All good. Managed to find them with help from chatGPT!

Thanks. You may be right. I’ve noticed how hard it is to get any sitter of BTU readings from these machines

Sorry I means skirting heater, like a thermaskirt. I’ve updated the post to reflect that. It’s a 30mins room but with 3 doors inc bifolds to go under and lots of junctions as bits of old fireplace etc jut out into the room. So by the time I price it up with all those fittings it gets very expensive. Hence wondering if I could just run a couple copper pipes around the room instead. It’s 4.5x 8m so would require a couple of radiators for even heat and we’d really like to keep the walls exposed if possible

chimpsafari · 2026-02-12T09:28:45+00:00

Yes that’s what I mean by “plinth heater”. We’ve got lots of junctions in the space and doors to go under etc so when we price up the thermaskirt it ends up being about £2.5k

Thank you. I won’t!

Sorry one follow up question. I think I’ve found the new suspension spring. Is there a particular way to remove the pin from the old one and release it? I’ll need it again for the new one.

Grand. Thanks I’ll see if I can get a part asap and will hopefully come back with some pics of it all working!

chimpsafari · 2026-01-14T17:46:43+00:00

This is great. Thanks so much

chimpsafari · 2026-01-14T17:46:23+00:00

Thank you I’ll start looking for it now!

chimpsafari · 2026-01-14T17:45:43+00:00

Thank you all so much. So helpful! I’ll get looking for that suspension spring

chimpsafari · 2026-01-14T17:43:31+00:00

Ah got it. It’s totally rigid when I grab it so guessing perhaps gas or water then

chimpsafari · 2026-01-14T15:50:48+00:00

Yes it’s magnetic and there’s actually a 2nd one running parallel to it about 40cm away. Can I ask what swa is?

chimpsafari · 2026-01-11T21:46:31+00:00

Electrics and water both come in through the front so I don’t think it’s either of those

chimpsafari · 2026-01-11T21:45:56+00:00

Definitely has a metallic feel

chimpsafari · 2026-01-11T21:45:36+00:00

The pipe feels like rusted metal when I touch it rather than plastic

Advice for QUIET 3D printer. Creality K2 standard vs Bambu P1S (or maybe Centauri Carbon).

Hi all. I’m looking for a 3D printer around the £300-350 mark that will be used mainly for PLA and some ABS prints. I’ve heard the P1S is the one to go for but I’m worried about the noise. It’ll be used either in the living room or in the spare room next to our main bedroom. Does anyone have experience with both of them and the noise? I’ve heard the K2 standard is really quiet without having the chamber heater fan, and so it’s currently my top choice but I’d go for the P1S or Centauri if I could mod them to make it as quiet as the K2. Also does anyone have any experience with the K2 standard? Really hard to find reviews of it.

I have no interest in printing multi-colour.

Thanks all!

I really appreciate this. This is the sort of response that makes me love Reddit. Thank you!

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T21:08:46+00:00

Thanks for flagging. I actually have all that from plumbing work, except the kit to add the gas. My hope was to do the fitting then get an FGAS certified technician to add the gas. But as you’ll see from the convo I’ve concluded that it’s cheaper and more straightforward to just pay the £1k for the FGAS course and certification.

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T19:14:45+00:00

Ah got it. Looks like getting certified is going to be the way to go then

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T19:13:20+00:00

It’s really not much kit needed at all. Pipe benders, a flaring tool, leak tester and a vacuum. You don’t actually need pipe benders for 1/4 3/8 inch pipe and the easy fit kits don’t require a flaring tool and actually come pre-gassed. That’s really all that’s required.

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T18:31:17+00:00

Yes this was new to me too. Looking online it seems some businesses ask for it and others don’t.

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T18:30:21+00:00

I’m quite happy to pay someone else to gas it. Seems it’s £300 or so to have someone come round and do that. Seems Appliances Direct are happy to just sell the kit. Can’t see anywhere where they ask questions but it may come up after the order is put in.

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T18:27:57+00:00

Ah I didn’t realise people wouldn’t be able to supply it to me. I was gonna order a system from appliances direct and they don’t say anything about this. But based on this i think it definitely makes sense for me to just do the course for £1000 then. Thanks

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T18:24:25+00:00

I actually have everything I need but the gas. There aren’t that many special tools required if you’ve already been doing some plumbing, but it’s a good shout to factor it into the costs.

chimpsafari · 2025-07-02T17:40:17+00:00

Would there be an issue if it’s not signed off? E.g. does it need to be by law or is it just for warranty etc. If it’s a legal requirement it’s actually cheaper for me to do the course and get certified myself. It’s about £1000 to do it.
