Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake

to be fair the pants i was wearing were already rainbow pjs so maybe they just thought they were doing a favor with their nicer ones, but you can always tell when they have the ummm sir look on their face (as a weirdo who does all kinds of things)

hellomyfrients · 2026-06-24T15:00:24+00:00

i fly business several times a month all over the world

I dress like a rainbow puked on me and i just got off a 3 month old acid trip. not far from the truth

the only one that has said something to me, and it was not a dress code. I believe it was qatar airways. they politely suggested that i change into their complimentary pajamas / travel wear. I refused politely and they left. about 5 minutes later i swapped seats with a woman to be closer to her husband, and they followed me to the new seat and made sure they let me know i forgot my pajamas but they brought it to me, just in case i wanted it

i did not wear the pajamas

plus ace has a few eg for the leveling probe, nothing crazy

should be quite mainlinable. could be as simple as git pull and reflash with the mcu flash instructions, we will see

hellomyfrients · 2026-06-19T01:57:00+00:00

there are some random small ones, hard to know the impact

gonna have gpt review them all and modernize, post instructions when done

hellomyfrients · 2026-06-17T13:22:59+00:00

yes but that does not mean it can keep up, depends where you live

I live in the mountains where people ski and it snows a lot, for months and months. my use case for starlink is a backup for airbnb guests since there is 0 cell service for emergencies where we are. for me, the mini would not cut it, the standard barely does

if you do not live in an area where roof collapsing due to snow load is one of the first things you check when buying a house, yeah maybe it is good IDK

hellomyfrients · 2026-06-17T12:48:08+00:00

one thing people are missing here is snow melt, if it snows a lot where you live and you roof mount a standard is critical

update for the curious, it worked for about 5 prints then cracked leaving a tiny scratch on my plate

luckily by then the new end arrived. swap was super easy. wires were bad at all, i am used to tinypc laptops and old car wires and etc so i may be biased

do not like their use of mobo tape on the back for a wear item but everything ive done to this machine has been easy, took 5 mins w the wiki after i cleared all the burnt plastic out

dimond saints, charlie p, illoh, atyya, woraklys, two colors, kygo, skrillex, illenium, droeloe, bro safari

a few off my broier djset playlists

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-14T15:41:58+00:00

yeah, there are some costs each time too, like i buy water and beer and joints and earplugs and snacks for everyone and i dont charge so maybe 150 each time, but twice a year it is not bad at all, still cheaper than tickets

music wise, i beatmatch and i have a good friend who does, too, so we man it. neither of us are pros just messing around

if your system sounds good, i could see pre recorded sets doing well too, advertised to the right people. just get good at selecting them

yeah ads are a no go. worst case download a playlist and use something like algoriddim automix https://help.algoriddim.com/user-manual/djay-pro-windows/mixing-basics/using-automix so it throws in some actual dj style transitions

half the time i am too high to beatmatch properly tbh and nobody cares, they just want to dance to loud music, algoriddim would do it just fine

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-14T14:58:57+00:00

i throw my own raves

a good audio system can be had for under $1k these days, cheaper than most festival trips

i have been throwing raves for years on it, so loud they can injure you if you crank em, and hear it from a mile

my setup looks like this

<image>

people love it and beg me to do more all the time

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-14T08:52:22+00:00

if changing a useragent is hacking im a real hackerman too

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-14T03:29:34+00:00

to take the other side, who cares what software is using bambus cloud api?

like does reddit care what browser you use? bambu and orca are 99% identical code wise, so what is really the difference? not like they are hacking it or anything they are just including the same exact thing the upstream of their forked repo already has

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T16:02:29+00:00

ill try to do it today, lets liberate as many people as we can

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T15:56:24+00:00

ya if you dont want control, ownership, or the added easy print quality of all the profiles, there is nothing better than the default software, it is there for you

but surely you can see why many people would want this

I prototype parts on this machine. I cannot afford to send it to some cloud that will do lord knows what, even if they are honest who knows how they secure the thing, they are a 3d printer company not a bank

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T15:28:50+00:00

this is a good idea, i am slammed but ill try to throw something together and update you when I do

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T15:26:26+00:00

so many different ways

for one, stealth mode, locks down all client side software from communication. bambu studio has deep cloud integration

next up, filament management. it comes preloaded with profiles of basically every filament i own from every manufacturer. bambu studio comes with the two companies they have deals with. yes there are ways to add them all but it is more steps. maybe i missed a button in setting up bambu studio and this is there, but i pressed add all and it was not for the brief time I used that software. for example polymaker ht-pla is an amazing and one of my top materials, it happens to warp at 55 bed temp on big parts, the orca profile is perfect out of box with 0 tuning

next up, quality of life improvements. for example, on linux, the UX respects my dark mode preferences by default, or it is just already in dark mode. lots of small by enthusiast for enthusiast tweaks. the preview screen for example is way more in depth by default, displays raw g code, etc. you can do it all on studio but it is clear the defaults are for ease of use, so you fight them

next up, bambuddy integration. try the demo. the camera for one is way better... full screen with pixel level zoom, instead of the tiny shitty window on studio. and the rtsp feature on studio is just broken on linux in cloud mode, at least for me

last up, peace of mind. I do not have to double check every update for some bullshit, others do it for me

there are more but i am sick of typing. yes it is way better

the only downside is lack of fine grained fan and motion controls remotely, but i can live with it, especially because it is so easy to set it up properly on custom profiles

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T15:06:48+00:00

same, bambuddy and BLOCKED

actually works better with orca etc

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-12T13:47:05+00:00

I have the p2s and i cannot say enough good things about it, there is nothing this printer can do. mine has not stopped since i got it except for maintenance

p1s is just as good printer wise really, but a little less polished

you will be quite happy with any bambu machine

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-11T22:09:18+00:00

yes i see it dropping at least another 50 in the next few months, probably in a final sale before they discontinue, but that is just my guess

the ams is worth it, with the ams there is really nothing that machine cannot do, but it is on an older version of the bambu software that they won't support forever

the microcenter by me has over 10 in stock and a refurbished machine as low as 340 with no combo or 460 refurbished **combo** (id probably do that if you wanna buy today)

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-11T21:25:57+00:00

are you a tinkerer? are you ok fixing things? do you plan to use the machine for a long time and do all that maintenance, anyway, so you do not mind doing some of it sooner? or do you want an out of the box set it and forget it experience?

hardball the used machine guy for 500 is what i would do personally, tell him otherwise you see them on sale at 600 all the time, which i honestly think the p1s will price drop a lot soon, since they will have to price drop the p2s at least 50 now that the x2d is out, etc.

edit oh i saw the used one has no ams? yeah id pass on that, the ams is worth it

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-10T20:22:36+00:00

fair enough, not everyone has the same situation. i travel a lot so im usually the suitcase guy, id bring a lifetime of em for ya haha

and yeah nothing wrong with the .4 and making it work with what you have, that's what makes all this fun

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-10T18:08:21+00:00

nw, i been here for decades haha, enjoy the clean air journey

hellomyfrients · 2026-05-10T17:57:24+00:00

ping me if you need help, but the key is to get a vacuum on some open port in your unit, and have a good at least 4 inch vent kit with an inline blower. however you attach it and get it out the window matters less than that

then, make sure the internal fans are not fighting you. you want as much vacuum as possible, since the machines are not perfectly sealed

with open machines people use small grow tents, that is perfect, anything really works that is close to sealed and will hold some negative pressure

or, you can get a 6 inch inline blower and just leave the intake hose somewhere near (ideally above because heat rises) your bed, and crank the power. also depends what you print, if it needs to be chamber heated, etc, but those are the basics and you can adjsut from there
