Oh really? Dang I had no idea

He appears to be in a tent. I think it’s alright

Aurora tech is untrustworthy? What about my tech fun? Functional print Friday? There are definitely a handful of YouTubers I trust with a review of a 3d printing product, who have public review policies and take principled approaches. At least two of these are pillars of the community and it’s a huge boon to the company to even have a review from that reviewer, even if it isn’t glowing.

It’s less that they invented plastic recycling and more that this is one of the first examples of corporate greenwashing and shifting the burden onto the public vs the corporations who made the problem.

Did you get the new nozzle in and issues have not changed?

I’ll second the cleaning with dish soap. I’ve had lots of success with 0.2 nozzle and petg on my a1 mini on the standard textured pei and the biqu (glacier I think) smoother ice themed plate. Possible also you got a defective nozzle

Sounds like there could be something clogged in the nozzle, I would try pushing through some filament or nozzle cleaner at high temps (300c ish) to try and burn things out. General advice is never use different materials on the same nozzle, but that doesn’t stop most of us.

This likely won’t solve your z axis shift but it may help things. I have no experience with your printer or even brand though, so I cannot comment about whether the software or hardware may be to blame for some issues, but it sounds like there’s more going on that a partially clogged nozzle.

Petg also likes an enclosure, temperature variance of the room likes to cause warp too. Geometry could be an issue.

Does it make the virtual boy less horribly uncomfortable? I’ve got two sitting in a closet somewhere

A1 mini was my first printer and it just worked. It made my foray into 3d printing smooth and enjoyable. I keep it offline now and I’ve registered complaints with Bambu about them walling off their garden. I will unlikely be buying another Bambu machine, but I like the one I’ve got.

I definitely wouldn’t say they’ve lost all trust in everyone. Bambu has brought all kinds of innovation to the space as well as spearheaded the whole making it an appliance that just works which brought 3d printing more mainstream than ever. We have a lot to thank Bambu engineers for I’d say.

Nonetheless they deserve to be constantly ridiculed for their closed ecosystem contrary to reprap ethos

Nice and clean. Good look

No shit, depression is a comorbidity of ADHD, treating one often helps the other.

Can’t download either link, I’ll try the torrent when I’m at my PC

Thank you for the share! This is a really cool and unique design technique! I’m going to have to try it out!

That is super helpful, thank you.

Could someone explain to me how these data centers use up water? Like is it evaporating? What happens to the water? I get the water consumption is very high but is the problem we’re removing it from places that don’t refill or does into the environment mean it’s wastewater? Please someone help me understand.

Heck yeah! Looks like a good solution! I would have added a 45 degree cut on both ends so that the adjoining pieces fit together for a better finish, but still respect for making the solution!

My qidi regularly prints between 0.2 and 0.4mm variation across the bed level and it prints very good.

Hundred percent. It feels pretty fucking thought-crimey to vilify the people who use these services.
