Something is completely off. About 200h in. Printer started printing in the air after a filament auto swap. After that did a new print without issues. Now next 2 prints first layers failed.
Did a layer test and this comes out. Recalibrated. The same issue.
The filament is new and dry. The bed was cleaned with soap under water.
There is something going on and have no clue what to do.
I was running a print with a backup spool loaded and ready to go. When the active spool ran out, the filament backup system failed to kick in.
Instead of pausing or triggering the auto-switch, the printer kept right on going and is now printing in mid-air.
Has anyone experienced this with an Anycubic printer?
If the backup spool was loaded, why would the runout sensor fail to detect that the first roll was completely finished? Is there a setting I have missed?
Can the print be saved or should I reprint? Shouldn't the AI camera system detect this as an error as well?
Including: Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, and more. Here mainly movies, another one with more geralistic movies and more TV series. And for sure some decoration 😉
The illusion of digital ownership is dead.
Sony's push toward an all-digital ecosystem isn't just about convenience anymore. It's fundamentally changing what it means to buy a game. Over the past few years we've seen legacy storefronts shut down, physical media become less important, subscription prices rise, and digital purchases treated more like temporary licenses than permanent ownership.
Here are the biggest issues I see:
Without discs, the used game market disappears. No more borrowing, trading, or buying second-hand copies. Competition between retailers vanishes, leaving Sony's digital storefront as the primary place to buy games. That gives them much greater control over pricing.
Online multiplayer, cloud saves, and other features are increasingly tied to a subscription that's gone up in price while many users feel the value hasn't increased proportionally. It starts feeling less like an optional service and more like a recurring fee just to keep using features tied to games you've already purchased.
When you buy digitally, you're purchasing a license, not a physical copy. Sony says downloads will remain available for "the foreseeable future," but that isn't a permanent guarantee. Eventually, servers will be retired, licenses may expire, and access could disappear.
If future PlayStation hardware drops disc drives entirely, physical collections become much harder—or impossible—to use on new systems. That increases the likelihood of players being encouraged to repurchase games digitally through remasters or re-releases.
I'm not against digital games. They're convenient.
What concerns me is the industry moving toward a model where consumers have fewer rights, fewer choices, and less control over the products they pay for. Digital should be an option—not the only option.
If buying isn't owning, what are we actually paying for?

As an early adopter, fan and collector this draws the line for me. PS6 no thank you! They took our movies, they can take our games. Trust is broken.
I was trying to connect the 8bitdo Pro 3 with the Analogue 3D, but even with the newest firmware on both devices (2.0 for the Pro 3 and 1.3 on A3D) they do not connect either via S,D or X mode. What to do?
