Huh.. Being rural I have designed many things, printed them on one of my printers, and then put it in use. Even outside in Oklahoma summers and winters. Recently even one of my designs failed, after being in use for 2 years, and I just printed it again in 30 minutes and the issue was resolved. Even sliced it differently for some added strength as I have learned so much more in those 2 years. And most of my printers, are Ender 3 printers in various states of modification. Recently got into resin printing as well, which opens up some more options. But, like almost any DIY manufacturing at home, it does take actually learning some skill and how to overcome flaws in the gear you start with. Oh, and of course you see so many posts from people who are having issues.. As with anything, you will see more traffic of the bad than the good. No need to post every good print to the groups.

Comment For some it's not just a game console. (Score 2) 222

I use the Kinect rather heavily. As I use my XBox One as a media center more than a game system, the Kinect plays a large role in my usage. I like not needing to find a remote control to do anything with my setup. Also, with Skype I am able to see my grand children, as they have an XBox One as well. The ease of use is such that even my wife, who is not a geek, is able to utilize the system. Now, could they have sold it as an add-on, or as a bundle option. Yup.

Heartless Gamer writes "MMORPGs and game addiction. If you're suffering from dry eyes, headaches, back aches, erratic sleep patterns, it may be more than just your average hangover: according to Dr. Maressa Orzack, you could be suffering from video and computer game addiction. A clinical psychologist, Orzack is founder and coordinator of Computer Addiction Services at McLean Hospital in Newton, Mass., and is also an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. Computer Addiction Services is one of the few outpatient clinics in the U.S. that provides specific treatment for game addiction." but I'm feelings much better now.
