I have a couple of times and liked it. In fact, a few times it resolved a printing issue that CURA couldn't fix... but I had to use a microSD card. ... that said, until either of these happen, I'm sticking with CURA: 1) Orca, etc. support direct USB printing 2) I own a printer that supports...

Thanks for posting! I've been holding out for a larger Bambu printer... and this one coming with "all the things" may be the final thing to push me over the hump to finally spend the pennies I've been saving and upgrade from my Ender 3 V3 SE. ... but I also really don't love getting the first...

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...

I like Tom and he does good videos. This is def. a bit more sciency with lots of data. High Level: Risk-tolerance and risk-management are very interesting and often very personal topics. I try not to judge other people that have different risk-management processes and/or different...

The family cat is SUPER fluffy and full of hair, so, we bought her one of these: https://amzn.to/4dvKMfE ... and she LOVES it! ... problem is, it gets FULL of her hair and it's a pain to pull the hair from the rubbery bristles! So, I took a few measurements, went into OnShape and whipped...

Interesting. I haven't dove deep into it, but I have mixed feelings ranging from "Are these really advances that should be patented and litigated against vs. contributing to the community" vs. "Business is business, and their goal is to make money... and I can't fault them if they are doing it...
