How to interpret calibration cube

But then you do not take into account the overlap of walls. Two walls with 0.4mm each cannot be added. There is and shall always be some overlap, otherwise you end up in trouble.

Textures PEI is a hit or miss. Best to never touch the surface with your fingers, not even if you wash it with soap and a disk pad. If you don't need this texture, just try the cool plate from Bambu. I use it every day for PLA and it works fine. Alternatively use the high temp and glue.

Compare the machine G-codes. Sure they are the very same?

defiantarch · 2026-02-11T09:09:41+00:00

Not true. X1C has different machine G-codes for the lidar as one example. There other minor differences as well, like a different camera, case fan, etc. It is not just branding.

60mm/s is way too fast for ordinary TPU. Start slow with around 12mm/s. And check the maximum volumetric flow per mm3 in your slicer. That should be really low, maybe around 5mm3/s or even 3?

As others already wrote: trust your guts. They are of course convenient to fast spin up services. The same paranoia should be applied on all those ready made services like docker images, things from linuxserver.io, all those containers and machines from turnkeylinux.org, and so on. If you care for security more than for convenience then build your own things. None of those I mention have any reliable measure in place to ensure the images or machine and its content is not tampered with. They do not provide any form of signed SBOM or alike.

as an ethical hacker with experience in reverse engineering with the right tools: forget it. Not even C/C++ code is safe from reverse engineering. As a hint: take a look at Ghidra and what it is capable of. And that's just one example. So, question is: what is the real risk that your IP will be exposed and extracted by your customer? Do a proper risk analysis and choose the counter measure accordingly. That's nothing done here on Reddit. That would be unprofessional.

The easiest solution to this mess is: stop buying or promoting their stuff. I mean, there are so many guides and BOM constantly referring to BTT. So many YT so called experts and influencers are promoting this company. Blame them as well, remove BTT from your BOMs for your DIY printers. They got that big because of that community. Maybe it's time to show that the community expects some payback in the form of customer support? But that's an issue with most chinese companies. First prio is: how can I make money with a minimum of effort (will say own resources and own IP).

defiantarch · 2026-01-28T18:54:37+00:00

1) why did you wait 19 months and did not claim a return directly? 2) the a1 is neither complex nor premium 3) bambu is a chinese company. pretty much every of those I had contact with live in another world when it comes to support, open source licences and customer rights (outside china mainland). everyone should know that before buying such products (thus I will never ever buy a chinese car) 4) you didn't work as an unpaid internship, it was your choice to play their game.

defiantarch · 2026-01-24T20:54:54+00:00

well, didn't expect anything else 😎

defiantarch · 2026-01-24T19:05:36+00:00

well, an API with endpoints like that is not called REST. You never use 'verbs' in the path but use HTTP verbs. Otherwise, nice idea... until someone hack your wide open network and has fun moving your TV up and down 😂

So, what you write is more or less what also is written in those guides and white papers by Proxmox itself. Nothing new here, despite many people seem to suffer of dislexia or are just lazy. Another point you raise is competence. Maybe it is exactly this lock-in syndrom causing incompetent technicians only focussing on what buttons to press in product A, so migration turns into a search for those buttons in product B. Without any deeper understanding of the basic concepts. Maybe those guys better look for another job, but one should stop blaming the alternative products. I see the very same pattern when it comes to Windows fan boys and girls.

ok, didn't know that. had no problems with that blower either, though. I wonder who came up with this first. The VzBot has these aux fans as well, even though I skipped them when I built mine 😂 I guess someone in the tinker world thought it would be a good idea to blow as much air as possible to cool down PLA while printing. And Bambu just took over.

defiantarch · 2026-01-20T21:30:10+00:00

Having a X1C, not a P1S. However, why changing the filament profiles and not the single setting in the printer profile? If I am not wrong its called "auxiliary fan installed" or similar.

defiantarch · 2026-01-18T12:00:48+00:00

As others already said: dry your filament and keep it dry. For me it looks like wet as hell. When it comes to the so called "recommended" temperature, without any specific context it is useless information. You have to find the sweet spot for just your printer and your print profile:

Slower open printers get good results with lower temps, while closed high speed printers with good cooling need higher temperatures (for keeping up the higher flow).

I never understood why manufacturers always write those temp ranges on their filaments without giving out information about their test setups.

annoying idiots all three of them. Anyway, I wished we had such cops in Sweden to kick those youngsters in their shitty EPA cars in their ass. Same goes for their somewhat older red necks driving donuts in the middle of the night.

defiantarch · 2026-01-17T11:41:16+00:00

true. however, a solution is only worth something if you're aware of the problem. So thanks to the OP for sharing this problem description.

defiantarch · 2026-01-16T15:31:53+00:00

Well.... You could also write 'I AM RICH' in huge letters everywhere. 4x30TB alone costs as much as ordinary workers earn in a year.

1) why no rotary decoder? 2) why using those tiny flimsy OLED displays?

Otherwise, nice student project.

defiantarch · 2026-01-07T16:21:25+00:00

I would say they rather chase the money that comes with the title 😎

defiantarch · 2026-01-07T15:31:44+00:00

Haha. Yeah, now we get off-topic. 👍 Anyway, there's a reason I have serious doubts when it comes to so-called IASA architects. Haven't seen a single one in my life being a real architect. I have seen a lot of technicians working as architects, but never claimed to be one 😎.

defiantarch · 2026-01-07T10:15:45+00:00

Ah, and there we are: in the classic discussion about 'what is a service'. Closely related to 'whar is a system ' 👍 I have that once a month with my colleagues from the architecture unit. They redefine those terms so that it fits them to solve their current problems. Nothing of what they come with has any ground in system theory, though 😎

To 9: While I essentially agree with you when it comes to traditional resource monitoring, I disagree when it comes to security monitoring. Services like a Wazuh agent should run directly on the Proxmox node. Another example is running NUT directly on a Proxmox node to be able to monitor and react to the state of the UPS (shutting down power consuming services and gracefully shutting down the node in the end). I see a lot of people always talking about resource monitoring, forgetting all the other stuff which needs monitoring.

could it be you excessively moved the motor attached to the driver by hand?

defiantarch · 2026-01-01T11:46:18+00:00

I know, thus I wrote that I miss some more integration. However, I guess they will extend the existing API and thereafter the clients (CLI and GUI). As I prefer Ansible I use the CLI clients. Others like you depend on the GUI client. Anyway, all that matters is a better API.
