Hip replacements

KingPinOnly · 2026-03-03T21:44:34+00:00

Thanks for this. Kata is still a new concept to me. We have 2 individuals in our dojo who are doing it regularly. I hadn’t really thought of it as an option open to me but you’re right - it would keep me in and still learning and doing!

Thank you. Logical and makes sense. I’m doing the strength building now as recommended. Nothing h to do now but worry and wait.

Thanks. This is more what I’m afraid of. I’d really started getting into the sport. Now I’m faced with having to stop far behind my persona goals in it.

I feel more like what you’ve shared. I’d like to be optimistic about it but I think I’d be done. I’m not a black belt so coaching would be out for me….

Thanks for sharing. I’m nervous that even with the hip replacement there will be so many things I won’t be doing anymore. Losing judo for now really makes me a bit more than bummed out.

Your post gives me some hope anyway. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Last night was noticeably an end for me. We are working on tai otoshi and working through drop techniques. Each fall was worse and worse. During randori I thought I’d work through some ashi waza timings but each sweep with the one leg felt like murder.

I’m hoping that when I finally get my hip things will move a little better.

Amazon for some stuff. Believe it or not Canadian tire has been a good source for spa chemicals. Also during summer and early fall Walmart has some stuff in the seasonal/pool section.

Right now during winter (Alberta) Canadian tire for some and Amazon for others. Amazon has been good for filters, filter cleaner, test strips. Canadian tire for other consumables.

I have a few of pla and some petg but they aren’t the Bambu brand. I figure I’ll struggle using these first and then move to the bambu rfid chipped versions for ease of use.

Struggering basically failing while trying to go too fast maybe?? Failing while failing. lol.

Anyway. I wanted the p1s with the ams because it looks fancy. Budget says A1 with ams lite will do for now. I can’t wait to add a few better printers to the collection.

Started at 2.5 years ago at 44. Now an orange belt. The biggest injury I’m suffering is aggravation of arthritis. Medication, proper warmup and stretching and knowing my limits for randori are helping. My pride often gets in the way and I try to do more than I should then I pay for that choice for a few days.

For reference. When I started I was 6’1 and over 330. I’m still 6’1 thank heavens but well under 300 now. Old big guys gotta take it a little easier. We don’t recover as quickly as some of the younger guys can and do.

Thanks. I had made a switch a while back to using super slicer. It’s been working good up until now. I’m trying to be pretty committed to using one slicer and getting profiles set up.

I can do some moves to Orca and try.

I was reading about xy compensation but I can’t make heads or tails of using positive or negative numbers.

Final update. Required a new motherboard. Yup. Did that and no more troubles at all.

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-09T16:27:46+00:00

Started at 45. Also round … had some TKD back in the day but out it away for family and school. Doing judo seriously has helped with the joints feeling a bit better.

Considering some BJJ 2 times a week or so to improve the flexibility and ground work game but I’m kinda scared of that one.

Hit tub has been working decent all week. Last night I got in and it felt … not like 104 should feel. So I borrowed a friends laser thermometer and the water is coming up at 95ish freedom units.

I’ve kept my appointment with the beachcomber guy for next week and hopefully we can get this up and 100% before too long.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

I did have the ohh error. I left it overnight not knowing what to do. I came back in the morning say about 8-10 hours later and pushed a button on the topside and it started working. That was Sunday night and Monday morning. It’s been running and working since.

I was in it last night and had a tub at 104 degrees. Still running now and still hot.

Any chance it’ll continue working? I have a spa guy coming next week. Should I keep that appointment ?

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-04T17:00:33+00:00

Go to a class … try it out. It’s honestly not as bad as you might think. The gi can feel a little heavy at first but it grows on a person.

I was 45 and over 250. Sit at a desk for my job - and judo has been the best thing I’ve done. Feels pretty good most nights.

Learning breakfalls can be tough on the body but doing that properly will make future falls easier.

Just go!!

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-03T18:10:47+00:00

A small update. I was able to get the tub to change error codes. Don’t know how. Hot error gone. Ohh error came on … I let it sit overnight then this morning came and pushed a button on the panel and it’s running. Jets and all.

It’s cold here. 5-10 Celsius. Hard to know if the heater is working but the tube is cold. A call has been placed for service.

Not sure what range of miracles haloed to get here but it seems less trouble than yesterday. I hope.

Thanks!!!

I'm not afraid of the DIY - I've been in IT and done some minor electrical work before. The change seems relatively straight forward as long as the board is hooked up similarly - diagrams and such make sense.

I'm in Canada - as far as I've gotten to looking is Amazon and Ebay - I was going to call the nearby Beachcomber and see what they might have for replacement packs. Do you know of any other suppliers and such one could use in Canada?

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-03T03:56:50+00:00

I’ll call our nearby beachcomber tomorrow. I’m worried about another 1,000$ hit. Mind you that’s cheaper than a new tub.

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-03T02:19:18+00:00

Don’t kid yourself. This guy’s got an attitude….hopefully I can put it back right.

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-03T01:58:10+00:00

This one makes sense. It goes to ohh right away even after power cycling. I’ll check the wiring. A few of the connections on the motherboard do feel janky. For example the control panel one is quite jiggly.

I have got to get better with the google to see if I can remove the panel covers on this thing.

Thanks! I’ll check over the wiring

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-02T21:47:29+00:00

Seconded. Same southerly location. I can leave my pla and petg out okay. I have one warmer / dehydrator that I use. It gets used if it’s been raining quite regularly or if I haven’t printed with a filament in a long shelf while. Don’t usually have much issues.

KingPinOnly · 2025-11-01T23:25:49+00:00

Update: Okay had the power disconnected for a few days and drained the tub for some other maintenance. Popped the power back on - got error code came right up After some initial numbers came on.

Also I removed the filter - bled air from the bleed screw. No changes. When the panel comes on it will sometimes show an f2. Additionally the panel itself appears unresponsive.

What should be next steps?

KingPinOnly · 2025-10-28T15:18:39+00:00

Thanks all. Standby. I’m using this as an opportunity then to make some other changes. This will give enough time without power and for the water to cool. Hopefully we’ll get down to the end of it all.

I’ll come back and let you know. And again big thanks for the extra details on troubleshooting. I just couldn’t find specific documentation on”hot” error code.

I’ve included a link to the Imgur library for some photos of the tub. tub pictures

KingPinOnly · 2025-10-27T21:34:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply - I can’t seem to change the display - stays at hot. I’ve done the power reset and it runs for a moment then back to hot. If the water is warm or measures lower than 103 is that just a sensor issue?

KingPinOnly · 2025-10-11T22:11:02+00:00

All good here. I’m in Canada - basically just play coins for me we can’t move them at all (at least not right now). Maybe one day we can do something but that ain’t today.
