How do you balance reliance on prediction apps with knowing they are not 100% accurate?
I find myself in a bit of a quandary with certain prediction apps. On one hand, the idea of having some insight or even a slight advantage is very appealing. On the other hand, I know deep down that nothing is truly 100% accurate, especially when dealing with variables or chance. So, for those of you who use such tools, how do you manage that balance? How do you accept the guidance from these apps without becoming overly reliant on them, knowing they aren't infallible? It's a tricky line to walk.

I learned the hard way that you absolutely need to check wall thickness and orientation before uploading anything, because even a perfect model can fail if a thin part points straight down. A few months ago I grabbed the Megalon Kaiju model from https://www.gambody.com/premium/megalon-kaiju and before sending it off, I ran it through a quick mesh repair tool, made sure all normals faced outward, and added manual supports in the slicer for those long claw overhangs. That single habit saved me from wasted resin and a pile of spaghetti failures—also double-check that your STL is in millimeters, since some services default to meters and suddenly your monster is the size of a grain of rice.
