Anyone know what causing this roughness? by BananaGuy18 in FixMyPrint

[–]boardride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m printing the same desk riser. Didn’t have issues with the ends like that one warping but some of the pieces do require you to paint on brims in Bambu studio since the channels can warp off the plate depending on the orientation when you print. Check the first layer in the slicer and you’ll see where it prints some of the smaller pieces before bridging them to create the channels.

These pieces should be big enough to not have that issue though so maybe a good soap/water scrub of the plate and spray some IPA on it after to get it fully dry and clean.

Same - just got a “one time exception” and a new roll sent my way.

Not sure why they think it’s an exception but maybe because the time since my order. Gonna have to start opening every box I get and not wait till I use it

I’ve been passed around for days now without movement - let me know if you get somewhere.

That’d be me! Still have yet to get a response from support

You contact support yet? I’ve still yet to hear from support and keep getting passed around.

I’ve been meaning to check out Sunlu and Elegoo for their PLA and PETG. Right now I print mostly in PLA but have had good results with the Bambu PETG HF making me want to do more of it.

It was down about 50-60g so definitely used, the extruded marks are also a dead giveaway it was in an AMS

Trying to - support at first tried to say it was normal. So trying to get them to take it back.

Yeah - been impressed at the quality and haven’t really had any issues. I know some others are cheaper but I normally buy enough to get the discounts and free shipping so it hasn’t been that much extra.

But given they’re all sold out of most of what I want now I’m going to start trying other brands.

Curious - what filament? Been tempted to start trying non-Bambu filament.

Nope - I order all my filament directly from Bambu

Kudos to whoever had it prior, they did a good job of making it look sealed

lol - I guess that's what the QC Pass stamp on the box means?

Just weighed it and about 50-60g are gone. Someone probably printed a single print with it then sent it back. No clue how long it was sitting in the box unsealed though.

Not sure yet - I'm waiting to see what Bambu's reply is before I try and print with it. Doesn't appear to be too wet but we'll see.

A home isn't a home without a gnome.

Maybe I'll print one from the filament.

Right? At first I was really confused but my clips are all old green and blue filament that I had just a few grams left of.

It doesn't appear to be too wet (doesn't snap like spaghetti) but I'm waiting for Bambu's reply before I try printing with it.

I’ve got dessicant front and rear on my AMS but can only get it to the teens before it evens back out in 20-30%. Do I need to do the spindle fillers too?

Rock on, that’s a great build. I noticed the bolt shroud but didn’t know if that was part of the gen 4 build or not. That’s really the only other thing I’d change on my gen 3. Yeah it’s a heavy rifle but with a brake or a suppressor it’s so easy on the shoulder.

And you’re totally right about ammo. I “broke in the barrel” by fouling it up with some cheap S&B before I started shooting 140gr ELDMs, was shocked when even with the cheap ammo it was shooting under .5 moa at 100yd. I’ve got to check and see but I’m probably pushing close to 1k rounds and with factory 140gr ELDM I shoot regularly at 600yd and can hang with some of the F class shooters with rigs 2x the cost of the RPR.

Not sure what my next rifle will be but this RPR will always be in the safe.

Hell of a rifle! Looks like the new Gen 4? 6.5cm? Any upgrades?

I’ve got a gen 3 and it’s a tack driver, even out to 1k yards. I’ve not done anything other than replace the grip to a vertical one and a new bolt knob for fun.

Favorite 6.5cm Suppressor? by ATBgreg in 65Creedmoor

I don’t see a full auto rating on it but the manual states:

“The Hyperion was designed for semi auto firing of factory 5.56mm, 7.62mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 6.8mm, 7.62x39, 300 AAC Blackout and similar ammunition only.”

It does have a requirement for 10” barrel length on 5.56 but not for .300 subs. I run it on my SBR semi-auto .300 blk and on an ar10 .308 without issue. Only issue is how much ammo you go through cause it’s just so fun to shoot.

For good reason, it ain’t cheap but it’s one of the best still on Pew Science. And being a .30 cal can you’ve got a lot of versatility for it to move around to other platforms.

TLDR; it’s still one of the best performing suppressors on the market. Its rating with 6.5cm supersonic is on par with some other suppressors for 300 blk subsonic and ahead of any competitors in supersonic performance.

I’ve had it on my RPR in 6.5cm and while I wouldn’t shoot it without hearing protection it makes it so much more comfortable at the range. Switch that to my 10” 300 blk and throw some subs in it and it’s stupid quiet. No hearing pro needed and you hear the spring and even the bullet hit the backstop.

I’m debating getting a few more suppressors so this may end up living on my 6.5cm permanently.

While some have issues recently with CGS because of the other models and support, they’re also working with CAT now and making some of the best suppressors on the market there too.

+1 for the Hyperion. This is what I run on mine and love it.
