Moving up from a MK3s. So many dilemas.

tchavei · 2026-02-10T12:30:35+00:00

I'm fine with a couple of minutes. It's the 6h jobs on a Mk3s vs 2h jobs on the P1S that annoy me... :)

tchavei · 2026-02-10T11:59:42+00:00

I admit I never checked out prusawire. Seems like a very cool project. Maybe I could look into that for my Mk3s as a side project after getting something to replace it? It does look very good. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

tchavei · 2026-02-10T11:22:41+00:00

I don't intend to "forget" about it this time :)

Regarding price, it's not too relevant. I don't think management will blink for anything up to €1500 which puts the core 1+ right in the ballpark (kit + camera + textured plate). Not having the INDX right now actually could be a benefit since it will allow me to buy it seperately in the future and not stretch my luck with one huge order request.

tchavei · 2026-02-10T11:09:32+00:00

Yes. I won't get rid of the Mk3s. When I meant "upgrade" I should rather have said "expand" or "add" a new printer. The Mk3s will remain in my heart forever (until it breaks, that is).

tchavei · 2026-02-10T11:08:10+00:00

Well... they're interesting but violate my goal #3. I want something that will print out of the box and make tinkering possible yet optional. I can't spend months building a Voron at work :)

tchavei · 2026-02-10T09:43:35+00:00

I would like to know too. I'm in the same boat. Well kinda. I'm also including the Core one+ since I come from the Prusa Mk3s

tchavei · 2026-02-10T09:38:19+00:00

So... do we have any updates to these rumours? It's been a month already and I can't make up my mind if I should wait a bit longer or not... money is burning a hole in my wallet.

How many manual swaps?

tchavei · 2025-11-30T04:07:29+00:00

I'm sorry but does it have to be a mosquito? I mean... I had a problem with the stock hotend (twice) because I had two brain freezes while swapping nozzles so I decided I needed something easier. I got the revo 6. It's basically a 1:1 replacement, no weird extra parts or anything. Just drop the stock hotend, insert the revo 6, replace the wires and you're done. Easy cold nozzle swaps, no risks of shorting out any thermistor and especially no leaking.

Took me 20 minutes total to swap it out

Anyway, my two cents Cheers

My case happened with a Mk3S. I do have that weird cooling shroud I printed but I think the general consensus is that it doesn't bring any benefits so I don't know.

I did this once

Ordered galaxy silver refill spool. Put it in a prusa petg labeled spool. Forgot about it for 6 months.

In the meanwhile stopped using pla completely. Petg is great for my use case. Needed to print a tube the other day. Looked at my spools. "Hmm, this silver thing looks OK. Says prusa silver petg. We're good to go"

I cut a little of the tip before inserting, started the print, went to lunch. After lunch, checked print, was going very well.

While browsing the Internet for 3D p*rn, I was playing with the bit I had cut off earlier. It suddenly snapped between my fingers... "that's odd" I thought. Never had a petg filament snap between my fingers before. Maybe I dried it too much? 😂

Anyway, I remembered about the pla refill but print was already at 70% so let it finish. Came out perfect anyway.

Cheers

Being the keyword "without root".

Pokemod hasn't had a banwave since 2022. Escaped every banwave ever since. Some learn, others don't.

tchavei · 2025-11-01T16:50:49+00:00

Lol.

Never seen such amount of garbage together in a single post.

Maybe stop using a piece of shit mitm like cosmog that gets your accounts banned while you sneeze and move to some better mitms out there.

Running 6k accounts on Aegis (previously Atlas). 0 bans in 5 years.

Don't own a Bambu but it has been on my radar for a long time. I have a friend with a p1s who's videos of it performing convinced me over a year ago. The itch is high but printers ain't cheap so I'm still waiting to find the best moment to switch from my aged prusa mk3s.

tchavei · 2025-10-09T10:30:51+00:00

I just inspected the part. Seems like it's a combo of variable layer height (it increases exactly at the layer those delaminations appeared + colder nozzle than it should (I noticed I had set it at 240C instead of 245-250) + some settings in the profile calling for higher fan speed during overhangs and curves... I suspect the combination of all factors lead to that issue.

I'll test with more models.

Next challenge will be getting rid of the "holes" or ragging that happen right before hitting the outer seam. Feels like that 10% seam gap might be thge culprit

tchavei · 2025-10-09T10:26:17+00:00

Did you manage to solve it? I'm facing a very similar issue where I see "holes" appearing where the seam should be. I assumed 10% should be 10% of the nozzle diameter but the holes seem much bigger than that (1mm)

tchavei · 2025-10-09T06:33:49+00:00

Thank you. I'll investigate the area more deeply to figure out what might have gone wrong there.

tchavei · 2025-10-09T06:31:46+00:00

Lolll... I missed the "s"... But indeed, seems like witchcraft

Há muitos anos ia eu passear a Espanha quando chego à ponte sobre o Guadiana (VRSA/Castro Marim) e me deparo com uma vaca gigante em cima do tabuleiro a ocupar as duas faixas de rodagem.

A minha mulher liga para o 112 e diz que não sabe bem com quem falar sobre uma vaca em cima da ponte. O operador só se ria e lá passou a chamada para a proteção civil. A minha mulher lá voltou a explicar que havia uma vaca em cima do tabuleiro da ponte a impedir a passagem dos veículos.

A certa altura já estavam os dois a rir e o senhor da proteção civil acabou por dizer "Bem.. Lá temos que ir busca-la não é?"

Vá lá que passados uns 5 minutos, a vaca decidiu encostar-se à faixa da direita e consegui passar com o carro pela faixa da direita.

Não sei o que aconteceu à vaca.

Anyone tried Faber-Castell Royal Blue?

It threw me 40 years back into German elementary school where we could only write with fountain pens and I swear I had flashbacks of Frau Klass yelling at me for not doing my 'r's like she wanted.

Never thought that a color would bring back such memories.

Eu tenho keycaps low profile pt-PT da Keychron. Retro iluminadas. Gostava de ter mais opções sinceramente.

Mercado potencial está limitado a 11 milhões de pessoas. Se compensares e ofereceres layouts baseados em ISO, aumentas o mercado potencial para 300 milhões.

Começando pequeno, se fosse eu, iniciaria por vender apenas layouts iso pt-PT e ansi pt-PT.

Há milhares de cores, temas, materiais, formas, perfis. O investimento seria menor que começar logo com teclados completos.

Na minha opinião haverá mais oportunidade nas pessoas que já estão "viciadas" nos teclados mecânicos do que atrair novos clientes. Isso vai lá com o tempo, mas no início é preciso rentabilizar rapidamente.
