- Comment on Sitting here waiting for my first Bambu A1 print... 2 weeks ago:
Oh crikey - I def didn’t drink the flavor-aid. I bought the printer, I’m using it stock with BS to start with and so far it seems acceptable to me. I loved orca and am very willing to make environment changes the moment this setup doesn’t meet my needs. I’m just pleasantly surprised that it’s not the all-but-guaranteed shit show the transition was made out to be.
For a philistine member of the proletariat like me - just wanting to fix shit that’s broken or bust out practical shit - it fits the bill for me. It’s not a McLaren, I bought the Hyundai.
Same page with local LAN mode and non-Bambu filaments. I want the outcome not the process.

Thanks! I understand that by introducing the AMS (which I may like to do) I take the hardware’s necessary firmware to a point of excluding Orca. On a stock standard print with a few basic edits I was pleasantly surprised by Bambu. If the use case arises I’ll downgrade the firmware and run orca but for my current purposes I think this lego-style ui will fit most of my use-cases.

Hey friend! I was genuinely surprised when there was a seemingly prevailing preference between the two stables. I had never used 3D printers before and I was blown away by how easy the ender was to use. No shade at all.
I was really gobsmacked to experience the marked increase in built in “nice to have”/“QA features that I hadn’t experienced the first time round. I had no reason to upgrade from the ender based on my experience. It was no longer available to me and I had to buy my own and as a result of said research - the A1 has really impressed me.
Horses for courses. If I hadn’t now used the A1, I’d have no reason to be discontent.
I’m sure another model will come along at some point that makes me want to jump up another level.
In all honesty, the ender was great, made sense, I was learning it and it did what I expected and wanted… the difference is I’ve learned there is more available.
No complaints about the ender at all - I just realised, through a transition that wasn’t by choice, that there was something (on initial impression) that outclasses it.
If I hadn’t lost the ender, I may never have looked at something else.

This is genuinely one of the most left-field shower thoughts I’ve come across. So often I can relate to these posts - I read it and think… “yeah, I see that”. This one truly has me going “huh… wtf”.
Well done bud, this is terrific.

- Comment on I still remember in school when you got used text books that other previous years of classes had used. Still remember a history book that had porno captions on every picture 2 months ago:
We’d get a second-hand book sale just before school starts where there school would on-sell used books bought back (or donated) from previous years. All the parents and many kids would look for the book in the best condition. If you knew what was up, you’d thumb through them all and look for the ones with highlighting and the margin notes. My parents were like “why do you want the ratty old one?” But didn’t press the issue too hard cos at least they were cheaper than the pristine ones where the spine had never been cracked.

- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 3 months ago:
Oh that is funny. I’ve had no issues with it, that said, I was content to use a website to convert my .skp files into .stl so I could print but that was less annoying than the learning curve of new software. I tried all the free/OS ones people tend to mention and maybe I’m just an old grump now, but they frustrated me more than just being able to make the thing I’m trying to make and spend no more than 1-2 minutes getting the file uploaded, converted and saved ready to go.
Keen to hear if you find a good solution given we have the same foundation tool. I’d be willing to try a recommendation from someone in the same boat.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 3 months ago:
Copied this from a similar question I responded to a while back: I have been using Sketchup 2017 (whatever the last free version was they released) for years to make 3D models for all kinds of purposes, incl 3D printing. For my brain it has proven to be the most intuitive tool to learn, it’s been a really long time so maybe I have forgotten but I feel like the barrier to entry was pretty small. There is a lot of content out there from people giving tips and tutorials. There are plug-ins still flooding around that have really good functionality. I use it with a Connexion 3D Space Navigator mouse that’s prob 10+ years old. That’s been a godsend and adds so much efficiency and flow to the tool.
I don’t know if you can still download it from Trimble but there are sources for it elsewhere.
Have fun, whatever you choose.
