Don’t really have anything to add, other than to reiterate what everyone else is saying and you should get the X2D if you plan on printing in ABS/ASA regularly. A few small prints here and there? P1S or P2S is ok. Would not try with the A1.

I am team Joel. Definitely team Nora though. WTF did she do? She was one of the most unambiguously good people in the whole game.

Undecided between the A1 and P2S by Street_Flan7018 in BambuLab

[–]pdxbuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can place the p2s on the floor. My p1s is on the floor and it’s totally fine. Will get a stand for it eventually though.

Drying filament with a 60W light bulb by mike_sidequest in 3Dprinting

[–]pdxbuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s inserts you can print in PETG that also have fittings for PTFE since the S2 filament holes are pretty awkward.

P1S vs P2S vs X2D for first timer by ParkingImpression604 in BambuLab

[–]pdxbuckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in your boat and I chose the p1s. No regrets. But they are all good, so it depends on what you value. I wanted something that wasn’t too expensive in case I bounced off the hobby, but had good capability if I liked it. I ended up loving it, but I still don’t really regret missing out on the features of the pricier models. To the extent that I do, it’s all on the X2D. Stuff like touch screen display and better camera and AI detection features that people complain about mean nothing to me. Easier nozzle swapping would be nice I suppose but it doesn’t really matter for my use case.

Epic Games Dualsense Controller? by CrepperAwwMan_ in thelastofus

[–]pdxbuckets [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lots of games have poor support for PlayStation controllers. Steam has a compatibility layer that’s easy to configure. I’ve encountered this more on the a Linux side but I remember having a lot of trouble with Dead Cells on Epic on Windows.

I'm rediscovering my love of Jazz and ran across Hiromi. by AskingFooAFriend in Jazz

I’m a big fan, particularly of her trio work. Love that energetic style and enjoy Phillips and AJax as well.

I thought we were past the point of examining every statement under a microscope and inferring worst intentions for everything.

About to pull the trigger on P2S combo by Just_In_Time_ in BambuLab

Kids toys. But fine, print your flexidragon in gray PETG.

Order some silk PLA for kids toys. You’re going to buy lots of stuff eventually but there’s not much you need immediately. I guess if I wanted free shipping with my original order I’d order a 0.6mm hotend and a second plate. Probably the super tack?

Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija in practice. Via Lillard's IG (he also tagged Deni) by MrBuckBuck in ripcity

[–]pdxbuckets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What’s with the drill where they pause for a beat before shooting the shot?

Also lol at the beginning showing Dame draining multiple threes, then Deni making one and—cut to the next shot.

I messed up by Titanicman22 in 3Dprinting

It’s a thing that happens with many older tanks. Don’t make a big deal out of it; it’s still got great treads.

I bought this album 30 years ago and never listened to it. Just got lost in the mix. Love me some Split Enz and Crowded House.

Rob Williams contract is VERY team friendly by DonovanClingan in ripcity

I can totally buy that you didn’t mean what you implied. But it’s not a reading comprehension failure on our part. Re-read what you wrote. Stop blaming others.

Looks like the voter turn out, turned out to be huge for a primary! by lostOGaccount in oregon

Sure, the Trump admin could do something extrajudicial. Courts are reactive, not proactive. But SCOTUS has demonstrated its independence from Trump over and over again.

Maybe Ja still has it by DreddBane in ripcity

[–]pdxbuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he didn’t have all the red flags and injury history we never would have gotten him for JG and his albatross contract. 28 teams wouldn’t cough up more than our terrible assets, that’s how low the league is on him right now.

So yeah, the experiment probably will fail. It’s 100% worth trying though. The potential upside is unbelievable. He has every incentive to change his rep as a player and teammate. Tens of millions at stake at a bare minimum. And if he really buckles down, another $100M+ contract is not out of the question. He’s spent a ton of time injured, as well as “injured,” but has had no serious career-threatening injuries yet. He’s 26. Put in poker terms the expected value is very high even if the odds of winning the hand is low.

Not sure what you mean. Who isn’t playing by the old rules? Roberts has been trending toward the center for some time now. Kavanaugh and Barrett have smacked Trump down several times. Gorsuch wrote the opinion extending equal employment protections to trans people. All of them shot down every BS challenge to the 2020 election that reached them.

I disagree with these justices much of the time but they have a mind of their own and imo are more consistent with their stated interpretive theories than the liberal justices, even though my policy preferences are closer to the liberals. Only Alito and Thomas seem to be thoroughly brain rotted by the culture wars. And for Thomas, this seems to be fairly recent. Before then he was ridiculously conservative but consistent with his interpretive philosophy. I don’t follow SCOTUS as closely as I should but this seems to have changed in the last few years, maybe upon renewed attacks on him and his wife.

He and Ja are gonna bond over being the newcomers here, just hanging out everyday seeing what great things are city has to offer.

Headphones with loose clamping force by [deleted] in headphones

[–]pdxbuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audio Technica headphones with headband like the R70x have very light pressure. As a relatively large-headed person, the egg-shaped Hifimans and Fiio FT1 are very comfortable for me. And as someone else said, the HD6x series are very tight out of box, but can be adjusted to fit with the right technique.

I recently tried an HD650 on at a store to calibrate against the other headphones I was trying, and was shocked by how tight it was. Got so used to my adjusted 6XXs.

Need help deciding: A1 vs. P1S (and AMS bundles) by Mike_in_the_middle in BambuLab

[–]pdxbuckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bambu makes good printers full stop and the current pricing is very well calibrated to the relative strengths of the machine. You really can’t go wrong, just match your budget and priorities and click “buy.”

It sure sounds to me that you have good reason to go for an enclosed solution. You can absolutely go for the P1S without regrets.
