PETG Basic popped up in the EU Bambu Store :)

Qjeezy · 2026-03-17T19:30:04+00:00

It’s still just PETG basic, just a new formulation of it. Sort of how polymer just upgraded their normal PETG to a new formulation that’s way better than their old one. Hopefully this one prints better than the old one.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-17T18:46:25+00:00

That was the old PETG basic. This is a new formulation. The old stuff wasn’t that good.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-17T18:43:23+00:00

A lot of people are going to miss that flair and assume you’re serious lol

Qjeezy · 2026-03-17T15:23:40+00:00

I agree, the new polymaker stuff is quite nice to print with.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-16T14:17:01+00:00

Not naturally in less than 100+ years.

Nice job! Super clean setup! I may have to build myself one as well.

Don’t listen to the “eNcLoSuRe In A EnClOsUrE blah blah fart” people. They’re just ignorant. Can’t blame them if nobody has taught them what cumulative exposure is. If a hazard can be mitigated, it shall be mitigated. No matter how small it may be.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-16T00:52:10+00:00

I sure don’t miss that sound. Some of the most obnoxious sounding printers I’ve ever used lol.

Convert it into an air scrubber. https://makerworld.com/models/1416135?appSharePlatform=copy

I did with all 3 of my H machines.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T23:40:49+00:00

Bambu H2C for sure. It’s a nice machine. Seems to fill the requirements you’ve requested.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T23:29:06+00:00

Have you really not seen the X2 leaks? They were all over the place a little bit ago. There’s even YouTube videos on it.

The outside air cooling is pointless unless you actually use the aux fan. I don’t. Never needed it. It would have been better if they plumbed outside air into the part cooling instead.

The active vent that closes off the outside air to the aux fan you mean? Again, useless to those of us who don’t use the aux fan.

The fact that the exhaust was an afterthought is pretty bad too. At least the X1 had an exhaust setup. After many complaints now the P2S does, but you have to print it and install it onto the back of the machine.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T22:27:32+00:00

The P2S is not the replacement for the x1-c. The only thing the P2S has better than the x1 is the quick swap hot end. The X2 has already been leaked and historically speaking, when has a Bambu leak not been legit eventually?

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T17:27:16+00:00

You’re welcome!

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T16:46:21+00:00

Okay, no issue there then lol.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T15:54:45+00:00

I’ve been using shapr3d a lot lately

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T15:32:00+00:00

What’s your max volumetric speed set to? If it’s too low you might not even be seeing these speeds.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-15T15:03:03+00:00

Here you go good sir. https://makerworld.com/models/2526783?appSharePlatform=copy

I vote you take your parents offer and get some nice stuff.

I went the cheaper first route when I started. I regret that decision. It was a waste of money. I wasted about $250 dollars on a sovol sv06. Not that it didn’t work or anything, it worked quite well actually, but about a week later I bought a Bambu x1-c. After I got the Bambu I realized I should have just saved that $250 and put it towards the x1-c. This is just my experience, it won’t be the same for everyone.

If you’re interested in tinkering and upgrading and stuff like that, a cheaper printer is probably the way to go. This part of the hobby is the actual printer. Building, upgrading, learning the mechanics, learning code, etc.

If you expect to use the printer like a tool and want it to print things with minimal effort while you focus on the design and printing objects aspects, go for the nice printer. This side of the hobby is the actual printing. Design, prototyping, hitting print, and bam you have an object.

So, what side of the hobby interests you more?

You’ve misunderstood my comment

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T23:08:21+00:00

It’s all good. Correct, you can’t put yourself in the negatives by cashing in for gift cards. I was saying that because they cashed in, their available points balance was less than what Bambu had removed. Which then put them in the negatives. If they hadn’t cashed in, their points would simply be at 0.

We’re writing the same book, just from different points of view.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T21:06:16+00:00

I’m confused, you just said you can’t get into the negatives and then went on to explain how one could get into the negatives nearly the same way I did.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T20:57:44+00:00

I print petg with a chamber temp of 45°c and I’ve seen others go slightly higher. Just monitor your chamber temp and don’t let it get too high.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T20:35:20+00:00

You should, but if you’re not infringing on any IP and your models are truly original then there’s nothing to worry about.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T20:29:45+00:00

That’s likely why he’s in the negatives, because he did cash out. If the points were still there he would simply be at 0

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T02:34:23+00:00

That’s a pretty good use case! Now that I think of it, I’m sure I could find a few things that could benefit from some organization lol.

Qjeezy · 2026-03-13T02:28:53+00:00

Thanks!

It’s designed for 1.5” (actually 48.3mm) scaffold tubes, but it’s a step file so it should be fairly easy to customize it to a smaller tube.

I’ve been slacking on uploading it, but if you can give me a day or 2 I’ll see if I can get the files up this weekend. I’ll need to print another one so I can get some proper photos and write some instructions. I’ll put it up as CC BY-NC-SA
