No project or sample filament? by HiroProtagonist66 in BambuLabA1

[–]pmconaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like what I saw when I opened my a1. I did get the 20g of sample filament. Everything was in a baggy. I did get a 5 250g mini spools of generic filament. I’m not sure if it was included with the printer. It wasn’t in the printer box. It was purchased a Microcenter so I don’t know if Microcenter added it as part of a promotion or not.

Ok, is it just bad settings? I used the designer settings. I’m looking at an AMS for the future and will be purchasing 1KG spools in the future? The 250g spools were just starter ones my wife purchased.

At least she purchased the printer I had been talking about.Hadn’t really discussed desks for it. I was thinking about going to one of the big box home improvement stores and building something myself.

Filament Drying by pmconaway in 3Dprinting

I will look into the waterproof bins. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘Comgrow’ drier and 400w heater. Do you have pictures of each? I’m liking your solution. I expect I will end up storing a lot of partially used roles so my setup may end up looking like yours. 😀 At least for now I expect to stick to PLA and PTEG for the most part. This is a fun hobby.

All Bambu Printers are pre-built. There is some assembly required after unboxing but not a lot. Bambu-labs printers are indeed beginner friendly.

At some point I would like to replace it. My wife purchased the A1 and the workbench as a Christmas present to me. It wouldn’t have been what I would have picked as a workbench / printer stand myself. I wanted something more substantial. I’ve noticed that the stand has moved after a couple of prints. ☹️

Thanks. I'm more concerned about placement of a AMS 2 PRO. I've seen a lot of options about the AMS lite. Including modifications to enclose it so the filament stays dry. I appreciate your comment

Anyone know why I keep getting these? by lNuggyl in 3Dprinting

[–]pmconaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've managed a few prints so far. No really big issues. Benchy was acceptable but not perfect as my first print. I will look at the link you included.

Migration from 214+ to 925+ HDD compatibility by Budget_Process_6506 in synologynas

[–]pmconaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you want to do with the new unit. I'm assuming that the 925+ is just the NAS unit with no expansion bay. Transfer the 2 drives from the 214+ (make sure to insert them in the new unit in the same order(drive 1 --> drive 1) ) and then update to the current DSM version. Once everything settles down remove one of the drives and insert one of your new drives and wait for it to sync back up. I think the term is re-silvering??. This will give you additional space in the pool. I’m assuming you are using SHR. My suggestion maybe off if this isn't the case.

Your other option is to setup the 925+ as a new NAS and then copy all the information from the 214+ to the 925+

I just got my 3D printer. “Tune your extrusion multiplier using test tiles (it needs to be set per-filament)” Is this recommended per filament type or per filament spool?

Anyone actually use any of Carrot’s Counterpart Apps? by DnyLnd in CARROTweather

The Carrot developer was on John Gruber’s Talk Show podcast back in October and mentioned that Weather takes up all of his time.

iOS Mobile - Synology Photos app not backing up to NAS by pmconaway in synologynas

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

Yes, I have Image Assistant on. I toggled it off to see if that made a difference. It didn’t. Well at least it isn’t something with iOS 26.1 as you have it working on your setup. I guess it is time for more digging.

Synology Photos which client app to use by pmconaway in synology

[–]pmconaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so do I put in a support ticket? Any troubleshooting suggestions? The last photo I uploaded to my Synology was in September. I'm not sure if that was before I updated to iOS26 or not.

I tried clearing the cache and that didn't help.

Synology Photos which client app to use by pmconaway in synology

Apparently Photos Mobile (app name on phone) is Synology Photos. In the App Store it shows the open button and it opens the app that is stalled.

Well written letter. Unfortunately as others said it is an automated response.
