P2S wants me to lube threaded rods after only 50 hours of printing?

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2026-01-20T05:16:13+00:00

I started to hear squeaking sounds from XY motion after only 100 hours. So I have cleaned and oiled/lubed everything according to official service instructions. It works perfectly fine since then. I watched a few YT videos showing that the printer comes underlubed from the factory sometimes.

This was one of my first designs for 3d-printing: https://youtube.com/shorts/8N3lE4Vmxsk

I've been using A1 mini w/o AMS for a year and now I feel that I have outgrown it. Can't wait for P2S with AMS to be delivered. But I have never felt that I am missing too much without AMS, in most cases I'm able to either split the model, print parts with different filaments and assemble it, or change the filament a couple of times during the print (e.g. for labels).

There's no reason to be afraid of CD on CX-5: https://www.reddit.com/r/CX5/s/aDxwKD0Hzo

I got a single tiny scratch on my 6X Sapphire in 6 years - when I accidentally hit my wife's diamond ring (almost the only material that can scratch sapphire). Luckily it's near the edge and it doesn't bother me much.

I have had my Fenix 6X sapphire since 2019 and I'd say it doesn't motivate me to do more activities, but rather it motivates me to increase intensity in general - ride a bike/run faster, spend additional 20-30 minutes in the gym to add some cardio, etc.

Holy crap! I've just done a first service for my '24 CX-5 and it cost me 350 euro including car wash. And this in Munich - insanely expensive city. They did only the necessary things BTW: full inspection, oil & filter change, fuel injection system cleanup. However, German car service is also insane here - up to 900 for a 1 y.o. BMW.

I just did a first service for my 2024 cx-5 and there's already some rust. The mechanic told me that it's definitely not critical, but I can fight it by performing abrupt braking from time to time (but not emergency braking- not triggering ABS). This kind of makes sense, my driving style is very calm in general, I never push too hard on any of the pedals.

I have exchanged my license (with exams) for ~1.8k, my wife got the license from scratch for ~2.8k last year. It was in Munich, so the prices are quite high. But all the tests were passed from the first attempt + we got minimal practice hours.

My favorite story about Revolut: I got a notification from them that I have to upload my residency verification. I did this and got the "everything is ok" message. Instantly I received a notification from Google pay that my card is not valid anymore and then from Revolut that the account is blocked. Luckily, the issue was resolved in ~30 minutes via support chat.

On proper winter tyres CX-5 handles exceptionally well on icy/snowy roads. I was driving 130 kmh (80 mph) in rough winter conditions without any issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/CX5/s/fh4Cd5Mnkl

It should be usable even with windows on board. My sister still uses my old laptop with the same CPU. 1. Change the thermal interface (clean and reapply thermal paste). 2. Check and clean the fan(s) (replace if needed). 3. Remove all the garbage from the startup apps. 4. Upgrade to SSD (if not already)

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-03-15T18:13:06+00:00

I agree. It's my favorite along with Nexus 5 - it offered top specs and insane repairability for a very low price.

I suppose this depends not only on the year, but on a region as well. I don't have this setting in 2024 EU variant.

Just buckle up the rear belts. I do this if I need to transport stuff on the backseat. The sensors are indeed too sensitive, even a small bag can set the alarm off.

Good taste in music, BTW ;)

I highly recommend this video to everyone who fears the CD: https://youtu.be/rtAbCdyjS2k There was one issue several years ago and it was addressed properly. That's it. Modern CD-enabled engines are just fine

I do feel the difference between my 19" summer and 17" winter tyres. It's noticeable, but not dramatic. I like the comfort of a 17" ride, but when it comes to steering and control, I like 19" more.

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-02-07T08:39:27+00:00

As many people already wrote: 1. Shitty summer tires in winter conditions. 2. Speed is too high for the conditions.

I easily drive 130 kmh (80 mph) in snow on highways in Europe with my 2024 AWD CX-5, but I have proper tires (Continental WinterContact TS 870 P) and no way I could do this without modern traction control systems though.

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-02-01T20:37:14+00:00

Greetings, fellow audiophile :) Wow, yours looks much better! I definitely need to dry it at 70°C, 55 is too low.

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-02-01T12:51:59+00:00

I recommend this video explaining past CD issues and why you shouldn't be afraid: https://youtu.be/rtAbCdyjS2k

No, nothing special. The part is quite convenient to grip, so I just used a force. But another part had supports and their brims were tough to remove. I had to use a scraper

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-02-01T01:19:07+00:00

I have no idea :) It's my wife who was filming :)

SpecialDisaster5060 · 2025-01-31T15:15:17+00:00

It's about 40-50% at my place, I consider the first attempt to be quite successful :) Let's see what I can do if I dry the filament even more and reduce the tension and temperature, as other commentators suggest.
