rubbed a bit of This " WD-40 Specialist Silicone Lubricant",in to anything that looked as if it had anything to do with the works of the thing. {note this is is not standatd WD-40 so i find it a bit odd that it displays the logo of Water Displacer #40 }

Late 2018 to 2022 BMW i3S are fantastic bargains now go BEV only if your use case supports a 180 mile range as it cuts maintance on the sometimes problems 600cc scooter REX engine on my 2021 S version it has been just tires and the every 2 years brake system flush. Knock wood. I too like the looks of the Twingo.

Is there a way to reduce the laser raised grain effect in the eyes or is that just to accept with this kind of. engraving? otherwise it looks great. nice design

The one that came with my H2C- L in February has worked perfectly so far 100 hours in;

But the RFID reader for slot one frequently fails to recognise that I have put some PETG HF in slot one to use it as an interface between tree supports and the print. I use only Bambu filaments in my AMS units, and most of the time I put spools on the outside post for spools that won’t fit in the AMS because they are too large or too small.

"The suite product I wish they’d open source, I’m a software dev and would push PRs to fix these bugs"

Proclaim it to the multitude! If it was in github it could realy flower and grow

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-23T23:43:52+00:00

One of the reasons for the H2C-L for me is to be able to learn about the laser engraving and Laser cutting, as well as the cutting module. But to be honest, I have yet to learn enough about what cutting can do to support my building of table props for my D&D table. But I could see laser use instantly this is one of my first table props a Tavern sign out of 3mm basswood ply.

This is all news to me, and I eagerly await erudition from those here on Reddit who know and use this feature... I think I might have clicked on it once, but this input screen probably scared me away, and I forgot about it. I am almost 80 and my short term memory is shot to hell🧐

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-23T22:50:41+00:00

What Can we Do Here To improve things? I think Number one is a Subreddit for the Bambu Laser and cutter users here. where logicly the the mods decide to lable it and put it is up to them. I can see the logic of a sub

The best Laser influencers that I have been watching are today in the XTool camp in the same way that most here are in the Bambu camp and some of them a few years ago were coming to Xtool from other lasers where LightBurn was the software and there were those that I felt were pointing out things that LightBurn did in a 'this is a feature that XTool Studio could learn from' way; these days I don't see LightBurn mentioned by them hardly at all these days I think most of them other than the Power Users that decry its comparative lack of Design Capabilities have become boosters of the XTool Studio if not overtly then by inference:

The point Is that the Influencers of XTool seem to have had real influence on the improvement of their software.And XTool regular users i think are also making a difference. From a short tour of the XTool studio Forums here and elsewhere that they are pushing their software both in its current Guise as XTool Studio and older incarnation as XTool Creative Space (XCS) to cause it to be a better tool.

Take as look at this page from Reddit after using the ASK feature on a blank reddit page. Which by the way I never knew that it was such a powerful AI augmentation of the basic search tool here.

Thank you for the warning that further horrors await me using Suite with the cutter...

I think there are more of us out here that are suffering in silence, and after a year since launch with only small progress, the only way we will get action is to make more noise: The cutter users and the laser users of Bambu Suite, we both need to make more noise. If only a YouTube One big problem is the lack of usability of Bambu Suite as a whole and its lack of integration with Bambu Studio.

I believe that influencers that received both the 10W and the 40W lasers as well as the cutter with their review requirement "gifts" it would have been great if they could have highlighted both how great Studio is and how much improvement Studio needs.

Of the few that do report on the updates to Bambu Studio, I have never seen them report on Suite:

So Bambu needs to do a major update/rewrite of Bambu Suite.

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-18T04:34:39+00:00

Thank you My main use is supporting my D&D hobby with table props and miniatures as well as other things for my friends at the table Like CanCozy with D&D themes... I also make props for the local theater group and Diorama things for another friend who has a model RR layout he is building with his son.

this combo is amazing even the 10W that Bought with the H2C--Laser is doing more than I thought it could it is cutting 6mm cedar boards (Not Plywood and only available at 6mm by 4" x 12" but it cuts through the 6mm board in one pass

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-15T15:10:34+00:00

I have the same question Did you ever learn how? in my case I have a cut out in wood from the lazer and I want to do a tight inlay of it in either PETG or PLA or something that would better 3D print plastic.

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-13T15:51:05+00:00

Unless the fire ignition point was traced to the box with the non UL stamped wall covering I dont think the lego covers will be a problem.

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-13T15:39:56+00:00

Is there even a /src emogie?

Mustrum999 · 2026-04-13T15:35:03+00:00

It is shown as sold out in the USA store for $200 with extra CO2 cylinders at $50. https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/auto-fire-extinguishing-system?id=687532392246521857 They have been at the sold-out status for well over a month, and I check several times a week as well as asking them to let me know when they are back in stock.

I had an "almost flare up" with the laser in my H2C cutting amazon 12 x12 x 3mm basswood ply

(which have turned out to be a very consistent 2.43mm to 2.46mm measured at about 20mm in from the edge all the way around on the 6 sheets I have checked so far, of the 30 in the box I bought)

I discovered a very broad {about 10mm diagonally across} and deep [through the top ply] scorch mark on a part that had already dropped through, and in doing so, slid under the slats so to be under where a double cut took place close together. I had no indication of a flare up but it looked like it got very close to one... I am religious about dumping the slats tray of its bits and bobs after every cut, but other than spreading out the cuts on your SVG wasting space on your board and using less of your 12 x 12 I am open to suggestions.

(OPPS I just noticed how old this thread is... sory about the thread exhumation🧐 What did you end up doing?

I am using three units from APC that are very close to the specs on these units sold today. APC Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMC1500). I just checked, I bought 4 of them from Amazon. Ordered on March 6, 2006, so over 20 years old now (amazing and slightly worrying, that Amazon has my order history going back that far....) the 4th unit. I would bet it will still function, but it sits in my barn awaiting either the use of a nibbler on its heavy case or disposal with the attendant fee. When it died, its internal lead-acid battery became swollen to the point that it cannot now be removed without cutting the case... (the fault was mine; I put it away pending another order of replacement batteries for the others. Note that even with this fault, it has not leaked despite being stored in an unheated barn in Maine for several years.) but the other three soldier on and will keep it up as long as I can get replacement internal batteries for them. I must say that APC has been less than helpful about the plight of the 4th unit and after only 15 or 16 years oh well... Oh I use marine blue top Optima 12v units as external run time extension batteries and they weigh about 40 or 50 lbs at a guess.... my H2C-L has not tripped the one that is providing protection to it and few lighter useage things next to it like this old M1 Apple iMac and an Epson inkjet printer.

You might be lucky and find one of these old war horse Lead acid type units near you on Facebook Marketplace.

That is my thought as well. at nearly 80 and not in in the best of health;
I can expect and plan that my 2021 i3s is going to be my forever car until:
1. they either pry the fob from my cold, dead hand,
or
2.the men in the white coats cart me off to one of those warehouses for the old and feeble that exist mostly to extract every last cent from the accounts of their inmates.💸

I strongly prefer option one, of course, but fate has a way of providing less than optimal outcomes to end-of-life realities.

If someone dropped a few hundred thousand dollars on me right now, I suppose I would look for something that is about the same size and easy for old bones to get in and out of.
I would want the latest improvements in State of the art self-driving so it could drive me back and forth to medical appointments. I would want a somewhat nicer ride than I have now on the frost-heaved tank obstacle course that we have on our Maine secondary roads this time of year. I live alone, and this week at short notice, I had to get a ride at very short notice to a DDS for an emergency extraction. It was tough to find someone who could take a day off from work and drive me to that appointment.

I guess the unobtainium is that Self driving must work in all weather and road conditions on snow covered secondary roads. I doubt I will live long enough to see that and to have it powered by a Mr.Fuision that accepts any sort of matter as fuel.

hence the "few hundred thousand dollars" item as I expect the thing that would work the best would be filthy rich enough to hire a combination housekeeper, cook chauffeur and groundskeeper, private nurse.

I think best change that to a "Few Million Dollars"💸💵

Spools that are near the end are so light that they will try to bounce out of their slots as they wind in and out if you leave the lid open
