Hi
[multiple edits for grammatical recourse]
I understand that. I have no problem with that. My angst solely concerns being told I’m doing things wrong, followed by strong implications that it can’t possibly be the filament, along with statements and accusations that are wildly twisted out of context by a single poster who seems to have some bee under his bonnet and a penchant for mind manipulation, which I am immune to but clearly other readers are not.
I’m sorry but “Print settings” have precisely NOTHING to do with exploding bubbles of water. Any fool knows that. (That’s a common English phrase. Is never implies that anyone is a literal fool.)
Your post for example seems perfectly fine to me. Overly so, even. I very much appreciate you taking the time and being so careful to communicate concisely and to not offend, whilst making your points. Yours is the type of post I should probably aspire to. I’m trying. Truthfully. It’s not easy for me, at times.
That said, I am under no obligation to answer questions if I either don’t know the answers or indeed, simply don’t want to. I do want to, actually, if I’m treated with a modicum of respect. (Despite myself at times being an easily triggered, autistic hypocrite. No denying it.)
That ONE other.
I don’t mind you being blunt at all. I encourage it, in fact! I cannot pardon you for using the word “complain” though because that statement is entirely illogical. I might invite you to explain how in any fashion what-so-ever anything I did or did not do, say or not say would cause or not cause bubbles of water exploding into steam?
This sounds like mysterious social norm, deviation from accepted pattern, emotional clouding objective meaning, following by drawing illogical conclusion of wildly errant context. I have a low tolerance for that but have learned that it’s more normal than not and so have no choice but to try to live with it.
It happen the other way around too, you know? Someone with a Nobel Peace prize for actions toward world peace or something ends up being trusted with their entirely made up opinions about nuclear fusion or macro economics. It’s ridiculous, but I digress.
I think I understand the point you’re trying to make (or maybe not) but especially as a person with ASD (autism) I find it difficult to tolerate such bending of contexts. I do not and cannot or at least adamantly refuse to entertain emotional nonsense over simple facts. Why anyone else does is utterly beyond my comprehension.
I wasn’t looking for any favors … but I may be taking that word too literally? sigh … perhaps you mean that I somehow invited “bad vibes” from others with my communication style and/or lack of patience with their BS? Oh … I think I just did it again, yeah? 
Correct!! OMG Thank you! I thought I had been very clear.
Now that’s not fair. I was NOT complaining. Please explain how anything in my original post, taken as writ is a “complaint”. Moaning, perhaps but not complaining. (I guess ironically, this paragraph is a complaint.)
Indeed.
Ummm … I’m not sure I understand. Did I ask for any assistance or even imply I wanted or needed any? I mean, I think get it, actually, but how much typing of such things is too much or not enough? I wasn’t writing a formal essay. It was as it was.
OK but who made me the official reviewer of filaments? It was very clear to me that I was making outgoing statements, with no questions, no plea for help, etc. Those who asked questions respectfully have received respectful answers, including yourself. What did I do that was objectively wrong, exactly? I mean, sure. I got pissed off with one “fool” (I’m allowed that opinion) and told him so, which turned out to be some kind of social acceptance mistake.
So how does this work? He’s allowed to insult the ■■■■ out of me if he just so happens to write it in a nicer way over a half dozen paragraphs of nonsense? (Of the type I fear this right here is turning into. D’oh!)
That hardly seems fair from a technical perspective and certainly does nothing to help anyone here. I suppose it’s one of those “socially acceptable” or “woke mind virus” things?
IIRC, I didn’t lose my cool until the dude persisted with his rhetoric. I should probably try harder to remember to just outright ignore idiots. (Not saying I am not an idiot. I surely am but what to do?) Also, I may not be recalling correctly and I’m too tired to go back and check. My bad.
As was I! Very keen and hence so very shocked and disappointed. Not so much at the filament itself, with its particular needs — which doesn’t matter to me AT ALL by the way — but because this stuff is to REPLACE PETG Basic. That can’t be right.
Granted. I’m sorry. Had I known you or anyone else was expecting that from me, perhaps I could have taken the time and made the effort to do a more thorough analysis?
However, even if I did a full scientific analysis with the best electron microscopes, X-rays and high speed macro videography, the fact remains that several people have insisted that my experience does not match theirs — including, now, BambuLab themselves. I wouldn’t dream of even trying to build a fair review case on the basis of a single roll of filament I happened to receive. Glad I didn’t try — or am I? Not so sure now to be honest. (Again not YOU but that other fool.)
That said … BambuLab have in bold red letters, “Must be dried before use” (or words to that effect.) So, it seemed reasonable at the time to include in my summary opinion this fact alongside my objective observation of just HOW wet the stuff was and therefore CAN GET.
I’m going to push back on that with a degree of disbelief. When searching “BambuLab PETG HF” and similar on YouTube, there are currently only a handful of results. The first is a gentleman politely observing the exact same things as I did, albeit only with less moisture content and just two Benchy prints. The others are indeed evidence of great results BUT none of them even mention the need to dry their filament and NONE of them have (or could have) taken an opened roll off a shelf from their usual PETG Basic storage location two months down the track to discover anything at all. I doubt they have any reason to even think of such a thing, come to that. I do and now, so do you.
What am I to assume from all that?
I would also note that Maker’s Muse, 3D Printing Nerd, Made with Layers (Tom Salanderer) etc have not published anything at all. I’m be surprized if they haven’t received roll for review. I could be forgiven for suspecting that they too have concerns and are working in the background with BambuLab before publishing their findings. Clearly, that’s pure guessing, but it fits.
That is very wise and exactly what I would expect of any intelligent individual to do. Please do buy your own. It’s not expensive and please do report your findings.
I didn’t provide practically ANY information. It’s true. I’m sorry. I was shocked and dismayed and I guess sort of forgot BambuLab’s reputation to date. It’s hardly common place, after all. What would you have done? Probably what I should have done and what I would usually do. Absolutely nothing. Lesson learned.
