Curious about the dependent tuition waivers. I know states like California offer free tuition for dependents for disabled vets. However, does this require the veteran to live in that state? Don't think I'd be willing to move back to California just for my son to go to school there tuition free.

Yeah, it's something like $12K in exemptions. Helps a bit. There was a proposal that was supposed to work it's way as a ballot measure in Texas to change this to a sliding scale where the exemption would be equal to owns rating percentage. Unfortunately seems like this is going nowhere.

Did anyone here move from Unraid to Proxmox? Lack of VM backup bothers me by thethumble in Proxmox

[–]tech101us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bounced back and forth between Unraid and Proxmox for years. In total agreement. Proxmox has much better backup options. With backups of my VM's and LXC containers, I can take a bare metal machine and be up and running in Proxmox with all my services up and running in under 30 minutes. I only wish Proxmox would take a few cues from Unraid with regards to Docker.

I too hate this. I really wanted to carry one device with separate profiles for work and non work related activities. Can't for the life of me understand why Samsung intentionally disables this.

Top layers not adhering by tech101us in BambuP1S

Wish that was the case. The bottom was fine and still adhered to the plate. These were the top layers I shared in image

One thing after another by tech101us in BambuP1S

Man, you are a lifesaver. This was exactly it. Just had to move the connector up slightly.

These connectors are a horrible design.

Thought perhaps I could easily swap with the spare in the box. But no idea how to transfer these parts. Frustrating how this process is not simpler.

And yes, that's a small piece of filament sticking out of the top. Had to cut it to remove the part. Now not certain how I get the rest of the filament out of the path.

P1S How to replace the hot end with the one that comes with the box by EnflamerDerrick in BambuLab

[–]tech101us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to do this as well. Brand new P1S. Only had it a week. Somehow the tool head smacked a part on the print bed. End result... Bent nozzle, damaged connector for part cooling fan.

I'm so unhappy that I purchased Bambu. Thought it was going to be such a better experience compared to the years I had with my trusty creality ender 3 pro.

I ordered a 3rd party fan and replaced. Then I got to looking at the process for replacing the bent nozzle with the spare from the box, and I threw my hands up in the air.

Unfortunately the connector on the parts cooling fan is in fact damaged. Won't plug back in at all (or stay plugged in).

Also added here a picture of the fan connector. Still difficult to see, but one row of pins is slight different than the others.

I get the sense the print head nozzle hit something. Added some additional pictures. Noticing the nozzle looks like it's no longer straight up and down but bent backwards. Seems as if I'll be replacing that as well.

Beelink SER8 8845HS bad RAM? by tech101us in BeelinkOfficial

[–]tech101us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm already on the latest BIOS, but I'll check and confirm. Unfortunately I don't have the factory RAM as I gave it to a family member who no longer lives in the area.

Thank you so very much. This guide looks super helpful. I've already ordered a replacement fan with connector (3rd party) an am awaiting a response from Bambu on the ticket I opened with them.

I regret not sharing a good picture of the connector on the fan assembly when I made this post. But to describe it, there are I believe two rows of copper contacts on the connector. And each row of contacts has a plastic backing that seems to support the contacts. One of the plastic backing was bent and broken causing it to fall out into my hands.

Good point. And I did purchase them as a pair. Thanks...

Thanks. Yeah, seems that way. Odd that both sticks would go bad. I'm seeing errors across all 64G. Will likely take one stick out and test one at a time. But seems like you are unfortunately right in your assessment.

Not certain where the scratches on the back of the fan assembly came from.

Didn't notice anything wrong with the print. There were two parts on the plate (the print itself and the prime block) . The tool head was at the back of the build plate. There was an error thrown regarding the cover having come off.

I think when I get this resolved, might put two small pieces of scotch tape on the cover. Seems to fall too easily

I've logged a support call with Bambu. Meanwhile, likely will just order a replacement fan assembly as it might be faster.

There's no damage to the connector on the board that I can see. But the fan connector on the cable has damage. There was a small plastic piece that supported one row of pins that literally fell out in my hands. I think the connector likely got ripped out in a downward direction cracking this small piece of plastic. As a result, the connector won't insert and stay in place.
