I thought so but no. Had to take the door off because the cat refused to go into it. The smells was allready traveling around. If it doesn't work I'll just plumb it out the window

Print In Place uni joints, from memory these are down to .010 clearance now to minimise slop. I print batches of 20 at a time and give them away to my regular customers. The actual giveaway ones are silver and have my business name/address/phone number embossed down the side. Customers love them! Better than pens or can coolers IMO.
They take ~35 mins and 11g of filament each so the cost is **** all. There's a tiny bit of support to remove from inside the yokes but it gets picked out in a few seconds with some practice.

Wow, creality is honoring my 2 year warranty after a couple hours of arguing back and forth and fighting through their garbage chat system. It was awesome. 8th in line, gotta refresh the chat after 10 minutes because it'll remove you without activity. Then refreshing the chat kicks you out of the line anyways. **********er.
They really wanted me to prove I had it. The only thing I had left was their own invoice that only had it in the subject "blah blah blah (free 2 year warranty included!)", but no actual mentions on the invoice besides that.

God damn it. Bambu is pissing me off. Can't switch filaments when one runs out if it's a different one. Started a 8.5 hour print yesterday, ran out and couldn't finish it.
Started again today with a fresh spool. And this. I thought it was supposed to stop when it spaghettied.

I have found the auto refill thing super convenient and makes using up 100% of a spool way easier.
I wonder if you could just tell it that it's the same brand, type, and color, or if it requires the RFID?
Do you have a P series or X series? my P1S does not have the lidar or spaghetti detection. I just check the camera every now and then.

I gotta build a little rig to test the torque capacity... Have an in/lb wrench from setting up diff gears I could use.
Taking bets!

Suggestions on cheap computer to get for a printer? I’ve got a few old laptops but they are ancient and slow as **** loading anything.

You don't need much horse power for a slicer. Are you wanting something for running deign software too?
Orca's minimum requirements are an "i3 or similar," they don't get more specific than that, and 4 Gb of Ram. There are Linux versions of Orca too. Maybe stick a light weight Linux distro on the least objectionable old laptop.

the AMS needs to think its got the same filament in 2 slots to auto-switch. I just temporarily make the slot thats' going to run out the same as one of the other slots even if its actually a different color. use the low-spool slot first, it auto-changes to the other one
i've got a couple multicolored gridfininty bins from this. works fine. I'm not using spools with the embedded chips so I can just trick it this way

Any fairly recent computer will get it done. My main computer is an i7-7700, and my laptop is older than that. The only issues I have had was trying to slice a very large part, I didn't realize Linux won't dynamically allocate vram, and it was running out of memory because my vram file wasn't enough. 8GB of machine ram too. Once I fixed that it runs fine. I don't think you'd have that problem on windows.

I do the same thing. Unfortunately my P1S/AMS defaults to the spool on the left first, even when I spec 2 spools as the same. If the partial spool isn’t in a lower numbered slot, I just end up with 2 partial spools

huh. now i'm wondering if mine does that too or if I've just gotten lucky and had it configured the same way every timeI do the same thing.

Specifying the filament to a partial roll in slot 3 with a full one in slot 2 bones me. It’s happened twice so I just load them in order.
It’s nice to use the dregs for things that don’t matter.
Here’s a little update on the qidi plus 4 I bought about a month ago. I have it printing files if I get them from maker world for some reason thingiverse was not transferring to the Qidi studio the Qidi slicer was not accepting anything per Qidi I should have been using studio this two a few emails to get that information.
They also sent another email later about the error 401 and 404 saying the fluids account was created directly on the printer screen which is what I had done because lack of instructions in the box.
The emails back and forth for customer support is balls imo it does print well from what my neighbor and co- worker said from what I’ve shown them and only one miss print so far. The kid is happy it’s working and we printed a few things last weekend also make the wife a few chip clips.
I’m going to give freecad a try on making some small interior parts for my blazer this weekend wish me luck .

I don't know your CAD level experience but this guy did a training series on using freeCAD for 3d printing.
I found it very helpful coming from a bit of autocad 20 years ago and only using some sketchup since then.

yeah you gotta have a swap partition on the drive
partitioning is just kinda strange along with everything else
switching over hasn't been terrible though, 10+ years in and I still ain't down with the hip lingo, gotta google everything which kinda sucks when you need a ctrl+alt+backspace but don't remember it

I ***led this file "Bird Poop Preventer."
Tired of the birds clogging up our rain gauges, this is version 3.0 or there about. First version was a plywood circle with the same spike strips screwed to it. That first version was mounted to the post that the rain gauge was on and made servicing the rain gauge a little more difficult. This one being attached to the rain gauge should make servicing simpler. Two thumb screws, and about an eighth of a turn of the cylinder, removes the entire cylinder, and the spike strips come off with it.
Creality PETG, some McMaster Carr hardware; stainless self tappers, 10-24 thumb screw, and and hot melt threaded insert. The bird spikes are some random Amazon offering.

I also love that ****. I used to end up with a bunch of spools that had 100g of plastic on them because WTF am I gonna do with it.
the carbon just switches to another of the same type. if I want to use different colors because scrap, I just tell it that they're all black.
the RFID thing sounds neat until you want it to just do what you want it to do.
sometimes **** is too smart.
$300 ebay corporate lease turn in laptop, put your favorite linux flavor on it.
I like arch, but use mint daily, because even though debian sucks, it's the one that has all the packages and I'm not compiling **** for a daily OS. It's still a billion times better than windows.

Freecad 1.1 has been a huge upgrade, it's fixed a couple things I was struggling with.
I haven't tried it again, but years ago I did and thats why I ended up with a fusion hobbyist account.
I did download it, but I haven't messed with it.
but I would really like a linux cad program that didn't suck.
I hate booting to windows.
with a ****ing passion.
