I've only very recently started to warm up to that whole idea myself, but so far nothing untoward has happened. I'd like it a lot better if it didn't blow away my AMS mapping every time I load something new up. Getting used to it though, that's really only a couple of clicks to fix and not such a big deal in the grand scheme. In other news, I watched one too many review videos last night and ordered an A1 because I have poor impulse control. Acid Reflux fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Dec 17, 2023 |

Google Butt posted:Unboxed my a1, got it printing in 20 minutes, immediately printed a benchy with 0 tweaking and then started a 4 hour print at Sport speed. Amazing. .6 nozzle is great for abrasive filaments as it doesn't clog as easily as a .4 nozzle with like glow in the dark/glitter/silk/etc type filaments. I've also found it prints easier than a .4 nozzle and the detail is all but unnoticeable on most prints. I've moved all my printers to .6 nozzles except for the new X1C I just got as I'm just waiting for the .4 to wear out then I have a .6 on hand I'll swap over.

After hemming and hawing for ages, I finally got my resin 3D printer (an Elegoo Saturn 2) set up and running. This workflow is so much different and more involved than what I'm used to, coming from an Ender 3 V2 with OctoPrint that I've been running for a few years now, but I finished my first test print last night (that wasn't the included test file), and the quality is definitely worth the effort. I've still got some learning to do with wrapping my head around how to prep files for print for resin vs FDM, but I'm pretty excited for the things I'll be able to make. I still want to upgrade my FDM printer to one of those new-fangled ones that are much bigger and faster, but now I kind of want to get another smaller resin printer just to have that for smaller prints.

I saw this dude have some good looking success with a 0.2mm nozzle on his X1C. It’s slower than resin, but you can do larger prints. https://youtu.be/_FpQatNTR5Q?si=IL7Hg8i9_97jik66 Zortrax sell a vapor smoother for $6,200 but at that rate I’d just buy a Formlabs machine and save a bunch of money.

My father has been all excited about this documentary on 3D printing, and finally got me to watch the beginning of it. It opens with this breathless techbro optimism about changing the world. Everyone kept throwing around the name Steve Jobs. It finally settles in to start in like 1998 with the creation of MakerBot. I was like, are they not even going to mention RepRap? Dad was like, what's RepRap? I walked off at that point. 1/7 stars

Really intended for low production commercial/custom jobs than hobbyists. It uses a nebulizer and condenser to reclaim solvent like the big boy post processing devices, but it costs four figures instead of five

Moment where I’m glad that u have the Bambu. My Ender had a 1d print and was about 8 hours from finishing and when I came in to check on it, the print head was frozen and the screen was displaying the normal “I’m ready to print” interface. I have no idea what happened. I didnt lose power, had plenty of filament… oh well.

Sagebrush posted:How is their vapor smoother significantly different from a big glass jar on a hot plate with a quarter inch of acetone in the bottom I remember looking into it a few years ago, don't remember all the details but I THINK it really just came down to safety/sealed operation, and repeatability/consistency. Pretty spendy but I guess not so much if you want to ensure regular consistent results without babysitting? I mean, having to junk a batch of parts due to inconsistent vapor smoothing is a huge waste so late in the production pipeline. I feel like there was some other thing as well. Maybe what solvents it can use? Dang this is going to bug me.

So my bambu ams is starting to those a lot of "error pulling filament" and "overloaded motor " messages. I did notice the section of ptfe tube inside the printer going to the toolhead had a split so I replaced it, but I moved the loops around to try and make a smoother transit, but something must be holding up the path and causing the higher current draw If I bypass the ams and run the spool from the fixed back holder, everything is just fine, even though it's going through the same ams slot . I printed the new toolhead loop thing, but has anyone solved this so far? My next step is to disassemble the ams and make sure that tubing is correct, but it's getting very frustrating having reprints needing constant attention. Any other things to look at?

Make sure You're using the ptfe tube mod for the top of your print head. https://www.printables.com/model/338073-bambu-x1-ptfe-extruder-bracket-ams-error-fix And make sure your filament rolls aren't weird.

Tiny Timbs posted:I tried this twice in PETG and could not get it to work at all. The X1C couldn't do the tolerances. I printed one set of the gears in abs, one in petg, and one in pla just for kicks. All worked great, but for the petg I've modified the default profile to be much slower, like 50%. Too fast and the molten filament doesn't fuse to the previous layer.

mattfl posted:Is this happening with plastic spools or cardboard spools? Both. Until the last few prints, any errors were from either a spool getting to the end or a tangle in the spool winding. Now I can print from spool 1 and expect a 10h print to take 24 because of all the purges and pullbacks, and waiting for me to hit 'retry' (and I'm never notified of these reported big in the app) I had some abs printing from spool 3, no problem, and now from the back holder as the spool is slightly too thick. I think it's limited to spool 1 and 2 and I'll take it all apart to check the internal tubing Manually feeding for the back spool I didn't feel any crazy resistance pushing to the toolhead, so it's likely ams based a bit in the back burner until I clean off an spot and disassemble the voron for new parts and a long overdue overhaul of the motion system

Are you using rings on the cardboard spools? That stuff will jam up the AMS just from dust.

I had the ams open to remove a jam a while ago and blew it all out, and no cardboard dust found I think this is a tube path issue, or a broken tube

The dust jams up the gears. If it's only been a handful of spools, I doubt that's your problem. Have you inspected the gears?

As a side question, are you printing rings made for your particular filament maker? Some of them are a little different and may not fit the ones you have already. I went out of my way to look for ones made for Inland filament since I shop for filament mostly at MIcro Center and I haven't had an issue with mine.

I went out of my way to look for ones made for Inland filament since I shop for filament mostly at MIcro Center and I haven't had an issue with mine. I specifically printed the ones made by polyterra because i had a couple dozen spools for them. I also printed the bambu made one, and some other 3rd party. The biggest difference is that polyterrra has some rounded rectangle section on the spool you can slot into, whereas the rest were just outer slip on. Either way i just never bothered. And to answer the other question, my other next step is to actually look at all the gears to see what is up. Right now im tuning some abs to stop lifting off the sheet and look nice, and get my voron in order, then i can circle back around to bambu
