Buying 3d printer a1 mini or a1 Bangalore

Hey everyone
I was thinking of buying an 3d printer in Bangalore

My use case - hobby

So I am a bit confused between
a1 mini - 20,500
a1 - 28,400

I’m feeling that as I’m already spending around 20k why not buy the bigger a1
Please let be know ur thoughts and opinions
Like the print quality etc

I am thinking to buy it from Robocraze as there is a wear house in Bangalore I will directly pick it up from there or should I just order it online and get it delivered to my home ?

Other online options that I’m considering are robu.in, hydro tech 3d

And let me know what are the good 3d filaments for starting 3d printing and cheap ones as I feel it will be needed for trial and errors

Need advice on pursuing a Master’s in the Netherlands (Computer Science)

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to pursue a Master’s in Computer Science (or a related field) in the Netherlands and wanted to get some advice from people who have studied or are working there.

A bit about me:
I graduated in 2026.
I’m currently working at a service-based company, but I’m not enjoying the kind of work I’m doing (mostly generic full-stack web and mobile development).

My goal is to use a master’s to transition into more core software engineering, systems, or R&D-oriented roles.

The universities I’m currently considering (mainly because they fit my budget) are:

University of Twente
University of Groningen
Radboud University
HAN University of Applied Sciences
Hanze University of Applied Sciences

I have a few questions:

  1. ⁠I’ve seen quite a few posts saying the job market is difficult, with some graduates not finding jobs even as their Orientation Year (Zoekjaar) visa is about to expire. If I work in India for 1–2 years before applying for my master’s, would that significantly improve my chances of getting a job after graduation?
  2. ⁠I know there’s a housing crisis, and I’m aware that finding accommodation can be challenging. Is it manageable if I start searching early?
  3. ⁠How difficult is it to find English-speaking IT jobs? I’ve heard that in Germany many software jobs don’t require German. Is the situation similar in the Netherlands, or is learning Dutch important for improving job prospects?
  4. ⁠From what I understand, the visa process is:
  5. ⁠Student visa
  6. ⁠Orientation Year (Zoekjaar)
  7. ⁠Highly Skilled Migrant (HSM) permit or EU Blue Card

Is this understanding correct? Also, how difficult is it to find an employer willing to sponsor an HSM permit? Does graduating from a more reputed Dutch university make a noticeable difference?

What is a realistic monthly living cost for a student (excluding tuition), including rent, food, transport, and other expenses?

Finally, I’d also love to hear about your overall experience:
How was your university?
How were the academics and workload?
Did the university help with internships or job opportunities?
Looking back, would you choose the same university again?

Please let me know if I have left out any other details

Thanks in advance for any advice!

received a email from TCS to fill application form after attending tcs nqt , need help with how to calculate cgpa

in the application form it is asking for cgpa in the academics section

what im confused is that i have cleared 2 backlogs and currently i have none

" The Marks/CGPA Obtained entered by you for each of the above mentioned academic qualifications has been secured in the first attempt.* yes/no "

how do i calculate cgpa according to this

  1. do i calculate cgpa with the original marks

  2. do i calculate the cgpa with the second attempt marks (which i passed)

i asked gpt it said

>

Since you had 2 backlogs, this statement is not literally true. The safest answer is "No".

so gpt is saying that i can use the second attempt marks ie pass attempt marks and check this as "no"

TCS nqt I messed up aptitude sections, but did the coding questions

As the title suggests I attended tcs nqt recently and messed up the aptitude sections (the mcq things), I didn’t mark any random answers thinking there was negative marking 😭

But I was able to solve the easy question fully, and the medium question passed the public test case

I got to know now that somehow u could see how many test cases passed, like 6/7 etc which I didn’t know in the exam for the coding questions

I have solved very less questions in the mcq’s part I guess

Should I have any hopes of getting called for any interviews?
