OoS here in the U.K. as well, but, if you know my stock rants, you probably assumed it would be.
Are you serious, you have so many of your models featured and/or in Maker’s Supply that I am surprised they are not throwing stuff at you.
I only have one Featured model so far, no Maker’s Supply anything with my name on it.
The only thing they are throwing me is another parcel that never made it to my house, for which BL wants another 8 days to work out it never made it to me.
I have an AMS which is MIA. It was ordered on the 2nd, due on the 11th, and eventually expected on the 14th, yet it never arrived.
It looks like a single AMS will take 4+ weeks to get to me by the time they eventually work out the missing thing is missing, that the delivery company already agrees that the missing thing is missing.
From the peanut gallery - I would avoid any of the carbon or glass fiber filaments because wear on those threads will probably liberate them to be breathed in by whoever prints and uses them if they also use fiber-filled filaments. I’d actually caution against fiber-filled filaments when you post it but I may be overly cautious.
I was actually surprised to see you can at least pre-order it in the UK store. In the US store, there’s no ETA on a restock.
But yes, exactly what I assumed
I laugh, but that pains me too. No man should have to go without the filament he needs, wants, idlily dreams of on summer days.
What is going on with shipping in the UK?!
To be fair, that is what the whole rewards system is. And I do like to follow the spirit of it, and explore their product line for interesting things to make, or build ideas around. Sometimes the biggest things people can do for you is open doors.
I had originally been thinking PETG-HF. I honestly don’t know if it’d be an issue. I dry my petg-hf at 65c. Doesn’t it start to deform at 70c? That seems a slim line to ride, but I don’t know. I don’t really have the experience in that area of things.
Pretty much anything other than PLA. Think PA6 or higher is a waste unless you want to take it on. PLA in my filament dryer set to 60 completly melted on one edge. The filament on it was fine, the spool not so much.
Use a Bento, really not that bad. Really don’t smell anything when printing. I have maybe another warning about ABS but I need to confirm. I’m replacing my x gantry though…
I was just going by another thread about CF filaments here where someone said the fibers shed in situations where there is rubbing and can even come off on your hands when handling it. With those threads it might do the same thing. But I have no direct experience to base that on and can’t say it would be an issue. But maybe one to find out for sure?
Well, on that thought too, you got me thinking about how it might wear on the AMS’s rollers. I don’t know how much of an issue that’d really be, but we are talking about abrasive particulars in the filaments that we need hardened components otherwise it wears them down too fast as it is…
I’ll have to revisit that. I was going to do a fancy back exhaust system and all that, although I’m nowhere near being in a spot to go as ham. If a Bento can get me started though, I’m up for it. I like printing in ABS a lot, it’s just the fumes and stuff.
Easy for you to make. Works wonders. I have a 24v tap I run it off of, I did drill a hole in the back panel above the power switch and added a barrel plug. The tap I have has 2 24v barrel plugs with on off switch. Bought on Etsy cause lazy.
They certainly aren’t collecting dust! Haha. Although the past week here they’ve been idle while life has kept me busy.
Check out what I have back in my possession though. Previously sequestered to a storage in another state for over a year… My home made CoreXY Printer!
Based on the Hypercube. Nearly everything modeled from scratch though to fit my style and concepts. It used a b’struder! The two screens is because one is a touch screen with less ability to modify underlying values. I was working on a custom UI for it though. The extra screen was meant to eventually come off was I got it dialed in.
The printhead was designed to be open for easy servicing! It used magnets for a strong connection, while also allowing the printhead to be removed. The main connection for most of the print head components was the ethernet cable, with a keystone jack to split it out. This was all pre-klipper days.
So let’s be honest here, the only reason he’s been nominated is because Big Filament is behind this.
Hear me out.
He creates models that take kilos of filament. This of course drives sales. They want his stuff front and center.
He creates little things to get you hooked. He’ll even smile while doing it, but he knows.
After one you’ll want more, so you’ll move up to a filament case or something, then your jonesing for even more.
Next thing you know you’re half naked strung out on Nyquil while singing NIckleback and printing a damn cat walker, slamming Dr Pepper on a three legged table.
I’m onto you and Big Filament. I see you…I see you.
Big Filament needs to make me some more colors to play with.
Soooo… I’ve been a bit busy, but I have made progress on another project. Despite not having wrapped up my other teased projects.
I made a lift table! And this ain’t your grandma’s print in place lift table. Part of this project was making use of Fusion’s configurations feature. I have 5 versions of this thing setup. I have two sized for the A1 Mini and A1/P1/X1 that use MR128 bearings. I also have a A1/P1/X1 sized version that uses skateboard bearings. Lastly, I have a version for the Creality K1 Max (300mm Print bed!) and Prusa XL (360mm Print bed!) that use skateboard bearings. Pictured is the A1 Mini version. I’m gonna eventually print the larger versions on my kobra 2 max.
