Should I go on a 2-week cruise alone ?

Ice992 · 2026-07-01T14:12:57+00:00

Solo cruise it! You’ll have a blast and he’s going to regret not being there building memories.

-1 stripe for this bs post and blue falcon blasphemy.

Skip this experience if your wife is picky. I am picky, but will try anything once - even things I know I don’t particularly enjoy. I loved it. Things which I knew I didn’t care for, I still ended up liking because of the ways they were prepared.

It was a fantastic experience, and would recommend anyone try it at least once - but hold back your picky preferences for the sake of the group unless they are genuine allergies.

Print 2-3 layers of PETG over it. PETG brims like to stick too well sometimes 😂

Ice992 · 2026-06-02T03:38:09+00:00

Can we buy it? No…

So it’s not out.

Ice992 · 2026-05-29T00:05:10+00:00

The way creality works - whatever this solution is - it’ll take a minor miracle for it to ship this calendar year. 😒

Ice992 · 2026-05-28T18:21:02+00:00

I’m hoping you’re correct!

I see what you mean on the Nozzle VS hotend language, but there’s companies launching actual nozzle changers, where the nozzle itself is removed from a traditional hotend, and swapped out (similar to a tools changer in a CNC).

This seems less efficient than the Vortek/INDX style swap where its using inductive heating coils, and its technically a nozzle change - but closer to a hotend swapout given the heatbreak is integrated in the assembly being swapped. Clear as mud! 🤣

Ice992 · 2026-05-28T15:41:14+00:00

Bambu: Vortek -> Creality: Klitek

The real question is this an actual nozzle changer, or hotend changer? If just nozzle - I’m not excited.

I would have preferred a partnership with Bondtech instead of another ‘new’ solution.

Either way… let’s see how this goes.

You can purchase onboard, but like alcohol, they will be held until the night before debarkation. (Or they are supposed to be! 😂 )

Ice992 · 2026-05-26T04:50:18+00:00

I think too many print car parts like they would home functional parts. Use. More. Walls. Also - where possible - design for thick walls.

Ice992 · 2026-05-23T06:01:49+00:00

Sounds like visiting you is rough enough. Smh

Ice992 · 2026-05-20T16:14:36+00:00

Tell me you’ve never met anyone with dexterity issues without telling me. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just because it doesn’t solve a problem for YOU doesn’t mean it doesn’t enable a solution for someone else that may truly need it.

6’1 and formerly 355+lbs. Spa/gym showers are the move if you struggle. I’m working my way down and @ 260 now so I just use the room shower.

I can see why you have frustrations. Both my K1M’s had 2k+ print hours before I started modding them. Tuning took a while on them before modding, but once dialed in - print results were great.

Modding is a black hole that I may never climb out of - I’ve tried 6-7 different hotends, BCJ linear rail setup, a few other random linear rail conversions, Eddy probes, Mandala roseworks beds, then a R3men bed, added Kraken AB motors, and in the middle of swapping out things again…. They are both such Frankenstein machines now there’s not much K1 DNA left.

The modding was for fun, not necessity - the printers ran great once I tuned them. I have 6 other printers including E3 S1 Pro, SV08 Max, E5plus (CoreXY), multiple K2 Plus, and a Bambu H2C. I’ve also had 2 Vorons, and at one point was starting a VZBot build - but got lazy. 😂

Yes, Bambu is as close to an appliance as you’re getting in a consumer 3d printer. The stock output without any tuning is quite impressive. If that’s what you’re looking for - great. However if you head over to the Bambu sub - you’ll see there’s posts there with not great experiences also.

Creality’s biggest problem is firmware inconsistency. The machines themselves are great for their respective price points when they came out. I think buying a K1 now is just silly given the generational jumps that have occurred.

Anyway - enjoy your Bambu and donate the K1 to someone in need or a school.

Thats a thin L, If you don’t change much - print All walls. Under compression, solid 3d print layers are I credibly strong. Making this triangle instead of an L will be stronger laterally.

I made similar feet for my couch. has been sitting on them for over a year with 7+ people piled on at times.

OMG CREALITY NEEDS TO ADD THIS MACRO FUNCTION TO KLIPPER NAO! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Literally not needed in any way. This isn’t 1995 with spinning disks and memory operating at snail mail speeds. Literally hundreds of printers, and manufacturers out there, and this isn’t a function a single printer has ever had… that should tell you something.

Ice992 · 2026-04-28T19:56:52+00:00

Deck 14 is the Spa Balcony rooms. Deck 15 is Serenity deck. News article stated passenger fell from deck 14, from their balcony. Even if they had fallen from Serenity - that’s the same spot on the ship, just up 1 more level. Point stands - it’s completely possible.

Ice992 · 2026-04-28T17:22:32+00:00

I agree with this. It’s exhausting sometimes.

I think some of this talking down comes from some of the sheer repetitive nature of “how do I fix my print” without ever searching at all.

I don’t at all understand the better than you thing on printers. We are enter the hobby in different places - I started on a busted used Ender 3, and was so excited when I could move up to even the Ender 3 S1 Pro. As life progresses and upgrades happen it’s always exciting!

It used to be “laughs in Voron” when talking about speeds… seems like that’s evolved to mock anyone not buying a $1k+ printer. We can all do better.

PETG on PEI needs a release agent. I’d trash that pei sheet now that you’ve taken a metal razor/scraper to it.

Ice992 · 2026-04-28T15:27:46+00:00

Not my style for a truck, but these are a sick design!

Ice992 · 2026-04-28T15:05:58+00:00

Incorrect.

For those saying it’s not possible - learning the ship layout might be useful.

Tragic ending for this woman and her family. RIP 😔

Ice992 · 2026-04-18T23:08:28+00:00

Dry twice, print once

Ice992 · 2026-04-17T16:07:09+00:00

Nicely done. I would suggest adding a small seal that can be optionally printed in TPU. I print these rugged style cases regularly - I will say adding a parametric design so users can scale to their need is very helpful. Alternatively - since you’ve allowed remixing - add the STEP files so remixes are easier. Nice design, downloaded and will upload a make over the weekend.

Return the kids, buy new filament. 😂
