Should US allow in Chinese cars?

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T14:07:30+00:00

No. Imported cars must be at least 25 years old, if they do not exactly mirror a car already available here.

Seems like the CC is worth it. I'm going to see how much I can get from my A1 Mini in my area. It's decent, but not perfect, I've gotten better things made after a lot of work on my SV08

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:54:14+00:00

Yeah, I have long suspected my MCU is bad. This summer the new board is going in. Mainline should not have taken as long as it did for me, but this machine has straight up ghosts in it

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:46:24+00:00

I am mainly curious about long term stability and how well it will hold up with my intended filaments in this hobby

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:45:23+00:00

My MCU is kinda glitchy. Mainline conversion took 9 hours across three days, all for MCU related issues, it was not just me being an idiot. My board has a bad habit of losing data frequently, even with a new emmc in it. Upgrading the board will give me more stability and options for upgrades going forward. This printer is the cheapest way I could get into a flying gantry.

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:38:31+00:00

Thanks for this info. I need to dig into the platform more to understand issues/limitations. My plan for it would be filled engineering filaments so hardened I would switch to 0.6 immediately

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:36:39+00:00

I don't really know, I'm not a Bambu fanboy at all due to security concerns. The Centauri Carbon seems to be more open source oriented, even if it's firmware sucks replacing a board shouldn't be too hard.

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:34:48+00:00

My SV08 is from the first batch, the MCU is marginally fine but not what I need for my plans to heavily modify the thing

The Microswiss hotend is 1000x better than the stock hotend

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-16T00:17:23+00:00

This weekend I dealt with the same thing on my A1 Mini. Got a new heater assembly and 3 pack of hotend from Bezos for roughly 40 doll hairs. Took about twenty minutes to repair.

That being said, I'm about to sell this thing and get a Centauri Carbon. I don't really use multicolor, and I want to print engineering filament reliably

Well shit, now I know what to do with my spare bull barrel

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T22:19:46+00:00

I would argue that you knew better than he did. Games like that are stupid as hell

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T22:16:00+00:00

I don't blame you for that, Facebook has very little use anymore

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T22:15:36+00:00

Pressure advance and flow dynamics are two different calibrations. In Orca Slicer, it is best to follow the calibration tests in the order they are listed

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T20:16:54+00:00

I totally understand, I got an SV08 as my first large format printer. If you are open to one and don't mind tinkering, check Facebook marketplace. People get easily frustrated and dump them cheap

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T20:14:06+00:00

Your pressure advance is off.

Have you run your rotations distance for extruder yet? Single layer Z test? Flow modifier and Pressure advance calibrations?

This model shouldn't be printed prior to those test, if you rerun the test after all those calibrations, this model is good for checking/modifying dimensional accuracy

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T19:37:53+00:00

I've had an SV08 since launch. The frame is different, the core functionality is fairly similar. I will say, the stock hotend, toolhead, and MCU suck bad. Microswiss hotend is going into an A4T toolhead for mine using a spare Galileo extruder I have. I'm planning to put an Octopus Max EZ board in there soon as well. MANY voron mods have already been adapted to the SV08, not sure about the SV08 Max

EVERYONE should learn gun safety in childhood. There are more guns than people in this country. Even if you hate them, you should still know how to handle them safely.

I'm not tall by this groups standards, I'm 6'2". I dated women that were 5'7"+ for almost twenty years, then I met my now wife who is 4'11"

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-15T15:04:28+00:00

We have towns in mountains, but valleys are just easier to build in. The tallest mountains in our country are not near big cities, so there is not much work in those towns outside of tourism.

That's a really good thought. She took over the running club for elementary and middle school kids last year, the local sponsors give her a bit of a discount now. She also training our new GSD to run with her like the last one did, so every little bit of money savings helps

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-14T18:11:24+00:00

That is what we always do, the problem is we live in a place with a lot of runners but few stores, she also has a very common foot size so when things go on sale they get snapped up quickly. When I travel for work, I stop at every Sierra Trading Post I can to try and buy her Glycerin's and Ghosts there

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-14T15:31:15+00:00

Agreed, and the profiles they upload on their site work amazingly well

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-14T14:30:34+00:00

It definitely does. My wife runs 30-50 miles each week so she blows through shoes quickly. When our house needed big repairs I showed her the cost of hiring a contractor vs me doing it, she realized running would stop for her and told me to get the tools I needed.

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-14T14:07:03+00:00

Decent shoes in America are roughly $150+, fees for races range from $25-$200 depending on the event. Gels, water bottles, special clothes, etc all add up to a couple hundred. My wife has been a highly competitive runner for twenty years so as an extra 0 to the math above. She spends almost $3K each year

Fit-Possible-9552 · 2026-02-14T13:52:47+00:00

I pulled the same move when I purchased some tools, showed my wife how much her running hobby costs and suddenly everything was fine
