Try https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=eVP_Zj2Iaw0, it worked for me, but the site has a warning that YouTube started issuing captchas for videos breaking a lot of services

Some of those inefficiencies are by design though, especially for any department that might pay out to the customer for the company’s mistakes. You would make a well reviewed call center that big companies don’t want to hire because they’ll actually do the job.

I’m sorry to hear that! Have you contacted customer support yet? I’ve heard and found them to be very helpful, but I can’t speak for that issue directly

whew

I still mostly lurk but I really want to see the 3d printing scene grow on Lemmy so I’m trying my hardest to participate and maybe even add content.

Bambu lab is just doing a capitalism, no one should be surprised. These guys have wide reach and bring many people who’d otherwise never 3d print into this world.

Also, they push all kinds of innovation in the industry. The h2d is arguably the best consumer printer on the market currently. My a1 mini is a workhorse with over 700 hours of prints on it. The thing is a champ that will likely never receive another firmware update and I’m okay with that. I already have a security camera pointed at the thing for better viewing, I can easily put the thing on a controlled outlet if Bambu handy stops working. I guess I’ll lose the ability to exclude failed objects in a print, but I’m still not gonna knock this machine. It prints good and made me love 3d printing.

That being said my new qidi Q1 pro is open ish source, runs on a modified klipper and often produces better prints but is definitely quirkier. It has already frustrated me more than my a1 and taken more hours of troubleshooting and calibration at a third of the print hours.

I’m into electronics and a huge nerds who halfway got this to be able to tinker, mod, and fine tune, but I could imagine my experience with the qidi would turn off many to 3d printing. But my journey started with Bambu, a printer that just worked and turned me into a full fledged 3d printing nerd who is eyeballing a third printer because now I want a kit or bom and to build one.

I hope that wasn’t too long winded or nonsensical, I’m a little on vacation

They definitely do lol. My kid uses chat gpt, and he also has critical thinking skills. I’ve taught him to look for evidence and apply logic, not trust blindly what anyone or anything tells him.

Mostly he gets frustrated that chat gpt struggles to precisely remember the imaginary dinosaurs he created with it’s help.

Oh yeah, and he knows how to write with a pencil on paper. He’d rather dictate and let speech recognition do the typing (which he is also capable of), but what kid do you know that doesn’t love a shortcut? I’d blame lazy parents, but most of them are just too tired after working 2.5 jobs to earn a living wage for them and their families you can’t really blame them.

My favorite print recently have been duplo blocks that I reverse engineered and built back up in freecad for 3d printing. Here’s an overview of the pieces Ive modeled. Some were based off https://www.printables.com/model/137952-lego-duplo-compatible-building-block-2x2 originally and I used tinkercad to modify the model to create better clutch and fitment. Eventually I went full calipers on my kiddos duplos though and created a master sheet of dimensions that Ive used now in FreeCAD to remake everything. Toying with fitment and clutch has been a lot of fun as well as modifying the pieces for 3d printing.

In a very similar vein I spent a lot of time perfecting settings and orientations on this Lego Crocodile model https://www.printables.com/model/943591-lego-compatible-6026c01dat-animal-crocodile-comple/files

My kid absolutely love that I can print him out duplo pieces on demand.

As for practical this phone stand Ive really been loving https://makerworld.com/en/models/868130-herringbone-gear-phone-stand-pork3d-by-pork3d-com

Honorable mentions are the shelf I designed to hold my things along my desk and little figurines Ive been starting to toy with. Learning how to print things no designed to be 3d printed or modifying to print cleanly is really a fun challenge Ive found.

Thanks everyone for their shares, too! I def gonna print that hammer for a lighter touch than my engineering hammer.

Huh, I had never thought to search for tits on Spotify, but now I see I was wrong for not doing so.

Fwiw I kinda wanna see what awful slop their generative ai ads will be. Literally the first time in years I’ve been mildly interested to see an ad. Not that I’ll stop blocking ads to see them, but, mildly interested.

I spent 10 minutes perusing that site too and came to a similar conclusion. It’s gotta either be parody or hate mongering. It kinda reads like a teenager who made bad edits to Wikipedia, got banned from editing and then made it their life’s work to hate Wikipedia.

That 10 reasons post was so silly, complaining about the need to check sources and verify data while providing no sources and spouting clearly skewed beliefs.

Made me laugh a probably inappropriately loud amount in the hospital waiting room.

Yo but didn’t you know the new H2P has a Really big PP? It’s absolutely huge and everyone has been talking about it.

Honestly pretty cool for multi material prints, but chill internet.

I’ve been wanting an active dry box box for a while because even though I live in a dry climate, it seems like some of the rolls of petg I’ve bought have come a little wet and I want to be able to run them through the dryer. I bought the dryer for $80 and I’m pretty happy with the cost vs effectiveness based on the reviews. We’ll see when it gets there!

I did pull the trigger on getting the Q1 Pro. If I fall in love with qidi products there’s a good chance I’ll end up making my next buy the plus4. Thank you for you input!

This is what I like to hear! I ordered some pet cf and straight nylon, the pa-cf was just too expensive to justify without a specific usecase. Does your xmax 3 come with a tungsten carbide nozzle or did you switch to one to use cf filaments?

Thank you for the link! Looks like my pick is 2nd on the list haha. Pulling the trigger today and gonna get the Q1 Pro

… and absolutely yes on the engineering materials, should be easy as pie.

That plus 4 looks very nice, but it is just a little out of my price range unfortunately and it also seems like the Qidi box will not be compatible with the Q1 Pro, but I still feel like multi filament printing with a single print head is a wasteful gimmick.
