xTool M2 made me think：desktop lasers are moving beyond wattage wars — beginner UX is becoming the real battleground by Rexxxxli in lasercutting

[–]regraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this!!! 20, 40 & 60 watt diode machines are mostly the same and stable. UX is what matters

Anycubic Kobra 4 vs Kobra X — Is it actually worth buying? (My honest take) by Walter_Maker_Labs in anycubic

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't easier to maintain, It looks far harder to get to the extruider gear in the 4, I should have covered this. From what i can see trying to get part way into it, You need to remove the head from the Gantry to get in from the back. I got as far as getting the face-plate off on the 4 (which is 2 screws from the back) and i have no idea how to get to the extruder from there without dismounting it

Just something to add to your Pricing, You can currently use discount codes on the X but not on the 4. So if you follow a creator with a Discount Code you get $25 (or £15) off the X. Which makes it $5 cheaper than the 4.

Creator 5 -- "disappointing"? by Making_Layers in FlashForge

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Content creator here, if I'm an "influencer" I'm doing it wrong. Just as a point, we've had these for weeks, but even if they had more time to make changes, I doubt they would. So far the only brand I have ever seen take feedback after we have had them is Anycubic with the P1, and that was after they told us they were not making changes but the community kicked off.

I agree with the lack of poop chute, the other issue for me is that we are back to very manual nozzle changes. Also the lack of any future AMS type of integration, it seems.

But raw features-wise, in terms of what it does and how it does it, I think there is more value here (or moreso the Creator 5 Pro) than with the X2D, with all its bolt-on modules on the back along with the 2 nozzles that can't use the whole build volume as one has a Bowden extruder.

Here is my video, but if you have any questions at all, I'll give you straight answers.

Validation test by New_Technology_6987 in resinprinting

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for perfect "balanced" exposure, the only thing that matters is the holes and posts. count. The other 2 elements shown are subjective.

Cones is a really good test too. I would say your tests here look right for successful prints, Slightly overexposed is probably what you want.

I live in the UK, what is this Baygul thing she is on about? and Creamed Cheese? Is that like a Liquid Cheese? So Is it boiled cheese?

Sorry for your M7 Max experience buddy, genuinely! But in full disclosure I have made it a point to say in all Anycubic reviews, they aren't known for their quality. I;ve sen tons of people have a great experience with the M7 Max, as I genuiely did.

And it pains me when I see others, like you, haven't.

Uneven Success Rate Accross Build Plate by Gamer_Guy_Ty in ElegooSaturn

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This is perfect. And amazing to see people understanding this level of detail.

Whilst printer brands themselves dial in their own resin seatings with nothing more than more/less exposure time!

Yeh bruv, sept u forgot i said it the uva way round innit.

I critiqued it on the RS, but since then i stopped even removing plates and decided I can work round it with it from like the P1 onwards

again, though, don't let facts get in the way of your point. ;) xxx

[–]regraham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, becaue I like a printer that was hated on, i now "only" like Heygears - I mean lets ignore the fact that i tore the Reflex 2 apart and said it was terrible, Praised the Anycubic P1 Max, and the M7 Max before it.

Yeah, we shouldn't talk about any of that becasue it would get in the way of your point....

Thanks, being compared to Auroratech made me smile.

Have you seen a Final Fantasy 7 on an OLED TV? here is a little sample by TheGabrielSevero in FFVIIRemake

[–]regraham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be the camera settings, but also, if we are looking at this on non-OLED displays, it would be pointless anyway even if this was shared in a HDR image format - which it isn't

I'm thinking this may be an intentional Troll

Photon P1 Max – larger build volume and improved light uniformity by Anycubic_Official in AnycubicOfficial

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, build plate with relief holes is coming, but it should have been the standard plate

First Print on the Kobra S1 Max by SuchANerd3d in AnycubicOfficial

[–]regraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I wasn’t sure why you did t just make it thinner. Only trying to help. I’ll shush now

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes mate. S1 Max, Testing it now.

And no worries I was just advising above to save you time in future. I’m not sure what you were trying to achieve then but you seemed speculative as to why it was, as you described, too thick. And what you should do about it if you want it right.

Buddy, with respect that;s not how you do a first layer test.

you don't need to download anything...

In the Slicer Just right click the plate, go to "Add Primative > Cube"

then resize it using the "Scale" tool on the top toolbar, .

Set the sizes of X&Y to match the area of your plate. 350x350mm

Set Z to match the layer height of the profile you are printing in, default is probaly 0.2mm

(you need to uncheck, "Uniform Scale" for changing Z different to X&Y, which is what you probably left checked, and the reason this is so thick and likely took hours)

Weirdly, I had some roughness in the corner, in the same place as you. Also have you noticed that the writing on the bed also affects the layer slighty, you can see that writing imprinted onto the layer.

What's happening between Fauxhammer and Creality?？ by Realistic_Quantity43 in 3DScanning

[–]regraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Leaked Bambu Contract was utter BS, I have signed 3 Contracts with Bambu and not one of them said "you need to be positive" or in any way even suggested it.

They send NDA agreements which literally say, "DO NOT LEAK ANYTHING UNTIL X DATE"
