  • Congrats - it sure is a milestone…

    I was diagnosed at 44yo, finally got to a psychiatrist who said to me: you’re doing every single life hack/strategy we could possibly ask an ADHD sufferer to be doing to manage their symptoms… Did you want to try some medication?

    I was like: “so that means, yes, I DO have ADHD?”

    He just smiled and said: “yes, absolutely!”

    I was so relieved to finally have some kind of answer I broke down on the spot, and had to defer the meds conversation till the next months appt as it was all too much at that point.

    I’m 8-9 months in, and wish I’d been diagnosed 35 years ago!

    My journey wasn’t anything like yours, it only took 12 months once I decided to pursue it, but even I had to laugh when my GP gave me a list of a dozen psychiatrists and told me to call each one to see if they were taking referrals…

    I looked at him and said: you’re giving me a list of 12 things to do with no deadline so I can get diagnosed with ADHD… Isn’t this a terrible idea?!







  • Mk4s owner here and I’m super unhappy with the output of my factory assembled mk4s, due to a consistent first layer problem. The mk4s is related to the core 1 as far as I know as the “next gen”.

    Prusa seems to be aware of the issue, but I feel they are still messing around greatly with any kind of actual solution to the problem, that actually led me to pulling the pin on any work purchases from Prusa at all.

    I actually got sent a second factory assembled mk4s as a “make good”, and the new unit had the exact same problem, right out of the box…

    If I had my time again, I wish I’d have gone the Voron in some kind of pre-packed kit form…
