Petg also likes an enclosure, temperature variance of the room likes to cause warp too. Geometry could be an issue.

- Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D 6 days ago:
A1 mini was my first printer and it just worked. It made my foray into 3d printing smooth and enjoyable. I keep it offline now and I’ve registered complaints with Bambu about them walling off their garden. I will unlikely be buying another Bambu machine, but I like the one I’ve got.
- Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D 6 days ago:
I definitely wouldn’t say they’ve lost all trust in everyone. Bambu has brought all kinds of innovation to the space as well as spearheaded the whole making it an appliance that just works which brought 3d printing more mainstream than ever. We have a lot to thank Bambu engineers for I’d say.
Nonetheless they deserve to be constantly ridiculed for their closed ecosystem contrary to reprap ethos

That is super helpful, thank you.
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 4 weeks ago:
Could someone explain to me how these data centers use up water? Like it’s it evaporating? What happens to the water? I get the water consumption is very high but is the problem we’re removing it from places that don’t refill or does into the environment mean it’s not wastewater? Please someone help me understand.

Some of those inefficiencies are by design though, especially for any department that might pay out to the customer for the company’s mistakes. You would make a well reviewed call center that big companies don’t want to hire because they’ll actually do the job.

whew
I still mostly lurk but I really want to see the 3d printing scene grow on Lemmy so I’m trying my hardest to participate and maybe even add content.
- Comment on Bambu Lab Controversy Deepens: Firmware Update Sparks Backlash 2 months ago:
Bambu lab is just doing a capitalism, no one should be surprised. These guys have wide reach and bring many people who’d otherwise never 3d print into this world.
Also, they push all kinds of innovation in the industry. The h2d is arguably the best consumer printer on the market currently. My a1 mini is a workhorse with over 700 hours of prints on it. The thing is a champ that will likely never receive another firmware update and I’m okay with that. I already have a security camera pointed at the thing for better viewing, I can easily put the thing on a controlled outlet if Bambu handy stops working. I guess I’ll lose the ability to exclude failed objects in a print, but I’m still not gonna knock this machine. It prints good and made me love 3d printing.
That being said my new qidi Q1 pro is open ish source, runs on a modified klipper and often produces better prints but is definitely quirkier. It has already frustrated me more than my a1 and taken more hours of troubleshooting and calibration at a third of the print hours.
I’m into electronics and a huge nerds who halfway got this to be able to tinker, mod, and fine tune, but I could imagine my experience with the qidi would turn off many to 3d printing. But my journey started with Bambu, a printer that just worked and turned me into a full fledged 3d printing nerd who is eyeballing a third printer because now I want a kit or bom and to build one.
I hope that wasn’t too long winded or nonsensical, I’m a little on vacation
- Comment on What are some of your favorite prints/models? 3 months ago:
My favorite print recently have been duplo blocks that I reverse engineered and built back up in freecad for 3d printing! Here’s an overview of the pieces Ive modeled. Some were based off printables.com/…/137952-lego-duplo-compatible-bui… originally and I used tinkercad to modify the model to create better clutch and fitment. Eventually I went full calipers on my kiddos duplos though and created a master sheet of dimensions that Ive used now in FreeCAD to remake everything. Toying with fitment and clutch has been a lot of fun as well as modifying the pieces for 3d printing.
In a very similar vein I spent a lot of time perfecting settings and orientations on this Lego Crocodile model www.printables.com/model/…/files Image
My kid absolutely love that I can print him out duplo pieces on demand.
As for practical this phone stand Ive really been loving makerworld.com/…/868130-herringbone-gear-phone-st…
Honorable mentions are the shelf I designed to hold my things along my desk and little figurines Ive been starting to toy with. Learning how to print things no designed to be 3d printed or modifying to print cleanly is really a fun challenge Ive found.
Thanks everyone for their shares, too! I def gonna print that hammer for a lighter touch than my engineering hammer.

- Comment on Looking to get a new printer, Qidi 1 Pro top of list? Also Polydryer? 5 months ago:
I’ve been wanting an active dry box box for a while because even though I live in a dry climate, it seems like some of the rolls of petg I’ve bought have come a little wet and I want to be able to run them through the dryer. I bought the dryer for $80 and I’m pretty happy with the cost vs effectiveness based on the reviews. We’ll see when it gets there!
I did pull the trigger on getting the Q1 Pro. If I fall in love with qidi products there’s a good chance I’ll end up making my next buy the plus4. Thank you for you input!

This is what I like to hear! I ordered some pet cf and straight nylon, the pa-cf was just too expensive to justify without a specific usecase. Does your xmax 3 come with a tungsten carbide nozzle or did you switch to one to use cf filaments?

Thank you for the link! Looks like my pick is 2nd on the list haha. Pulling the trigger today and gonna get the Q1 Pro

- Comment on Looking to get a new printer, Qidi 1 Pro top of list? Also Polydryer? 5 months ago:
That plus 4 looks very nice, but it is just a little out of my price range unfortunately and it also seems like the Qidi box will not be compatible with the Q1 Pro, but I still feel like multi filament printing with a single print head is a wasteful gimmick.
- Comment on Looking to get a new printer, Qidi 1 Pro top of list? Also Polydryer? 5 months ago:
Yeah Im pretty happy with my A1 mini myself, but moving from a bed slinger to a core xy I think will be a nice change on some of the bigger or taller prints as well as the bigger build volume which yes, doesnt quite match the A1’s 256^3, but its really not much smaller (245x245x240).
Looking at the reviews and price it really does seem to be the sweet spot for stepping up my 3d printing game. Ive been watching reviews for a good chunk of the last couple days, trying to find as many as I can that are more recent than 11 months ago when everyone was reviewing machines they just got and instead reviewing machines theyve actually put through the paces.
