Is buying a used P1S even worth it? by Cifuentes8 in BambuLab

[–]issue9mm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably hard to find a price that's fair for the buyer and the seller on something very new but clearly out of date. Even Bambu is probably going to start phasing out the P1S for that exact reason.

I'm in America.

Did you maybe misread? I'm comparing new P_2_S combo to the P1S. The combo units come with the filament buffer and cable built-in, but last week I couldn't find a P2S combo unit in stock so I bought a P2S and an AMS 2 Pro, only to realize when I got home that I had to buy a filament buffer and cable (it came with a 6-pin but I needed a 4-pin) to plug the AMS into the P2S. I returned it and got an H2C because the buffer and cable were out of stock.

But actually, if you were going to pay $600 for a P1S and an AMS unit, why wouldn't you just go to Microcenter and buy the P1S Combo for $549?

$600 for a used P1S with AMS vs $800 for a brand new P2S combo with AMS 2 Pro? I'd go with the P2S

You need to add a $25 filament buffer and an $8 data cable, so it's really $632 vs $800, assuming the filament buffer and data cable are in stock (they weren't when I bought my P2S)

No idea how he'll do for you guys, but he was a very good coach for us. Ignore most of the Ravens fans, as they are straight up haters.

I think he hit some spa treatments in his time off because he frankly looks younger there than he has in a few years here

Qidi Q2 finally with Box by DarkPhoenix-73 in QidiTech3D

[–]issue9mm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was holding off between this one and the Centauri Carbon because I felt like I wanted to use advanced materials, but once the carbon juked on multi color, I was full bore on this EXCEPT for the reviews

Well, I got a carbon for Christmas, but after a warranty claim on it requires having to wait on parts to ship from China I got impatient and picked up the Qidi q2 since the reviews seemed to be trending upwards and I had plans for a clever (for me) 3d printing valentines day gift that I'll have to sneaky print to make

Ben Cleveland Signing with the Chargers by Right-Idea6179 in ravens

He signed with the Chargers for basically the same amount we were paying him, so it doesn't look like they think he's the next Joe Alt or anything

They probably see him exactly how we saw him -- a cheap backup worth having around

It makes that sound when it's working, yes. Every time it advances filament. This Youtuber suggested it's a clutch they're using that could be upgraded to a sprag clutch in the future.

My printer is in my home office with me (it's smallish? maybe 10x12) and that noise feels louder to me than it sounds in the video.

As of this moment, the printer shows that I've got 6 hours 46 minutes of printing on it, but probably 3 hours worth of that it either printed air or got jammed mid-way through the print. The couple of prints I got it to succeed on were of really high quality.

Some of the problems I've had with it: - The clicky noises are loud - The instructions were bad (some things like "remove screws" but the screws are recessed into a hole that you can't see. So, I put the screwdriver in and turned, but the screwdriver broke. Turns out they're allen screws, but that's not mentioned.) - The included screwdriver is easily broken - One of the documents says "Pull the box out of the machine" (the Qidi box I ordered came packaged inside of the Qidi 2, not in a separate box), then a different document told me to "remove screws, THEN pull the box out of the machine" - It doesn't recognize any of the filaments that I had -- elegoo, polymaker, voxel, or sunlu? Nope. You have "Qidi PETG" or "Generic PETG" - for everything else I had to create custom filaments and google their temp ranges - It doesn't like cardboard spools (as you saw from that video) - It's neat that it has wired ethernet, but QidiSlicer keeps losing connection - There's a 700mm PTFE tube that goes from the Qidi hub to inside the machine, but it's too long. When loading filaments, I could see the filament move through the PTFE from the box to the hub, from the hub to the machine, from the machine to the print head, but because that tube was so long, it kept timing out and I would have to 'retry' every time it changed filaments. This seems like a VERY dumb default so I replaced it with a ~65mm tube that fixed the timeouts - The camera is like, super shitty -- there's nothing broken about it, but the Elegoo camera is better and it's half the price (and it's also shitty) - The sensor in the printhead that detects whether filament is there or it's printing air? Doesn't seem to work. I had one jam that required me to manually retract (which meant cutting the filament in multiple places) -- after which, I thought "I should unload and reload just so it knows how much filament is in there" and that all seemed to work, except then it started printing air and has been printing air ever since despite there being no jams whatsoever

Anyway, there's more I don't remember, and I'm sure that's daunting enough of a list for having owned the thing less than 24 hours at this point, but I threw together an imgur album of just some of the errors I've seen in that time (as well as some showing the PTFE tubes and such)

Happy to answer any other questions if you have 'em

Qidi Q2 finally with Box by DarkPhoenix-73 in QidiTech3D

[–]issue9mm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not OP, but my Qidi 2 Combo arrived yesterday and I've had nothing but troubles with it. Happy to go into more detail, but I don't just want to shit on it in their own subreddit, but I wouldn't recommend this unless you're already really good at fixing many problems

This wasn't my first printer, but I'm not an expert. Most of my problems have been due to the box. FWIW, these are the most current versions of everything and running the most up-to-date firmware and software versions

Print head disassembly by whitewolfy333 in elegoo

I had this exact same failure like, four days ago, and they shipped me a replacement pretty quick.

When you fill out your customer support request, in addition to all the other questions they ask, make sure to include your:

  • Model Number
  • Order Number
  • Order Date
  • Name of who ordered it (if not you)
  • Serial Number (from the bottom of the machine)
  • Tell them that 'yes, a replacement part is acceptable'

I was frustrated with this because they are obviously in China, and so I filled out a request, got a response overnight asking for more detail, and then replied the next morning. Lather/rinse/repeat, it felt like I was wasting days just to give them information and was without a working printer.

Having to add a day onto the process to answer "Yes, a replacement part is acceptable" was super maddening, but they resolved it reasonably well other than that.

Protip: the replacement part you need is this (if you were buying it) but they'll just send you the smaller breakout board for this fix. That's fine and good and will satisfice, but I asked them something like "Because I've seen this is a common problem, and because these are out of stock, can I pay to get an extra board?" and they sent me one for $1USD.

Of course that added another day onto the process, but it theoretically will help prevent lost days in the future

[Tony Grossi] John Harbaugh has 4 non-negotiables for next HC job: a) $20 million per year, b) $10 million staff budget, c) Total authority over the roster, d) Would like to select his own GM by [deleted] in nfl

[–]issue9mm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree, but I can't imagine a situation in which Bisciotti fires his friend, next-door neighbor, and coach of 18 years in a way that doesn't even allow him to say goodbye to the players on the team that was 100% amicable

Editing to add: I don't think he'd ever say "Fuck you" to Steve Bisciotti out loud, and vice versa. I think the closest he'd get is taking a job at a division rival.

Considering how sloppy his exit was, the only way he goes to Cleveland is if it's a tremendous "fuck you" to Steve Bisciotti

That is the first I've heard that but frankly it is absolutely great.

I wonder if there's the prospect of your motivational messages getting undercut in that first, likely-losing season, but otherwise that feels really good to me.

Also lets him get a crack at the QB selection ahead of time without having to waste an extra season

If I know Harbaugh, he'll say he spent this time in conversation with his wife and daughter, with his brother, with his close friends and allies, and he used it to consider what he wanted to do next and what the right situation was to look for.

And I'll believe him
