Actually, lots of 3D printers have a box in which the process takes place, so the temperature stays relatively constant, both in time and through the piece being made.

I don't like the current proposition: you pay for seeing less ads, but there's no tier guaranteeing no ads. Even if they guarantee 99% less ads, I still wouldn't sign for it. Paying for seeing less ads does not change the inc

Yes, there are, and the industry players are pushing this as their main differentiator. However, for most projects I see, people don't care much. A better efficiency in a car is good, but a few microwatts can't compete with double

Congratulations for the Octopart team. However, as a user of both Altium and Octopart, this is worrisome. Altium has a bad history of licensing schemes, bad support and, most of all, old technologies. As a user, I understand a professional
