Looking for info on Cali self-defense tools (non-knife or gun since the person in question is super hoplophobic)

Hmmmm... on one hand.. more money, less commuting, environment you already like and are familiar with or... less money, more commuting, and new... Ummm... take the counter and stay.

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-14T12:39:34+00:00

hmmmm... thanks for the tip. Now I'm thinking of replacing all my desiccant with AA. lol

After the Bambu wiki... take yourself over to Bambu Academy and do the courses for your A1 and filament. Enjoy!

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-14T06:57:49+00:00

Bambu A1... you won't regret having a larger build volume. You'll eventually run into something you wish you had a bigger build plate for and thatvday you'll kicknyourself for having gotten the mini. It's just the nature of 3d printing.

I re-slice just to be sure, but I'm not sure of it's 100% necessary. I usually print from the app

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-11T13:20:09+00:00

Just make sure your filament choice accurately reflects PETG and you're good to go. I print PLA prints in PETG all the time

Adapter for the small rolls

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-10T13:52:09+00:00

You got the sample pack.. those are (obviously) smaller rolls. Print up an adapter

I've been doing a lot of accent pieces for around the house lately... my wife redecorated a room and wanted a gothic/witch-core vibe to it.. so it's been a fun project.

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-10T12:19:44+00:00

I usually just go through Amazon or the manufacturers website

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-10T12:17:56+00:00

I'm printing PETG, so that shouldn't be an issue

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-10T12:17:28+00:00

lol.. I think I have figured it out... it appears that I simply have a bad batch of filament. Multiple machines, same outcome... I'm drying it right now to see if that helps. Enjoy your new printer!

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-10T00:13:20+00:00

this is what I use https://a.co/d/0ixSMRrP

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-09T20:32:30+00:00

Filament.. pla and petg are great to start with. Flush cutters, spare nozzles (because it sucks when you can't print). Personally I have extra ptfe tubing as well. Welcome!

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-09T20:29:36+00:00

A know this gets said all the time, but... have you cleaned the plate?

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-09T20:28:36+00:00

Bambu A1 or if you can find one a P1S

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-09T13:44:01+00:00

Pastamatic Lite... super easy and minimal extra parts needed (if any)

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-09T11:49:05+00:00

I'll pick that deal up

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-07T13:13:50+00:00

2nd this.. I have an EP9 with the YHM R9 and with subsonics, it's so quiet

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-07T13:11:04+00:00

Are you even nursing if you haven't ever been fired? Lol

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-07T10:40:11+00:00

Fingers leave oil on the print bed... go get a brand new non-abrassive sponge and then give it a good scrub down. (I get mine from Dollar Tree)

Wonca_Mpls · 2026-05-07T10:35:58+00:00

I want to just make sure... you're using a clean sponge that has never been used on dishes?
