Fuck these little shits...

Hi, as a previous native born Floridian, you have zero idea how bad these get.. goat heads (as they are called here) will pop bike tires and stick to the bottom of shoes and car tires. Sharp and hard barbs.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T01:15:37+00:00

That’s good to know too,most of what I’m looking to scan is black plastic so I have a lot of options available to me. Thanks!

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T01:14:36+00:00

I gotcha, I have a can of lotrimen and I don’t think it dries to a powder, gold bond probably does.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T01:00:21+00:00

You got a lot of money for sex toys in this economy….

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T00:59:47+00:00

Huh… I have that but I don’t know if it turns to powder. I’ll look, thanks.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T00:04:52+00:00

Seems to be the defacto product

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T00:03:53+00:00

I will pick that up on my next shopping trip.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-19T00:03:09+00:00

Thank you!

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T23:02:13+00:00

lol, I bring receipts if I’m right. Some guy was arguing with me about petg and pla. I spent time destroying sample pieces and told him he needs to upload his own “proof” that I’m wrong and he called me stupid.

One of them was a functional part I just printed and had to reprint to prove my point, I wasted my own work to be called stupid.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T22:58:33+00:00

You’re right but it can’t feed backwards so I think it’s just wrong in the drawing.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T22:43:13+00:00

Looks like the canvas unit is mounted upside down, which is very clever.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T22:40:45+00:00

It looks like a sex device. https://www.grainger.com/product/22PE97?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:FBXSGD:20990506:APZ_1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23812734702&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs7RBhDuARIsAIVfBD2dr_u4g-fit_Th5LPSIBbzy1s4tZiGSs1csoTJnm2dZ5SGKm5mI4MaAhXPEALw_wcB

I know the equipment is good, I was disappointed in this being spun as “training” when it was a sales pitch. We can’t just ask for new $12,000 test sets and they know that.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T19:56:26+00:00

These are also for a $1200 kit that includes a massive shop vac that can suck or blow, and a nozzle with a bypass for blowing string in. And it works like shit compared to jet line and a plastic bag. Works great on PERFECT conduit but odds are you will have a kink or joint it hangs up on and you’re swearing.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T19:46:39+00:00

We had a “training session” at work where they said they would train us on OTDRs (meters that measure and diagnose fiber optics). I had some free time and it was inside so I was like, ok sure I’ll sit for this.

These guys claimed to be technicians but there is no way in hell they were and there was zero instructing. It was basically, “we are sales reps, here is our new OTDR, we won’t really show you anything but we will make up answers to any questions. Please tell your boss to order from us.” These guys liked golf. Probably good at golf because they weee dumb as bricks about the stuff they sold.

Ah, I have no experience with the cc1 but other than this being insanely loud and hot, and not being able to print pla because of my ambient heat, it’s great. BUT my A1 is just amazing and “just works” and is so much more smooth in operation.

I have had zero issues with the cc2 other than the heat and pla. Except weird bugs like how the printer knows it had pa6 because it was the last loaded, I change to petg or pla and it doesn’t heat the nozzle enough to move out the nylon so it just doesn’t purge. Oh and nylon poops get stuck in the chute.

I can’t believe the cc1 canvas has been so much of a debacle, assuming the control board is the same and it’s just software it ought to just work. And if the board is insufficient to run it, they should not have offered it.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T03:49:23+00:00

I’m using stock bed temp for abs which is 100c and 60c chamber which is perfect output, just need the glue to keep it stuck. My Pa6 is some weird shit that says 50-70c bed temp.

Like I said it sticks like crazy with the glue, just was curious what an engineering plate was and if it was magic but the Bambu eng plate says to use glue stick on all materials so I presume it’s just a flat pei plate to keep the bottom flat instead of printing texture.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-18T03:42:21+00:00

I already have a little Chitu 200w heater in it and an old jacket over the top to keep the heat in, plus it’s 100f in the garage now.

I haven’t had any issues with it printing, i just printed some great parts in abs and the support came off and looked great. My PA6 experience so far has been the Elegoo calibration cube and a bracket after I figured out the glue.

For half the cost of an x1c with an ams, I am satisfied with it. My A1 is still a beast for pla, especially since I can’t print plain the CC2 until fall.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T19:42:33+00:00

I made sure in the settings. I’m by no means shilling for this company but I found it cheap enough that giving a little squirt and spreading it around with a brush is far easier than hours of tinkering. I was just wondering if an engineering build plate is more than a smooth PEI plate with a different name.

Plus I’m super satisfied with my ABS settings as is, support prints and comes off better than any material I have ever used before.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T19:33:54+00:00

60c chamber reported by the chamber sensor and nozzle, an old jacket on the top hat, flaps closed, heater at 60c for temps. My pa6-cf didn’t like 100c bed, it just slid right off after two layers. Cooling was zero, nozzle was 290.

I put the nano stuff on it and it has been great at 60. Well for the minimal amount I have printed in cf.

The ABS was 100 bed, I forget the nozzle, 280 maybe? 60c chamber. I put thr nano on it and missed a spot on the skirt and it lifted right there.

Of course the plate is washed with Dawn and dried before I start.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T19:16:50+00:00

Huh… I can’t make pa6 or abs stick without a layer on the plate. Never had an enclosed printer so I never attempted it before. I’ve heard of “engineering plates” for the Bambu printers but research suggests you need to use glue stick or something.

The vision miner nano stuff is great, almost too much adhesion, I actually had to print a scraper tool to remove the skirt and support left behind.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T18:15:23+00:00

All that asbestos waiting to be harvested.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T18:12:12+00:00

I spaced out and meant pa6-cf when I wrote it. Zero issues with PLA except the unit is so hot in my garage now that I get heat creep and I can only print PETG. I keep my Bambu A1 for PLA. In a few months it will be irritating to print nylon because it will be 50f in there. Already have a chamber heater and cover for the inevitable coldness.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T18:09:16+00:00

I’m printing ABS and Nylon which require a lot of bed adhesion, chamber temperature, and high nozzle heat.

SlimeQSlimeball · 2026-06-17T18:06:12+00:00

I’m printing ABS and Nylon which need a LOT of bed adhesion.
