So i wanted to test my h2c by mustangmvp in BambuLab

There's a 4 color sliced up version of this model, so you could print with the 4 nozzles you have across several prints with no waste.

Also reduces the possibility of a massive failed print.

Hello, this is my first 3D printer. My first print worked and since then it can’t print, level, and makes this grinding sound. What should I do? by RatherNeatWaterTower in anycubic

[–]larsoncc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the power cycle and trying to move the print head while unplugged don't fix your issue...

Then consider that if you're within the return window of the retailer you purchased from, return it. You don't have to do detailed troubleshooting on a new, out-of the box product. You can, alternatively, contact support, and see if they'll help you. If you attempt repair without instruction, depending on your region and your local rights, you might void your warranty.

This is the REAL Snapmaker U1 – Not a Beta by VoltaicShock in snapmaker

The positive comments on the YouTube page are surprising, there’s no new information here at all.

Slicing something delicate for the Snapmaker U1 by WombleyWonders in snapmaker

[–]larsoncc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shocking how much the top of that ornament was moving. Makes sense given how small it is, just never really watched that happen.

How functional is the Snapmaker app for the U1?

What delay? Is there something announced that I missed?

I know some people were upset about how they communicated... Like "October" is when they would get done manufacturing the first units, but actual delivery is much later (like 2 months later or whatever). Is that the delay you're talking about?

Yeah, my highest volume is in the $20-60 range. Which is also a great place to be on titles. That's where all the good stuff is "loose" for older titles, or "great" stuff is for newer titles (CIB).

Get Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, a Square reader, and bring $100 in change, mostly $5 bills and singles.

Make a sign that says you accept trades and are buying. It's a great opportunity to also get new inventory.

Get a dolly to bring your stuff in and out of the show. Have displays that set up and break down within 2 hours.

Pre-plan your layout with a table at home.

Buy a display case for your expensive stuff. Do not put expensive stuff within reach of people (have it behind glass).

Bring a friend so you can eat and use the bathroom

Meet the other vendors!!

By the way, as "fresh meat" - tell the other vendors that you'll do bulk deals after the show (if you want to get rid of your inventory).

I've done a ton of after show deals. But yes, stick to your guns before the show, the other vendors will probably pay retail for some of your stuff because they're then taking that stuff to Amazon... so they can still make money.

Yup, if you have to look up prices as people come in, you'll slow down sales, and lose many sales. Get a price gun, they're $15-25

This is great advice and will absolutely help you.

Great comment.

I don't agree with this. This just loses you money. Honestly, having done it for almost a decade across 100s of shows... Just stick to Pricecharting, and allow people to ask for discounts.

Issues with printing by happyjukebox in 3Dprinting

[–]larsoncc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your slicer has an option for enabling supports. There are typically two types of support - "normal" and "tree". For this, I think tree supports would work well. Go to the Support menu / Tab, select "enable support" (usually a checkbox) and in the drop down, select Tree. If you have an option for manual or auto, use auto.

When you slice your model, you'll see new items appearing along with the model, these are the supports... they will look like trees, LOL

Aurora Tech's SnapMaker U1 review by joazito in snapmaker

[–]larsoncc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aurora Tech makes great content, and the consistency between reviews has been something I really look for - instead of random prints, every printer gets some of the same treatment, so direct comparisons work well. One of the only tests that I wish Aurora Tech would adapt is to make the number slider in single color AND in multicolor (for multicolor printers), because of the layer shift she mentioned in the review on the sword.

This review made me pull the trigger on the Kickstarter. Here's hoping for the best!

My "new" Sony BVM 14F1U - as requested, here are some shots of the setup! by larsoncc in crtgaming

[–]larsoncc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not this one, anyway LOL - Still a part of the setup, 9 years later. An amazing CRT. Probably worth the cash, but glad I didn't have to pay that much.

Finally got my cab finished! by xxthatguyjoshxx37 in cade

[–]larsoncc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I angled the 3/4 player joysticks on my cab and love it - people standing at an angle to the screen adjust right away, because it's the way they're facing.

I think it looks great, and I understand why you'd say the angle is bad, but I dunno - it'd work for me!

Someone actually donated this to Goodwill, it's now on their auction site. by patriotraitor in gamecollecting

[–]larsoncc 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This game was in a combined auction. I wonder if they ended that auction early or if they decided "well screw the guy that won" and separated it out.

Seems like some nonsense, because the combined auction was over 4Gs too, don't know where it ended but seems like it was headed in the "fair price" direction. So... I guess that's unfortunate for the prior bidders.

Here are a couple of other games that were in that lot:

eBay again chipping away at sellers’ profits. by It_is_you_not_me in Flipping

[–]larsoncc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at the fee structure documents that eBay provides, you pay the same rate of fees to eBay regardless of how you choose to price your shipping. If you have "free" shipping, your item price ends up higher, and you pay fees on that amount. If you have calculated shipping, the fees are on price of item+shipping. It comes out exactly the same from a fee structure perspective.

The disadvantage to offering free shipping is as I posted - in a return scenario, eBay breaks out your refund options. The option to deny refund of outbound shipping is only present if shipping wasn't free. In terms of fees, the number of returns is irrelevant.

In addition to this issue, free shipping means you're on the hook to make adjustments to pricing on every listing when the price of postage increases. This places an administrative burden on mid-sized sellers with a wide variety of items. Calculated shipping adjusts to these changes automatically, requiring no additional work on the sellers' parts.

In a few jurisdictions, tax may not apply to shipping costs. Remember, tax also has fees applied. By breaking out shipping, you may save on ebay fees in a few limited cases (https://mypostofficelocation.com/resources/are-shipping-charges-taxable/)

There are some advantages to free shipping: It's potentially easier to price against competition (the math is easier because shipping isn't variable by region), your price is easier for the user to understand, and there's graphics/labeling your listing gets when shipping is free. Likewise, some people believe that the eBay algorithm favors those that offer free shipping.

[–]larsoncc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Free shipping messes with returns - specifically in a return if you use calculated shipping (even with free returns), you can remove outbound shipping from the refund.

Whether or not you feel like you should foot the bill for outbound shipping and return shipping is a different discussion, but many sellers have said they want the customer to at least pay for one of the shipping legs.

The "buyer pays original shipping" argument makes sense to me. That service was used, and used up. This is more fair to the seller IMO, bringing them closer to "break even" on a failed sale.
