3D Printer / CNC discussion thread

3 month check-in on my Bambu Labs P1S.

Still really happy with it. I've replaced the nozzle with a hardened steel one (I ordered a .6 as well, but am still working with the .4) and replaced the feeder gear with the upgraded model. I've also added a Bigtreetech Panda touch and Panda Lux.

I'm still standing by my initial impression that it just works out of the box, even to the point that I'm comfortable turning the printer on remotely and sending a print job to it expecting that I'll get the print I want when I go down to get the finished product. Printing is fast, and the AMS gives me a selection of different filament types and/or colours. Even the Makerworld ecosystem has impressed me with it's all inclusive design where print profiles are attached to the models and you just select your printer model + preferred filament to send it to the printer.

Happy with my choice.

Building a railing and wanted 3 9/16 on center spacing to get the look we agreeded on (code is typically max 4in opening). Not something I really wanted to measure out a few dozen times between top and bottom. So a few minutes in tinkercad quickly made up a jig for drilling the hole spacing I wanted. Two 1/8th holes spaced exactly how I wanted and a snug fitment on the strips gives me my consistent spacing without having to measure and mark this over and over.
