    Question Is FLASHFORGE Adventurer 5M 3D Printer Good?

    We’re getting a printer this weekend and are down to deciding between a Bambu A1 Mini or a Tina 2DS (https://a.co/d/1aY3Xjd). Seems a lot of folks recommend the Bambu and it’s a table moving type. Looks like we could add multiple colors later (ams lite)and can print bigger things? The Tina...

    Question SSD for Lenovo Laptop

    Thanks! I wonder if it’s worth getting the 990 PRO model? Seems faster but I am not sure I’d gain anything over the 990 EVO. Also thinking the PRO may run hotter? I was also going to add memory. Do you know if Crucial or a similar brand is ok or should I use Lenovo? And thanks for your...

    I want to upgrade my Lenovo 20s6 001sus. It currently has a 256Gb 2TB M.2 2280 SSD in it. I want to get a 2tb and think Samsung EVO or PRO 990 look good. What would you suggest for this machine? I use it as a work machine and have Database & CAD apps.
