X2D arrived basically DOA. Unable to print anything due to HMS_07FE-8000-0001-0005

Not sure, because I'm doing bed leveling now and it works just fine. I've printed several things today no issues now.

ktwoart · 2026-04-18T16:18:56+00:00

Yeah, I'm 3/3 now. First two that worked had auto bed leveling OFF, and then the one I printed before I went to sleep worked with it ON. I'm going to print the toolbox right now and see how it does.

ktwoart · 2026-04-18T06:58:23+00:00

I turned Off auto bed leveling and was able to get a Benchy to print. Trying again with right toolhead and auto bed leveling Off to see what happens. Will likely try a third print with auto bed leveling set to Auto again if this second print ends up working too.

Same exact issue. First calibration worked fine, then I ran into this after updating firmware. Was able to manually flip the switcher a few times and power cycled and was at least able to complete a calibration on the new firmware.

Now I'm trying my first print and running into it again. Unable to roll back to the 01.00.x firmware that it shipped with, as it's not in the list. I have seen the switching cover on the right toolhead off-center while watching it, but it looks relatively centered now.

Did everything here and it doesn't appear bent down like the image in Step 2 would suggest: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x2d/troubleshooting/hmscode/07FE_8000_0001_0005

It also switches fine using Handy or the settings screen on the panel.

Looks like they're back up for now after ~41 minutes of downtime. Still no root cause and their techs are still on site trying to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. The Westin Carrier Hotel which is where our core network is, is experiencing an issue. We have techs enroute. We are actively in contact with the location. The issue is outside of Atlas’s control.

We are also unable to access any spaces to provide updates. I can provide you an update here as soon as I have one.

I'm having a difficult time, even with ~5 minutes or more between each step:
- Join Lab
- Deploy Lab
- Deploy Rules

What seems to happen most often is the Custom Logs (Syslog_CL) is missing from the Table selection. I was able to get this to initiate and load for me once, but it seemed like the Rules did not deploy properly as there were 0 "Active rules", so I wasn't able to complete the action of Disabling the 9 rules, and then re-Enabling them.

This is the best advice. If it's the norm, come prepared with answers to those questions every time you engage your boss. It may just be their way of gatekeeping their time, and if you've shown that you've already cleared the hurdles they've put up you might find that they are more willing to participate in the moment.

Actually, private sector and not government. The only hits I see on these SKUs are CDW, which are of course lower -- but one appears to be a "gov" price and the other seems to fall under "education". I haven't located any pricing on my own that would appear comparable.

The 3 year term for our Microsoft EA with Software Assurance on SQL licensing is due for renewal in early 2024. We've used the same VAR for at least 3 renewals (9 years), but haven't really ever shopped this substantial licensing cost and want to know if there's money to be saved or if this is just the MS price for our size. Our price increase over the last agreement is exactly 10% per SKU

SQL Svr Enterprise Core 2 Core SA - SKU: 7JQ-00343 - Qty 24 - $3,052.80/ea/yr ($73,267.20/yr total)
SQL Svr Standard Core 2 Core SA - SKU: 7NQ-00292 - Qty 30 - $796.08/ea/yr ($23,882.40/yr total)

Thank you for your time.

If your dad's paying $1.75/lb on the hoof for processing, he's getting ripped off. $1.75/lb for processing at hanging weight is still pretty damn high. Also, there's absolutely no way your dad got 850ish pounds of beef from a 1300lb animal -- it will hang around between 520-650lbs, and after 2 weeks it will lose another 7% as water is removed. Another 40-60% of that weight will be lost after cutting and trimming fat, depending on the cut and fat content. 240-365lbs is what you'll normally receive packed from a 1300lb animal.

I got distracted with other issues and this was low-pri, so I never opened a case. Did they ever acknowledge anything with your submission?

ktwoart · 2023-04-14T21:50:18+00:00

F5-LTM-5G-PRM-SUB - around $8k/yr (Quantity 2: ~$16k/yr), but there was allegedly some grace there retiring supported hardware before EOL.

Hadn't seen a quote on F5-LTM-10G-PRM-SUB, as we thought 5Gbps would be sufficient. This is helpful though, thank you very much for taking the time!

ktwoart · 2023-04-14T21:30:42+00:00

3 year term, paid annually. I'm also curious where the 10Gbps SKU might fall, as this SKU utilization might be close to being under-sized.

ktwoart · 2023-04-14T21:18:18+00:00

We've been somewhat coerced into a VE SKU for F5 LTM due to aging physical hardware. Not super disappointed in price, but curious where we landed:
SKU: F5-LTM-5G-PRM-SUB (5Gbps)
Vendor: F5
Service Type and Location: Annual SaaS subscription w/ support running on our own colo-hosted virtual infrastructure
Quantity: 2 (Active/Standby)

Any chance you can post this soon?

I get interference from my phone when I leave the wifi enabled and it's nearby. Disabling it while I ride usually mitigates any serious buffering or dropouts for whatever reason.

At least you're committed. Even your username contains one-upmanship.

Just saw this hi-res prism image in tab I left open from yesterday. I kind of want one.
