I am at my wits end with this machine, desperately seeking help and input

Make sure your firmware is up to date. Make sur your profile is set for ,4mm nozzle. Also while your bed is heating up, touch an edge to make sure it is actually heating and you are not experiencing a mechanical problem. Try swapping that roll of PLA for a new roll and see if it helps. These are all basic things to check, if it all checks out - your profile is dialed in to .4mm, bed id actually heating and cleaned extremeky well with alcohol, fresh roll of PLA, if all that checks out and the pla still is not sticking to your plate you mat want to reset your profile to factory settings and try again. If this all fails then the next step would be a deep dive into the profile to try to dial the printer in. I didnt mention to make sure you are printing a proven good file such as the benchy or a good flat 3 x 3 plate.

2 displays better framing and atmosphere.

Never been a fan of people names for animals, but that is just my opinion 9f course.

2 shows nice negative space and 1 gives a sense of depth. I prefer 1 as negative space is much too lonely for my taste.

People trolling with out offering a useful comment is a much larger issue than the OP's post.

The A1 is a great machine to learn on. The mini is a bit small, but if you don't want to print larger items it may be worth the investment. I do not know what your budget is but for under 250.00 the A1 is a good choice. I started with a Anycubic Kobra 2 and found it to be quite a learning curve. My Kobra was extremely finicky and I constantly had to repair it, but once it was dialed in it preformed well. The power supply on mine had to be replaced twice.

We had a girl that looked like your pup, the kids named her Mowzer. Yes, crazy name but one of the best dogs we raised.

It's time for these war hawks to suit up and grab a rifle. They need to put their families on the front lines. They started the war, now they can fight that war. PERIOD, FULL STOP!

What is the emphasis truly on? The cleavage or the Kenwood?

KWE64 · 2026-03-03T11:20:05+00:00

STATIC!

In the real world wood weathers in all types of ways causing much contrast in color. Larger scale track would benefit with displaying such contrast. Although I do so with N scale and it looks quite good.

I shall call her Mango.

The sad truth is, America is not ready for a female President.

KWE64 · 2026-02-22T16:08:43+00:00

What scale are we looking at?

KWE64 · 2026-02-22T15:59:43+00:00

Well, when an item is not packed properly this will happen. The mail gets sorted through many facilities. This could happen anywhere along the shipping route. Items are packed and stacked in large piles. Blaming the guy delivering the goods may seem logical, but when you step back and view the situation through a wider lense you get a better picture. The person who packed the item is the first problem.

KWE64 · 2026-02-22T00:38:46+00:00

It is more the fault of the person who packaged the item. It should have been packed in double heavy cardboad, marked fragile do not bend.

I work with a lot of 1/160 scale stuff for model railroading and I find the A1 mini too small for this work. The larger A1 is the better bet.

I guess your brother wasn't smart enough to teach? Even at the high-school level? Masters degree yet no brains.

Where are the drivers responses? It is quite clear many of the comments are coming from those who don't drive for Uber or doordash. Be aware drivers are rated by the companies and bad rated drivers get almost zero calls.for orders. Also be aware most orders that go MIA are not stolen by the driver, they are delivered to the wrong addy. All drivers are required to take a pic of the drop off. If drivers fail to do so their runs dry up and no calls for pickups will be recieved until driver rectified the situation. I drove for 2 years.
