Yup... no "must have" items yet. ... I wouldn't "mind" an enclosed faster printer that prints higher-temps. That said, I just looked up the specs for my Ender 3 V3 SE and forgot that it *should* be able to print PETG and ABS without modification?

Yup, while there are a LOT of Bambu clones/copies, it seems that very few (any?) are as solid and reliable? There's been a lot of buzz about the Elegoo Centauri Carbon... especially the price. I'm a big fan of https://auroratechchannel.com/ and her detailed reviews that seem very unbiased...

yes... but how do you really feel about CURA??? LOL! ;) For me, it's not that bad because: 1) It's what I learned on and easy for me to use, so when I go to other slicers, they seem almost overly complicated / learning-curve 2) I've had pretty good success / happy with the results 3) It...

I wish it was only that. Unfortunately it's what's built into the core of the software and if it supports USB port printing vs. LAN / network printing, etc. For the most part I do just fine with CURA. There have been a few times where I've had models that no matter what I do, they have weird...

I think about switching from Cura to Orca slicer a lot. In fact, Angus is a big fan (and I really respect him). ... BUT, Cura is able to print direct to my Ender 3 V3 SE via USB, and since the vast majority of my prints are quick/tiny, it's just way too easy to send them via USB than any other...

Wow, awesome! Excellent work @The Hat !!!

Yup, attached... and here's a link to the Onshape where I created it (so you can edit if you want): https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8f7049bf3b8cb524d70830aa/w/987f4ad6fe236320eba3a107/e/03dd903e6da12036ebf7e7a0?renderMode=0&uiState=679a86fda4c37d7637fe1bea

Great that you already have a file! It would be too big for my print-bed, but I'm sure there would be some way to split it up and join it together... or just print on a bigger printer.

Interesting! Curious if you already have some files / designs created, or just an idea in mind? Printing something that already exists is one thing... but designing something is a whole-other animal. LOL!

It seems all the companies are just trying to keep up with Bambu... maybe incrementally improving, but I haven't seen anybody make the huge improvements that Bambu has made. ... and I hope / expect they will keep innovating in a way that keeps pushing all the companies to compete on price...

I watched a few videos, looked interesting, so I signed up for free and gave it a try. Pretty amazing, especially for it being new! It's far from perfect, but like all other AI that's moving quick, give this a year or so and I think it will be very useful! https://backflip.ai/

I go back and forth between getting a big core xy machine or not. I just worry about: Ability to fix things if they break. Seems much easier on an open-source bed-slinger Sound: They seem like they are all loud, but maybe that's just at the super fast speeds, so turning speed down will reduce...

I'm tempted!!!

I've seen a LOT of people try something like this, but this is by FAR the best implementation of a full-size 3D benchy that actually FLOATS!!!

Dropping-into this thread to say that I'm still quite pleased with this little printer. Unlike all my other printers, I haven't made a single adjustment to it. Everything just works fine for me... even the bed I'm happy with. I will say that I'm REALLY liking the direct-drive! I never realized...
