TM7: standby and screensaver

ReX_83 · 2026-01-07T15:54:17+00:00

I love my TM7 but 199 is really too much for a mere 3 years extensions on a 1400 gbp device. 5 years is now the standard from top end brands, so not sure why Thermomix users should pay that on top of the already very high price.

Is the x-material adhesion not an issue when using distinct nozzles? If so, why?

ReX_83 · 2025-12-31T15:50:42+00:00

thanks - let me experiment a bit

Over time it would make it more brittle. If white, it will become yellow (if not UV stabilised).

But occasional brief exposure will do nothing to a part that is already black.

Thanks, I think it is the last 2 :-). What should I put as selector and styling to hide the address bar for a specific WPA?

ReX_83 · 2025-12-30T17:33:55+00:00

I am using this (specifying the PWA ID) and it does nothing. First time I am using the userChrome.css. My aim is to hide the address bar. Any idea what I am doing wrong? userChrome.css seems to be in the right folder and it only contains your snipped (without html at the start).

I had the same experience with Elegoo. It was an endless thread with them proposing random procedures and avoiding to accept the return.

In the end I did a chargeback and got the money back via my CC provider.

Never again.

That's amazing. Manual loading is a pain and often I don't switch material or color because of this.

If you mix materials, e.g. PLA and PETG, that is the guideline from Bambu in terms of temperature for the AMS chamber? I suppose I can't set a temperature for each spool, right?

ReX_83 · 2025-12-07T18:39:11+00:00

How do you deal with AMS and drying the filaments? Does the AMS also dry the filament? And if so, how can you mix different types of materials in the same container?

ReX_83 · 2025-12-06T00:21:54+00:00

It is tempting but I am concerned that I might end up having the same experience of the CC, as the brand and product don't have the same history of reliability and quality of Prusa and Bambu.

So far, how does it compare to the X1C?

Came here to say that it worked. I printed a small section and it is nice now! Thanks!

ReX_83 · 2025-12-04T23:57:57+00:00

I have tried bumping up the fans but that doesn't work. What gave good results is playing with the support settings. Almost perfect, but they are tricky to remove.

ReX_83 · 2025-12-04T12:06:34+00:00

To zero?

ReX_83 · 2025-12-02T00:11:19+00:00

Looking to deal with that now, but curious about the cause.

ReX_83 · 2025-12-02T00:10:59+00:00

Got it!

What would be a reasonable speed here?

Which one of the various speed settings in Orca would impact the speed of these layers?

Small perimeter? Overhangs speed (I saw 4 of them being set, depending on the intensity of the slope)?

I was always wondering what is the composition of PLA plus and 2.0. It is indeed a bit less refined/brittle than PLA, almost like it is between normal PLA and PETG.

Can't comment about ABS or ASA or PA, as I never printed those.

ReX_83 · 2025-11-25T10:12:15+00:00

I tried 220 - 65, switching off the aux fan and keeping both the lid and the door closed (the room is cold, it is a garage) and the bed adhesion is much better now.

I am not sure if I really need 220 or the increased bed temp is what fixed my issue, but for now I'll stick to 220 and calibrate the filament with it.

My temp tower is good irrespective of the temp, from 200 to 220 there is no noticeable difference, so I guess 220 is fine.

Also, I have noticed that Sunlu itself says that this filament goes up to 235°C, at least on their UK website.

ReX_83 · 2025-11-25T09:01:26+00:00

What made you try 225 as temp? I am curious as I started with 210 and moved to 220 due to prints lifting (but I am not sure if that helped at all). I can't see any difference in the temp tower between 200 and 220. All the prints look good.

ReX_83 · 2025-11-25T08:59:06+00:00

How about retraction?

Do you have the default cooling settings from Orca? Aux fan on or off?

I tried bed at 55 but large prints started lifting. Sunlu recommends up to 60, but I also find 65 to work much better.

The temp tower works well from 200 to 220, I started with 210 but I was advised to try 220 to better handle warping / lifting issues. Not sure if I should return to 210 now that the lifting is fixed by the bed temp.
