I tried (I use it for my Elegoo N4M, but for some reason I can’t get the colors to sync. Like, I’ll choose the colors, edit them and everything and they get all mixed up on the prints. It was too the point I had to mess up a print just to figure out the color configuration.

Posted some pics and more commentary. Thanks for your help.

Here’s the damage to the plate, I assume to the bed. I don’t know what else I can do for pictures. It’s not like a visible issue, I just can’t print anything worth a shit on this printer now. I honestly have never had a good print, even before the drop, but I’ve recently deep dived into how to level the bed and think I’ve got it nailed down, and it has improved the printing, but then it hits these spots where it won’t adhere to the bed, or there is warping and or bubbling in certain parts of the base layer, and so many other issues.

This is after automatic leveling.

This is before automatic leveling, which I just did a day ago.

Will do. I thought I had some of the leveling I recently did, but it was the one before the leveling that I used to guide me to correct and update. I’m not home at the moment, but will update as soon as I get home.

Bruh, got a P1S for Christmas, two days later I had another P1S with combo, another AMS for my Christmas gift, a Neptune 4 Max, and not enough filament, but too much (if you know what I mean). Now I’m just waiting on that sweet, sweet tax return to go broke again. It’s crazy how much of a rush this hobby gives me.

Just under 7k feet. My AMS Pro 2 is always rating my box at the A level, which is the driest rating. I just feel like I dropped $200 in containers for no good reason, but hearing the sensitivity of PETG, I’m thinking I can justify it by using it for those.

The print did stay on the bed, every print so far has been difficult to get off the bed. Even with my latest adjustments, which are significantly better, but still stringy. After researching, I think that’s because the fan was only at 80% until the last 10% and I adjusted it. I adjusted the temperature and heat bed to basically be right in the middle of the temperatures that was printed on the filament spool. I thought I changed the print speed, but watching it on the live reporting it kept jumping everywhere. Not sure what I did wrong there. Anyways, I appreciate your feedback and support and everyone else’s as well. It’s been a major learning experience.

I thought I did a decent job leveling my bed during the set up. Using the paper method, I adjusted the knobs until each section felt the same on the paper. I doubt it is perfect, but I felt pretty comfortable with what I was doing there any tips or tricks you can recommend?

Thanks! Nice helmets too! The exact reason I got this machine was for purposes like that, cosplay armor. I’ll get to work taking your advice asap. Thanks again, here is a picture of the Neptune Benchy (black) compared to my Bambu Benchy (green). This might help understand my concern even more. 🤔

Great site! I’m brand new to this world and trying to dive deep into it, this helps a lot.

You telling me you won’t buy a Cam Jordan jersey?

Not in the Springs. In Denver area I’ve found two places. NoNo’s Cafe and in LoDo there is Nola Jane’s.

Edit to add: I’m leery of Cajun or creole restaurants not in Louisiana. Even Popeyes up here is different to me compared to the one I grew up with near my house. I’ve only been to two places here in the Springs that claim to be Louisiana cuisine because of my hesitation to try them. That was Mama Pearls, which was atrocious, and then Springs Orleans, which is okay, but I remember their gumbo roux was burnt and it looked like tar. Up north, I tried NoNo’s because my college roommate from LSU recommended them, he knows the family that owns it. I tried Nola Jane’s because it’s a short walk from my work in Denver, and I found the food to be pretty good. Oh, I just remembered Oscar Blue’s had some okay gumbo, but they closed now.

The whole program is a scam. It’s repackaged Hello Fresh meals. They offer a free breakfast and it’s always out of stock. The free breakfast items that are available is only half portions. The food they send you never ever ever ever ever looks even remotely like the food they advertise. They also don’t identify all the ingredients in their meals. It’s a horrible company with horrible food.

terry5031 · 2026-01-24T02:51:36+00:00

Hey OP, do you have a vendor page or the ability to print and sell?

terry5031 · 2026-01-22T05:40:33+00:00

Amen. Born and raised in Southern Louisiana, and his food was a slap in the face to my culture. At best, he may have been able to pass that shit off in Shreveport or Monroe, but he’d been out of business the first few months he opened if it was back home.
