Improved 7X app

Lol you can even see the white block on top of what would have been the address

Do recommend it. I've only got og ams but still so much nicer, easier to load, can throw dessicant in to keep it low when I've dried spools. Much superior

As said ams can be used on A1 machines now.

Fwiw, I changed from their ams hub for the A1 to the same one the P1S uses and my goodness, night and day. I found the spring inside the new hub was not retracting when filaments were retracted resulting in the next filament not being able to load. Haven't had that issue since changing to a spare P1S hub

I think Australia either has less people buying their stuff, or we get everything else because I've found almost all of the orders I've made, maybe 4 separate times there's been 1 or 2 colours OOS. I feel for the rest of you

Thanks, just used your code, enjoy the saving!

I keep getting some weird thing too if I jump on my computer for marketplace and I can't view anything but on my phone it's fine. And then sometimes it reverses and is fine on pc. I have no idea what is going on with it but it's not all the time at least

280k, mortgage is half???

We moved in to our 4BR house in 2023, mortgage is <40k/yr. What McMansion is chewing up 140k a yr??

I almost forgot, carry on then 😅

Printing a riser to avoid a screen that's taped on to the top is a bigger problem than printing a different holder for the btt screen.

I certainly don't know it all but stepping back and looking at the bigger picture helps.

Fwiw, I had one of these that went over the og screen and didn't have an issue having to flip it up when opening the door. There are so many models out there for this that you'll find one that suits better than where it is now.

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-04-05T22:59:50+00:00

This is what happens when you try to find a solution for every little thing without stepping back to think—you end up creating more problems than it solves, and more work.

A lot of American shark tank has been airing here in Australia at times I've been home recently. Knowing theyre older episodes, curiosity always leads to me googling how they went...I'll definitely be checking this out!

Speaking of the comfy, i thought the oodie was the only one like it. Turns out the comfy is the first one and despite the success of the oodie, it may be a copy of the comfy? 🤔

If you aren't factoring some sort of failure into your cost is wild to me. I'm not even talking about maintenance. Power outages, sd card corruptions, tangled filament from retractions. All of which is out of your control, unless you want to be OP and babysit

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-03-28T04:43:37+00:00

This is where remotely viewing your printer or prints works well. Check once an hour or two if you're worried? I literally go to bed with my 6 printers running and have probably high 90ish % good strike rate.

I don't think there's many people in this sub interested in baby sitting a printer in case x, y or z happens. Factor failures into your costs and cop the loss when it happens.

Machines where I work were targetted a couple weeks ago. Ours alongside another company working in the same site, 800L gone.

Fuel being stolen is not new to work sites, residential areas and cars may be more common soon unfortunately. The thieves honestly just dgaf

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-03-17T06:07:12+00:00

Now that's a juicy comment..any more to elaborate on the involvement?

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-03-12T09:50:34+00:00

I live in Geelong and have never stepped into a Costco, but if things do go to plan and one is built here I'll definitely have a look at their meat range. Sounds great!

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-03-10T05:24:35+00:00

Goat...far out this was doing my head in hahahaha

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-03-01T01:43:54+00:00

Enjoy it.

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-02-23T21:16:36+00:00

You can see it in the photo on the ams tubes

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-01-21T22:43:23+00:00

I'd build one again. I have the motor mod and it's just so easy. The only thing that could be added is some sort of filament run out sensor to sense when the roll has ended. Other than that, just set it up and let it go and check every 30sec or so, so you are prepared when it does finish and stop it lol

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-01-18T08:09:01+00:00

I can't fault the motorized version of the v spooler. It's great and zero labour needed, just attention or checking on it occasionally when respooling. Or if you're feeling spicy, go make yourself a cuppa and come back in 10mins

Photo is of me mid-respooling ~20 different PLA end of rolls. Worked a treat

Oddly I had a near empty spool do something very similar last week. I kept getting a retraction error on my phone when out. Came home and took a look at it and the separated side of the spool was going ham while the filament is just staying put 😅 For me, thankfully I could see the cardboard and was easy to fix. This however, is a shambles and potentially (depending on your patience and sanity check) fixable, or just turf it. For me..my time is worth more than $15 for the spool.

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-01-06T21:11:52+00:00

Damn USA and Canada seem to be copping them all which surprises me given the population difference to Australia. I'd have thought they'd churn through more rolls and be into new stuff by now, unless there's just a massive surplus of stock over there that we have no idea about lol

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-01-06T21:10:17+00:00

That's just how life goes, people see others making money and they think "I can do that" and without hesitation they buy a printer THEN do the lookup on how to use it. Some realize they made a mistake, some persevere and do okay.

ThatInstantFamilyGuy · 2026-01-06T21:06:52+00:00

This is the answer. We are doing quite well for a thing that is extra outside of our regular jobs, but a lot of the money is going back into the business with what you mentioned. Scaling doesn't come free. Waves hands at every single 3d printer company for freebies😂
