3-D printing

[azurbanclucker]

So far, it seems pretty durable. It doesn’t really sound like a traditional reed, though. In my opinion, it has a much richer tone. The nice thing about this reed is that you don’t have to break it in. Breaking in a wooden reed involves a lot of work.

And I'm thinking this won't be as prone to splitting or chipping.

Hey 3D printing friends!!!

Short version: I'm about to pull the trigger on the Bambu Labs H2S combo.

Hey 3D printing friends!!!

Short version: I'm about to pull the trigger on the Bambu Labs H2S combo.

I Read the long version and I say go for it. I really like the idea of a larger print bed and while like you said probably duel extruders are not a must they will be nice if you need them. I will say that the AMS is kind of a pain unless you are using the spools that bambu sells (or a few others) but it is really a mess with cardboard spools. I tend not to use mine unless I need to because of that. I also hate how much the multi color prints waste and so often chose not to.

As far as bambu being less open than a lot of other printers I personally excuse it because they just work. To me it was a question of if my hobby was 3d printing things I wanted or getting the 3d printer to work. I decided I wanted to make things, not have the actual act of 3d printing as a hobby. If you think of it as an apple computer vs a Linux computer it makes more sense to me. One just works but is restrictive the other can maybe do more and is might be cheaper/better but you need to spend time to get it there.

I support your decision to get the H2S and will be jealous. Please let me know how awesome it is so I can convince the wife I need one

Ya, That explains why there are so many spool rewinders on the net these days!

I am concerned that might be my situation as well.

I've mostly had Creality printers, and appreciate the openness of them. Ironically, I've always been a bit anti-Apple computers because of their walled garden.

... but here I am, considering the printer version of Apple. LOL!

Will do!

I have always been very anti-apple because of that and because a good friend of mine lived near the apple/foxcon factory in China and always would talk about how bad it was. But yeah here I am supporting Bambu.

No comment. It's well established I'm an Apple hater

I havent really looked into Bambu printers. Ive done a lot of research on my printer but its a Creality and i wouldnt buy it again for how much i print.

Picked up one of these:

https://www.sunlu.com/products/fila...plicer-weldable-to-pla-abs-petg-pcl-pa-and-pc

Works "OK", but it's a bit fiddly. I do have a few hundred meters of mixed PLA on a half spool though. I can use it for prototyping and test prints, and get rid of a bunch of spools of "not really enough to do anything with" PLA I had taking up space.

Probably worth the 39 bucks I paid for it, even if it isn't as easy as they make it look in the instructions.

I'm glad you got one and shared your thoughts and experiences. I remember when they first came out and there were a ton of videos about them. I thought it was a decently cool idea, but didn't know how often I'd really be using it.

BTW, what are y'all using as filament dryers and storage these days?

For me:

• Dryer: Rarely need one, but when I do, a food dehydrator.
• Storage:
  • Vac-bags with ziploc type seal on the top and either a hand pump or electric pump to vacate the air. I also put desiccant in with the filament.
  • Air-tight plastic storage boxes with a ton of desiccant
• Desiccant: I use the blue-to-pink silica gel beads, and I put them in the microwave on low to recharge them. Gotta be careful not to get them too hot.

I also have a bunch of the cheap digital humidity meters in all my boxes. Usually hovering between 10% - 20%
