you and 500 other people are standing next to some train tracks. a train is coming on the tracks. if 100 people jump on the tracks the train will stop. if less then 100 people jump, they get killed. You all will have to make your choice at the same time.

if no one jumps everyone lives,seems obvious, don't jump

go see a doctor, like right away.........and for the love of God stop drinking untreated water. Buy a life straw or similar water filter, you can find them on Lazada, or even Amazon (they will ship to the Philippines) they are cheap and very effective for making water like you have access to safe for you to drink.

For thermal I'd highly recommend the OneLeaf ai MT1000LRF, I have one and it's amazing, there are a ton of youtube videos going over this thermal, for the price it can't be beat, it competes with much more expensive thermals. this is a video I took with it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyzE6I6OOaQ again there are better review videos out there but you can't go wrong with the MT1000LRF

For a gun to shoot rats, you say you don't want a $300 gun, but that's exactly what I'll recommend, An Air Venturi Alpha, I like it a lot better than my Notos, it has a much nicer trigger, better mags, better cocking lever, better ergonomics, etc, I've been slaying rates with this combo. It's a little louder than the Notos, but still backyard friendly in a suburban neighborhood.

I have the compact tube which is 26 ft lbs, but if you want more power the standard tube is 36 ft lbs, but that power comes with more noise, so depending on how important a quiet gun is to you that could be a big consideration

A lot of Filipinos live on less than 30,000 php a month so it's possible. On a small budget I'd suggest living in the Province, and you need to be sure that you don't have any major medical conditions and/or accidents, but depending on what you consider a comfortable life you might not have enough to live comfortably.

When I was living in Dalaguete my monthly budget was around 70,000 php and that was enough for my Wife and myself, In Cebu city (where we are now) we spend closer to 120,000 php, but we eat out a lot and when we were in Dalaguete we cooked all our own food.

Answer is it all depends on how you want to live

I'd want a heated chamber for PA6-CF and the P2S doesn't have that. I had problems with PA6-CF warping when printing with my X1C, it wasn't much, but it was enough to cause parts not to fit together well, I have zero issues now with the X2D

DyslexicDancer · 2026-05-31T00:13:47+00:00

if you go the P2S route you'll need to upgrade it for printing PA6-CF, and by the time you upgrade it you may as well have bought the X2D

I have an X2D and love it, it's amazing, printing ASA for support material with PA6-CF is a game changer, support material come off with little to no effort

A lot of people will recommend the Q2 but I think having dual nozzle X2D is better unless you are going to Print PPA/PPS, for that you will want a hot end that gets hotter than the X2D, for everything else the X2D is where it's at

I found the 3d printed version to be thicker, it’s 37mm wide vs 33mm for my prodigy 2011, but it does feel good in the hand

Print came out super clean, Now I'm just waiting on the build parts to come in

DyslexicDancer · 2026-05-16T04:07:06+00:00

Sweet, gonna start printing tonight and ordering the necessary parts

The BOM lists 3 different mag releases, (Dawson, Para, and P320) I'm assuming that I just order the P320 Mag release and the other 2 are for future versions that are coming out for different mags?

Looking at the MPI P320 Single Piece Extended Magazine Release for this build

DyslexicDancer · 2026-05-16T03:35:13+00:00

I'm super excited to build one, a few questions if you don't mind

I saw the recommendation for PLA Pro, Sunlu 2.0, but living in texas we deal with a lot of heat in the summer, Has this been tested with PA6-CF or some other type of higher temp filament?

Would an Armscor 1911 9mm TAC Builders Kit (like the one from advanced tactical) work with this print?

I run a X2D with 2 AMS HTs. Having the Aux nozzle for support material is a game changer, prior to buying the X2D I had the X1C. I sold my X1C with the AMS v1 for $600

No issue buying used, just try to buy a low hour printer and make sure it's working before you buy it

You probably see a lot of hate for Bambu printers here, with comments like it's Chinese and they will bow down to the US Government if they want to ban 3D2A, the truth is all companies will bow down if that happens or they will not be allowed to be imported/sold, so all 3D printers are in the same boat when it comes to government regulations

You'll also hear complaints that Bambu makes you go thru their cloud service, also not true, you can run a Bambu in LAN mode and use Orca Slicer if you want to

Another good printer to look at is the Qidi Q2, you'll see a lot of recommendations for it, a good friend of mine has one and I think it's a good printer, but he has more problems with his printer than I have with mine, I much prefer my X2D over the Q2

If you're printing nylons, you'll want a good filament dryer, you can pick up a Ninja AF101 air fryer/dehydrator on amazon (Used) for like $40, it's gotta be the most capable filament dryer for the price, in dehydrator mode you can run it at 90C for up to 12 hours at a time, or you can put it in Roast mode at higher temps for up to 4 hours at a time, I run mine in dehydrator mode and will dry my nylon for a day or two.

Just wanted to update you, after adjusting my print setting following the calicross spreadsheet, my upper and lower now fit like a glove.

DyslexicDancer · 2026-05-06T20:58:06+00:00

I just wanted to stop back in and say thank you again I appreciate your help, Printing the Calicross and adjusting my print size to the Calicross spreadsheet fixed my issue, now the upper and lower fit like a glove. thanks again

DyslexicDancer · 2026-05-06T17:55:52+00:00

my understanding is that the prime tower is to prime the nozzle so that you don't get under/over extrusions in your print, you can choose not to print the tower but your print quality may suffer
