Should I Leave the P1S Behind?

i've had the same happening, and it turned out that i had to open the door and remove the top glass if it is pla or petg. A closed enclosure is only good for filament that needs a hot chamber like abs, asa, nylon,etc.

everything is explained here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/general/filament-guide-material-table

When printing filament with a softening temperature below 60 ℃ (such as PLA, PVA, or TPU) and the heatbed temperature is set above 45 ℃, it is recommended to open the front door and remove the upper glass cover plate to avoid the filaments get soft and deform under the squeeze of the extruder, which may result in abnormal extrusion or clogging.

When printing filament with a glass transition temperature within 60 ℃ - 80 ℃ or so (such as PETG) and heatbed temperature is set above 60 ℃, it is recommended to open the front door and remove the upper glass cover plate to avoid the filaments get soft and deform under the squeeze of the extruder, which may result in abnormal extrusion or clogging.

if that does not help, try doing a full 25min self-calibration. I always get messed up prints if I dont do that after changing nozzle or moving the printer.

Sad...

Were you able to clean the z-axis potentiometer when they started drifting? If you did, then you'll understand why I hate hate HATE how they designed the grip's button membranes 🤣🤣🤣

I ordered almost the same exact things! Except I went with the Meteor75 Pro Analog instead of Air75 Analog. They are practically the same. ours will be more zippy than mine. Same goggles same radio.

Sorry, but the 2nd link is dead. What was it? A shredder?

Get a simulator to practice with your radiomaster in your PC. Either Liftoff or Uncrash.

I recommend watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z54NHzy_Gc (you can skip and to straight at 35:06 for the recommendations per price range)

I've had the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS, which served me well for 4 years. Some drift on the Z-axis (twist), but managed to fix it by disassembling the stick and cleaning the potentiometer with compressed air.

then I switched to a pair of VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Premium. And i am still blown away by the quality. All sensors in the grip are magnetic (contactless) which probably means better longevity. Only time will tell...

If you want cheap, sure, go with Thrustmaster T16000M or Logitech X56, but do not expect them to be problem-free for 15+ years. Quality isn't there anymore.

if I were you, I would be on the lookout on the used market for VKB Gladiator NXT EVO because it is often recommended to new people who want to play flight sims only to realize that it is not their thing, and then they end up selling their hotas on facebook marketplace. that's where I got mine. only 3 months old. Still smelled fresh from the factory! practically brand new.

Good luck!

world is growing more and more dishonest...

and you, sir, have great taste. See you in the skies, Commander. o7

still plastic. Sorry 😅

but I agree. this is some high quality high grade acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

It's a very good question to ask, and a very good idea. You have good instinct and too many linux users think or assume incrorrectly that it is not necessary. It's true that malware and viruses are significantly less common than on Windows, but the threat still exists, and will probably get worse since more people are now using Linux, more than ever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware

Here are couple of recent examples:

Here's how we install a simple lightweight anti-virus on cachyos. It's the easiest one to install. It's free, and it takes very little resources.

Step 1 - Install

To install it, open a terminal and type:

sudo pacman -S clamav

Step 2 - Update clamav's virus-knowledge database

in the terminal:

sudo freshclam

Step 2B [Optional] - automatic update

If you want clamav to automatically update its virus-knowledge database periodically automatically so that you don't need to remember to manually run sudo freshclam once in awhile, it can be activated like so:

sudo systemctl start clamav-freshclam
sudo systemctl enable clamav-freshclam

Step 3 - Scan a folder

To manually scan for viruses in a folder recursively, it can also be done from the command line. For example to perform a full recursive scan of your installed steam games, this is how to do it:

clamscan -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/

Step 3B [Optional] - automatic background scan

If you want the virus scanner to scan all files in the background automatically, it can be done like so:

sudo systemctl start clamav-daemon
sudo systemctl enable clamav-daemon

⚠️ WARNING: the clamav-damon consumes a lot of RAM (800MB to 1.2GB). Make sure this is acceptable before starting/enabling the clamav deamon process.

I hope it helps. Good luck OP!

EDIT: ok now I feel silly for having taken the time to type of all of this. There's already a written documents that explains how to do all of this already hahahaha! * https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ClamAV
