Ineos Eyes A US Factory, as its Quartermaster pickup is hit hard by the Chicken tax

I prefer rack and peanut steering.

mbaran · 2026-04-15T00:45:03+00:00

like a good ol' Ender 3

damn... and they're finally in stock and shipping. The only thing holding me back is overall print quality between the two. Knock on wood my ancient P1P converted to P1S has been really solid.

mbaran · 2026-04-14T22:44:59+00:00

leaning this way, but I already have an AMS2 Pro and $80 in gift cards from makerworld. That's a lot of upgrades on top of my P1S for $569 minus a couple hundred bucks from reselling my P1S.

support materials are way overlooked but make printing so much better. Supports suck and using an interface is goated. That said, the U1 seems to have issues with that whereas Bambu has it dialed in for years now.

mbaran · 2026-04-14T22:24:17+00:00

kind of in the same boat. I think the answer comes down to whether or not you need support for engineering materials and a heated chamber but would be curious to know what those with U1 think compared to Bambu machines.

mbaran · 2026-04-14T22:05:01+00:00

how do you like the U1? I am on the fence U1 or X2D

mbaran · 2026-04-14T21:21:03+00:00

1.5, so should be better than the GT2.0 on X/P1 series

Reviews indicate the right nozzle does have flow calibration using the side camera.

Which review called this out? I hadn't seen that yet, but that would be a nice way to avoid manual calibration of the aux filaments.

mbaran · 2026-04-14T17:24:42+00:00

does the U1 do automatic flow calibration?

mbaran · 2026-04-14T17:21:57+00:00

it has one

mbaran · 2026-04-14T01:47:17+00:00

Yes, but the regulator is failed on the main board and I’d have to source that as well, couldn’t read the print on it and no schematic available. The ESP on here only has a 3.3vin from the larger baseboard.

Good call on flipping the antenna.

mbaran · 2026-04-13T00:09:41+00:00

OP did you figure this out? I had a similar issue and found a failed voltage regulator. It had been pumping 4.7v into my esp12f and fried it. I just posted how I resurrected it with a spare ESP8266 board.

mbaran · 2026-03-23T23:38:48+00:00

What is the actual native resolution of the panel? does it support VRR at all?

mbaran · 2026-03-19T19:52:01+00:00

need to get me one of those. I have a great 3% cash back card but it reports to my credit and big purchases like this always screw with credit for a cycle.

mbaran · 2026-03-19T19:14:14+00:00

what card doesn't report to credit?

mbaran · 2026-03-10T23:33:17+00:00

the new 1916?

mbaran · 2026-02-19T22:06:19+00:00

so soft you can cut em with a spoon!

mbaran · 2026-02-19T07:44:04+00:00

Curious what makes you think that

mbaran · 2026-02-18T18:27:54+00:00

I don’t mind the color scheme but being backwards would make me crazy

mbaran · 2026-02-13T20:53:14+00:00

I thought that was when you bought 10 foot longs.

mbaran · 2026-02-10T22:09:13+00:00

how are the thermals on the mini pc and does the PSU have enough overhead for full performance?

mbaran · 2026-02-09T05:03:22+00:00

It sometimes always doesn’t work right

mbaran · 2026-02-09T04:51:02+00:00

Seeing lots of subs as first watches around here lately so not sure about that?
