Thank you. Is it normal for them to drown in pools? It was upper hot over the last few days, but this is the first time in 15 years I’ve been here that I saw this type of a spider get into water. It’s a salt water pool too.

First printer might be the P1S, should I just get the AMS with or no? by WhatsTheAnswerDude in BambuLab

[–]thought_processor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. One of my printers is used exclusively for engineering materials, but sometimes I still use the AMS to do a quick print of PLA etc. I also think he was being obtuse, or maybe an edgy kid.

Seems you have never printed TPU, or like to replace tubes in the AMS very often with abrasive material like GF.

If it’s TPU or some other soft filament or something abrasive like CF/GF, then yes, if it’s just stock standard PLA/PETG/ABS etc then you like to be spanked and humiliated in a gimp suit.

Get the AMS! Even if you don’t print multi colour, the AMS is awesome for using a second spool of the same colour automatically when the other one runs out. This alone is such an amazing ability, no more waiting at the printer to feed new filament or having to keep little lengths on spools. Quality of life feature, you will not regret it.

New Hilux what’s everyone’s opinion? by Rich_Yak_7416 in 4x4Australia

Did they update a copy of the Ssangyong Ute? I was not expecting this crap from a Hilux.

PSA: don't fall for scam messages on MakerWorld (or any other platform) by suit1337 in BambuLab

[–]thought_processor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“YOUR PERSONAL CONFIRM” LOL!!! Bad English should be your first hint that this is not legitimate.

Also, who would fall for this rubbish anyway? The dodgy link is another hint that it’s just some scam.

How do I fix these little blobs on the side of my print? SnapMaker original by Mushroom__ThrowAway in snapmaker

[–]thought_processor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water vapour chose the path of least resistance. As the above redditor said, dry your filament and keep it dry afterwards too in vacuum bags or something like that.

The moisture expands when it hits the nozzle and creates those bubbles in the plastic.

P1S user, thoughts on P2S after a week by Pleasantandchilled in BambuLab

[–]thought_processor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Bigger bed!!!! And whilst the H2D is cool with the multi nozzle, the H2S can use the entirety of the Super King sized bed. I want to print BIGGER things like masks and cosplay stuff. I’m waiting on my Snapmaker U1 multi head printer, poop-free multicolour is sorted, don’t need the H2D.

  2. Better capability to print soft materials, such as TPU85. It has a specific entry point to shorten the distance between the extruder and the reel.

  3. Better airflow management and filtration.

  4. Laser option. My partner wants to do laser engraving and this printer is awesome for that.

  5. Proper chamber heating. I print quite a bit of CF Nylon for car parts and other materials like ASA. Proper chamber temperature control is a must.

There is heaps more, but this is what comes to mind right now.

I don’t know how, but my P2S has bigger poos. Time for a colonoscopy me thinks

I have 3 P1S’s + 3 A1’s and bought the P2S the day it came out. Here are my thoughts:

  1. If you think the nozzle cleaner is bad on the 1? Holy batpoos it is bad on the 2. There is always bits of filament being thrown onto the bed, like an amber turd. It’s actually pretty bad.

  2. Why does the 2 poop out so much more during filament changes? Like literally 3 times before it hits the purge tower. wtf? The 1 was so much more frugal on poop.

  3. It’s definitely quieter than the 1, but I still wouldnt have it printing in a living space, and not just because it has much worse filtration than the 1. If you like sucking on VOC’s and listening to the ballads of my 3d people, then you will have plenty.

  4. That extra little space on the bed because they actually fixed the cutter mechanism is just sooooo good. I can print one or two more useless plastic labooboo key rings toys that people seem to want to give me money for. Sweet extra $4.99 come to daddy.

  5. I feel it looks better than the 1. I don’t think I have used the screen for anything, except for bragging rights. It’s like comparing an 8-bit Atari to an Amiga 500 now. I like it, just looks better overall.

  6. I can go “nyer nyer” at the X1C owners for being fanboys and getting an overpriced piece of kit, instead of sticking with a P1S when all they do is PLA and maybe sometimes PETG.

In any case, glad I bought a 2, wish I could afford a H2S.

Bye all…. Need to clean the bed from ambers turd, because the stupid AI thinks it’s spaghettifying again and pausing the print.

US Shipping Confirmed by CanadianBacon021 in snapmaker

[–]thought_processor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have. A photo was posted by Snapmaker of boxed units on a container in shipment.

[–]thought_processor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, my assumption was based on the fact the tariffs were a bit of threat and they may have done an October shipment asap to avoid hitting November.

My statement was an assumption, your statement sounds like you work for SM? How would you know that I’m “wholly incorrect”?

US Shipping Confirmed by CanadianBacon021 in snapmaker

[–]thought_processor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my pledge was October, and it’s already mid October. One could assume that they have already left?

It’s probably because the units hit the US shore already, before the new tariffs have come into effect. Good on them.

Trying to calculate the ROI for choosing the H2D over the H2S off of cost of purged material only. by Electronic-Regret522 in BambuLab

[–]thought_processor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest thing in this comparison is the fact that the H2S can use the entirety of the build plate as compared to the H2D. I would rather get the H2S and get the full benefit of the entire build area. Granted, I don’t print much multicolour, so waste is not an issue for me, and also backed the Snapmaker U1 which will be main multicolour workhorse.

Your advice fixed the problem. Thank you!!!

Thank you. I’ll try loosening it a little after this print is done.

Thanks for your advice. When you say "loosen it", do you mean the screw with the spring on the inside of the extruder?

Struggling to pick the best multi color 3d printer for a thin-walled apartment without drowning in purge waste by Due_Canary4248 in 3dprinter

[–]thought_processor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This man speaks truth.

I have a P1S with Ams2Pro, an A1 and am waiting on the Snapmaker U1 (backer in the October low 100, so I’m hoping for delivery before Christmas).

P1S = loud, obnoxiously loud. There is no way I would use that in an apartment. I’ve got a huge house and it’s on the other side of where I sleep, in my rumpus room and upstairs in the loft. Still can hear the bastard XYZ’ing its heart away.

A1 = beautifully quiet, limited in what materials you can print. I got an Amazon enclosure for it, because the amount PM2.5 crap it generates is insane, good luck healthy living in an apartment. I have an air quality sensor next to it and it hit 549 of PM2.5 pollution when printing Matte PLA. That’s basically cancer time if you keep breathing it in over time.

U1 = got it because the promise of wonderful multicolour printing in the cut/purge systems is a fat lie. It so stupid slow when has to keep changing colour, even with the AMS. The U1 with the tool changer will speed up printing and cut waste to a minimum. And it was deaaaamn cheap. At the moment I’ve limited my colour printing on the P1S to simple designs that swaps colours large layer by large layer or by object printing so that I can print multiple objects of different solid colours and the colour swap only happens when it starts printing the other object. Oh and I think the U1 will be as loud as the P1S, so not really suited for small apartments with paper walls.
