The Bambu Lab printers resemble Bowden tube printers because they use lots of PTFE tubing to make the AMS work smoothly. But they’re all direct drive, with the complication of the AMS feeding system making it a sort of hybrid.
It’s a genius design (albeit wasteful due to the purging process), I just wish they’d open it up and let other companies use the concept.
You just need to feed it directly to the extruder and not through AMS.
Though Bambu Lab’s “TPU for AMS” works great (as long as it’s dry).
Fear ABS and ASA like your worst nightmare
ABS and ASA are awesome, but if you don’t have an enclosure the warping and odor can make them a pain to work with (the odor is powerful, irritating, and potentially dangerous).
But the end result is strong and can be smoothed with acetone fumes. I consider ABS and ASA my “okay, this one is serious” filaments. Parts that need to be able to withstand stronger forces and higher heat, or stuff that I want to look really good with some very easy post-processing.
Designed and printed a magnetic prime line brush, to have a use for the lines my P1S begins each print with, that can attach to the frame and live inside the print enclosure. This one uses the extra scraper magnet that came with the printer, but I designed a version of it to use 6x2mm magnets as well, and versions of each with and without the Bambu logo (I know they’re not exactly the community’s favorite these days, and I understand why).
The ideal Surge alarm clock would be an IV that at the right time injects caffeine and sugar directly into your veins.
How dare you put Kuni’s lines in Elon’s mouth!
Yeah, infighting in the resistance is a waste of time.
If you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.
I was not prepared for boob wings this early in the day.
In the Overton Window that is US politics, it is. But that’s because the damn window has been dragged so far to the right that facts themselves are “Liberal Marxism” now (oxymoronic as that label is).
Edit: And MBFC perpetuates that rightward movement. I prefer Ad Fontes, although it does also label CNN as center-left.
Is that really part of Star Trek lore? Because…that’s terrifying if so.
Most well-known to me would be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran theologian who was quite vocal about his opposition to the Nazi regime and eventually participated in plans to assassinate Hitler.
This explains why Musk cut the funding for Lutheran charities.
Even on Bambu’s locked-down firmware you can just toss the gcode on the SD card and print that way if you don’t want to deal with their cloud service. Or throw it on a flash drive and plug into the USB port.
My previous printer could ONLY function via SD card, so I’m kinda used to that anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Bambu locking down their firmware and forcing everyone through their cloud service is shitty. But you can print without it still.
