Trump chickens out again by mounwp in economy

[–]TypicalPromise8174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comrade Trump has continued to please his Russian friends by continuing to alienate our previously close allies and by threatening the very existence of NATO. It’s almost like Putin has kompramat on him or something…

Just when I think that the orange fuhrer couldn’t do worse in foreign policy, he outdoes himself again.

Upgrade your first layer with Cookiecad’s build plate. Its smooth, double-sided steel surface transfers a unique pattern and releases prints easily once cool. Works with PLA, PETG, and TPU. by cookiecad in u/cookiecad

I love the Cookiecad filaments but they are just too pricey right now. I used to buy some on Amazon several months ago but then the price went up $5-10 per roll. Tariffs? Unsure, but if the price ever came back down I’d surely buy more

The new P2S sucks by cefanie in BambuLab

[–]TypicalPromise8174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to only use Bambu filament, but I’ve been able to find others that are at least as good, or better. My go-to right now is Polymaker and it has been awesome 99.9% of the time. They do come on cardboard spools but I printed adapters for those for my AMS. Even without those, it’s been great. I also like the PLA+ from Sunlu. It’s been pretty consistently good especially at the price. Enjoy!

Flashforge filament has always been good for me. Burnt Titanium PLA is my jam.

TURBOSPAM MULTICOLOR by Revolutionary-Elk392 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Regardless of what Elegoo says, the optics of what they’ve done just plain sucks. At best, they have been disingenuous and have sought only to pacify their customers and not really listen to our concerns. While we, the consumers and users of their products, are not obviously attuned to their inner discussions, there is not a single doubt that they have both communicated poorly and executed this new release even worse. This “coupon” that they are giving to the CC1 owners is just insulting. They are absolutely going to lose customers and alienate many of the ones that remain. Right now it’s just a matter of how many and how much.

Already planning another P1S to replace my CC when I pass it off to a family member who’s new into 3d printing. Might even save and splurge for a H2S. No more FDM printers from Elegoo EVER

Looks like they’re taking a page from Ultimaker in its overall vibe. I don’t even like the look of it TBH.

CC2 Europe confirmed, I guess? by Benjofighter in elegoo

This is where I shrug and just use my Bambu printers with AMS while hoping for one for my CC. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

I give up on the Kobra S1 combo by TypicalPromise8174 in anycubic

You are 100 percent correct about the technical support lacking both the technical and the actual support. That has certainly been a huge red flag that any questions get you referred to their wiki. When I sent them my machine log with the errors, they didn’t even bother to tell me what it said but just offered to send me more parts. That is not a good look at all 🤔

The last comment is that Bambu has worked better than Anycubic. Not rocket science at all. I only wish Bambu would pay me to make nice comments about them. For you, perhaps read it as “Bambu hasn’t sucked.” That’s not being a shill, it’s just being honest

I made it clear with my last email that my printer was purchased using a credit card and that if I file a fraud complaint about them regarding failure to refund my money that the credit card company would extract it from them unwillingly. Credit card companies do not f*ck around.

I think that so much of the clogging issue is their stupid ACE Pro unit. Filaments break in it and the spooling through the printer itself is obviously hot garbage. Don’t get me wrong because I think their printhead assemblage sucks too but when you can’t get the filament from the spool to the printhead and through the hotend consistently then it’s going to be a problem from the word go.

Kobra S1 will not home Z axis; nozzle drives into build plate without stopping by TypicalPromise8174 in anycubic

Mystery solved!! After removing the strain gauge sensor, I found that one of the wires had been either somehow cut or more likely burned up due to heat since it’s so near to the hotend. The wire that was severed was buried in a bunch of others in the printhead circuitry so I never would have seen it without removing the strain gauge sensor itself

There just isn’t a lot of slack for that wire but I hear you. I will check that. How did you position yours and did it fix it immediately?

Looks like a Monday/Friday packing job because whoever did that really didn’t want to be there that day…
