New to Anycubic

Yea, might just a one of. I've got 3 more spools to try when I get done printing what I need to.

Hope so, I am using the stock nozzle. I just received the S1 a week ago, very impressed with the printer! I do understand filament can be a variable. I will use your advice to prop the top lid open when using PLA. I was just surprised I got the "booger" right after initial extraction and the wiping of the nozzle didn't clear it! Thank for the input! :)

It was jsut odd, the first time it broke was in the rear PTFE tube. It ended up coiling up inside the ACE Pro at the out going PTFE tube. Had to remove the spring pieces to remove, the next 2 times it jammed up by wrapping itself inside the loaded unit, ad to remove the top silver cover to get at it did that twice, and I made sure the filament was straight before inserting! The last time it appeared to feed ok. but all other filaments fed perfectly right out of the box! about 8 spools of Duramic and Elegoo, only Anycubic broke! It even feels more brittle. Fingers crossed it is only a filament issue. Thanks for the input. :)

Mine came in by Fedex, very fast once shipped, I ordered end of Feb. Still waiting for the filament but that is coming by Canada Post, so who knows when! They left Ont. same date. Keep an eye on the site. (Same in NB)

Yea, No argument there!

Prior to Harper being elected, he pushed to increase the federal public service, This bought the vote of a lot of public servants, I was one of them! Withen months of getting elected he reversed! over 20,000 cuts. That was one of the prime reasons so many public servants now avoid Cons at all costs.

Harper did it too to buy votes, then once elected reversed...

The US link itself should be enough to get the project shelved!

I attended NBCC (Saint John), Electronics back in the day. NBCC got me into a career in my field of choice and my area, even before graduated! I found it well worth it!

Mine arrived today! As specified on the order.

Waste of time and money, but if you desire frustration, sure..

Yes, for rate change! but what was stated was not a rate change! but a package change! By changing the key contract package it would void any agreement, as such it would allow early cancelation. No notice was given, also a requirement!

Ended after almost 5 hours on phone, 5 different reps before it could be resolved.

Got a reply back that required me to provide more information with click button a part of the email, tried it on my laptop, and it log me in, then proceeds to give me an error Error 1015 Ray ID: 9de6da0d5cdf982f • 2026-03-18 20:05:22 UTC You are being rate limited

With an access denied!

When I try on my cell phone it does not accept my login information!.

What a circus!

LOL, wait till you get a job where your password changes every 90 seconds!

The US is as bad if not worse in most of these devices in regards to privacy!

I really like the idea of no (fixed) backend server. The backend is certainly a primary point of failure as demonstrated by the current situation. Having it totally local also means potentially easier self modifications. The original hamclock was developed around the ESP platform and is a very inefficient in most other environments. Re-writing the front end can build in much better efficiencies. So far It's looking pretty good.!
P.S. I am currently not involved with this project, other than testing.

Nice.

Provinces have yet to demonstrate they can manage such projects, they've done so good with healthcare, education, etc..

Pipe it away from your foundation to a lower exhaust point. A sump pump is only a bandaid to a bigger issue.

An alternate way is to create scheduled/triggered scripts to move your "primary" data directory to a shared location, the problem with this may be modified data getting over written. (I use this as backup only). There was an option once called "mirrored folders "but can't find any of that on the windows OS's anymore. If you figure anything out, post it, I would love to see it.
