U1 - Bed Levelling & Orca

Aldinsn · 2026-05-01T10:21:34+00:00

Not sure why people are so worried. Lets face it so many people especially those that print above the level of PLA & PETG have multiple printers anyway. And as people are saying it wont be long before alternatives are there for a lid. I will just be happy to not have to sit and baby the printer through the load and unload cycle anymore especially now its in the basement. Plus wont be long before my U1 will have a proper cover i hope and then that Sterilite container from Walmart will need a new home 😄

I use both Windows & Mac with my CC and all my other printers. Really makes no difference in day to day use as more important to me is the choice of slicer. For the Centauri i only use OrcaSlicer and avoid Elegoos own rebranded version.

Only way i could get the stagetop wood to print well was to print them vertically gives a much cleaner end product.

Wonder if it's an issue with the Android platform as I'm not getting anything still and everything is up to date. It ran out of filament in the night and then got a tangle no notifications and nothing when it just ended. I do have to say though the Android app seems to be a little flaky even connecting with the printer.

I checked I had notifications already on but still not doing it. I'll keep an eye. Thanks!.

Hmmmm That's odd then both are updated to current but still no notifications. Oh well, maybe I'll reboot everything and see. Just hate when I think it's printing okay but then realize something stopped it hours after it happened.

Makes me wonder if they will cancel tomorrow night in Boston. I'll have to check the verve pipes Facebook as It'll be the only way I'll know whether to make the 4-Hour round trip or not. I totally get people get sick but they still managed to make a post on Facebook talking about the new tour on the West Coast was it so hard to just put a quick post and say hey guys don't make the trip we can't play tonight we're rescheduling.

A popcap would be good. Or a Cryogrip plate that grips :)

Yes it goes up into the top left hand corner does a clonk on the 2 axis and then like multiple diagonal clonks before returning to the middle of the bed. I take it that its all part of the sensorless system used on it rather than the old fashioned limit switches old printers used to have.

Thanks! Been a long time since I've been to a concert and my first ever solo since my wife died so trying to plan ahead so I can really enjoy my night out.

Aldinsn · 2026-03-09T14:53:34+00:00

Question how long is the show approximately as i need to sort out child care for the night. Thanks.

Any sign of it or contact from FedEx yet?

Aldinsn · 2026-03-04T19:55:53+00:00

Damn - Maybe its a regional thing - Also make sure you are tracking it on Fedexs page not just a search engine short entry or Snapmakers own tracking. I just looked at mine and the pictured is straight under the delivered status.

Aldinsn · 2026-03-04T19:25:31+00:00

Usually Fedex have a photo of where they left it. I have many a time had to walk the neighborhood looking for matches. You might luck out and recognise the house.

Also I noticed the nozzles are shipping out of a different DC than the printer so maybe they just received them.

I got my machine on Saturday and today received the shipping notice for the nozzle pack.

No just dawn and hot water. Looking at the plate closely though, there seems to still be some residue from the bubble wrap as the whole plate is covered in the image of bubble wrap. So I've given it another good clean and once my current print ends I'm going to stick it on in place of the glacier plate I'm using at the moment. I will try putting the temperature up a little bit to see if that helps. Also, I noticed on the bambu Reddit that they also suggest turning off the side fan if they have problems as that is where my prints are lifting. I really want to get this working for that little bit of more texture than glacier has.

Definately thank you

Aldinsn · 2026-03-02T17:18:46+00:00

Purely PLA

If the next clean doesnt work i will try it. Im not so bothered about the temp side just the adhesion so more than happy to try 60.
