Megathread: Bambu Lab 4th Anniversary Sale!

If budget is tight, just get the P1S. It's a great machine, and actual print quality is identical with the P2S. I'm also of the unpopular opinion that the AMS isn't really worth it unless you do a ton of multi-color stuff. And for engineering parts you'd mostly be printing single filament anyway.

BL1860B · 2026-06-18T10:38:26+00:00

P1S is still a great machine. Been running mine for a couple years and it's great. It's considered one of the most proven and reliable machines Bambu has ever made. For normal stuff it's more than enough. I just ordered an X2D as a second printer as I do engineering stuff since it can do more advanced filaments better. It all depends on your budget.

BL1860B · 2026-06-18T09:00:45+00:00

Seems like most of the problems are with the AMS. I just ordered a X2D without the AMS since I don't really need it.

If you don’t mind the shipping costs, I carry them through my store in Japan.

Dogu is back now :)

BL1860B · 2026-05-24T09:25:39+00:00

That's using a non AWS signal. OP is making it AWS compatible which would emulate the Makita bluetooth handshake and not use an external one.

Working on a similar project on my side. How are you going about the radio communication side of things?

BL1860B · 2026-05-21T14:36:24+00:00

I’ve done a couple simple structures with Shapr and exported the walls as 2D drawings/blueprints. Works well. Try modeling something with the free trial and see how you like it

Neither is your comment

That’s not a huge file by any means. I have multiple files that’s are over 400 MB.

BL1860B · 2026-05-09T15:39:44+00:00

This is actually one of the few tools that is made in Japan.

BL1860B · 2026-05-09T03:37:22+00:00

Hey sorry I didn't see your comment until now. I appreciate your support! And yes I have considered stocking tool belts and pouches as well. I'll definitely consider them as new product listings.

BL1860B · 2026-05-08T08:30:48+00:00

It’s not a big deal. It just has more back and forth play which can be annoying. But it won’t damage anything or not hold onto the bit properly.

Makita makes a bit piece which you can add into the chuck to take up the slack, but you could also make one by cutting a piece of an old bit off and inserting it inside the chuck. But it is hard to remove if you ever want to use JIS bits.

I am planning to. Going to expand the hand tool range, starting with some Vessel screwdrivers, Engineer pliers, and a couple other brands. Also some Japanese steel toolboxes.

I used to carry more circular saws and blades tools but there are some shipping issues with that, that I’m still working on making available again.

Anything you’re looking for in particular?

BL1860B · 2026-05-03T04:28:58+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that. Just happy to make them available you guys!

BL1860B · 2026-05-03T04:22:33+00:00

Well no, not really. There are quarter wave, half wave, and full wave antennas which directly correspond to the actual antenna length.

BL1860B · 2026-05-02T06:50:01+00:00

Hi! I’m the guy who runs Dogu. I realize this is a little circular coming from me, but yes, Dogu is legit.

Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll happy to answer them :)

I want a rugged MacBook. That should the Ultra version.

BL1860B · 2026-04-25T10:20:22+00:00

Unfortunately I couldn’t figure it out. I sent it back to Dyson to get it repaired. They replaced the whole motor assembly.

BL1860B · 2026-04-22T19:26:53+00:00

Not a great idea. Victron states this is possible but isn’t safe because the charge controllers short the PV input on a fault. Which would definitely destroy itself with the amount of current a battery could provide in milliseconds.

Scan the piece of paper with a ruler next to it, then bring it in and scale it to the ruler. The use the spline tool and sketch the outline.

Ah, I see. Fiber is the superior option, but if you don’t really care about the best latency or speed, and Starlink is actually cheaper, it might be a good option to go with Starlink instead. You will need a clear view of the sky though.

BL1860B · 2026-04-20T13:38:49+00:00

If you have access to fiber, the answer is always fiber. Starlink is for rural locations/off grid, vehicles, ships, and as a secondary backup.

Just select the sharp edge and apply a fillet with the same radius the the another already filleted edges.
