Look on the device for peak and running power. Add it all up and make sure to get one that can provide max watts and have the capacity you need. Maybe add in a 20-30% buffer over the required amount. Ex. You want to run your 100W TV for 5hrs you would need a capacity of 500Wh or ~40Ah. If you also have a smoker that has a startup draw of 300W you want to make sure you can handle that short surge as well.
