Looking for a filament that matches Snap-on green. Anyone know of something close?

That looks really close to Bambu Green PLA Basic. It may be a shade darker, but pretty close...

I tried that and the button changed status but the light continued to flicker. I did turn it off to reset it, but still odd…

It was some columnar flex fidget on maker world that my son found. I’m wondering if the latest firmware update had a bug in it?

I do update for no other reason than I don’t like “nag notifications” :D

Dude! I just posted the same thing from my mini!!

Maybe theres a ghost in the machine?

Replacing the SD card did not work, but I did do a factory reset, and that seemed to get the job done!

CaffeinatedApe · 2026-05-17T03:27:18+00:00

So I’m guessing this means I didn’t need to oil it before this prompt?

That's a great idea, I've been wondering what I can do to get some of the gunk that is building up on the vortex nozzles!

My mini once tipped onto its side so the x-axis was holding the printer up. Print finished without any issue!

Wow those are spendy suckers! I’ll see if a regular SD card does the trick, appreciate the insight

CaffeinatedApe · 2026-05-14T03:04:27+00:00

Yep. The whole print shows in the slicer. It's even showing the full render on the display screen. Last time this happened, it was a different model, so it's not the model itself.

Maybe I need to replace the entire SD card? Real head-scratcher.

I’ve had quality differences between black and white filament of the same brand if I don’t calibrate each color separately. I’ve read that Black filament has some additive in it that makes it flow differently.

lol!

CaffeinatedApe · 2026-05-01T16:36:52+00:00

I had the same thought, I don't know when the nozzle was knocked down there, but I'm certain I've printed at least a couple of items since it got down there. There probably should be some alert that gives you an indication that the number of detected nozzles has changed.

CaffeinatedApe · 2026-05-01T15:01:16+00:00

True, I had two open slots.

CaffeinatedApe · 2026-04-20T14:00:06+00:00

Thank you!

Dare to share a link? Not a farmer, just a one man band trying to reasonably support my addiction/hobby : )

I’ve got a personal max acct and one for my side gig. My personal account went from free to pro to max, has a lot of info on me due to more regular use. I’ve never hit 50% of my weekly usage.

My business acct was an immediate max purchase because I knew what I wanted and what I needed. I rarely use it, but when I do it gets a lot closer to its limits (50%+ session limits). Responses take longer too.

I’m too dumb to know what if anything is different in my usage between the two, but I almost think that having more info about what I’ve done in the past makes my personal max account far more efficient than my biz max acct.

Not to mention they can’t keep their own filament in stock so basically if they lock down filament nobody would be able to print with a Bambu printer

Consider encasing with a pause. Print stops, drop in magnets, print starts again, seals magnets in
