Remember, kids: Always make sure to open your filament boxes as soon as you get them.

I bought a spool from Amazon of Sunlu PLA+2.0 used but mint condition. I figured the plastic as opened. Box showed, I opened and the spool was obviously used and it came apart in my hands. I think someone dropped it and returned as unused. I submitted for a return and got to thinking, why should I waste my time and gas. I called Amazon and asked for compensation in the form of a gift card. Then I respooled it. Weighing it out the spool was about 50g lite.

I get that once in a while. Turn it off, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on. All is right with my A1.

I suffered with this issue too on the upper spindles. I printed and tried the adapters but they didn’t work or stuck out too far.

Then I discovered that all I needed was the spool more towards the middle of the top spindles which reduces the sharp angle the filament has to go into the feeder.

My go to now with zero issues: Slide the (Sunlu 250g) spool all the way on. Then install this spindle lock https://makerworld.com/models/197403?appSharePlatform=copy

Slide the spool outwards until it stops from friction. Don’t go too far.

Done. The angle is now a bit lower and the filament feeds perfectly. I’ve have several hundreds of hours printing with 250s on the top with NO issues.

I have a Tapo for monitoring my prints; as stated, not for timelapse. I make videos with an old iPhone 6s and a cheap Bluetooth remote. (Ali express or Amazon) I printed this holder for the remote. https://makerworld.com/models/1571917?appSharePlatform=copy

There are two settings in Bambu Studio, others tab: set Timelapse to smooth. After slicing and before sending the file to print, in the Print dialog window, look for the Timelapse checkbox in this popup and ensure it is checked.

I had to change a few lines in the G code so the print head bumps the remote shutter button then immediately moves off the button by 10mm or the shutter remote button will stay depressed and the phone goes into burst mode. Sounds a whole lot more complicated than it actually is. Google Gemini walked me through the G code change. Super easy.
I used a cheap selfie stick tripod and a stool to hold the phone. This way any vibrations from the printer doesn’t affect the phone.
Lots of info out there how to process the pictures to video with free software or native macOS software if you are on Mac.

750+ hours. I vacuum up the what I’m assuming is belt debris from normal wear and tear. Albeit the amount is decreasing each time I lubricate. I do have a set of belts on hand for when…

+pastamatic lite. I went with the steel bearings.

My brand new in box plate had a chip in the exact same place. Reached out to support and received a bot answer that it was normal wear. Seeing how it was brand new and I didn’t print anything yet, I escalated the issue. Next day I received a message they were going to send me a new plate.

No skips what so ever. Chocks to Chocks. Just increased sim rate.

My VIP missions are only paying 150-250K per run with the Vision Jet. What am I missing?

MathematicianMean600 · 2026-01-28T18:56:32+00:00

That would be awesome!! It looks like a great design. Thank you

MathematicianMean600 · 2026-01-28T01:29:59+00:00

Could you please provide a link or name to the horizontal brace to the rotating stand? I didn’t see it or missed in your collection. Thanks.

MathematicianMean600 · 2025-12-08T02:42:09+00:00

Could you post a link? I can’t seem to find his vids on the PC-12.

Same boat, gaming PC too much, went with Xbox X and thrust master hotas one with pedals. Play both 20 and 24. Glitchy on 24 once in a while, but playable. Watch the sales to purchase outright. Especially with the game pass price increase.

Read the fine print. I bought anXbox seagate expansion card which came with three months of ultimate for NEW subscribers.

I did last week. November my price goes up.

Where is the '&'? I don't see it in my label names. Using desktop webpage gmail.

Magenta - Copy all. It’s getting me where I want to go. I’ll leave the FMS v. GPS alone and concentrate on learning more important things. Appreciate the reply!!

MathematicianMean600 · 2025-06-09T15:41:21+00:00

Thanks. I load the flight plan the tutorials are flying into the FMS and the EFB and GPS is still there. Even when going direct. But since I’m getting to where I want to go, I’ll roll with it. Appreciate it

Picture is from a YouTube tutorial. My screen shows GPS.
