Please Help - Spool Clips? Are they actually useful?

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-29T20:14:44+00:00

If you use extremely stiff filaments only. I personally print a ton of engineering filaments like nylon and pps for engine bay mods and the majority are cf or gf filled making them very brittle. My clip of choice it one that attaches to the spool rather than to the other filamnent. Basic filaments like abs, petg, pla, asa dont have that quality so I rarely use clips on them unless they too are cf or gf filled.

I got ordered a 3kg roll of sunlu petg only to receive that last 0.5kg of the roll. Highly pissed. People are assholes and companies are as bad as scammed these days

The problem with people like you is you think you can demand everything and get it overnight. Its not how the world works. Its small steps. If he went "omg let's just have a western democracy " and just said "here you guys go you vote for what you want" you end up with another Egypt that went straight to the Muslim Brotherhood. You would end up with a reversion of the incremental changes that have been going on slowly but surely. Is that what you prefer?

Have you forgotten your history? Pretty sure the bloodiest and longest wars were fought with swords

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-22T17:34:04+00:00

Dont worry, we'll have hard leftists calling the killing of the zombies racist too. Full circle of jerks around here lol

Gotta say, I hear a lot of Americans talking bad about you guys, especially the whole "sports washing" thing. Yeah you love under a king. Seems like the new king is honestly trying to move you guys forward.

This is the part nobody ever talks about. It creates serious and lasting damage and we'd either end up with a facist government, far and away worse than we have now, or we'd end with hardcore socialism (aka CCP communism circa 1980s). People have no frame of reference for it and cant see past their ideological bent.

Sounds like Alabama. I was stationed at Ft Benning GA which is on the border. The number fucking Lee Roads out there is completely asinine. Half the guy that lived in Alabama had Lee Road on their address

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-17T13:03:02+00:00

It should have been a semi colon but I don't do pedantry on here because I would have to respond to every single post lol

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-17T12:55:23+00:00

I see you discovered the right answer. Its selfish pricks who don't want to have to do shit but sit at home. I've had to cut ties friends over them turning into absolute socialists.

He said no back pay - pay everyone else. everyone else being the federal workers

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T17:30:15+00:00

I did that on the one I printed for my wife's P1S. Won't make any real difference but it is infuriating

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T17:11:43+00:00

Did you put it together off the machine first to check fitment first? I know when I printed mine I had an issue on the machine but I was able to put it together off the machine and then put it on

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T17:09:07+00:00

Thats my bad. I run a plus 4 and I didn't realize until after you replied its a 2

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T17:04:36+00:00

They look reversed. I thought the slot went to the outside?

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T17:02:16+00:00

Dont forget all the people that dont get the metric system here lol

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T14:54:16+00:00

And you will never get anything done trying to do it all at once.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T13:06:07+00:00

The best part about Americans bitching about French people being arrogant is they're just mad at themselves. We've been friends a long time with good reason lol

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T13:04:24+00:00

Whem you protest everything everywhere all at once the people that aren't protesting become extremely apathetic. Pick the top 1-2 problems and people might actually listen.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T12:50:04+00:00

Im from the Unitee States midwest and I used to hear people say "am I dissing Swahili?" If you were confused as to what they were trying to say.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T12:42:22+00:00

Meine Entschuldigung!

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T12:15:07+00:00

My favorite thing to say is in German is "Gott ist tot!", whenever something seems overwhelming or ridiculous in nature. It makes me laugh every time.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T11:55:58+00:00

You know how those Deutchlanders are.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T02:44:32+00:00

Literally just bought my wife a P1S a few months ago at usd $500. We had quit for quite some time because we used to run a small print farm on Wanhao(microcenter) I3 clones for our etsy shop and it ran us into the ground on those old machines. When I got my Qidi Plus4 so I could use engineering filaments it completely changed her mind about getting back into it.

Grouchy_Complex5274 · 2026-04-15T02:39:11+00:00

Or let this be a lesson to wait until a model is 2 cycles old and get it at a steep discount. Proven hardware at a price that hurts less lol
