How do you spend your points?

@MalcTheOracle I ordered some of that new light gray and dark gray we were talking about, in the PLA Basic line. :smiley: Let’s see what this stuff looks like.

Is it in the store now?

Checked - Update.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

It is NOT available in the U.K. store, but, it is in the other store!!!

Europeans and the Japanese are also out of luck.

Now we have:

  • Light Grey
  • Grey
  • Dark Grey

Hopefully, they will be halfway between white and grey, and grey and black.

Can’t wait to redeem my first gift cards from the models I’ve made. Been saving up so that I can order a bunch in one go and get a nice discount on a bulk order. Just need 1 more gift card to get to a total of €197 and then I order 10 nice spools and refills :slight_smile:

So awesome that Bambulabs has a system like this! :partying_face:

The U.K. finally got this in stock, I should receive mine in a day or so.

What do you think of the new greys, are they everything you dreamed of?

I am waiting for a back-order AMS and more filaments.

I was buying filament and spare parts (love having extra build plates to swap in after a print so I don’t have to wait lol) and exploring new filaments has been absolutely fun af, especially trying filaments I’ve never given a second thought to; but ever since the Reddit AMA where BBL mentioned the new flagship this quarter I’ve been saving em up. The patience has paid off, even if there’s no new printer this year I’ll likely get a 2nd X1C combo or a P1S combo with 2 AMS’ for it and a 3rd for my x1C (humblebrag humblebrag) cmon announce the new flagship! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m doing the exact same thing :crossed_fingers:

I try and save my points, but I keep spending them on filament lol :smiley: At least I was able to get an A1 earlier this year with all my points. This might be a bit of different question, and maybe I should start a new thread, but what are people’s point volumes looking like these days? Mine is nowhere near where it used to be pre-nerf, but once Boosts started to stabilize, i’m able to get a gift card about once a week or so.

I started a week before the rewards change, so I don’t have a good frame of reference. Looking at analytics, looks like over the last 3 months I’m averaging ~300pts a week and it’s trending up. I’m very grateful for the reward system, seems crazy there was a pre-nerf time. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’ve started a bit earlier than you in February. And now I can redeem a gift card every 3 days. I’m also super grateful for this :slight_smile:

I only posted my first model 7 weeks ago, so pretty fresh to this and think only since the nurf. Just hit my first 1k points and 29 boosts.

can’t decide between AMS or X1 for my spending that’s if I don’t cash them in on filament in the meantime as I got a Josh sized model in the works currently in testing with 34 cabbages planted in it. its a modular hydroponic tower for large vegetables based on commercial systems hopefully this will do as good as my easy install PTFE guide🤞

Right, cabbages, we believe you, we won’t tell the fuzz.

Hmm, 70-85%ish so. I haven’t done any prints with them yet, as I’ve been having a jolly ol’ time with the petg-hf for the past few weeks. I would have liked to see a little more warmth in the light gray, and for the dark gray to be a tad darker. I need to do some prints with them though.

I want a nice egg shell, or off white, or cream. It’s hard to find stuff like that though. They have the cream in PETG-HF, but from the images it looks too saturated for what I’d want out of a filament called “cream”. I want soft a soft white with warm undertones.

I’m needlessly complaining :stuck_out_tongue: I like 'em just fine.

:rofl: honestly officers it’s not the devils lettuce, knew I should of put a picture up when I mentioned hydroponics as people always think of the wrong sort of cabbage :joy:. Love growing my veg in it as there is no weeding or digging, lazy gardening all the way with high production. Got a NFT system in the greenhouse in the background.

Here it is, well hidden in amongst the cabbages and lettuce as to not let the design out too soon as you know what happens. Also it’s not leaking we have had rain on and off recently.

I’m myself would like to find a cold off white like on the A1.
