  • Regarding backpacking: I experienced the ultralight community to be a very friendly and welcoming (although a bit nerdy) group of people. Yes, you CAN spend a lot of money on hightech equipment like many people do in cycling, archery etc. but it is also very common to MYOG (make your own gear). You can spend 200 bucks on the latest leightweight highend titanium cook pot. Or you can simply reuse an old fish can to cook in. And while this selfmade gear sometimes looks a bit clumsy, it often beats the hightech stuff. And the lightest gear sets I’ve seen were mostly self-made.


  • Really? I bought an Ender 3 V2 three years ago which is quite famous in the ‘scene’ but also famous for a number of issues. As a newbie I asked a lot of beginner questions and I constantly received very supportive and helpful answers.

    ‘Yeah that’s a known issue but you can tweak X, change setting Y or replace part Z to work around it’

    Same experience with the FreeCAD community. Amazing people and a software that works pretty well with some initial exercise.
