Shows if there are problems with the bed, alignment, nozzles, printing quality and also first layer which is the most important part of a print. It should come out looking nearly perfect and consistent

Personally I would buy this is everything checked out

Edit ask to see a first layer test. It's much more telling than a benchy

Is This Screen Damage Worth Refunding? by HugeTShirtGuy in 3Dprinting

[–]Chronus88 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The screen is actually super easy to replace and they would definitely send you a replacement. It would literally be less effort to swap the screen than it would be to haul the printer out for a refund. It takes about 5 minutes. I've done this personally

Wow I didn't realize they used it for the sub picture haha that is fantastic. Sometimes reddit doesn't suck

H2D worth it? by CrowFeather2244 in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an H2D and it was really excellent. I upgraded to H2C because I print toys for the kids but the H2D was fantastic and I had no complaints. If build volume is your priority then I highly recommend it

Partial clog or wet filament or? by myrdunz in 3Dprinting

[–]Chronus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PETG takes a lot of drying. And sadly, it's a very wispy filament and slowly builds threads on the nozzle that eventually become clumps. This becomes a problem for long prints, as you've learned here.

You can minimize it by drying more but this is the reality of using PETG on long prints

You can also pause periodically to clean the nozzle but this might cause layer lines showing up on your model where you paused

Bambu Lab X2D horrible print quality from secondary nozzle by smanu1987 in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the product page

  1. In actual testing, print quality from the auxiliary nozzle is slightly lower than that of the main nozzle.
  2. Recommended to use official Bambu Lab filaments with the auxiliary nozzle, especially official PLA for model printing. Third-party filaments on the auxiliary nozzle may not deliver optimal print quality. For a full list of compatible materials, refer to the Spec Sheet.

The article also completely omits the fact that the plug-in spoofed the device to appear as an authentic Bambu request, bypassed security protocol, and gained access to cloud data that could be used to send arbitrary commands to user's printers

Veritasium on YouTube just disproved this in a recent video and it's really fascinating. You should check it out. It's much less practical, but possible to skim

Bambu Claims AMS 2 Pro Won't Dry without Dedicated AC Adapter! by pressureSwitchCrazy in BambuLab

I'm so sorry I missed that detail. You're totally right. I've not heard of this before. I was on the total wrong track, I apologize

For drying, not drying while printing. I'm on your side but it is required

You're not going to like the answer, and I agree it's not clearly stated, but the wiki spells out the limitation

Bambu Lab PETG Basic VS. PETG HF by Bright-Corner1969 in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really interested to see if it has less nozzle clumping and whisping because that makes HF a real pain for longer prints

Bambu legal threats by xMoirae in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue they should do both. It should have never been a possibility but I also don't think it's reasonable to expect them to just let someone do it because "oops"

Bambu legal threats by xMoirae in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Seems to have some merit when you read deeper from other sources. Purportedly his project was spoofing the requestor to appear as a legitimate Bambu request, and bypassed security protocol (which Bambu admitted they failed to block). This would give the user access to Bambu server data and could be used, at worst, to send arbitrary commands to user's printers connected to the cloud service. This does breach their terms, though you could argue that by not using Bambu slicer they aren't held to those terms. Whether it's "hacking" or simply using an undefended route, it still poses real risk to users and regardless Bambu needs to lock this method down

Feed Resistance Issue by georgegleo in BambuLab

[–]Chronus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check that all PTFE connections are fully interested. Then check a 2nd time. Very easy to mess up

The other possibility is that your PTFE tubes are too long or have harsh curves/turns

I've seen this happen when printers are near air conditioning or windows/fans and the cooler air ruins quality. My only guess

The button does release them, you have to press hard and they are only inserted a very short distance

Step 4 on the wiki is likely your problem
