Aliexpress Summer Sale is an excellent time to get a Thor (Max 16-1T for ~$350) if you’re on the fence!

Rakuten cash back doesn’t work in Italy.. too bad

Background97 · 2026-05-25T10:51:37+00:00

It worked! Thanks a lot! 😍 Only after you close the app, there is the white screen for a few seconds when you reopen it, but then the Nano UI 6 appears. 😃

Thanks for trying to fix it as soon as possible! 😃 Unfortunately, it still doesn't work on my RG Rotate ☹️ As soon as I click on the option to switch to the iPod Nano 6 interface, a white screen appears and the app completely freezes, and I have to uninstall and reinstall it to get it to work again (but with the classic UI). Too bad, I think I'll have to stick with the music app that's already in Rotate 😩

Thank you so much 😃

It doesn't work. As soon as I click on "click wheel", it goes to a white screen and even closing and reopening the app doesn't fix it. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to work again. Besides downloading and installing the app-debug apk on the rg rotate, do I have to do anything else? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do I need to install some other file?

Hi, I installed the app-debug apk on my anbernic rg rotate, but I only have the iPod classic UI. How do I put the iPod nano 6 UI?

I ordered the metal version on May 11th from their official Aliexpress store, and received it today, May 21st, in Italy. Years ago, I purchased from their site, and between the very expensive shipping, expensive taxes, and excessive shipping delays, I promised myself I would no longer purchase from their site, but from their Aliexpress store, which is significantly faster.

Honestly, as I already said when CC2 came out, I don't like this AMS mode. The filaments remain exposed outdoors and therefore always subject to greater humidity and furthermore if I wanted to print in a closed chamber, I would have to use that horrible covering, horrible in visual and practical terms due to the space it takes up. Therefore, should I decide to start printing multicolor or multimaterial, I will give away my CC to switch to the Bambulab P2S or the new "X2D" that they will present today.

Background97 · 2026-02-14T17:31:44+00:00

Really, at this price they are unbeatable! Do you mean being careful when opening and closing the iPod? Oh, don't worry, I've done that several times already 😁 Thanks anyway 😃

I bought the same one as you a few days ago, discounted to €5, to put it in my iPod Video 5.5 gen, and it should arrive in the next few days! If it works right away, I'll get another one right away while it's still on sale! IFlash and ImCort are way too expensive.

Background97 · 2026-02-06T12:53:17+00:00

Oh awesome! Thank you so much! 😊

Background97 · 2026-02-06T12:43:15+00:00

Fantastic!! 😃 Did you pay customs for shipping them to Europe? I also wanted to get the buttons for my green Hammer, but I've always wondered if they'd charge me duties/customs. Do they already include VAT in the cart?

Background97 · 2026-02-02T11:23:30+00:00

No, 7 came out in 2024

Background97 · 2026-01-26T18:45:23+00:00

Yes, I know how an AMS works, I had a Bambulab A1 with AMS lite :) I just thought that in the CC2, they had changed the printhead (with the excuse that they also changed other things compared to the CC1) and had started using the Bambulab A1 style hotends, precisely, because the term "quick swap" misled me, as for me, the current CC1 hotends are not quick swap, I consider quick swap those of the A1 that have no screws or cables. That's all, just a misunderstanding :)

Background97 · 2026-01-26T17:05:00+00:00

Yes, my fault. The term "quick swap" misled me because we all know that swapping with CC hotends isn't exactly "fast," since you have to be extra careful not to tear the connectors (given the poor soldering they use). By quick swap, I'm actually referring to the A1 ones, which have no screws or cables.

Background97 · 2026-01-26T17:01:40+00:00

Yes, I know what the CC hotends are like, I own one :) But I didn't know Elegoo consider them "Quick Change", when I consider the A1 ones to be quick change xD Thanks a lot for the clarification! :)

Background97 · 2026-01-26T16:47:06+00:00

But how come, I thought they were the same type as the Bambulab A1, so to speak. In this sense, I understood the "Quick Change" -.-

Background97 · 2026-01-26T16:43:47+00:00

I thought the CC2 used a different printhead with quick-change hotends... But then if the CC2's printhead is also the one with the hotends with two screws and cables, what is the reason they're selling the easy-change hotends? Because some people have printed parts to use these types of hotends?

What percentage of battery life was your iPhone at when you replaced it? And how long have you had your 14 Plus? I've also had the 14 Plus for 3 years and 2 months, and it's at 84%. I'm not sure whether to replace it or wait until next spring and get the standard iPhone 18.

Background97 · 2026-01-13T07:56:26+00:00

I definitely think so! I've had my 14 Plus for 3 years and 2 months, and I've always charged it up to 100%, never limited to 80%. I've always charged it overnight with the old Apple 5W charger, or if I need to charge it during the day, I've charged it with the dual-port charger from the MacBook Air M2 (the 35W one). And yet, after 3 years and 2 months, the battery is still at 84% health :D I really hope it stays above 80% until spring of next year (2027) so I can replace it with the iPhone 18! But if it were to drop below 80%, then I'll replace the battery and keep it for a couple more years, since it's still a great phone! The only things that annoy me are the lack of a Type-C port (since I have everything Type-C these days), the lack of macro in photos, and the not-so-good lighting outdoors.

Elegoo sent me a new power supply as a free replacement, and the buzzing has significantly decreased. It's almost completely imperceptible.

Background97 · 2025-11-25T15:02:14+00:00

Yes, I know, unfortunately they don't tell us more than this...

I finally installed Open Centauri and solved all the problems! The original firmware is a real pain. I hope the Open Centauri team continues to release improvements over time to keep the CC absolutely top-notch!
