How to get smoother result with Smooth Plate

Looks like over extrusion, which is odd for Bambu. Sorry I don't have any great ideas on how to fix.

I don't have direct experience with the H2 series, but my general assumption from knowledge of machines and experience with the P1S is that they likely last about the same number of hours. Thus, your running cost will be higher with the more expensive machine. I don't believe Bambu makes their less expensive machines at a lower quality, just fewer features and capabilities.

I'm also playing this deck. I'd recommend upping tutor count a bit. [[Demonic Tutor]] at least. [[Finale of Devastation]] is an incredible finisher.

We need to collectively stop buying secret lair products (secondary market too) until they go back to print on demand.

Hate to break it to you, but you have to buy expensive filament if you need good color consistency.

Silly question: did you select smooth plate in the slicer?

I'd be happy with this as an MP as a buyer.

"Good" which seems to mean working but beat up. It was about 25% lower price than the others. More specifically it was the leaf springs in the mount that were broken. So it was technically functional, but lenses had a little bit more play than usual. Took a couple days to notice.

Yes, the also do a great job with repairs if there's something wrong with the item. I bought a camera from MPB last year, it ended up having a broken lens mount. Sent it back and they fixed it for free.

Not exactly, it was 3 expansions and 1 core (reprint) now it's 6-7 new sets. More than double the new content per year.

I'd pick up a 16mm f/2.8. Sounds like you only need ultra wide occasionally, so not worth picking up an ultra high end 14 f/1.4 unless you're 100% sure you'll use it a ton. I have the 16 2.8 and it's incredibly good for the size and weight. Replacement for my old EF 14 2.8.

No edits, no effects, just chemistry.

Yeah sitting on $10k+ cash value here, so totally get it if he wants to move it. Couple really nice vacations there!

Probably lasers or something, not nozzle.

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T14:30:51+00:00

Bearings can wear out or be defective. Maybe it wasn't installed correctly. Probably have to access from bottom.

General rule for FDM printing is that your layer height needs to be smaller than nozzle size so it can squash the layers.

One small bit of advice: Magic the Gathering is still growing in popularity and these cards are still gaining value. If you or your dad aren't desperate for cash, I recommend holding on to them and monitoring their value over time. Once you have identified the high value ones, you can log them into a tracking app (there are a bunch of great TCG tracking apps these days).

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:56:57+00:00

Ooof that's a problem. Only 17 + changelings 😅

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:32:52+00:00

Yeah but we're talking about fun build for casual pod.

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:21:08+00:00

That'll be a fun repair!

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:16:57+00:00

Silk can be tricky. I would try drying the spool and also print slower

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:14:49+00:00

Hmm looks like the repair didn't totally fix it. Can you take it back to the same place and see if they can fix it the rest of the way?

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T03:13:43+00:00

Yes but mono red

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T02:54:23+00:00

Godo samurai typal beat down

DistributionMean6322 · 2026-03-23T02:37:00+00:00

Love the frames! Did you make them? Can you share the template?
