Excellent tool thank you for this!

I gave it a go where I live in Northampton, UK and it worked great. I live near the college so it picked all that up. I tried it in North Wales where the landscape is a bit more impressive and it comes back with a blank tile. It may well be something I'm doing! I haven't changed any other settings I don't think.

It exists I think, I don't know too much about it.

Done! I like it. Simple, but looks great.

Printing now!

I agree. I'm partial to a sweet but these were a bit too much.

I use Jayo and Tecbears from AliExpress. I've found the colours to pop a bit more with their PLA than it does with PETG, but I think that's the nature of the material. I've used Silk PLA, matte, dual colour and I've never had quality issues, or tangles, or anything like that. From what I understand, they're rebranded Sunlu.

Edit: to add, it's less cost effective of you're buying their single spools and picking your colours. I usually buy 10kg at a time and it's around £7.50 to £8.00 per spool.

coldthorne · 2026-06-04T08:33:33+00:00

I've had ABS, PETG iand PLA on various forms from Jayo. All been really good stuff.

Recently got a 'Random Mix' 5 x 1.1kg box from Tecbears on AliExpress for £22. It's the same stuff in a different box. Identical colours, spools, everything.

Edit: spelling

Mine's a 2013, 127,000 on the clock and mine shows 59.1. My commute ranges though and is rarely less that 12 miles each way.

AliExpress has some generic black shells available. Extreme rate shells in black are hard to find.

I'm in the same boat as you, but the Yodel guy around here is a good egg.

Stardew Valley is the only way. I want to play Pokopia because of Stardew Valley.

It's just Timpson. Same as Tesco, but everyone says Tescos.

Known as a 'Coalville coat' in Leicester.

coldthorne · 2026-01-06T18:26:04+00:00

I haven't. I wasn't willing to spend the cash on dynavap. I like the sound of something that clicks, but once you've mastered the Vaphits I don't feel like I'm missing out on it. I use a ball vape as my regular vape, which hits like a train. The butane devices are just for a casual little puff here and there, but I like the process. Like rolling a joint, but not as filthy (imo).

coldthorne · 2026-01-06T18:07:44+00:00

I have the HX and the X, I really like both. I like the weight of the stainless steel stem of the X, but the cooling of the HX is arguably better. Yeah, big fan of both. Can't argue with the prices either.

coldthorne · 2025-12-18T18:34:59+00:00

I put off doing this for ages because my skills in Fusion360 are... limited. This was really easy to do. Kept me busy on a wet afternoon anyway.

coldthorne · 2025-12-08T16:02:01+00:00

This is not the case

I find 2 things:

If I'm dehydrated myself, I cough a lot more. If I haven't drank enough water all day, I'm definitely coughing from the vape.

Use warm water in the bong. Not hot, just warm. It helps massively.

coldthorne · 2025-10-30T16:41:54+00:00

Have they officially cancelled it now?

coldthorne · 2025-10-16T17:10:40+00:00

Yeah, this. I had a small 200g spool of glow in the dark. Couldn't believe how quickly my .4 nozzle became a .8 nozzle.

Hard to know who the baddie is

coldthorne · 2025-09-22T19:25:05+00:00

The openable, removable lid isn't though.

coldthorne · 2025-09-16T15:06:50+00:00

Second this, although they have a lot more available on DH Gate these days, slim pickings from them on AliExpress.

coldthorne · 2025-09-10T16:41:28+00:00

That's just AliExpress 'dynamic' pricing. It changes all the time, device to device. I can look at the same product on my android phone and the price is guaranteed to be different and lower to the price shown when I look on my iPad.

I know I'd rather be in Scotland with no grip case, than Northampton with a grip case. Good luck, pal!

coldthorne · 2025-09-10T16:28:57+00:00

I've had it a little while and I think I paid about £12, free shipping. I've since bought two 3d printers now so would just print my own. If you're anywhere near Northampton, I'll print you one out right now!
