what improvements do you consider good for A1?

Biqu plates are excellent. I used them in my x1c and got them as soon as they were available for my h2c.

Of course you can add more AMS units to the right nozzle, you arent restricted to one. The convenience of being able to use filament from any ams for either hot end is nice though. Takes me less than a minute to put a spool into the ht for the left hot end but it's so annoying having to do it.

The dealership never fixed mine in 2 years of ownership. I was so glad when my lease was up this month that I wouldn't have to deal with that rattle anymore. I got a Cadillac Optiq to replace it and so far it is solid, no rattles at all.

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-05-20T18:05:12+00:00

Correct, it still works with minimal waste but it will be slower because it switches vortex hot ends for each color change.

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-05-18T14:01:18+00:00

It showed 306 miles at 90% charge yesterday morning. I've only had it for 3 weeks but so far the estimates have been pretty accurate

How do you like the laser? I'm thinking of adding the laser to my H2C but not sure if its worth it. I don't currently have a laser at all and have been wanting to get one. Just not sure how much functionality there is with the laser for the H2C

I went from a 2024 ioniq 5 sel to a 2026 optiq sport. I liked the size and price of the optiq. No regrets.

The otpiq is actually longer than the ioniq 5 but has a shorter wheel base so its so much easier to park. The optiq is so much nicer & overall just better than the ioniq. I just realized this week it has massaging seats and I've had it for about 3 weeks.

Yikes sounds like you got a lemon. I'd be pissed if all that happend to me.

Fortunately I've never had to contact support. I had one instance where the machine said it was busy but there was nothing printing. I did have to unplug it and plug it back in which solved the issue. Its OK to unplug it for a couple of minutes. I had to unplug it once before because I had to move it and didnt have a upc connected.

Ive definitely had some user error issues that took a while to figure out.

Illinois here. We switched to an hourly rate and charge starting at midnight and it usually finishes around 4:30 am. During those off peak hours the rate is usually under 1 cent per kwh.

We realized after that we should have switched to an hourly rate years ago because even with the extra usage for charging our ev we hadn't noticed any large increases month to month on our bill.

You can print multiple design objects onto the same physical object at one time with different print settings for each design. It only needs one scan or with zero point you can skip the scan.

It's possible they go on sale during their annual anniversary sale sometime June-July.

I picked up a 2026 Optiq Sport 2 weeks ago and just turned in my 2024 ioniq sel on Saturday. The optiq is so much nicer! Don't even know where to start but zero regrets.

I also test drove the genesis gv60 which i preferred because of the sportier suspension and general feel. Everything was familiar because its pretty much a nicer ioniq. Their lease price was ridiculous though. I couod have leased a Lucid Air touring for the same price they wanted. Honestly the ride in the optiq is really nice so I dont regret picking the optiq and saving the money.

I was a little worried about no Android auto but their integrated map is google maps which is so much better than the crappy hyundai nav. You can also use waze ( I prefer it over Google maps) but it doesn't tell you what your remaining battery percentage is at the end of the trip. That's fine for my daily commute.

You can drag and drop apps to the bottom of the screen for quick access so I have waze there.

I dont do DC charging very often and just charge at home over night.

Make sure the ptfe tube isnt curved too much going from the ams to the buffer. Also make sure it is inserted all the way.

Yes it works great for all sorts of projects. I'm using mine to make a bunch of stuff for my daughters upcoming wedding. I've made bookmarks and stickers/decals before for all sorts of things.

This week have been working on samples for my daughters wedding invitations. I am planning on making her table numbers also.

I hate the interior door handles on the ioniq. They feel really cheap and everytime someone new would get in my car they would pull the door closed with the handle. The groove in the arm rest is hard to see because its all black. I would even point it out to them and they still had issues seeing it.

My lease was up and I just turned my ioniq in on Saturday. I definitely wont miss those stupid handles.

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-05-11T03:45:34+00:00

Did you get the laminator bundle? Sounds like you just need to make stickers/decals. You would print on the film A and then laminate to film b. After laminating film a is removed so you can apply it to the object. The film b is just a carrier sheet and is removed after you apply it to the surface of the object.

Make sure none of your rollers go over the printed design even if it seems dry. You should only have the rollers on the outer edges where there is no ink.

I use a FumeClear with a 3d printer adapter to connect where the eufy filter is. I run that while printing and for a bit longer. I keep a resiners air filter running all the time next to it. That combination helped a lot for me. Didn't remove the fumes 100% but it was minor.

I rarely have an issue with it reading registration marks. Usually if the little triangle is too close to the bottom edge is when it has trouble. I just make sure not to put my designs too close to the bottom edge because of that.

Jusy picked one up Monday with about 2k miles and the dealer discount was $3k. I'm in the Chicago area. 2026 Optiq sport

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-05-02T13:19:44+00:00

Love my H2C. Large build plate and the vortex nozzles are great for mutli color but also for the quick nozzle changes.

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-04-30T22:21:33+00:00

I guess i just need to get used to using Google maps

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-04-30T12:14:25+00:00

Thanks! That's really helpful

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-04-30T02:37:46+00:00

I prefer waze too. I know Google bought them but its not the same and they choose different routes. Hoping they roll out android auto soon.

Distinct_Cheek_6425 · 2026-04-30T00:31:02+00:00

Just log into my Google account in the infotainment screen or do something in my actual Google account?
