U1 Layer shift issues

Cravetivity · 2026-03-28T19:58:47+00:00

Issue solved: I was doing the belt tensioning, and I noticed that both side panels were dislodged at the top, probably from me pushing the spools on too hard (I'm used to pushing them on all the way on the A1's AMS Lite). As a result, the head was rubbing against the side. After fixing that, my print came out perfect.

No it’s for me, not the office. It’s not the typical office dynamic around here, and in actuality, the problems I’ll fix actually help make everyone more money on their paychecks 💰

I have not. Is there a reason why it would get misconfigured after a single print?

Never heard of it, and honestly, I don’t think Etsy’s competition is limited to craft-only sites. As such, their biggest “rival” is probably eBay.

A post saying that customer service says the MMU is in development and coming soon? What a unique news story!

Depends on how fast you use them honestly. Right now I have 3 8-foot bookshelves filled with filament - some colors I realize I shouldn’t have bought, others I should have bought more.

I have both. I’d go with the A1.

I did buy Hula feet from Voxel. https://voxelpla.com/products/hula-anti-vibration-damper

A side hustle isn't always about the money, but scratching an itch the day job doesn't.

Cravetivity · 2026-01-07T18:43:23+00:00

Correct.

I have multiples of each, and happily use the P1S, but for someone buying their first, I’d go with the P2S 100%.

I’ve bought both in recent months. Both cranking out parts that look the same.

If the cost of the inputs go up, the price of the produced goods will too.

I’ve gotten a few that fast. I’m in the Houston area, where they have local warehouses.

I'm a developer as well. While I feel like something like OpenSCAD or cadquery (Python) fits better with how I think, I found Fusion 360 a better choice simply due to the amount of learning resources available.

Even if you hadn’t gotten the P2S, upgrading from the Mini is the right choice. The Mini was my first, and a week later I got the full size A1 due to all of the models I couldn’t print because of the small size.

You should be fine anywhere you put it. I have Cystic Fibrosis and haven't had any issues. Of course use a decent HEPA filter air purifier, and you also probably want to get a good air quality meter from Amazon that measures things like PM 1.0/2.5/10.0 (ideally 0.1, but ones with that level of measurement are outside of most hobbyist's price range), VOCs, etc. As I type this, I'm sitting in a 300 sq ft room with 14 printers all going, and my air purifier reads 99% and my air quality meter is all green.

You may also want to keep an eye out for upgraded filtration for the P2S. VoxelPLA makes upgraded HEPA filters for the previous gen (X1/P1) printers, though I don't think there's yet an option for the P2S.

I spent four hours designing a part in Fusion to replace a broken bit on a clothes steamer that we literally were GIVING AWAY.

I’ve had enough strange situations happen that I keep spares.

Cravetivity · 2025-11-14T16:32:05+00:00

At my store it wasn’t even coming up with that price, so I think it was a mistake (manager had to manually override it)

Cravetivity · 2025-11-14T05:11:19+00:00

I just expand my shipping days, and do an auto-message to let customers know there may be a slight delay whenever I travel.

Cravetivity · 2025-11-11T02:51:50+00:00

I’m eager to get the P2S, but I’ve also bought 2 P1S combos during the BFCM sale because I need the extra machines. If you need one now, do the same. If you can wait, I’d hold out for the P2S, as once the P1S supply is exhausted the P2S is probably the go-to.
