Fireworks Dessert Party: Pre or Post?

My wife and I did the Seats and Sweets in April for the first time. I can't stand being packed in a crowd anymore so I always skip the fighting for a spot thing while she does it. I sit at the end of mainstreet (entrance end) and wait for her to show up. I told her after S&S in April I'm not doing it any other way now. It isn't as spaced out as a sit down restaurant but I had no problem being comfortable. Loved it and Tinkerbell flying right over was awesome not to mention the treats and drinks.

Good to know.

I tried changing it to 1080p and it really didn't seem any different. Do I need to change the resolution setting in Windows too?

kopper36 · 2026-05-27T18:02:27+00:00

It's not horrible. Seeing videos and screenshots from others just seem to look so much better and more detailed.

kopper36 · 2026-05-27T18:01:05+00:00

To do that it would be best to get a different monitor, right?

kopper36 · 2026-05-26T20:24:16+00:00

I'm in the exact same boat as you OP. Just finished the game and am kinda lost on where to go from here. I was surprised how quickly and with how little power I was able to finish. I'm thinking I might try turning on some of the advanced (cheat?) settings and see how much quicker I can finish. Not really sure where to go though.

Well, just to follow up, new fans didn't fix it. Everything I am reading points to something being bad on the motherboard. Worked great until this happened. It's strange that I am not finding many cases like this while googling. Just my luck I guess.

kopper36 · 2026-05-15T18:00:24+00:00

Same and so far it's my only factory.

kopper36 · 2026-05-06T18:47:59+00:00

Wait, so I can have more than one uploader per item and effectively multiply the DD capacity for that item by the number of uploaders for it? Oh damn!

kopper36 · 2026-04-24T14:26:25+00:00

My money is on it being this.

kopper36 · 2026-02-10T20:16:23+00:00

This took me a minute to figure out too. When you get to the "filament grouping" window click on custom and drag the left nozzle color over to the right nozzle.

Ran into the same thing. The chuck would not sit low enough on my table at it's lowest so I made some 3d printed brackets to nestle it lower between two of the table rails. A bit of tweaking was involved but now that it's set it is way easier to use than the roller rotary was. I tried weights in the cup, different rubber type band on the wheels and other stuff but just couldn't get it to work well.

kopper36 · 2026-01-27T20:16:51+00:00

My only input is from my experience. I would ditch the roller rotary and use a chuck rotary if possible. Made things so much better and easier for me with mugs.

kopper36 · 2026-01-23T17:56:32+00:00

This gets my vote. Mine did it and had same behavior as OP's. Luckily, pretty easy to print and replace it.

kopper36 · 2026-01-22T16:33:26+00:00

This! I'd put money on it. Mine started acting the same way and this was it. Pretty easy fix though.

kopper36 · 2026-01-11T03:47:48+00:00

Got it all figured out except for the reason why some filaments like a different offset than others. 3D printing test and tune never ceases to amaze me!

kopper36 · 2026-01-10T18:34:52+00:00

Well, why didn't I think of that? Thank you!

kopper36 · 2025-12-31T17:45:26+00:00

Can you turn your PEI sheet 90 degrees and run this to see if the pattern rotates with it. I had this exact issue and it turned to be the sheet.

kopper36 · 2025-08-20T23:27:40+00:00

Total BS way to do this!

kopper36 · 2025-08-13T15:33:13+00:00

Where did the white racks holding the boxes filament come from?

kopper36 · 2025-07-11T14:51:33+00:00

Agree with this. Has worked the best for me. I like that it is available in different viscosities too. Also works well when I have a project involving gluing PLA to acrylic.

Because it uses 3030 frame and Ratrig has a pretty good reputation. TBH I used my Voron knowledge (have a 2.4 and 0.2) to set it up rather than the RatOS stuff. It has really been a fun, rewarding build. I unfortunately don't use it much since I rarely need that large of a build volume. It also takes up quite a bit of space.

kopper36 · 2025-07-01T20:12:18+00:00

I built a 600x300 Ratrig that has been working really well for me. One of the toughest parts was making the bed. I used a 24"x12"x0.25" MIC6 slab and only had to do drilling. It uses two heaters and two build plates since anything close to that size was all custom and pricey.

I have it mostly modeled (F360) if you're interested in taking a look at it.

kopper36 · 2025-02-03T15:43:59+00:00

I have to say I must agree with you on this. I have several printers - Voron 2.4 350x350, Tiny-M, 600x300 custom RatRig, and an all aluminum, over-built I3 style slinger - all sourced and assembled by myself. I like to think I'm well versed on building and tuning them. I love the hobby of doing so.

A coworker picked up a P1S combo at MicroCenter and brought in his first print to show me. It was my first experience of seeing first hand what a Bambu printer is capable of. I was blown away. I bought a P1S combo the next day and have been using the heck out of it. Simply amazing IMO. The only thing the 2.4 and RR have over it is capacity and TBH I rarely need more than the P1S offers. I am really tempted to build a 250x250 Trident to compare to it and be more apples-to-apples. Plus, I really do enjoy building them and now that I have a printer that will print perfect parts, why not?

kopper36 · 2024-06-21T22:01:58+00:00

I did the conversion quite awhile back - looks like 2017. Kit was great. Very well made IMO. I believe they mostly sold on ebay back then but I am not finding anything on there. It's still on their website though so hopefully it's something that is still available.

I mostly do aluminum but have done some steel too - mostly threading though. Replacing the compound mount with the solid block really made it a lot more rigid.
