Time to retire the Franken-Ender3v2…
I haven’t been printing much, but when I do I want something that will ‘just work’ (moreso anyway)
About to pull the trigger on a Bambu P1P (no AMS). Anything else I should order with it?
Any reasons I should consider the X1?
Most of my printing will be single color, PLA/PETG, mostly small functional type things.
Thank you in advance!
I’ve been looking at the Sovol SV08, but I’m not a big fan of the Bambu ecosystem.
I kinda want to buy a Kingroon KP3S Pro V2 as well, there’s no such thing as too many 3D printers.
That a big turn off for me (required ecosystem/cloud crap), that’s why I stayed away from them …
Can it run without internet access?
I’m nearly pretty sure you can,
There is a LAN only mode
Idk maybe I’m dumb maybe I’m just burned out
I just don’t care anymore
There’s so many other devices on my network its not like controllable at this point… only way I could be truely secure would be to unplug my modem… and that’s just the price I guess I pay for what comes with the internet 
Personal network is very different than work network with DOD stuffs
If your open source or death, I guess it’s not your thing… but it makes Some sense…
Full open source allows competition to steal and race your margins to zero
Being a bit closed source allows you to protect protect your margins and IP, which means you don’t have to start cutting corners and can continue to develop and * attempt* to have good support
You can definitely print off of an SD. Fairly sure you could go lan only.
You could always connect it to a guest network to isolate it.
I want to say that I’m a huge fan of open source. I run linux at home and at work. I have graphineos on my phone. I self host several open source services. I also have been working off and on with 3D printers at work over the last decade, both consumer and industrial.
At my current job we have 6 Bambu X1 carbons. I also personally own one. They are terrific machines. The best I’ve used. Their speed and reliability are amazing. The most I’ve had to fiddle with them is when we just got them at work, one needed a new wifi antenna. They just pump out some of the most consistently good prints I’ve seen.
If you can accept their eco-system it’s worth it imo. It’s just so easy. I say this being way more security, privacy, and FOSS conscious than a vast majority of people.
And for full disclosure, I have somehow never had the opportunity to work with a prusa. Additionally, my workplace had issues with the X1 carbon hot ends failing while printing glass-filled nylon. If I recall correctly, a weird combination of the filament being super difficult to print with, and what we were printing caused the hot end to ram into the print as it de-laminated. The replacement nozzles are insanely difficult to replace due to the thin thermister wires, we ended up replacing the whole hot end assembly. It was ~$30-$35 from Bambu and was only three bolts and three connectors to swap. Took 2 minutes. Even through all that, it was great to work with. Easy to fix and I found all the replacement parts easy to source and for a reasonable price.
Had to print out a thing today…
Little white collar for a new faucet to cover up nasty chewed up aluminum siding.
Flipped on the carbon and laptop with slicer and couldn’t print… said needed a firmware update. Refused to print. Fucking bullshit… waited 25 mins for firmware update… then finally printed.
I literally just had to install one of those anti frost shark bite guys today else I was too be fined by my city. Irritating…
Yeaaaa mine did that last night…
I had been holding off updating because the next update prevented you from installing the xplus software
Not letting me print till I update rubbed me the wrong way…
On the one hand, I get pushing updates to secure stuff and keeps what your support staff has to deal will a more limited scope… but that was a little too close to a lock out
What city is that? Islamabad? Shanghai? Pyongyang?
Need to start posting things as I make them, but I often hate the write ups,
Inspectors use stamps at work… my stamp lost its cap years ago… so I made a case for it… quickly all other inspectors wanted one
Coworker loves prince… so I make his purple and gold… and then I challenged myself to do it even better and did the logo
Coworker, had a pool filter cap tool that he needed, so I made a thing, designed it with the intent to be able
To tap on the flats with a small hammer to snug or loosen it
Coworker is trying to get into 3d printing, but isn’t great at it… he kept having his dry box rollers unspool his other spool that wasn’t in use,
Whipped up a little divider using some interesting tricks to measure since getting a tool in there wasn’t gunna work
Well picture uploading doesn’t wanna work soooo I’ll
Upload later I guess
Can cannon pic band and quadrant style red dot
Well Hello there fellow pew enthusist…
My Mother redid an old farmhouse with metal kitchen cabinets from the 1950’s. Then all the plastic inserts behind the drawer handles broke from age / brittleness. She’s grumped about it for years.
Guess who’s angling for favorite son status?
I had to print this and trim some plastic off the bondtech clone that’s on my printer:

I’m now getting a maximum flow rate of 18mm^3/s out of my genuine CHT nozzle when printing black PLA. ABS and ASA flow even better but I prefer to print a bit slower than that for layer adhesion reasons.
Either way, mom will be over the moon to have working drawers again. Bonus points for a ninja installation, measure, order, replace, all without her knowing and then BAM! Working drawers, sweet
I need to do the math for a spell caster in the party so they have only 1 number wheel per divider for spell slots
I’ve tinkered with this design for a while and I used to color fill using a complicated technique that was very hit or miss… multi color printing ftw
@Backpackingvet may notice something in the picture he got me
Designed a new holder for fog of war tiles for DND I designed a while back
I also printed a new set using color per tile size… makes it kind of easier to be told what tile to remove from map
This is a bad ass design. these look great.
and im over here licking windows patting myself on the back because i made a label dispenser… And i didnt even make it, i remixed a little one to accept 4" wide ones.
