Canon imageCLASS MF8080Cw Color Laser Multifunction Printer (5119B001) Review

This all-in-one is a respectable product. Since I can't really find any other reviews on this model I thought I would be as in depth as possible. I bought it for my home office with two desktops and one laptop computer. I did not have any problems installing the software or setting it up. I downloaded the most updated software directly from Canon's website (which I recommend) rather than installing it from the CD. Setup was easy. Follow the unpacking instructions EXACTLY as it is printed, as there are pieces of tape you might otherwise miss. It is about as large as I expected but not overly cumbersome to move with one person, even though two are recommended. The paper tray is wimpy but holds an amount of paper comparable to an ink jet printer.

This type of Canon all-in-one has an annoying "Adjusting" feature which starts after a seemingly random number of pages printed or copied. During the adjustment you can start jobs but they will not process until the adjustment is complete. About a minute and a half or so. I noticed this in reviews for other similar Canon models. Speed is as expected if you read the specs. Plenty fast but nothing to brag about. The auto sheet feeder works, though everything scanned is slightly cockeyed, but not enough to be a deal breaker for me. Regular computer prints come out straight. The USB port on the front is handy. You can scan directly to a USB flash drive or print from one. The oddity - you can scan TO a PDF, JPEG or TIFF file, directly onto your flash drive. But the only files you can print via flash drive are JPEG files -- no PDF's. (Um, ok???)

Cartridges are expensive just as they are for similar products of any brand. Comes with starter cartridges (less toner than regular ones). I have printed 9 color pages (which came out AWESOME) and even though the color pages were not printed as recently as the b/w, and none were overly heavy on yellow, the yellow cartridge is now reporting low. All of our settings default to B/W printing so I am not sure how after 9 pages this thing could possibly be low.

The Scan-to-PC buttons are helpful. Place your documents, press the button (once set up--easy), start the scan and when you get to your computer, the box will have popped up and be waiting for you to complete the job. I haven't used the fax. Loudness is as expected for a laser printer, not overly quiet but not horribly loud. Energy save comes on after awhile not using the button functions, but it does still print with energy save mode on. The Wi-Fi works great and was easy to set up, I have not used the Ethernet port or USB but assume it would be just as easy.

Overall I am satisfied with this unit. It seems to be as solidly built as other comparable units. The only thing I wish it had was 2-sided scan and print, but for the price I still think it is a good buy.

LG Electronics EA53 24EA53V 24-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor Review

Gorgeous image quality on this, with no noticable light bleed, even on a black screen. Text is razor sharp, and the blacks are so deep that initially I thought something was wrong with the monitor...I was just used to my old monitor's washed-out color.

That said, there are a couple surprising missteps. The stand, from other site reviews, is awful. I bought this BECAUSE it has VESA mount capability though, and I use that with a stand that allows height, pivot and swivel options (look up Flex LCD Stand). The other mistake is the orientation of the inputs. If a monitor is as slim as this, the connectors shouldn't then negate that benefit for wall-mounters by making the inputs perpendicular to the screen. they should face down. The stand I use holds the screen JUST far enough away from itself that this isn't an issue for me, but this is NOT a wall-mountable monitor without specialized cables (although admittedly, cables with 90 degree bends in the heads aren't terribly expensive). Also, it doesn't come with a DVI or HDMI cable, but this shouldn't be a surprise; your tv didn't either.

For my needs, this monitor is fantastic. It runs games without ghosting, no dead/stuck pixels, and has uniform color top to bottom. I doubt it would hold up to Professional standards, but it's a decent monitor, if you replace the stand.

Cubify Cube 3D Printer 2nd Generation SILVER Review

I see there is a 5 star review out also...This isn't a criticism of that review but based on several printers that are comparable. First, I own a Cube (donated to local HS..see why in review), a Replicator 2 (home), and a Replicator 2X (work). I also have friends with everything from home built rep-raps (all flavors), a Rostock, and even a private Mojo.

PROS-
* small and compact
* very simple operation
* very simple software front end
* 3D systems is a major player in the 3D printer world
* available at many consumer outlets not just specialty stores
* support was very good
* 3D systems has an online design/download 'sandbox' up which is great for ready use items
* Cubify Invent ($49) is an outstanding CAD designed for 3D printers...much easier to use than full blown CAD programs.

CONS-
* supposed to be able to print ABS...does NOT do this well
* cartridge filament system while simple is VASTLY overpriced compared to rolled filament of most printers...like 400% markup
* no heated build tray
* simple front end is great for downloadable items from 3D systems but doesn't play well with outside CAD systems
* front end is simple but leaves out many required selections to make it simple which impacts any print you use
* slooooow
* only has medium quality capability
* glue based build plate
* build quality is very nice looking but mechanically has high failure rate

I purchased the V2.0 cube in January. I had actually thought I was getting a V1.0 (which has the heated build tray). The unit shipped quickly and was slickly packaged. The instructions were dead simple. It was ready to print out of the box. I set it up and had one of the demo parts (Rook) printing fairly quickly. For the next few days I downloaded and printed several demo parts...then the fun began. After less than 5 days of intermittent use the print head died. 3D systems was quick to diagnose but it still took a week to get a replacement print head. Since I have fairly good mechanical and electronics skill (I own a machine shop and I was a communications technician in the Navy) tearing the cube apart and installing the new print head was easy...but...since this is marketed for families with children and parents who are looking for a 'inkjet type' simple printer, I wondered how they would feel tearing into the guts of this printer. After 2 hours it was back up and running. I had about 7 or 8 solidworks (CAD) files from work. The Cubify Invent program opened some of them and the exported .stl files looked good when I loaded it with the provided "Cube Software", however printing was problematic with bad slicing and incorrect bridging. I would like to say that the Cubify Invent is a SOLID CAD system that was designed for 3D printers. It is easy to learn (lot's of online tutorials) and doesn't have needless commands that something like Solidworks or Autocad Invent has. Over the next two weeks I designed and loaded files from both Solidworks and Autocad Invent, of which, only about 20% would open or print correctly. Then...the print head died...again. This time they wanted me to send the entire printer back. They stated that shipping parts to the user was NOT the way support was supposed to work. (So I was correct when I thought about a soccer mom fixing a print head that reaches 500*F a little strange). So I sent it to Atlanta and waited 2 weeks for it to return. The reason for failure was listed as a dusty/dirty print head...since this is used in a regular office setting I assume they were talking about shavings from the plastic that came off from the drive gear as it pulled it into the printhead. This is understandable since the entire head is enclosed by a color matched cute cover. This second repair lasted another week and it again failed. Back it went to Atlanta. 7 weeks of ownership and it was broken for half of that time. BUT..it does have a warranty and support unlike 99% of the other printers out there. Since I had now burned through 2 cartridges of PLA printer filament, I opened the blue ABS I also had ordered. For the next few days I learned that without a enclosure or at least a heated build plate, ABS will not print very well. Even marble size pieces curled or cracked. PLA works well though. Compared to other similiarly priced printers this is not a good deal. You can get an Affina for about the same. It's a much flexible and can run PLA and ABS. You can also with inexpensive mods have it run Mylon. It also uses a front end that's more industry standard allowing you to effectively use .stl files from many sources. There's also Makerbot Replicator 1's that aren't much more and are dual extruders (print two different colors or materials), have larger build plates, and can print ABS very well. There are also several kits and built kits that are LESS and do more. Heck, Printbot jr. is basically same functionality for under $400 (and it uses inexpensive spooled filament).
Bottom line...unless you want a dead simple cartridge based 3D printer that you can download premade prints and costs a lot more than most comparable printers, keep looking. Once I experienced the limitations and failed print heads I decided maybe it wasn't right for me. After the 3rd repair I bought 3 extra PLA cartridges (@ $49 each) and donated it to the local high school. For teaching the absolute basics about 3D printers it's a great teaching tool.

Mad Catz R.A.T.9 Gaming Mouse for PC and Mac Review

While a being a geek at 50 with big and busted up hand, I needed a mouse that was comfortable, adjustable as well as programmable. In these areas, this mouse meets my expectations.

You can buy any part for the mouse, However... The bad new is, You cant purchase the damn batteries!
This mouse loves batteries and is the only small drawback of the actual product.

The big downfall is the companies shortsightedness of allowing consumers who paid a large amount of money for their product the option to purchase extra batteries!

If the batteries go bad and they will over time, They are forcing you spend all that hard earned cash to buy the complete mouse, Just to get the damn batteries!!

To the people who decided not to make the batteries available for purchase, I hope you are reading this and all the others people's reviews who are complaining about the same problem and make the batteries available for purchase.

Would I recommend this mouse to anyone.... SADLY NO! Not until extra batteries are made available.

This is a 5 star product but I'm only giving it 2 stars due to the inability to purchase spare batteries.

===========================================================================================
UPDATE!!!! 4/26/13

After submitting a support ticket at the manufactures website MADCATZ, I quickly received a reply assuring me that they DO SELL SPARE BATTERIES!

They asked me to post the manufactures website where they are sold.
[...]

If Amazon removes the link for any reason, GOOGLE, GAMESHARK R.A.T.9 Batterie SKU: RAT9BATTS/1120/1

Make sure that the URL is STORE.GAMESHARK DOT COM. There are unrelated websites that are selling these for $45.00+ the correct price is $19.99. Don't get ripped off!

The store currently shows being sold out, However they tell me they have them for warranty purposes and are working to resupply the store. So keep checking, they will be available soon.
They where also kind enough to ship me a spare set!

Now that's 5 STAR customer service!
