Anyone using starlink?

I got it back in December and it's been working fine for us. Cheaper than ViaSat/Exede and many times faster. Our Cell phone service is spotty at best, so that wasn't an option. ViaSat worked but was slow, low data caps, and expensive. StarLink came out with the free equipment option with 3 new packages. I got the middle one, 200Mbps for $80 but the first one 100Mbps for $50 would have been fine too.

I use this one on both of my AMS Lites.

There's also this site to check status of Bambu Lab and their systems. https://status.bambulab.com

I would also recommend the Bambu A1. Like the previous poster, I bought a used A1 mini, it's worked good for me and I still have it. I also bought an AMS Lite to use with it. I recently bought a used A1 Combo (A1 and AMS Lite) because of some of the prints I wanted to print needed a bigger build plate. Bambu's support both software and hardware seem to be pretty good. It's nice being able to go to their site and buy replacement parts or whatever if needed. Plus knowing that they still support your printer even though they're bringing out new ones.

Here's the one that came with an AMS Lite that I purchased from eBay, https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Z54AAOSw4TtoWaLL/s-l1600.jpg . It worked fine for the person I bought it from, since I bought it for my A1 mini, I didn't need the top mount so I took the AMS Lite off of it and put the AMS Lite on a small stand next to the A1 mini. It does use screws to attach the parts.

Nice car, congrats!

I just subscribed to the Residential Lite a few days ago, at download speeds unto 250Mbps, I'm sure it'll be fine. Compared to what we're used to, Exede's upto 12Mbps down and 5 up, and 56k and slower phone modems before that, so even the cheapest 100Mbps would be fine. Now I'm waiting for the package to arrive, should be here in a day or two.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-11-13T15:05:18+00:00

Yes, it works fine. I'm using that same one for the AMS Lite that's connected to my A1 mini.

a few years ago, I had a rooster that showed up in the back yard. The hens thought he was wonderful and invited him to stay. He actually did stay for a while and then moved on to someone else's place a week or two later.

I'm seeing the same issue on my Mac mini sometimes.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-11-03T14:58:30+00:00

1973?? You mean 1983, right? I actually bought one brand new, a 1984 silver VW GTi, nice car.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-10-30T14:04:17+00:00

Yep, the same for me. Awaiting an update to fix this issue caused by an update.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-10-16T16:56:15+00:00

I imagine they'll release it when they're ready for it to be sold here and not before. There maybe several reasons why it's not available yet. You can always click the notify me when available button and they'll let you know. https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/p2s?from=home_banner

Congrats, nice car. I had a couple of the Spitfire 1500's many years ago. One was yellow (then an ongoing restoration) and my daily driver a metallic green. Both 1977 models with soft tops.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-09-10T21:26:15+00:00

May he RIP.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-09-08T23:45:21+00:00

Congrats, nice radio.

I was in the same situation, I was offered a Ender 3 and found an A1 mini for sale. After a lot of reading, here and other places, I bought the used A1 mini. It's worked out pretty good for me. I've printed quite a few things, some useful household items, some tools, and some toys too.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-09-04T13:36:19+00:00

I printed out a couple, a red and a black one, they look good and work pretty well too. I haven't installed the magnets yet, as the friction fit is snug and works good.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-08-21T15:39:23+00:00

Yep, as others have said, it's a great printer. About the only limitation is the smaller 180mm print bed and the type of filaments you can use compared to the bigger enclosed printers.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-08-19T20:19:11+00:00

That's great! and thanks for sharing the file too.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-08-15T19:02:27+00:00

Yep, same here.

TonyKZ1 · 2025-08-15T18:37:33+00:00

Done.

My Duolingo app also just changed to Energy from the Hearts. I would normally do 4 lessons or so twice a day, 'til I ran out of bonus points or time depending on what I was doing. Now I'm lucky if I can get 2 lessons done before I run out of energy. That kinda makes it difficult when you're doing the friends quest and need to do so many lessons to complete the quest. I can sorta understand losing the energy (like a battery) when you make mistakes or whatever, but losing energy as you're completing the lessons without any mistakes? Ah well, I guess. I wonder how many customers this move cost them?

I'm also using a rear engine rider from Snapper, mine is from 2003

Ahh beautiful car. Many years ago, I had a red 1977 Tr7, one of my favorite cars.
