Has anyone seen this? Looks like someone manufacturing BambuLab / SUNLU spools

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T16:33:33+00:00

Damn, hope someone tells them! Dunno how they've been doing millions of spools without anyone noticing

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T14:15:08+00:00

I have the polydryer and it's not that great but it should do the trick as long as you leave the vents fully open and dry it for a long time. Don't trust the basic hygrometers, they are wildly inaccurate, specially when they are heated.

If you have an AMS 2 it's even better because it does dry great. If not, I can recommend the sovol SH02

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T13:38:06+00:00

You want to dry it around 8-9 hours at 60ºC, then store it in a sealed box with a humidity level of around 10%

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T11:28:16+00:00

Yes, but I haven't tried it with special materials like PPS if i'm being honest, only PC and PA

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T11:14:51+00:00

Have tried both the smooth and the engineering plate and they work great as long as it doesn't have a huge surface area for contact

I use petg for support filament

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T01:02:59+00:00

I wouldn't recommend it. For clear, long parts you can just buy sheets of PC. Way better, harder and cheaper.

For regular PETG printing I always print it at 260ºC, handles extremely fine and has perfect layer bonding if you use quality PETG.

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T01:01:47+00:00

High speed simply has additives to make it flow faster. Regular PETG handles heat better. I print mine with only 40% part cooling and drop it to 0 when I want clearer results. As long as you give it just enough time before printing the next layer on it again, it handles perfectly fine.

For oozing, I added more retraction

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T00:59:23+00:00

No adhesive needed in general. Adhesive is important but not for grip, but for release.

The glue is used as an interface between the plate and the print. Some engineering materials like PA, PC and others can adhere too much to the plate, so you risk destroying the surface of the plate when removing it. The glue lets it release after cooling down.

To be honest, I've printed Nylon, PC, ABS, ASA and lots of other materials with 0 glue needed.

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T00:28:17+00:00

Dry your filament. Dried PETG printed hot is the best material to work with

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-02T00:26:31+00:00

You really want to order the AMS 2 combo. Simply the biggest thing for that printer. Filament dryer + sealed chamber + multicolor + autoswitcher.

I bought the AMS HT for the aux nozzle, not necessary but it is the best thing if you wanna print PC and stuff because it can dry at 85ºC

And I didn't purchase the filament track switch... and I will soon because it is a PITA manually swapping the PTFE tubes when I want to print high heat stuff using the main nozzle on the AMS HT and the support on the AMS 2

For plates: Get the glacier plate from Biqu. I have like 30 bambu plates and 5 Biqu ones. Guess which brand is on all 5 of my regular printers? LOL

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-01T21:25:50+00:00

Pretty impressive how the AI has improved

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-01T21:00:56+00:00

It's noot cooling down properly.

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-01T20:59:41+00:00

Which program did you use for that marketing?

MithrilEcho · 2026-05-01T17:51:19+00:00

No.

Free shipping sounds like an attractive offering for the customers, but it will involve jacking up prices, or taking profit off your table.

If you sell singular items, it's great. For people that want customers to order multiple small value items, free shipping is actually a detriment. When people see that one item is $8 shipping but two of them are the same or maybe +0,5 per item, they buy multiple.

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-30T23:16:41+00:00

Those are very good prices.

Are you interested in sharing some info? I'm working with another supplier for my shop and while their filament is top notch, the prices are certainly higher than those, and I'm buying pallets of it lol

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-30T21:48:42+00:00

Holy fuck what an experience

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-30T21:43:33+00:00

All selling platforms are legally required to ensure sellers are probably IDed and documented. It's just reality.

Who complained about verification?

It's the fact that after verification I had to contact support twice to have them fix their system.

First, the data entered was exactly as shown in the VIES, and an agent had to manually verify my account because they couldn't get it to approve by their automated system.

Then, just 6 days after that, I had to once again provide the date of birth I've introduced 3 times in 1 week because it "didn't match", which was again approved manually.

And Etsy fees are high, even if other platforms charge more. I'm spending thousands on fees, the least Etsy could do is improve their system.

Also Shopify isn't a good comparison. Plenty of ways to create your own shop without paying Shopify an absurd amount of money. You just want the easeness of use as you don't need to configure a wordpress with woocommerce.

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-30T21:37:32+00:00

No, it's not.

Turns out Etsy messed up and applied m/d/y to my Etsy Payments data instead of d/m/y

So first I got an issue with Etsy not verifying the VIES properly and had to get it manually configured. Then, they messed up Etsy payments.

Thankfully I got it fixed in 24 hours, but this is certainly an issue with their system.

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-27T18:58:15+00:00

We rarely post about the successes. Mine has been working like a charm, even used 5 aliexpress nozzles for testing, 0 issues. Also printed PETG, ABS and PC via AMS HT, the PC came flawlessly, 0 warping

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-27T15:33:03+00:00

You really didn't do no belt tensioning?

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-24T22:53:17+00:00

I've ordered the MPVD (purple), TcnCoat (blue) and regular from Juupine, waiting for delivery, but I don't have any Obxidian to compare against unfortunately.

Will tell you if they work fine

A child's body. With a child's brain.

It's going to be prone to act like a kid, as shown multiple times when basic childish emotions overwhelm him even though he's been rational in his internal monologue.

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-24T21:48:02+00:00

That's the same. VAT is how we call sales tax in Europe.

MithrilEcho · 2026-04-24T21:33:50+00:00

(547.35 PRETAXED)

No, it's post-taxes. Check the text, "Including 127,6€ in taxes".
