Also I ran some cheap PETG through a filament dryer and YOLO'd a print overnight on the K1. Came out great. Hardly any stringing, too. Pretty impressed considering this thing did not come with the upgraded extruder or hotend, so I expect either of those to poo poo out within the first month here. Edit: Also if you haven't upgraded your bedslinger to squashball feet or some other upgraded sound insulation method yet I highly recommend it. I did this model for my MK3S due to the locking design and intention of using two extra feet to help with weight distribution. https://www.printables.com/model/227986-squash-ball-feet-the-most-efficient-system-for-pru It's perfectly silent aside from the LCD resonating a bit just like it says. I'll probably just print some TPU to fix it. Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Sep 20, 2023 |

armorer posted:Yeah the paper test is just to get you in the ballpark when setting up the printer for the first time. As has already been said, you're too close to the bed there. Also the it worked 2 days ago is the bane of 3d printing.. sometimes you pulled the plate off and it moved something.. or the filament changed etc. Sometime you just gotta go to the basics and recalibrate

The Bambu Lab A1 mini was announced this morning. This thing is cute! I don't need it myself, but assuming it's reliable like the other units, this should be a good budget option for a bunch of people. (Also I assume someone will eventually figure out how to suspend the optional AMS lite above the main unit to save desk space) https://bambulab.com/a1-mini  Also this is the weirdest promotion I've ever seen - have other manufacturers done this?

There are some salty people on social media today regarding this lol It's a great budget option and coming in priced less than the prusa mini I can see this selling a lot to people who are interested in starting printing.

Why does it both poo poo out purge blobs and also build a purge tower? Does the regular AMS also do that?

It isn't a purge tower. It's a prime tower that gets the nozzle ready for the moment it starts printing the next layer.

Seeing a weird extrusion issue on the ender 3 I've been klipperizing, not exactly sure what's up. Printer works fine, seems to be extruding fine, then a few mm up the print I start getting crazy under extrusion on the walls to the point it looks like a clog. Am I just printing too fast or dealing with some other weird issue. Running a .6 nozzle on a dragonfly bms so I have to imagine things are fine as far as flow is concerned. Maybe I should actually run some sort of volumetric flow test. Is there one in particular I should be digging into?

I just want a kit that lets me use my OG AMS components to convert it to the AMS Lite. Having the reels hanging instead of sitting on rollers eliminates all of the hangups I have about the thing.

I did the thing and did not stop and watch the first layer, apparently the filament got unloaded from my MK3S at some point  Printed a small 30 minute part but all I really did was heat up my bed and hotend

Came back to an empty bed, and per Klipper it printed the part. Everything seemed fine, and it extruded on command. I couldn't find anything. Thought I was going crazy. A long while later, I found a blob, spaghetti, and the first few layers from that print. It got kicked off the table and under a shelf, stuck in a way so I'd never see it unless dusting back there. It hid its shame.

I feel like this printer is driving me insane. I level and relevel, print a bed mesh, adjust z, then level again and when I think things are ok I go to print a file and it's a trainwreck. Half a spool wasted so far. gently caress this thing until tomorrow.

Would highly recommend finding a [your printer] bed test that uses like tiny bit of filament and time. Do you have any pics to show like before your printooked like it was printing on air. Maybe your file has some issue? Grasping at stawes but have you tried using a different SD card it's possible the one you've got has gone to poo poo.

The A1 is neat and would have probably been the printer I would have bought if the P1S wasn't a thing. Really going for the jugular against Prusa seems like.

I can only imagine what Prusa is thinking now, this completely makes the Prusa Mini a bad deal... it was already starting to get a bit dated when compared to some of the new machines anyhow. Prusa also released their input shaper firmware for the Mk4 and Mini yesterday, then sent an email about it at 9pm pst after the new bambu machine had already been leaked. Makes me think they were trying to rush to complete it before the official announcement of the A1 today 9/20. My Mk4 still takes ages to upload gcode, and it's really missing a lot of features Bambu are making nearly standard. Great print quality though on the mk4, I'd say it beats my X1C for surface finish prints (when both are printing at slow speeds) but not by that much. I hope they are working on some other ideas right now or they are going to be hurting next year I think.

8-bit Miniboss posted:The A1 is neat and would have probably been the printer I would have bought if the P1S wasn't a thing. Really going for the jugular against Prusa seems like. Absolutely here too. PLA/PETG was like 90% of what I printed until I got a P1S. What a hell of a price. Edit: Man, lost a print on the P1S since for whatever reason the standard ASA profile has a max fan speed of 80% instead of slowing down. 80% at 3 seconds, which on a tall skinny object makes it incredibly weak.

The Eyes Have It posted:Prusa link (is that the right term?

Yeah Prusa Link runs on the Mk4 and maybe can run on the buddy board of the mini I guess too, didn't know that. Otherwise, you can also set it up on a rpi zero or better device. The way you can use pi cameras or USB cameras is helpful in Prusa link though I think it limits the framerate to 1 frame per 5 or 10 seconds or something crazy haha. Still get awful wifi transfer speeds along with prusa connect. Prusa Connect is their cloud side of things I guess, I believe it's just a fancier interface that's talking with prusa link and has the ability to save and transfer files from the cloud. Also allows you to link old tablets or phones that can access the prusa connect site as a webcam, yet you cannot use a USB or pi camera in prusa connect that I've found. It's all pretty poorly implemented sadly, there's some parts I think are cool but it has a lot of work to catch up.

Good to hear you don't have wired issues. I was reading about others with MK4's having slow transfer speeds even on ethernet, it must be something the mk4 is doing, like inspecting the gcode line by line or I'm not sure  I complained on their forums to hopefully help light a fire but doesn't seem like they give a poo poo too much. They're used to being one of the top dogs and now are starting to flail around a bit with these releases. They don't even have input shaping for multi toolhead XL working yet which seems like they must be running into issues or I don't know, does it even have an accelerometer in each print head? They slowly released products to maximize profit for years like a lot of companies have and now may pay the price. Doesn't seem they have the same eagerness to innovate and shake up the market like I've seen at Bambu.

Opinionated posted:They don't even have input shaping for multi toolhead XL working yet which seems like they must be running into issues or I don't know, does it even have an accelerometer in each print head? I read in an update that because the XL is so unlike the other printers -- not just the motion system but also being a toolchanger -- it's just plain more work to develop and test for. Seems understandable. Opinionated posted:They slowly released products to maximize profit for years like a lot of companies have and now may pay the price. Doesn't seem they have the same eagerness to innovate and shake up the market like I've seen at Bambu. For a long time, Prusa were the innovators. But Bambu is shaking it up for sure. Heck, the 4-color filament changer looks like a better (and cheaper) Mini than the Mini. The MK4 was just released but looks kind of ehhhh compared to the Bambu stuff. The XL is where the real innovation is, but it has taken so long to get to market (it was being developed smack dab in component shortages and shipping insanity, I don't envy that) and it's also so expensive that I don't know it's even competing for the same market as the other hobbyist stuff. poo poo's happening for sure. I will also say that just the fact that I can reliably order parts and filament and poo poo from Bambu directly, from a Canadian source, and have it in my hands like two days later with a low free shipping threshold... gently caress, it's easy mode and I've spent more on Bambu's store than I thought I would. Ordering complete hot ends in different sizes, different build plates, desiccant packs, it's very handy. Now if Bambu could just consistently color their loving filament so that different batches of PLA-CF don't have a visible difference between them...  e: I've also had way more issues with Bambu then with any of my Prusas in total... but even so, not a ton and not showstoppers. They both have their strengths but I really underestimated how much I enjoy a) wireless command and control, b) fast printing speed, and c) a super reliable multi-material solution. Those things alone are really, really powerful. And I really love being able to easily (compared to Prusa) swap nozzles. Apparently I'm willing to tolerate a certain amount of jank in return.

X1C shipping confirmation came in today, so I'm guessing it will arrive sometime next week. I wasn't planning to get it set up right away as I'm overloaded with work, but since I lost one of my printers this week, I'd like to get the X1C rolling as fast as I can so it can pick up the slack; are there any common points in setup that people stumble on and I should look out for?
