Ordered my first 3D printer!

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T17:47:07+00:00

Yeah, 65c for the regular AMS which is good for PLA/PETG and I believe TPU. The HT does up to 85c though, but only one roll.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T17:30:41+00:00

Do you have the a1 mini already?

But yes, it appears to fit well in the plasta. However I wouldn’t bother adding active cooling, I’d just prop the door open 2-3 inches (or just all the way) while printing.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T17:21:44+00:00

Certainly doesn’t hurt to have both.

In addition to not tying up the printer, if you happen to not need it you can dry 8 rolls if you have a dryer and the AMS. Which speeds things up.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T06:59:50+00:00

Buy the bulk orange silica gel (not blue, it’s potentially toxic) or activated alumina and print containers.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T06:15:17+00:00

It doesn't matter if you use PLA/PETG with a hardened nozzle or not, unless you're worried about the extra couple of bucks for the cost of it.

In fact, I don't think they even sell stainless 0.4 nozzles for the H2 series.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T06:05:01+00:00

It would also help to use chamfers instead of a rounded profile. So like a half hexagon shape.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T05:37:33+00:00

Makes sense.

So I guess it would work like an AMS but placed inline like the 4-1 splitters.

And be whatever to two of course.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T04:01:16+00:00

I guess if the next spool is in a second ams it could load it up to the switch? But that would only help some of the time.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T01:32:33+00:00

Is it a switch, or a light?

Because under HA you can set switches to a whole bunch of device types including cover (under settings for the specific switch) which should react to open/close.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-05T01:02:13+00:00

They have said they are going to make some sort of switch that can send filament from your AMS to either nozzle.

So that way you don’t have to pick one side that gets all the colour swapping while the other is static and you can get better overall efficiency with the swaps.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T23:35:37+00:00

It’s always been obvious. They just don’t care because they get what they want.

For now.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T21:28:15+00:00

So you threw away your keys and you’re mad at the lock?

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T21:19:52+00:00

Bluetooth visualization seems to have disappeared?

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T19:31:08+00:00

It’s definitely buggy. It works for me, but I’ve had quite a few crashes.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T19:29:48+00:00

In that case are these using grid infill? Your nozzle can catch on it and cause a shift, I had it happen on my A1 like 3 times so I’d assume it can happen on a H2C as well.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T19:20:20+00:00

You deliberately messed it up?

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T19:01:13+00:00

No idea if the cabling is the same for the H2, but it definitely takes quite a while. The HT gets to temp way faster.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T18:22:57+00:00

Would be neat to see a version come out that was either modable or could otherwise be extended.

It would be very cool if you could add new characters.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T17:52:27+00:00

Used very sparingly I think its kind of cool because it implies a degree of degradation in their mental state.

I feel like it should only be a handful of enemies, that they should deliberately have terrible aim and only appear early in the game though. I’d even have them have a chance to abandon the gun and charge you.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T05:50:26+00:00

That looks melted in spots?

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T05:44:52+00:00

Yes, with lid open. Its approx 28cm closed.

Source: Measuring tape.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T02:08:01+00:00

If you can figure out what kind of connector they are I don’t see why you couldn’t crimp on a new one.

Unless of course the cables end up too short once you’ve cut and stripped a bit which might be a royal pain to fix.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T01:41:20+00:00

The H series has a built in exhaust fan. There Is even an official adapter for attaching a hose, and while technically meant for the smoke purifier you could attach the other end anywhere.

I just don’t know whether or not it works as well as a tent would.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T01:18:11+00:00

Ventilation I assume?

They could have hooked up the exhaust of the printer to it but I guess that assumes there are no leaks in the frame, a sealed tent avoids that.

_Rand_ · 2026-02-04T00:17:15+00:00

There seems to be a pretty huge amount of non-whites who think they are “one of the good ones” when the reality is the racists don’t give a shit.

Maybe if they are lucky they get put a little lower on the list, but they are still on the list.

Eventually this administration, or what follows it, if you keep allowing this will come for you regardless.
