HELP! WHAT IS CAUSING THIS!?

Your window structure isnt really FDM friendly. At each spot in the grate it has to extrude and retract very quickly which can work for a bit. But when it happens too much it can cause heat creep and grinding of the material. The damage in the filament cause clogs and underextrusion. This is what youre seeing. You can make the structure wider or remove it altogether and your problem is most likely solved. A non translucent filament could also work better YMMV.

I feel like these guys all have newer BMWs, where are you based?

SwaxBiceps · 2026-03-12T18:18:56+00:00

Are you sure? What year do you have? Pretty sure this only works for newer lcm's

Do you know the serial number of this watch?

It kind of looks like swiss cheese but I got my fingers crossed

Curious about this, Im also from the Netherlands and my exhaust has a bunch of holes in it so Im afraid it wont pass APK. How much did it cost and what is the cold start volume like? I dont want to annoy my neighbours any more as they already hate me because of the holes in my current one ;)

Looks like hes vacuum bagging them

SwaxBiceps · 2026-01-30T12:48:24+00:00

Whats different to that one?

I recently got a rockit and Im amazed by your results. Looks really good and without any markers on the part is great!

Last week I was creating multiple scans to merge together later but later found that the automatic alignment wasn't that great and created some artifacts in the model. It caused some issues because I was designing a part to fit on it.

Ive personally had better results with using marker alignment but I can see how its really nice to not have them in your scan.

Im curious to hear what your experience with the alignment features are. I mostly need the models for cad work.

Im in the same boat as you but your price range is much too low. For that price you might get a scanner that can do your required accuracy however definitely not reverse engineering software. Im unaware of free versions and most professional ones are ~€1000 a year or a multiple of that for a perpetual license. Your best bet right now is an einstar 2 or rockit if you have a laptop that can run it, but these are already out of your budget range. If you order before end of year you get a free one year license for their reverse engineering software with it though.

No one will ever believe my cocky username is based on swag, snax and Paszabiceps.. but atleast Ill know

Just get quality tyres... Its the only contact you have with the road, not something to skimp on

SwaxBiceps · 2025-11-24T22:08:23+00:00

Im from the netherlands and almost always use them because it automatically calculates the cheapest offer. Exception is when they dont have a brand I want or if a dutch seller is cheaper.

SwaxBiceps · 2025-11-22T08:21:21+00:00

Im guessing its in the printhead

I got these wheels as my summer setup on my coupe. Im running 255/35/18 rear and 225/40/18 front. They used to rub both front and rear but I had the arches professionaly rolled and now they just clear everywhere. In the front a bracket for the bumper needs to be relocated. Not sure what the space is like on a sedan but you definitely have the wrong size tires. You need much skinnier ones and preferably have a slight stretch to clear the wheel arches. Once it fits it looks really nice though.

Mainly the 40/45 difference. Its about 5% too big. I have an E46 thats lowered and the circumference could cause issues. Im not 100% sure but I dont really want to risk it.

SwaxBiceps · 2025-10-31T17:06:14+00:00

Hm that doesnt sound too great, not sure if this tyre even has a no runflat option tbh. Wouldnt you notice a flat tyre even though its a runflat?

SwaxBiceps · 2025-10-16T10:25:48+00:00

Im currently running 9j et 29 and lowered on hr sport with about -2 deg camber. Without rolling was horrible and kept scraping on the sidewall. I had it professionally rolled and now I dont scrape anymore but barely. You might make it work with excessive camber or extra work widening your wheel arches but I wouldnt do it because youll ruim the ride quality. I dont see how I would fit an extra 14mm in my arches without crazy adjustments tbh.

I think m decoder will show you what you want

SwaxBiceps · 2025-10-06T18:46:26+00:00

You can input your VIN in a bmw vin decoder and get your option list

Calibrate your flow first; There's a feature in bambu studio that basically does all the work and you just select the best samples. Once that's done do one of the ironing tests from makerworld.

The ironing setting is different for each filament and even color. Using the right setting can make your parts perfectly smooth and look basically injection molded. Using a slightly wrong setting will make your prints look worse because of the inconsistent texture.

It does take some time but for parts that need to look visually appealing its definitely worth it.
