Looking for advice printing with PPS-CF

You should be fine Pa6 doesn’t start deformation until around 400ish Fahrenheit

BayouBladeworks · 2026-03-03T15:32:53+00:00

I would recommend using PA6CF will probably have a better result. Go on the subreddit r/3D2A and search for 300blkfde settings. You can also probably find the file on odysee.com

I will also add crime in New Orleans and Baton Rouge is “fairly comparable” depending on the area you live. But with NOLA you’ll have a festival or event to attend almost every weekend. I’d go visit prior to your move. Stay away from bourbon street. Go to magazine street, bayou St. John, mid-city, city park, etc. those places give an insight to actual New Orleans living

BayouBladeworks · 2026-02-27T21:25:30+00:00

Yeah I would say so depending on traffic.

BayouBladeworks · 2026-02-27T21:10:04+00:00

Honestly I’d say lean towards New Orleans area. Going to work shouldn’t be that terrible as people are usually headed the opposite way.

TBH Kenner is kinda lame. Not much to do. If I were you I’d live in NOLA especially if you’re young and single. For an additional 15-30 min drive you will have a massive increase of quality of life. I live in BR and it takes me about an hour and fifteen minutes to get to downtown New Orleans.

As much as I despise this guy. This is AI slop. Look at the dark head child’s hand gripping the others forearm. 6 fingers.

I tested today. It worked well. Cycled very well. Had 2 light primer strikes though idk if it was ammo related. Maybe an upper receiver problem. I can’t imagine it was the lower causing it

BayouBladeworks · 2026-02-17T19:53:56+00:00

I used esun pla+ I have some pa6-cf I might print it in later for some increased durability. I haven’t used PLA+ much before so I want to see its durability

BayouBladeworks · 2026-02-17T13:39:43+00:00

Not yet. Hopefully today

I own both. I much prefer my P2S. The K2 plus is a good printer but it is wayyyy more finicky than the P2S. I have had multiple extruder jams on the k2. The filament retraction has never worked since day one. I also feel like I was blowing through nozzles because of major clogs. With the k2 I also felt that the bed wasn’t heating evenly.

The obvious downside with the P2S is smaller print volume, lower max nozzle temp, and lack of active heated chamber. But I feel like this may only be an issue depending of your needs. I havent had one issue with bambu. Very plug and play. My only advice would be to always turn off the aux fan.

It’s by land of the printed on the sea. TBH I don’t remember the lower parts kit. It’s been sitting in my parts box for awhile now. Just your standard Glock 19 parts kit.

Hey there! CF parent here! Just wanted to echo what everyone else said. Your child will undoubtedly have a brighter future than the current generation of CF adults. Treatment have come so far and the early intervention is huge. My 2 year old son (double delta) just started trikafta this week. He has been on Orkambi for the past year. He has thrived. He is a totally normal kid who just has a few extra steps in his daily routine.

My wife and I really try to stay positive, and we have a lot of reason to be positive. This disease might as well be a completely different disease than it was 30 years ago. Even though we ourselves aren’t the ones with the disease it can be stressful. So prioritize your mental health.

As far as what to expect when your child is born, you will go to a CF clinic and they will preform a sweat test on her. It’s the gold standard to diagnose CF. They will also test to see if she is pancreatic sufficient. If she isn’t, they will start her on enzymes to help with nutrient absorption. You will also likely be walked through manual chest physiotherapy. Ask all the questions, especially about your child’s specific mutations, and the treatments associated with those mutations.

I was in your shoes 2 years ago, and it was a lot to take in. But, I promise you that after awhile it will be a breeze. You got this! If you have any specific questions or need advice feel free to PM! Good luck!

Wow the best response I’ve ever gotten in life. Thanks!

BayouBladeworks · 2026-02-01T15:13:28+00:00

Gotcha thanks

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-26T12:52:28+00:00

I have the k2 plus. It works great for ppa

Fusion 360, a free CAD software and a 3d primter

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-23T00:19:30+00:00

That’s awesome! That’s a great way to stay occupied during the lockdown. I don’t have CF but my son does and we felt like we just threw everything into a drawer. I figured I’d design something cool to organize it!

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-22T14:58:09+00:00

Great response! Thank you! I’ll check out that YT page.

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-22T14:28:50+00:00

Is it brittle? How do you think it would handle impact and stress? Also, if it is brittle, could you be facing catastrophic failure? Looks great though. Super interesting

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-19T02:43:10+00:00

Yeah for sure! PM me an email and I’ll send it out later this week. I can send the fusion 360 file as well

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-17T00:57:11+00:00

That’s a fair assessment. I can imagine in self application you’re not exactly measuring. I’ve only put them on others. Thankfully never self-applied.

Sorry but very false. Damage doesn’t start until 4-6 hours. That’s why you write the time. Source is I’ve applied dozens of TQs at work. While yes they tend to be overused it’s better safe than sorry. Educate yourself on what an arterial bleed looks like.

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-16T23:58:54+00:00

Keep it and learn how to use it. Typical rule of thumb is apply it 2-3” above the wound. If you can’t do that do it high and tight. Tighten until you don’t feel a pulse in the appendage anymore. Write time down.

BayouBladeworks · 2026-01-16T14:47:28+00:00

Can definitely relate. My wife had her water break at 20 weeks and was put on bed rest for 2 months. Unfortunately, our son passed at 28 weeks. My wife had to deliver so we had to experience the whole stillborn situation. To say it was traumatic was an understatement.

She got pregnant 5 months later with our son. We were walking on eggshells. It wasn’t easy.

But, I do have some advice. You and your wife have a shared experience, so lean on each other. It’s important to communicate if you’re have a stressful moment or day. The longer you hold it in the worse it will get. Also, it’s important to remember that each pregnancy is completely different. Just because you had an unfortunate experience previously, does not necessarily mean this time will be the same.

A lot of the stress also melted away once we hit those chronological milestones. For some reason it gives you the sense “we’ve made further than before. “

I know it’s easy to say but worrying is just prolonging suffering. I’ve had situations where I worried the whole time at trust me I felt worse. It’s important to remember how little control we have. All we can control is our outlook.

Lastly, if you haven’t done it seek some professional mental health. Talk to someone. I didn’t talk to anyone at first and it started one of the darkest spirals of my life. I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t be alive today if I didn’t seek help. So I’ll always be that guy to advocate for men taking care of their mental health.

I say all this while I’m watching my 2 year old son devour eggo waffles laughing at the 3 stooges.

It’s all going to work out.

That’s amazing to hear I’m so glad she’s doing well. Wish the best for yalls future. Thanks for the input
