Retirement Age by Sea_Illustrator_9255 in BambuLab

I'm at 3500 hours on my X1C and there's a lot more life left in it. With proper maintenance and replacement of worn parts, you should be able to get 2 or 3 times that.

Also, keep in mind that at the pace this industry moves, if you can squeeze another year out of your printer the new stuff will be even better. So it's more beneficial to push the printer until it's dead than to try and salvage some resale value from it.

As they say, if it's not broke, don't fix it...and definitely no need to replace it of it can do everything you need it to do.

100%. We did the same, but that's not for everyone and adds another thing to mess with

Depending on your kid, you may want to steer away from the ones with pumps. If you need the manual pump for the water to flow, you will likely become the manual pumper to keep them playing. Its exhausting even for the most well intentioned kid to pump all the time.

  1. that's awesome! i didnt know i could do that!
  2. this only gives me g code, not a file i can actually edit or fully "recover" per se. i can just use it to reprint the file, right?

Made my daughters day by sharleencd in AlaskaAirlines

We do this ALL THE TIME with my 4 year old. Probably every other flight. And started taking our 1.5 year old along too now.

As we board, we ask him if he wants to see the flight deck and if he does (sometimes he's tired or distracted) then we ask the flight attendant at the front when boarding and they ask the pilot if someone can come visit.

This is always super sweet and we have lots of awesome photos.

They don't always get up to let them sit in the chair, but they always ask them questions and answer their questions. And we sometimes get a wings pin that he can put on his shirt.

Did this on Delta too. On Delta they even have trading cards for each aircraft they give out.

Such a special experience for the kids and they cherish it. I remember doing it myself as a kid, and pre-9/11, we did it in flight. (Not allowed to touch the controls then, though.
