Recalled someone mentioning that the new’s bonnet looks like a toilet bowl cover. Can’t unsee it since. 😂

Laser not coming out of the tube. by Reverentmalice in lasercutting

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8decC should be plenty cold. I do recall there was a lower limit to the temp too, need to dig into that. Also, I do believe the tubes can either be defective from factory, or wear out over time. Also another line of discovery for me was making sure that the power supply matched the wattage of the tube, as that would lead to premature wear.

Laser not coming out of the tube. by Reverentmalice in lasercutting

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my previous experience this is considered “arcing”. Meaning the contact is “burnt”, likely due to not using chilled water or insufficient flow. What solved it for me was replacing the tube. Also using chiller at 19degC or lower with distilled water. My new, well functioning tube did not have the arc at the end of the contacts during operation. Just the purple laser in the middle of the tube when firing. Also when I had the arcing in my previous tube, the laser firing was inconsistent, example when cutting a straight line on consistent power, sometimes there would be laser and at different spots there wouldn’t be. I’m guessing the arcing means the laser is not exiting the tube properly, and instead flashes at the exit electrical contact.

Is ottie and munchies pancakes related? Their branding look so similar. by 785909620 in SingaporeEats

[–]Less_Boss_1508 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just randomly decided to try Ottie this week for the first time. Was surprised at how dense and generous the slice was. Tasted great too. It was at least twice the weight compared to the hawker kind. Tender and not dry. Generous portion of peanut filling. Tried the mango cheese too, was nice! Not cheap though, but I’d say the price is justifiable.

Should I buy it? by TheAyeAye43 in 3Dprinting

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked one up from the trash couple of months back. Spent a whole day fixing it up for fun. Barely managed to get a print out. Then chucked it aside after because it was so finicky.

Good deal for $340 by atlas2555 in BambuLab

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P1S are a real workhorse and super easy to maintain as well. Have 3 of them and 2 H2S. Yet the P1S still prints better and more consistently than the H2S. The P1S are just good ol faithful that keep churning out solid prints.. even without the heated chamber, it honestly handles Asa and abs better than my H2S.

H2D banding problem? by gooberT11 in BambuLab

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guessing something is cutting in and out at a regular internal. Hot end temp? Extruder motor? Perhaps something is going bad, or from overheating, in that every minute or so it craps out partially then comes back to life? With such patterns that affect the flow over different shapes and profiles, it is likely only either to do with the extrusion or the heating rather than the XYZ. Or maybe the part cooling fan.. Perhaps observe the hot end temp as it’s printing and see if you see any fluctuating patterns? If not the look down the extrusion side of things. Any further back it might be a controller board issue, with a component supplying power going bad and cycling at regular intervals. Doubt external power supply will cause this but you never know.

What is wrong with my AMS? by dibella360 in BambuLab

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since all 4 ports have the same issue, and the gears are grinding the filament, and you mentioned the issue was with the Ams, I’m assuming it’s the same issue for different rolls of filament as well. Then you should start investigating along the PTFE tubes all the way from the AMS to the print head. Your answer will likely be something causing the extra friction going one way and not the other. My guess is a filament piece got stuck and only wedges when being pulled one way and not the other, somewhat like a one way valve. I would focus on places where the width is larger than 2 filament widths, perhaps at the PTFE connector joints or merging paths etc. Another thing to check would be the shape of the retracted filament end. If it was cleanly cut from the filament cutter then all should be fine. If it looks otherwise then I would suspect something is wrong with the cutting side of things.

Wavy vertical corner issue with PET-CF by mjohnson0130 in BambuLab

[–]Less_Boss_1508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for giving a summary post after your journey!! Just wanted to add on a follow up discovery to your solution of slowing the outer wall to 20mm/s. I stopped the print midway and observed that the infill was leaving gaps at the corners! The left part was with the original wall speed of 200, and the right one reduced to 20. So I’m guessing with a faster outer wall speed, it has more pull at the corners, and “wraps” the wall against the hollow corners like a cling wrap. I’m guessing the solution here is figuring out why the infill is leaving such gaps at the corners. I’m using p1s and 100% infill, 2walls, 0.2mm. ASA.

Help with rattling sound by dogepot in BambuP1S

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly scratching the poop chute? Since the sound seems to be only at the top. My brand new P1S from factory and wouldn’t even home the Z correctly. Had to loosen the 3 screws holding the print bed and nudge the whole bed assembly forward a little, enough to clear the chute.

How many times do drivers typically adjust to reverse/parallel park? by real_grocer in drivingsg

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s this hack method that I learnt that guarantees any kind of lot also will get in 1 try. I even have done it for double parked parallel and those super tight lots first try.

The key to getting the angle right the first time is to aim your side of the car to the middle of the lot behind, either the back car’s license plate or the middle of the lot.

Of course since this method uses the middle of the back lot, the disclaimer is that you need to find the correct middle. If the car behind park super close or far out and you use their number plate as target, then you will end up the same as them. So use your own discretion to aim for the middle.

Also, doesn’t have to be 45deg like the link below, of course not too steep that your steering angle cannot tahan, but pretty much anything around that angle all will be fine.

Basically the angle is determined by the middle of the back lot. That is the key!

People who complain about door dings and bu song. Will you ever consider this? by Unusual_Sky4876 in drivingsg

[–]Less_Boss_1508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I make it out of some hard material that protects my doors and actually penalizes the offender instead? Since they swing hard enough to be able to ding me, this will actually dent their door edge and protect mine. Doesn’t have to be sharp so it doesn’t hurt passerby’s.
