Can you print some anti vibration feet for it to help with the shaking? Use your old printer and run them in TPU. See if that helps. Even on my little (by comparison) A5M, the feet made a big difference. I notice in the vid that @Tony4597 shared, 2 of those printers also have what looks to be...

Are you close to a Microcenter? Phx store shows them as sold out, but they do stock them.

Can confirm, H2S is not in the current stable build of Orca

I've been having pretty good success with PLA+. Seems to fail less, stick better, and print smoother (so far).

You can still do that, you're just going to have little offsets in heat/purge times going between, say, PLA and PTEG (220c and 240c nozzle temps for example). That's more or less how they all work to some extent with a single head. It's one of the main reasons I have shied away from Bambu. I...

I'm looking at a multi setup too. I was actually ready to pull the trigger on Flashforge's AD5X, (and the wifey is on board). BUT. I'm going to hold off just a bit and see how this looks when it releases https://www.snapmaker.com/en-US/snapmaker-u1 It's more than double the cost of the AD5X...

I mean, at that price, why not both? :p

Not really. The side panels are affixed with 3 little button magnets at the top so they easily come off for access. Having the enclosure on cuts down a bit on the noise, which can be distracting since it's in my office and 8 feet from my desk. It will also help keep dust out of the printer...

Ordered the enclosure kit. Only did about 80% of it for now. I have to add about 7" of height to the top of the shelf to get the head frame and top cover on it, and right now it's not all that critical. I'm not printing ABS or anything really temp sensitive right now to NEED it fully enclosed, I...

Unless you have a big spool of cat6 sitting around that "fell off the tech's truck". Then use cat6 :)

You're going deeper down this rabbit hole than I have. We are using home automation capable devices but I have not bothered to link them up yet. Ecobee thermostats will work with google home. Ring devices will too but there are some middlemen you need to make them sync because Ring's owned by...

Nice! Thanks for that link.

I switched to a different plate, it wasn't really successful so I went back to the textured PEI plate. I also added some LED strip lights just above the printer so I have better vis while printing. The 5M doesn't have any lights included. So for that experiment, lights==good. Alternate...

Ask Azure. :p

How not to change filament. On the AD5M, to change, you clip the filament at the top of the extruder, run the last bit through as you add your new filament, and carry on. Well, I clipped wrong. I spent several hours trying to chase down the problem thinking I had messed up settings or...
