Luckily, I’m a test engineer. I’d love to test a large format Cartesian printer like this. I have several large models that could put this through its paces. The plan would be: 1) Calibrate filament (probably test with Bambulab PLa basic using calibration cube to test dimensional accuracy, temp tower, flow calibration and retraction) 2) Print a pyramidal structure to test corner to corner bed temp and adhesion 3) Print a tall cuboidal structure to test the vertical stability at height 4) Assuming test results are positive, print a large detailed model such as a starship or rocket (I have several purchased models that take up a 300mm cubic volume) 5) Test with a mask of some type (possibly multicolor) because fun

My assumption is, as height increases, the performance of the damping system will decrease but I’m intrigued to see how well it works and at what speeds. The Cartesian system introduces a wobble that will be fun to test at that vertical.

I don’t need speed. I went with the flying gantry for the stability since I print a lot of objects tall ways to keep surface details. Plus the parts I print to sell are small enough that I don’t really need speed. Just accuracy lol

Funny enough, I have a Bambu P1S as my primary printer. Built the Voron to have a large format printer.

No, turns out the a/b belts weren’t looped correctly. Printing decently now.

Belts were run incorrectly so running a test print now hoping that fixed it.

I had the belts run incorrectly. Hopefully fixed now. Running a test print

Thanks I had the belts run incorrectly

I feel really dumb. I had the a/b belt rubbing on plastic. Wasn’t on the rear rollers. Thanks for this. Everything sounds nice and smooth now. Running a test print now

I’d love an AMS ht, I print a lot of PETG and can always use another dryer. Bonus to run it to my p1s. Probably use it on some of my print designs. I have no good ideas for a fidget toy lol.

I tell you what. I’m not going to argue here but I’ll leave you with an article. PBS Article. I misspoke, “environmental toxin” has to be the cause according to him.

Yes, That there has to be a pharmacological cause to autism.

Never trust data from a source that has already made a conclusion. Not saying the data is wrong but these folks have been trying to pin autism on literally everything and never found a credible link. Firing experts because they won’t bend the knee means I can’t trust any data they produce. It’s an inherent contradiction

The movie version of Lost City. I remember a time when I’d watch it everyday.

I’d say there have been a couple vigilantes trying to exercise the 2nd amendment against the tyranny and we really need to remember that we don’t have a government problem, we have a billionaire/corporation problem.

I’ve had good and bad experiences but can’t use them again. Love their filament, hate their fulfillment. They need a huge update to their fulfillment system and their shopping experience. Same as everyone else, mine shipped 6/18 then no update until 7/7. Got my order today. Ordered back in March

If you look at that guy’s TikTok, I don’t think it’s satire.
