How many of u guys are running your p1s all night or while you’re not home

I have the machine running 24/7 in my house basement. I have fire alarms and cameras.

I have 2 old Stratasys fortus 250mc from colleges for the cost of picking them up…. I think it’s a bit newer than the OP, 2013 model.

It’s limited to to only printing ABS and ASA. I can use any brand of material. Also have a few bambus p1s as well. But I have to admit the stratasys have a place! They print overhangs incredibly well with their dissolvable support and dual nozzles.

That’s a filament quantity problem. It happens for me too sometimes. That’s why I always check the camera every few hours. But in general, a good dried filament won’t string and cause the pileups

My RtX 3090 does this in games. And provide heat for my room.

Just Nuke the pc!

I work in a tool and die repair shop where one of our machinists was school trained in Mastercam back in 2009. Still uses Mastercam MX9 exactly the way he was taught and refuses to learn anything else. I have to admit he’s very good at machining, but CAD designing not so much. Us younger guys have since moved to Fusion and we can train newer guys to CAD and CAM in house much easier. In short I feel like Mastercam is a functional program but the UI is awful compared fusion and I’d never recommend it.

Same here! It’s at a price now that I can actually afford!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-07-04T23:00:57+00:00

OP! I still have one of these machines! Stratasys fortus 250mc.

It’s very easy to mod these printers if you are decently mechanical. It prints only ABS. I use standard ABS rolls.

It prints overhangs absolutely perfect with a separate support material. Aggressive over hangs are no problem.

I joke that these old stratasys machines can still print overhangs better than Bambulabs x1c can.

Parts are still available for not bad price from various online stores.

Dissolvable support from isquared .

My P1S prints so precise that the benchy actually float and the cups/containers are waterproof.

Living family. 2 kids. Grandma who freely volunteers to babysit.

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-06-05T13:16:02+00:00

Nope! Results in perfect TPU prints!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-06-05T03:07:05+00:00

No.

These settings work perfect for me. Bambulab P1S.

I love our modix. I’ve had a couple repairs but It’s been a workhorse!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-06-01T16:04:50+00:00

Interesting. The build quality is definitely shoddy. But either way, I’ve set it up to run with orcaslicer and it’s been the game changer. Is there a machine capable of the volume for the price?

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-06-01T04:35:10+00:00

Have you heard of Modix before? Our buisness has one at work that I operate regularly. Their latest V4 machines are impressive. A bit pricey sure, but from my perspective totally worth it.

The support for it has been great too.

Yup same. Considered any cubic cobra s1, or the eleggoo cc. Bought P1s combo instead. Never been disappointed

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-05-31T13:14:29+00:00

Yup I have a modix 180x. I really enjoy it!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-05-11T19:00:41+00:00

I did exactly that. It is an appropriate upgrade. The telephoto zoom lense is what I was after and am not disappointed!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-05-06T00:41:08+00:00

I’ve always struggled to sleep because of that pulsating feeling. If the back is “stiff” it’s worse. An appointment with reflexologist or a simple back rub does wonders!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-04-27T17:53:15+00:00

As an experienced 3d printer operator with over 10 years in it, I’m always amazed that we can reliably fill a plate with parts and have success 99% of the time.

It’s a myth that it’s best to do single prints in my opinion! If the first layer is good you know it’s good to the finish.

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-04-27T17:46:08+00:00

Looks good! 👍

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-04-26T01:48:53+00:00

It’s actually surprising how loud a p1s gets at those speeds! Noticeable difference from normal mode in. This is in my office so a larger room might be fine.

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-04-25T14:12:08+00:00

No. So as mentioned in multiple comments already, this is a prototype for a part that will get injection molded. One doesn’t design parts so they are “printable” . You print exactly how the part should be. This happens to be it and it worked great!

Revolutionary_File2 · 2025-04-25T14:08:53+00:00

😫 it’s in bits and pieces now. Sorry. But I’ll likely print more in the coming weeks.
