At least your printer works. My first task with my Phrozen printer was to buy an 'upgrade' kit which fixed a basic design flaw with the machine that should have been repaired for free by the manufacturer.

But then we get this: (see image). So, they are compensating artists, but they can't figure out who got scraped for what so good luck with that?

If Trump suddenly decides that the Moon is "Woke" or some such garbage. Build it anyway, upgrade the habs and engines and fly it out to Ceres or Phobos.

Thank you! I love the facial expressions. The dude on the side looks properly haunted and the woman is completely haughty and disdainful.
