Surprising nobody, the wifi on the Saturn 3 Ultra doesn't work for poo poo. Half the time Voxeldance doesn't even see it, half the time it swears it sent the file and the file just isn't on the machine. Oh well, I like lychee slicer better anyway, but I don't love walking to and from the garage with a usb all the time.

Half the time Voxeldance doesn't even see it, half the time it swears it sent the file and the file just isn't on the machine. I had a similar but even more low-tech issue with the touchscreen upgrade I made to my Ender 3s. The BTT TFT35-E3 seems to have occasional issues printing from the USB and SD card slots on the touchscreen itself. There's some speculation that it might be noise sensitive, but no real answers. Basically it will occasionally just stop the print head briefly (or completely stall) when printing from those two sources. Works totally fine if you're still printing from the microSD slot on the main board though, so I've gone back to doing that. The touchscreen is still a super quality of life upgrade vs the original screen, but it's a shame that I can't just use a thumb drive and have to go back to the microSD card. Also when printing from the touchcreen you get a time remaining estimate, but you don't get that when printing from the main board.

Of course bambu cut the price of the mini by $50 the day after I order. Contacted customer service and they gave me a $50 voucher so that's good though, I wanted to get the small nozzle anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY-Gl-p0HnY I certainly don't need an 800x800x1000! build volume printer, nor do I even have anywhere to put it, but holy cow that thing is pretty awesome. Rumored price once it hits non kickstarted in the 2-2500 range is not as bad as I thought it'd be either.

I think that's the one that can add and sync up 3 additional printheads to print 4 'identical' models at the same time, isn't it? So atleast it has some additional flexibility for when you don't need the entire space. So it can be 80x80x100, or 20x80x100 times 4. (Or 40x80x100 times 2, I suppose.) Though I have no idea how long it takes to add/remove printheads to swap between the modes. e: yeah.

Re: the monster printer A family member saw my old Ender a while ago when visiting and got inspired to get one of their own. The whole thing spiraled into a rat rig that has an enclosed print volume of 700x700x2000 (or something close to it), is bolted to the basement wall for rigidity, and prints polycarbonate with the ease of PLA. Ghod, I wish I had time to do a deep dive like that.

Thanks for the info. I'll prototype in PLA and then print in either ABS or PETG. I got the AMS with the P1S. I'm actually looking forward to printing again.

ImplicitAssembler posted:Why? It's pretty much trouble free on my Bambu and I get nicer quality too. PET won't delaminate from itself during printing if a slight thermal cooling occurs. It also doesn't warp during printing as easily as ABS. Oh, also, no styrene fumes. The swords I posted earlier in the thread? PET.

Yes, that one. Print it in a color that matches your wall and you get magic floating gundam! Save a sprue or two so you can insert it as the peg. kid sinister posted:You'd be entering the realm of needing multiple rolls of the same color for one print. Hah. I can do that on a 235mm bed. Depends on how structural I need to be. "A test print" is damned near a kilo on something like that.

The nozzle is a hardened steel "high flow" aliexpress special that cost me £2. Sure it took some tuning and loving about but the print profile is barely modified from a standard PETG superslicer profile. e: This was first try too, no restarts.

Aside from the IP and regulatory issues for my occaisional professional jobs I sometimes just need to run a weird or nonstandard filament and I'm not gonna fight my printer manufacturer about it. On that note - Might be printing some of that radiation shielding tungsten stuff in the future if I can even get ahold of some - had some interesting discussions with another local company last week although if it does happen theres probably going to be some hilarious NDAs to sign and I wont be able to show you guys anything production. Will obviously attempt to make the worlds heaviest benchy tho. EDIT: I'm working on some more extruder mods related to multi filament at the moment. They're not ready for public release yet but maybe some goons with filament changers / multi-heads can actually help me with some market research outside my local bubble: How often do you print more than one filament on a print? What is the main gripe if there is one? Time to change? Waste? Complexity? Reliability? When you do print more than one, how often is it more than two?

AMS on a P1S, I've been printing little animals for coworkers to have on their desks just for fun. 2-4 colors of PLA. Waste and time are the biggest issues for me. But I'm printing 4-8 copies of each print, waste isn't as inefficient as it could be.

What the hell are you on about? CF is *physically incompatible* with the AMS because it's abrasive, not because big printer wants me to be slightly inconvienenced and have to run it on an external spool. Bambu's CF-PLA works because it has a lower ratio of fiber to plastic and doesn't scrape as hard.

The AMS isn't required for printing on Bambu printers you know that right? Single roll printing is the default and you can run any of your special niche filaments just fine through any of the Bambu printers.

I noticed the other day that Bambu has started selling an official Bambu 4-in-1 PTFE Adapter: Bambu posted:The Bambu 4-in-1 PTFE Adapter is an adapter used to connect the PTFE tube. Compared to the original PTFE tube connector, the 4-in-1 adapter can connect 4 feeder modules to the printer at the same time. (up to 7 different filaments: 1 AMS and other 3 filaments) Basically similar to the Y-splitter thing that's been discussed in here before to make having both AMS and using TPU more convenient, just fancier.

I got the tinkering itch again, and I think I'm gonna Frankenstein my ender 3 pro even further than I already have by increasing the build area to 500x500x500. I figure this I'll be slightly cheaper than buying a kobra max 2 or whatever other big rear end printer, and it'll also be fun. Considered getting an ender extender kit, but for that price I can definitely just buy all the parts separately myself twice over.

It's fine to be against proprietary printers but when you misunderstand a post and you seem to start arguing "oh-ho-ho a proprietary printer needs proprietary filament" people are going to come down on you. And instead of correcting yourself and saying your opinion was completely unrelated to the post you were responding to, you've dug a deeper hole.

Also the parts I posted are as good as anything my friends with bambu printers put out lately so I guess I don't agree? I really don't have a problem with bambu, I actually suggest bambu printers to people who ask me my opinion in some cases. I just wasn't expecting to get brigaded for not having fully researched how to run a non standard filament in a one. I had already discovered that I can't use one for enough of my client book that when I heard you couldn't run abrasives I didn't need to research why. Obviously any printer can be made to do pretty much anything with enough time and effort.
