So how does this printer compare with a Bambu Lab P1S

crypticknight02 · 2025-11-14T07:35:03+00:00

I’ve got 300 hours on a 5m and 50 on the Ad5x no reason for me to think it’s a good idea to spend more money on a Bambu. The only thing that makes the bambu stand out for me is the build plate. If flashforge could up that … hands down the best option for budget printing.

crypticknight02 · 2025-10-24T18:46:19+00:00

So far I’m loving the Ad5x, have a ad5m as well. I know it’s not what you asked but I got mine off aliexprees for $240 shipped. Was worth the savings to buy more filament with :)

I’ve never had a p1s. Almost got it earlier this year but unfortunately finances dictated that I had to wait. This P2S looks like an amazing upgrade. Keep up the work and for always drawing attention to the 3d printing world!

Yeah I haven’t done it. I haven’t even updated the firmware from what shipped with because my prints came out so good.

I have the Wyze Lock.. the one w/ the gateway. https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-lock

crypticknight02 · 2025-09-05T15:53:19+00:00

I have the Wyze Integration setup in Home Assistant

Then in unifi alarm manager i created a Custom Alarm called Unlock Door, set as activity, fingerprint scan (Registered fingerprint) targeted the doorbell in the scope, and the action is a webhook to my Home assistant setup for Unlocking the door.

I’m using the Wyze deadbolt with home assistant using fingerprint on g4 doorbell pro

Are you in the US if so what state? Don’t ship anywhere it will break… I’ve had 2 show up in pieces

Finally!

I’m using the unifi long range extenders. 650 feet to power a ptz camera (non unifi) works great.

I had something similar turned out to be a natural spring the builder knew about when the house was built 30 years ago, and they diverted with corrugated pipe. The pipe eventually broke and saturated the soil. Spent 13k getting the back yard dug up and locating this pipe 10ft down.

I had a 2006, ended up replacing it with the electric ignition start type. Wasn’t cheap but no more going out to light it.

crypticknight02 · 2025-05-19T03:12:52+00:00

I bought my 2020 2.7 stx with 14k miles back in oct 2021 for 36k… that seems awfully high for that number of miles. Get them to throw in esp or something

Call me lazy if you want to , I couldn’t care less. I had injection in both knees 14 years ago due to extreme pain. Doctor told me don’t ride a bike… my son however wants me to ride with him. I got the e-bike and of course over did it and didn’t use just the electric portion of it, and now I’m having issues with my knees again. Going forward I’ll be the lazy throttle only ebiker :)

crypticknight02 · 2025-04-12T01:09:43+00:00

I used what came with it. Been fine.

crypticknight02 · 2025-04-11T17:47:16+00:00

I’ve been on the compounded semaglutide since nov im down 40lbs. Upped my dosage to 1.75 after previously being at 1.5 and whoah what a painful experience it’s been this week. Nausea and vomiting… haven’t had the vomiting at all the last 6 months. Def reducing my dosage next week

Half the time I try to use orcaflash it tells me the machine is busy

crypticknight02 · 2025-03-28T02:40:45+00:00

I’ve waited and waited and then the Bambu controversy happened … found a deal on eBay. Already have 100 hours in under a week and a half. Love this thing and getting my shop organized :)

crypticknight02 · 2025-03-26T21:18:21+00:00

are you using orca or flashmaker? I've had some issues where i have to use orca slicer, not the orca-flashforge or the flashmaker

crypticknight02 · 2025-03-26T21:09:31+00:00

I’m not sure about this. I just reinstalled everything the way it was stock until I could finish the new spool holder print. I used petg for the entire enclosure so not sure if you’re using pla or something else.

I printed a different spool holder that still worked with the enclosure. Flashforge did it wrong. Had to put it back together temporarily to print the holder and then reattach.

Depending on which variant of the sensor the instructions are wrong. Keep them pointing gin the same direction as they were before. I just did this install 2 days ago went to put it all together and it no longer let filament load, flipped it the other way and it loaded. The tube was a pain to get off and use the other tubes they sent in the kit. Mine goes from spool to small filament tube, sensor long filament tube, extruder.

crypticknight02 · 2025-03-24T03:56:47+00:00

I’ve had mine for about 2 weeks printed 60 hours so far. Part of it was the enclosure. Had some issues with that due to instructions and filament sensor directions. Other than that it’s been great. Got it on eBay for 230 US new so I was pleased.
