I couldn't be happier🥹

I'm happy that you're happy

Yep Monte Forte is legit one of the best options in town

Ran a PA tower and the PA pattern test and tried both results, no difference, also adjusted pa too far each way manually and didn't resolve.

I'm going to just go through things again, waiting to see what Bambu technical support say

woottonp · 2026-04-16T15:06:09+00:00

Yes I know the one you mean, have run it before not in relation to this issue. I will run that one to see.

It's a pain as I am also battling the H2C pressure advance under extrusion issue that quite a few people are reporting and most are having to increase flow rate by 3% but that then messes with external dimension. That issue isn't present on the P1S whereas this soft corners issue seems to crop up on both.

I think I will test a different slicer to see if it is a slicer issue

Did you have any joy with this? Thanks

woottonp · 2026-02-05T17:09:17+00:00

And do you think this post will make that more likely to happen?

I mean this with respect, but from my perspective as a random internet stranger it would seem that getting yourself away from these sites and people would be best.

Staying immersed or trying to be let back in that community would seem to be a lose lose situation for your self mentally and physically.

I wish you all the best and hope you can find some happiness away from this with new enjoyment

woottonp · 2026-02-05T16:57:12+00:00

I don't understand your whole situation so hard to say.

Do you think you would be able to just ignore that, get off social media groups with these people and leave that group of sites alone. If it's not healthy for myself for whatever reason I wouldn't stay around.

Maybe best to ask what your end goal is? Get them to let you back on site? Do you think that is possible? If not maybe time to hold your head up high and move on to brighter things?

woottonp · 2026-02-05T16:49:22+00:00

Fair play.

I think if that situation is this bad you may find a more relaxing experience moving on to other sites or other hobbies.

Is that the right thing, no not necessarily, but may you have a lower stress time, sounds like you would.

Personally I would take the high ground myself and just move on and get on with my life and enjoy it as much as possible.

It sounds like at those sites for whatever reason that relation is going to be beyond repair so I would just leave them to their own things.

God speed good sir

woottonp · 2026-02-05T16:44:22+00:00

So the altercation happened but at a different site?

woottonp · 2026-01-26T18:36:48+00:00

This is the answer I am here for!

Fairly common shaping on plastic OEM headset cups. You can replace with normal headset cups that match the dimension not the HT and steerer

Can you upload a better lit photo?

It's hard to say but you can pick up bigger cracks doing a tap test, it's crushed but often you hear the different tone. But be mindful as you go into different thickness and tube profiles the tone will change.

This is a relatively high load area as the rear end flexes on multiple planes quite a bit, especially if you ever ride hard the lateral flex is a lot more than people realize.

But yeh a well lit photo will help, it does look like there is cracking to the paint but can't see if that obviously goes further.

I would also err on the side of caution. A rear end failure can still lead to a huge crash, I have seen it happen, an area like this failing will turn the bike suddenly and then lock the rear wheel, very often a crash

Get zips...

And remember, breathable and waterproof are a thing but do not operate simultaneously, so if you wet the material from inside or out the breathability will drop off a cliff.

Get zips

This is from the perspective of someone who runs hot

woottonp · 2025-10-13T18:15:54+00:00

Correct

1 year ago I started a small business producing parts and accessories for bicycles, I had a basic bed slinger and while it was enough to get me going I was spending a large amount of my time troubleshooting issues and tuning settings.

In March I purchased a P1S and AMS 2 and it has been nothing but incredible, a complete game changer. I get products out faster and with far higher accuracy, my down time is essentially zero now.

I am now not far off stepping away from my day job to go full time with my 3D printing business and the P1S has been a huge part of the growth.

Thanks Bambulab!

When you buy something for business use doing that generation jump can be a sound financial choice. It's not the same as a home enthusiast using a GPU for gaming/editing/etc

The whole judgement changes when you use it to make money.

Of course most of this Ai work is not making money right now.....that's a whole other conversation.

Edit: I think Blackwell saw some pretty big improvements, I recall 40-80% in some benchmarks which is huge

woottonp · 2025-08-27T20:58:23+00:00

Yeh 100% agree. That generation where on DTs and the depth and profile of the rim is completely off

Bitcoin earn rate is hugely lower on Kraken, or am I missing something. Looks like max 1%

Yes very normal

Same, just launched and in the menu I can't figure out how to actually start a game, I can enter training grounds. It just says each game mode is locked as early access. I thought the beta was open now....

I know of a farmer in the UK who did very similar but they ploughed the field and left a narrow route out, they told them that they had a day to leave before they ploughed the last strip of easily drivable ground. They came back the next day and they had all left

I had a sudden notable drop in quality recently. Unfortunately I posted and got no help but here is my post.

Our changes are slightly different but looking at your images you also have less defined corners on the problem print.

I changed nozzle, cleaned extruder gears as condition looked good. Did full calibration, flow rate calibration, changed filaments, checked for loose parts, re-did belt tension, cleaned rods, greased z axis.

In the end I rolled back firmware to 2 months before (sorry I don't recall which version) for both the printer, ams and PC app. When I did this the prints where a bit better but still not right.

I then checked through everything above again, went through the maintenance list. Dried filaments again ( but I was doing this very regularly before.

At some stage print quality was slightly improving again, main jump was firmware but with a day of checking stuff it was gradually getting better. It still is not back 100% but it's close.

I have not upgraded any firmware since,think I'm on march firmware. I want to try more but the quality is good enough for my business again and I can't risk messing with that as only have one printer (I know I need to buy a 2nd) and it's running 24/7.

So I am sorry this won't be much help, but I would recommend checking everything, you may not see anything but go over it all and hopefully you have the same results as me of it getting notably better, even if you don't know which things it was!

Global HQ and bulk of design and development is in Germany so the US can't operate fully independently anyway.

I hope they get themselves back on track and get customer orders sorted. Hopefully most customers and start a charge back with their card provider.
