    3D printing pics

    I'm amazed at the kind of quality it seems to be capable of--and that's without even dropping to a .02 nozzle. Tree supports and upping the distance between the support and the model have been incredible game changers, too. Gandalf was all white, originally. My oldest is into D&D and has...

    3D printing pics

    Well, I've been putting my new P1S through its paces a bit, and it's ended up being more silly stuff than useful pieces, but it's been entertaining. Printed a bunch of stuff for the kids, and a couple of things for me.

    the 'Stuff That's Just Really Interesting 'thread

    From a cost perspective (particularly in healthcare), I agree with you 100%. From a political perspective, I can understand why they're not willing to go in that direction: seniors vote. It sucks, but politicians primary focus is always on getting re-elected. Agreed. I think they should just...

    the 'Stuff That's Just Really Interesting 'thread

    If I'm not mistaken, New Zealand already has something similar in place. It seems like a solid way to go about implementing a politically-challenging policy. You're not denying any current voters their right to do anything; you're just taking away a future right that those generations hopefully...

    Copilot is for entertainment purposes only.

    Totally agree. I do use it at work, but it's mostly taking things from one format into another (such as notes from a meeting into a briefing note). I still have to do plenty of correction and some moving things around, but it's a substantial time saver. Would I trust the output without careful...

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Thanks again for the advice! My P1S has arrived, and I've been putting it though its paces. Holy hell, is this ever a different world of 3D printing than it was back when I started with the Ender 3. The amount of little irritants that have been automated is incredible, and the print quality out...

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Decided to bite the bullet and just ordered the P1S, along with the original AMS. I did see that the AMS2 is now compatible with the P1S, as well, but it didn't seem worth the $200 additional investment anyway. I spent the better half of those savings on filament, but such is life. Thanks...

    Awesome. Thanks!

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Oh, fair enough. I'm not sure where I got the impression that ethernet was an option. I'm definitely leaning toward the P1S with the original AMS, but I've got one more question for your thoughts: I understand that Bambu does an anniversary sale, and I'm tempted to wait to see if the P1S gets...

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Oh, wow. That's still a lot faster. Thanks for the numbers! I really didn't expect anything that speed from a bed slinger. That's a great point that I never thought of, sswilson, on all of the materials having to be the same material--which would likely never be the case for me, anyway. I'm...

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Thanks, Lowfat. I did take a look at the A1, but I figured that it would probably still print relatively slowly, as another bed-slinger--or is that no longer the case? It's been a while since I paid much attention to the fancy new stuff in the 3d printing world. I do also like that the P-series...

    Any Opinions on Bambu P1S vs P2S?

    Hi, All: I've been mulling over an upgrade to my 3D printer--an Ender 3 V2 that I've had for 5 or so years. The BLTouch now fails every third or fourth print, requiring a reset, and I feel like I'm always having to tweak and re-tweak things to get a reasonable print. I've heard good things...

    Colour Laser MFP

    FWIW (and it's pretty anecdotal and out of date, so probably not much), I've had a Brother laser printer that I bought in 2008 that's still kicking. It's only B&W, mind you, but I think I've refilled the toner twice in the entire time I owned it. And I do mean refilled, as I just bought a bottle...

    looking for some power supply recommendations

    I picked up a Corsair RM850x on Black Friday for $150. Bit bigger than you're looking for, but it's fully modular and well reviewed. Not sure how often it goes on sale, but it looks like it floats around $200 regularly.

    Whats your latest purchase?

    We had a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan that we bought when our youngest came along. There really is nothing quite like them for utility. It carried everyone and a ridiculous amount of stuff that my wife insisted on taking along whenever we travelled, and if I dropped the seats all down, I could put...

    Oh how I hate dealing with FBM

    Oh, 100% Nothing makes me stabby faster. Between people offering half of what you're asking and people just never showing up to get stuff when they say they will, it hardly feels worth it most of the time.

    How about... making your Own Game?

    I say go for it, but I would check first if you can scratch that same itch using existing game makers. I ended up putting a game together for the final class in the degree I just finished, which I spun as a government employee training tool. I enjoyed the hell out of making it, and it let me...

    Dryers

    I had the same thing happen with my Maytag dryer - control board blew, and I took it to a repair shop that reflowed. It died again shortly after, unfortunately, and I didn't think it was worth trying to get a new control board (ours was close to $400). Too bad, as I'd already done the belt and...
