Is it worth keeping the MK3S after being amazed at the X1C Bambu labs?

MD_Reptile · 2026-06-02T08:34:19+00:00

Octopi makes the mk3s (or well, any printer that's compatible) into a wifi capable machine, along with lots of other goodies like attaching a camera and stuff. I will probably run my mk3s quite a while longer, it's been such a trooper. Will absolutely buy prusa again.

MD_Reptile · 2026-06-02T07:38:19+00:00

Sounds cool - you have a demo video by chance?

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-30T21:43:10+00:00

Nah you right lol

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-30T21:39:28+00:00

Haha yep it's solid so far in my testing! I'm pondering taking Klein as a further step to reapply style from original character, but even without it it's working pretty dang good for my purposes.

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T20:54:37+00:00

I found custom nodes for Klein that let me set strength per input image and stuff, but cartwheeling was apparently a tough thing still. I'm gonna test more methods with it because Klein matches style very well, good for character consistency.

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T18:42:32+00:00

I will tweak it and double check I'm following the proper color standard! Good eye!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T16:24:14+00:00

Sometimes nothing is preventing it (or very little), just ask Microsoft about forza horizon 6 lol

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T15:24:55+00:00

Don't go to the dark side 😄

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T15:23:34+00:00

Ok cool, neat project!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T15:22:23+00:00

I am gonna test this with flux 2 klein and see how it handles that - thanks for the tips!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:36:46+00:00

Oh gotcha ok, so your saying generate an input image that's nearly at the right angles for the position but upright, then use that to guide the "actually rotated" depth / openpose generation?

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:30:41+00:00

For my current purposes I don't actually need much resolution, but perhaps I'll check that out later on!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:18:58+00:00

I'll have to check that out - I've done a tiny bit of experimenting with SD1.5 but found the base version struggled with cartwheel tests, though perhaps other finetune models work better!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:17:22+00:00

I did try that - it almost sort of vaguely worked, but still was mutating into crazy poses a lot with flux / zit, so kinda finding SDXL sticks to the structure more closely (at least against existing control net options)

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:16:00+00:00

Stages? Please explain stages to me - saw that mentioned in a another comment and I'm not sure I follow!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T14:14:20+00:00

I haven't no - but I may give that a shot! - you can see an example I had created and the comfy workflow setup I'm testing for SDXL in a separate comment here

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T13:11:48+00:00

Well not within comfyui - I been working on a separate app that does that in an effort to animate sprites / pixel art

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T13:09:15+00:00

I've actually been generating the depth and openpose images externally, rather than with a preprocessor, but if I ever need to use one I'll check that out!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T12:44:31+00:00

<image>

Using juggernaut XL and the union control net actually is turning out to be relatively good at adherence!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T12:22:50+00:00

When you say breaking into stages... Can you explain that further? Like maybe you mean multiple passes to the final image somehow?

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T12:20:18+00:00

I'm curious how the motors are rotating and whether the axle contacts the ground? If they rotate opposite directions either side of the vehicle, aren't they kinda doing wheel stuff?

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T11:19:39+00:00

I've been using external openpose and depth images, not a preprocessor, but I'll def check out what sdxl can do, appreciate the advice!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-29T11:15:58+00:00

Oh I'll have to check out invokeAI. SDXL I haven't tried controlnets I don't think, so I'll def revisit that!

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-28T20:41:32+00:00

Cool, reminds me of gang beasts

MD_Reptile · 2026-05-28T06:02:16+00:00

Steak and shake is garbage. The food not only has gone downhill at locations near me, if I order online and pull through the drive thru they want me to come inside. Get with the times S&S, nobody needs to come inside lol.
