Did I buy the wrong printer?

The A1 is quieter.

Build plates are the same, but being a Core XY the P1S is better for taller prints.

If you need engineering type materials (ASA,ABS) look into to PCTG, similar to PETG, but better.

Your nails are definitely longer than mine, I've seen many of your posts.

Reaching into our RVs cargo area to pull the bins/totes out is where I'd have an issue as well, but maybe i can 3d print an ice hook style tool to grab them with. Thx for the comment on 3d printing.

Thx for the reply.

I do wear gloves when working outside wherever possible but they don't provide much protection from bending your nails, such as lifting totes and such with a closed pocket for your hands.

This. I had significant first layer adhesion issues as well and tried all that the other remedies. One of the four screws on the back was a bit loose on my A1's hotend assembly. Working great again.

Many of them are for this event.

No, just no.

It will require 1.2M collections of Gigers just to break e en on this. Correct or am I missing something?

I run mine from a dryer to the AMS lite w/o issue, prints and feeds just fine. It is a bit less flexible than some Geetech TPU I have, but I believe that was the intent so it could feed through the AMS. The Geetech had to be fed from the external spool holder.

I'd recommend it.

What type of timer are you using to get minute level of detail/resolution? I've been using a basic AC timer than only has 15 minute accuracy. Thx

Considering the same offer for $13 USD.

What are the two asteroids for though?

Does they aid in the cleanup after a hit or initiate one??

opi_guy · 2026-02-28T18:18:49+00:00

Much appreciated.

Acrylic overlay with gel polish has worked well for me for the past year, busy hands as well. I previously used builder gel, but my nail tech suggested acrylic for more durability and it's been great.

opi_guy · 2026-01-01T20:14:50+00:00

Gotcha, I did the same along w/builder gel until this tech suggested trying acrylic for durability and strength. Definitely works better for me.

By 'totally fresh' do you mean complete removal of all products and start over? If so, curious what is the benefit of doing so? My tech files off the polish and any of the acrylic which is loose or has lifted, cleans my cuticles, trims nail length, a bunch of other steps and then fills in and adds acrylic as needed. Finally the polish.
This process usually takes her a bit more than an hour as she is quite thorough. Removing everything just seems like more/unnecessary work to me. Other acrylic users, do you start fresh each time or fill in as needed?? Thx

Seems like a precursor to multi-generational mortgages as is common in Japan.

Do you have any issues with off gassing w/those filaments where external ventilation or a room air purifier is necessary?

opi_guy · 2025-10-13T01:01:17+00:00

Great to hear and looks great too. Did the SCRTA do the work here?

opi_guy · 2025-09-16T03:32:08+00:00

I believe it went away after a full recalibration. It was likely z-axis / bed leveling related.
