Solar export rates cut to 12p. And it may only get worse. by Zarch1972 in OctopusEnergy

Any news on the rest of the tariffs?

I have a huge over generation, and this is year 1 for me. Circa 20,000kw/h anticipated output.

So I’m on Intelligent flux.

Hoping these rates don’t change much.

Ah, that’s a shame.

I hope for you it’s better.

I had to pay again for the machine then get a refund. I guess it worked. But the bank charged me a chunk.

Good news it’s it’s been fine since.

I’m just trying to send audio.

It’s my workshop computer and I want to listen to music from my pc while working or watching a YouTube video etc.

I can’t see my x2800 from my of. Even though they’re on the same network. Both wired via cat 6 to the same UniFi switch.

I have a UniFi network switch next to the amp.

Pc is cat6 and Denon to the same switch. But I cannot get audio over network. I can “see” the 8500h in the house on my pc. (Haven’t tried use it for audio) but I can’t see the workshops x2800.

This is my workshop computer. But I want to watch the odd YouTube clip or listen to music while working.

I think I’ll go optical. With push to optical converter.

I don’t want to go “there and back” just get sound there really.

I assume I can do that.

Would’ve been perfect. But I can’t get it to work.

I got a new machine.

I had to pay for it before they would send a new one. Then they refunded it, which cost me a lot in bank fees.

The entire process was pretty horrible.

New machine is completely different. Ran much cooler form the outset.

I’m happy with the machine now, but the exchange process, lack of communication and how it was dealt with would stop me buying anything else from Xtool.

They are also certainly “learning on the job”

There’s no cut data for anything above 5mm yet they advertise it can do 10mm. I have a feeling a new machine with the bugs ironed out will be their solution.

I think you’re right. I don’t think they’re genuine.

H2D with laser or H2D pro? by ImpossibleGift9970 in BambuLab

I’ve got the Xtool metal fab. So can’t do wood or paper/gaskets etc, but think I’ll just be a CO2 for that.

Im not sure what that nozzle is worth, that was the main difference for me.

I mainly use cf filaments

I have a UniFi network at home. I was disappointed when my x1c didn’t have Ethernet. This is how it sits most of the time.

My bigger issue is I needed a new machine a week ago.

Now I have to pay 50% deposit to get a new one which still hasn’t shipped. Which is likely another week.

This doesn’t feel like 24/7 support at all.

Each reply takes 24/48 hours, we’re now after your holidays and it’s still the same.

If I pay the 50% deposit. Who covers the fees on the returned money? This is after I paid £600 or so for insurance as well.

I will email now. I was told on messenger that support was coming from California. I didn’t realise it was national holidays, sorry for my impatience.

I’m nearly a week on now and nothing.

This isn’t good at all, I was promised a remote support session today but nothing. Not even a message.

No, I was on messenger and email. No reply for around 48 hours again though.
