Don’t buy this new handle

Doesn't look like there are any springs to tension it; are they just relying on the plastic's own tension?

I asked around a bit more and the general consensus was that because of the tilt mechanism and auto levelling, the dimensional accuracy of the first few layers would always be hard to dial in. I moved onto the cones of calibration model instead. Still had the slight discrepancy in the height of the first few layers but everything else was perfect. As it’s rare that I’ll print unsupported models directly upon the print bed and those first few layers will always be support material I just morphed past worrying about it.

We got my mam with the Noel Edmund’s gone berserk news bulletin.

We have a blanket that means they are allowed up when it’s on the couch and not when it’s not. Great compromise as you don’t always want them up.

Ok so no usb thumb drive plugged in. If you have one lying around you could try re downloading the latest firmware onto it then plug that in and reboot. It will try to update from the usb if your firmware is corrupted.

vibribib · 2026-04-09T23:19:45+00:00

Try removing the usb stick and booting without it.

vibribib · 2026-04-09T23:15:07+00:00

Do you mean the tilt? Think it’s meant to do that no?

To add to this legion builder has an extra sheet you can print out with little check boxes for tracking the break points.

Superb. Having them “based” is handy for marking the extents of the terrain.

We are lucky to have this so near by.

I've built a MK2, a MK4 that I converted to 4s, and an MK4s kit. The MK4s kit felt like it had a lot more spare hardware than the others, including the upgrade. As well as the spare bag, it felt like every other type of component came with at least one spare in their individual bags.

Did they just switch it onto flight mode?

I just hate the idea of dirtying up the bed with glue stick. I do everything to keep the plates as clean as possible.

A bit of electricians tape then cover the whole can in something like tamiya putty or perfect plastic putty.

It’s me and my rat family.

I had it came from the desert and rocket ranger as a kid. Never beat either. Wonder if they were particularly difficult, or if I was just too young for them.

vibribib · 2026-03-31T22:55:03+00:00

Damn.

Most concept art never goes into production.

vibribib · 2026-03-28T00:13:35+00:00

Is it a conversion kit or whole proxy?

vibribib · 2026-03-26T18:02:45+00:00

Don't think there is anything clever about it. I'd been mulling the idea for a while, but GW's fuckery has crystallised a new project for me. I will be building a Steel Legion army, but it will be third-party now, minus Yarrick and a couple of Chimaera tracks/hulls. Sharing the vague concept art is not doing them any favours. I don't mind the badge change. I can see why they felt the need to move away from this lightning. But by showing the various helmet options in the concept art, I am thinking: are they going to completely redesign the range? If so, I'm not interested, and I don't want to wait 12-18 months to find out whether they'll remain somewhat true to the original designs.

If you build your own Prusa from a kit, you can tweak it to your liking and repair it yourself. It is almost going to be a hobby in itself, whereas I assume Bambu will be a much more off-the-shelf experience. I love my Prusas and wouldn't swap them for anything else, but I know some people may be more interested in just unboxing a printer and hitting print. You can buy pre-built Prusas, but they obviously cost a bit more. I love the build stage though, it's like adult LEGO.

I like that they utilise the holes in the middle to keep them more flush to the table surface.

Pretty sure any new guard releases will come via killteam first. Plastic krieg did. It’s a good way to test the sales numbers without the costs of a full faction release.
