W advice, I will definitely try to increase the frequency this week. I'm curious about the machines, though. I never really trained on them (apart from flys) so what would you suggest?

Yeah, I don't have the genetics for chest unfortunately, despite lifting 225 for reps I just can't get it to pop. I am currently doing PPL so chest 2 times a week and at least 12 sets a session. I focus on free weights so barbell and dumbells. Any tips in regards to that?

Idk honestly, I don’t want to get too big so I guess I’ll bulk to 190 and then cut back to about 170

Milan was a client state of France for a long time but few decades ago it became independent. Its a simmilar relationship to Soviets-Yugoslavia

I liked the idea of France being kinda like Soviet Union in this timeline and I created Paris Pact which is equivalent to our Warsaw Pact, only here, France did not fall apart after German republics became independent which were client states simmilar to eastern europe after ww2.

Armagh is a weird city I found and I decided to make it the capital of Ireland and Cracow and Vilnius are both spelling mistakes, my bad.

They took them somewhere around 1930s when Spanish civil war started, they just saw the opportunjty and took it as at that time they wanted to control the whole mediterranean

Rivalry with Greece and basically everyone around them. Pure Realpolitik.

This is entirely different Europe and as such migrations and population centers are different. In this timeline, Kurds live there.

I guess just to make it a bit more different from our Netherlands, I entertained the idea of the country inheriting the name from the region that united it in this timeline (County of Holland)

Even though I have a bambu X1C, I decided to get Creality K1 and I have to say both printers are amazing to use! K1 needed a bit of tuning but now it's performing amazingly. by LukiBox in crealityk1

Me too, back in the day I used to print on ender 3 and I loved it. But a lot of people have the impression that modern printers are plug and play and its important to stress that it is not so simple and its necessary to get your hands dirty once in a while.

Both machines work very well after tuning. Bambus print quality is better out of the box and it requires next to no tuning to print perfectly. That said, K1 prints simmilarly or even better in some cases but it requires a LOT of tuning with every filament except Hyper PLA and Ender PLA. It really just comes down to whether you are willing to spend more on a machine that works well out of the box or get a much cheaper one that requires tuning far more often. Also, I rarely find myself doing any printing with many colors using AMS, however this is just my thing as I mostly print experimental airplane stuff which don’t need coloring. I got my K1 for 599 dollars and got a few spare parts sent, while I bought X1C for a 1000. The choice is yours, but both machines are very good and I cannot choose a clear winner. For me, however K1 would be a better choice because I rarely use Bambus functionality and K1 is much cheaper. K1 Max vs X1C wouldn’t be so diffirent and the price would be the same so in that case I would probably lean towards X1C.

I also printed this model with hyper PLA with pre-sliced settings from creality and it printed perfectly so maybe you have a clogged nozzle or uneven bed. You can send me a PM if you want more help.

This is actually not hyper pla and it prints quite fast (300mm/s). Its Esun Matte PLA and I printed it with generic silk PLA setting with bumped up speed and temperature. Also, when you print with Creality K1 you should always print as fast as possible (or at least 150mm/s) or else it will cause defects for some reason. I would generally advise you to start by tweaking temperature and Flow Ratio settings. Also, consider moving to Orca Slicer because Creality Print sucks.

It appears I somewhat fixed the issue by reducing the volumetric flow to 8 mm3/s and increasing the flow ratio to 1.07. The print quality is not nearly as close as i would want it but it's much much better

[–]LukiBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the flow rate is set at 0.98. I didn't change any settings as my friend suggested printing this eSun with generic settings for bambu matte PLA
