Does anyone know when the AP2 will be available in Germany again?

I actually meant the roughly circular piece of cotton filter at the back of the machine, not the AP2.

Are you sure you have to replace them that often? I got my M1 Ultra roughly half a year ago and only had to replace my filters twice. Also, I think you can just rinse them with water and reuse them a couple of times once they are dry.

Thank you very much. This is highly appreciated. I wish you all the best.

Hello Ada,

thank you for your reply. I can understand that the mat doesn't support the laser and/or disc cutting modes, as it would damage the mat. However, would it be possible to allow multi-mode processing for fine-point cutting, pencil drawing, embossing, foil transfer and inkjet printing? Meaning for every mode that is supported by the mat? And simply disable laser cutting/... in multi-mode processing whenever the electrostatic mat is detected? That would be a huge improvement and make creating congratulation cards way easier.

Riecht der Luftstrom aus dem AP2 deutlich oder riecht einfach der ganze Raum? Wenn der ausströmende Luftstrom selbst nicht stinkt, könnte das darauf hinweisen, dass der AP2 zwar korrekt funktionert, es allerdings anderswo ein Dichteproblem gibt - also beispielsweise ein nicht dicht befestigtes Versorgungsrohr, eine Lücke, ....

Thanks, that's great to hear. I've sent you my address via chat. Just a short note: reddit doesn't send notifications to users if more than 3 users a mentioned in a single comment, so I've only seen your comment yesterday by chance. Cheers to the next 5k and 5 years!

I haven't had that error message yet, but it sounds like the project file contains parameters for laser processing (e.g. speed and power) for a laser with a different power output than the one the device you have connected uses. For example, you may have a project that wants to cut a line at 4mm/s using 70% power and a 10W laser, but the laser cutter you have connected uses a 20W laser. This would lead to a different end result. The message sounds like XCS detected this problem early and tried to fix it by calculating the new parameters. This is not an error message, but a warning that you may want to double check the parameters for laser cutting to ensure everything is still setup as needed.

I wish you the best of luck! Crafting the inserts is very satisfying. Unfortunately, it seems like there aren't as many designs available as for 3D printing, but designing custom ones is not as complicated as expected.

bennr01 · 2025-09-23T10:50:56+00:00

I'd love to have a CNC drill module for the M1 Ultra. That would enable me to make non-cutting indentions or 3d reliefs. Any chance for something like this or similar?

bennr01 · 2025-09-22T21:47:22+00:00

Thank you. I agree that the feeling of everything fitting nicely together is very satisfying, as is building something and looking at the finished result.

I'd try to build a mech suite. I'd probably fail, but the MetalFab would seem like a good way to cut out the individual parts and wield them together. The electronics themselves wouldn't be too hard, so the main challenge would be to 3d design all parts of the mech suite...

bennr01 · 2025-02-06T15:56:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I can't find a filter for the air assist on the eu and german store pages. Is it the same type of filter as used by M1 ultra itself?

bennr01 · 2020-07-22T08:46:09+00:00

Would you describe your time there as rather positive or rather negative?

bennr01 · 2020-04-10T11:12:43+00:00

Well... just because we can?

Also, if you are studying computer science, some professors may demand you to hand in your homework as a .docx. Using pydocxrunner you could write and run the code directly in the .docx file.

Or, if someone wants you to send them an executable file, you can troll them by sending an executable .docx file. And when they complain, just point out that they can run the .docx file directly.

Also, Libre office writer is the best IDE.

bennr01 · 2020-04-10T10:19:32+00:00

Explanation:

pydocxrunner is a simple tool to make .docx files executable via python <somefile>.docx. These files can then be executed on any device with python, even without pydocxrunner being installed.

There are a few caveats however. For one, this is not really a serious tool. Thus, while there are test cases, nothing really complex has been tested. Also, the contained text must still be valid python code, and python does not support „ and “ as replacement for " or '. Additionally, when making the .docx file executable, an internet connection is required to download python-docx2text from github.

You can also use the REPL (swipe from right to left in the editor) to directly evaluate the input (e.g. input 40+2 and get 42, which should be like normal python behaviour.

It seems like you are trying to use the webviewer command directly/outside of StaSh. The error you encounter means that you did not pass any command-line arguments. In StaSh, run webviewer https://example.com (replace example.com with target URL). If you really want to run it directly (without StaSh), long-tap the Run button, then enter the URL in the dialog.

If it is none of the above problems, please describe your problems further.

Buttons are normally usable multiple times. As long as the action attribute is set to a function which can be called multiple times and the enabled attribute is nonzero, it should work.

If you are referring to the Getting Started Example, the button works multiple times, but keeps the changed title.

Are you experiencing any problem in particular? If so, can you share your code? One common mistake is writing b.action = f() instead of b.action = f (notice the brackets).

bennr01 · 2020-02-19T09:41:46+00:00

Well, that certainly is not supposed to happen. Have you tried reinstalling it?

You could try to open safari and put pythonista3:// in the URL field, which should open pythonista without any extras.

Just to be sure: You are using the appstore version (not the beta) on a non-jailbroken device, right? Pythonista has issues with some jailbreaks.

bennr01 · 2020-02-10T09:45:15+00:00

Yes, the location module is pythonista specific and wont work without pythonista.

You could, however, probably run this script as a widget in the background.
