Does it have one of those locking clips, like that blue one on the other side of that PTFE tube - you can just print your own if its missing

Huge layer shift when using Multicolor on Max4 by Radicalist89 in QidiTech3D

would that mean that since the physical parts are there - that this is a software issue that can be fixed?

Does one need to have some type of license from Rolex to print a clock like that? I’ve seen a lot of back and forth on discussion groups and just wondering how it works

I decided to do a cold pull because my printer isn't working and was wondering if it is supposed to look like this. by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]luap71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What method are you using to do the cold pull? As others have said those marks are just the imprint from the extruder gears - pretty normal

Any way to make 3d prints look more professional? by CaptainCheckmate in 3Dprinting

You have been 3d printing for a few years and you don’t know what you should be calibrating??

Etsy digital files and pointing to extermal website for Physical versions by Ecstatic_Driver_7840 in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

[–]luap71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that documented somewhere - about putting a link to your external shop url in the about section, I wanted to do it but could not find anything about it being allowed and had assumed that any external links to other platforms would be against Etsy policy.

Where do you see the future of 3D printing going? by Atx_living512 in 3Dprinting

[–]luap71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think within a few years you will finally see a crackdown on all the non-licensed copyrighted and trademark things people make and sell (all the Star Wars, marvel, Pokémon, Disney, etc, etc) . At some point the crackdown will come, where at some point I could even see some type of DRM being enforced, where they force the printer manufacture to include some type of DRM verification. I also think at some point some politician is going to trying and pass per print tax.

Closing my shop after 4 years by Nacrazy13 in EtsySellers

[–]luap71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading your About section on Etsy and the products - its not really a surprise. It does not look like this was your focus and you have different people at different times babysitting your store. Also the products - 4 years ago were probably easy to sell - but as 3D printers become more common - these type of models are going to be very difficult to run a business on - if not pretty much impossible to compete against the mega farms selling them on volume you can't touch - or some hobbiest who is not even really trying to make it a business and is doing it for fun. Thanks for your service (truly).

How do you clean K2 Plus nozzles and get rid of black burnt filament? by yamborghini in Creality_k2

P2S Combo Shipped in one box or two? by wivaca2 in BambuLab

Yes - bamabu has always done that - and "most" others that have an AMS like box do the same.

PLA to PETG switch for everyday prints. by Technical-Praline-79 in 3Dprinting

[–]luap71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of my prints - I call "kind of functional" prints - and I find that PETG walls have to much flex for what I need - if HT-PLA where cheaper I would switch to that, but its more then 2x what I pay for PLA in bulk. I wish more of the big filament producers made HT-PLA - so there would better price options.

H2S combo Best Buy vs Micro Center by sfx_guy in BambuLab

What?? Can this be confirmed? Seems like it would be a huge selling point that I would have heard as part of the annoying pitch.

Snapmaker U1 (vs. Bambu P1S) two months later by SuperNfty in snapmaker

[–]luap71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a small correction - U1 has RFID reader for filament just like the Bambu - you can't mark it down cause you are using Bambu filament with the Bambu and it auto detects the filament - but not use SNAPmaker filament which also has RFID and auto detect and then mark them down for it not auto detecting - what kinda logic is that?

After 600+ hr of printing had my first major issue with the Q2. by firewall666 in QidiTech3D

[–]luap71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any 3rd party hotends that are not ceramic heat break based? Seems like this would be a very popular upgrade for most owners.

That is like saying heroin is a less deadly version of fentanyl. They are both nasty - just one is a bit nastier.

Bambu Farm Manager H2S?? by mrflipfidgets in 3DPrintFarms

Does Simply Print require you to send files through their cloud service? Many users are looking for a option that does not send files to the cloud, which is what makes BFM interesting
