I'm seeing FLASHFORGE 3D Printer Adventurer 5M new for $200 after coupons. Would you recommend the A1 mini or the 5M?

I'm currently printing some accessories for my xreal glasses at my library on a MakerBot replicator mini, and just found out a1 mini is actually bigger than that one, so I don't think the size is a big deal for me right now.

I've been printing some accessories for my xreal glasses at my local library and some trinkets for my kid, but to be quite honest I don't have any specific things I need to print. I'm looking at functional prints to get an idea of what things I can print lol.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that one.

Thank you that's very useful

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered that refurbished printers are technically used ones with inspection. Is it that important to avoid used printers for a first printer? I had no idea.

How much would the size difference make me regret not getting a bigger one, and how soon would I reach that point?

Thanks for the advice. I do know that I am sort of the kind who picks the flavor of the month to get obsessed over, then throw it away for the next shiny thing, so I am a bit of both of your usecases.

Well, some people naturally have a flair in their writing style. * thinks back to the times when asterisk talk was cool * * sighs discretely to avoid attracting attention *

Should have also included an lmgtfy link of the query.

So that's what they mean when they say they were born in the wrong generation

I have a repository on github for a project that deals with importing/processing/sending reports to clients. There is now talk of creating a similar application for a different set of users, without the import part, but multiple send parts. The existing code base already has 90% of what the new application needs (and some extra that is not needed for this new project).

Should I fork the existing project and make the new project, or should I use the 'import project' function on github to create a new project based on the old project, or use the commandline to mirror the old project into a new project, or something else?

In future, there might be more projects that build on top of one of these projects with their own customizations, so I'm looking for a good approach that I can leverage again in future.

Please advise.
