Finally got a website up and going for our newest line of hotends, The Pika hotends! Check out the newest, awesomest hotends for @BambulabGlobal X1/P1, @snapmaker U1, @QIDI_3dprinter Plus 4, and a generic Maker's Pika for @VoronDesign and the like
pikahotends.com!!!!!!
My favorite, a chargeback on an in-depth kit without contacting us *once*. Very Cool, Very Based. Thanks for stealing from us because you don't know how to assemble things
This week we're offering a " @snapmaker U1 Starter pack" where if you get a 4 pack of Hotends, you can get up to 8 additional two-step copper or hardened steel nozzles for free!
The Pika Hotend outflows the competition and supports abrasives too :)

It turns out, you *can* just do things!
According to the machine, it repeats to 1um on the switch (sofar) and works like a fuckin charm sensing all of my tools! Not bad for the $40 and a few hours I spent making/loading macros and wiring it up :D

Lifetime means you get to keep using the software you paid for forever, but expecting perpetual updates (AKA, someone working on it) for free forever is silly.
I get pissy about subscription softwares too (I used to hate @adskFusion because I couldn't just buy it) but sofar the rate of updates there has definitely justified subscription for it.
On the flipside, some subscriptions provide zero goddamn value and should be banished from existence. Let me buy and own my software, dammit.
I've gotten a handful of angry messages claiming I've changed path on Lifetime for HueForge.
HueForge has always shipped with this definition of Lifetime. Keep using it forever - it will never be cut off. But after a couple of year, maintenance updates will cost something. The only difference between this text and today is that I'm charging less for maintenance updates than I said I was going to. As usual, you never have to pay to keep using or redownloading your last version of HueForge and you can pay at any time and get all the updates up to that point.
This helps me continue to pour time and effort into HueForge development. Some VERY cool things are coming including 2 free plugins that you will not want to miss. Both of them I am promising will work under 0.9.4.x code - I will not actually cut off updates until the 0.9.5 release so everyone who has ever purchase HueForge will get to use them.
