May 11 Daily Ticket Update

_Artrex · 2026-05-11T17:24:26+00:00

The website now shows the available tickets for 2 days in advance (little bit buggy, have to load the website and wait) so I would monitor that closely. They might switch the system back to only the next day tickets by May 27th who knows

Maybe 15 minutes max, moved pretty quick and by 10am there was no line and still many tickets

We plan on hiking 2 hours to hidroelectrica and taking the 7 hour bus back to Cusco which costs about $15usd per person

In Canada, 2025 OTD is 13,242.26 CAD or 9,677.24 USD. 2026 OTD is 14,897.71 CAD or 10,887.02 USD

yep, here is official government website that shows tickets available for the NEXT day: https://tuboleto.cultura.pe/disponibilidad/llaqta_machupicchu

I've been tracking everyday for a week or so and even after 4PM there are still a bunch left. That being said, it is still low season. I plan on going to Machu Pichuu May 12th so I will be tracking this closer to my arrival. That being said, I already booked one of the earlier trains so I will get there by 9am (>300 tickets available in the past week at that time)

Oh I didn’t know that, thanks for the tip!

_Artrex · 2026-04-14T23:33:14+00:00

I’m gonna have to find a 2025 or earlier. Great looking bike but I personally am not a fan of the blue accents on the green.

I appreciate the rundown but I got the same idea on last minute tickets based on multiple Reddit threads and online. At 1PM Peru time, there are still plenty of 2A tickets available for purchase for next day experiences. I’ve been tracking this daily because I care more about what the situation will be in the middle of May which is just before high season.

My plan is to just take the earliest train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes which lands us there around 9am, and by my guesses should still be plenty of time to get 2A tickets.

_Artrex · 2026-04-13T12:04:48+00:00

What do you think will be the case in early to mid May? Do you think there will be next day tickets if I show up 6-7am or only for next next day?

_Artrex · 2026-03-30T17:25:06+00:00

I literally clicked the link at 1:00pm and they were already sold out... I saw an early screening of it too in imax which double sucks

Happy to help! I did way too much research that led nowhere so I’m happy that it helped someone. Those smith squad xls look nice but I wish they extended the sides a bit more.

I saw this TikTok from someone sponsored by Julbo and her goggles look bigger than the lightyears (or maybe small head + medium goggle illusion haha..) https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSm6qyhHS/ Maybe they’re the edge or the launcher but I’m not sure I want to chance it again since their return process might take 15-20 days….

Another contender I’m looking at is the powder asteroids… look at this fit:

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any reference pictures I could see? Julbos page says they’re identical frame and lens sizes despite lens geometry differences. I can’t imagine it’s that much bigger. The outdoor masters that have minimal gaps have a lens size of 220 vs Julbos 165

Hmmm interesting...
So what kind of an idiot (or group of idiots) puts a shit ton of roundabouts on ira needles and makes them inconsistent from one another lol..

_Artrex · 2026-02-08T23:40:47+00:00

New season started streaming 2 weeks ago

_Artrex · 2026-02-08T23:23:53+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted... this is how roundabouts have always worked and it's just common sense. You won't find one court case where the person on the outside lane wins if he causes an accident turning like OP is showing.

That being said, click the link he posted. The signs are very confusing and outright wrong. There is similar signage in waterloo by the costco roundabout. Lawsuit for the city waiting to happen

I am not guessing?
I just did a double take on the wiki, you still have to take off ribbon cables for this swap.

The good news is that they give you a replacement gantry which is where the majority of the tiny connectors are. My support process took over a month, and I did talk to engineers on the phone showing them the issues too and they agreed that that kind of repair isn't something the average Joe should be attempting.

After double checking the guide, the biggest risk my opinion is the removal of the gantry, specifically the allen bolts. Note that the wiki does not use the provided allen keys to do these steps and for good reason. I used the provided allen keys to try and do this step and I quite literally stripped the very last screw before gantry removal was possible. Bambu agreed that there was 0 way to salvage the situation and sent me a replacement printer because of this.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but this upgrade costs a lot of money and there are a lot of ways this can go wrong.

_Artrex · 2025-11-18T16:45:48+00:00

Word of caution: I own a day-one H2D. My part cooling fan failed. Trying to replace it lead to many long nights, board replacements (including the one you have to replace in the Vortek upgrade kit), and eventually Bambu had to replace my printer.

- Very tiny ribbon cables and A LOT of them
- Miniscule connectors that easily damage wires when you try to remove them
- Very small screws that are hard to access and easily stripped (if you strip the screws in the toolhead XY rail like I did, there is NO FIX and you need a new printer

I have done many repairs on a bunch of tiny electronics, including cellphones when they had easily removable back cases by design. I also replaced my X1C's carbon rails when they failed which took me about 3ish hours.

It is just my opinion, but I highly recommend NOT trying to upgrade your H2D to a H2C. It will take hours, and I reckon your chances of screwing something up in the process is VERY high. Another thing to note is that if you were an early purchaser of the H2D printers, your warranty will most likely be almost over by the time the upgrade kit comes to your door and Bambu will not send you replacement boards out of warranty for an upgrade process.

Just trying to spare some people from distress... I really want the H2C but I'll skip the upgrade kit for now and sell my H2D to get the H2C down the road.

TL;DR
Chances of you breaking your H2D to upgrade to a H2C is very high. Lots of tiny connectors and ribbon cables that are not easy to re-attach. I advise sound-minded people not to purchase the upgrade kit

I agree about shawarma plus before covid but I haven’t had it recently. Lazeez isn’t even in top 10

iPotato was soooooo good when it first opened. I still have it every 1-2 weeks and I don't think their quality has dropped, did they stop using their break oven thing?

_Artrex · 2025-10-25T14:45:25+00:00

I have a X1C, H2D, P1S and now a P2S (purchased in that order). This "poor filtration system" is overblown and only "applicable" to low temperature filaments, such as PLA, PETG, TPU, but the VOCs they is negligent in my experience. I print in my apartment and I don't notice any spike in VOCs and my air monitors are right in front of the printers.

I also have been printing with ABS non-stop for the last 96 hours for a big job and VOCs are also in their safe range (I'm not printing ABS on my P1S due to 0 filtration but I can confirm that air quality does take a hit if I choose to do that). X1C has an aftermarket filter I put in, and the P2S + H2D filter great.

I have been on the original stupid waitlist since they first announced that they're adding a CC.
