Looks like a clever design, the only thing that strikes me as a major oversight is that they did not seal off the electronics bay from the chamber. That means sooner or later there will be a lot of residue especially from ABS etc that will get into the bay and coat the boards etc. There are...

@Nifty Here are a couple of nice videos on the Bambu by a very respected guy from the Voron team...

It looks great, if it lives up to the hype then it will be a great printer. If I read it correctly there a number of options which add to the price of course. One I would definitley opt for is the high temperature bed as without it several interesting filaments will not print well. i.e ABS...

Looks great! Might be a bit late in the year now for a lot of the bee species who usually look for a nest in Spring, but who knows, you may be lucky.

I'm thinking that changing the nozzle size from .4 to .3 in the slicer means that filament volume is less and therefore the hotend does not have to deal with the same amount of molten filament as it would if the slicer code was trying to push out enough volume for a .4 nozzle size. It seems that...

Yes they are AIO machines. I use the MB5150 as a genral printer and it has been working well here for about 3 years. There are two cart sizes, the 1500 and XL 2500. The XL black cart holds 70 ml so runs for a long time before refills. I chose that model as it has sheet feeder and can do...

Its a pity you are restricted as far as physical size goes because the Maxify are easy to refill and the cartridge size is big enough to do a lot of printng before any need for refilling. You can use 3rd party carts which some of us have tried but the most reliable is adding ARC chips to...

My guess is that it is a secret code left for spies :)

Should be easy enough to print but it may be affected by heat and UV light as PLA is not great in countries with hot temperatures.

What @Artur5 said ^^^^^ I'm thinking that maybe part of you secretly wants to kill it so you can justify buying a new pigment printer :duc

I have a magnetic sheet and a steel plate with PEI working on my CR10 for the last 2 years with no problems. It heats faster than it did with the glass plate too.

@The Hat I think you will have problems with heating and it wil take a long time to heat up through the glass and magnetic sheet. I guess the only way to know is to try it out. If the parts were not sticking to the PEI then: 1. The pei sheet is not clean or too shiny, a soft rub over with the...

Perhaps it is a emergency system for protection from radiation, stronger than tin foil hats :)

That's bizarre, obviously menas something but what?

This is a bit OT but I hope OK to post (not an entry for POW so admin delete if not allowed). The Peregrines are back at Salisbury cathedral and since Mon have laid two eggs. Live webcam here... https://www.salisburycathedral.org.uk/discover/peregrine-falcons/peregrine-live-webcam/falcon1/

Your approach is entirely practical and makes sense. To be honest I do not clean with soap after every print, unless the last one was a very large area in which case I will clean it before doing any others.

3DLac is great but I never use it on PEI as PLA and ABS stick great on the plain PEI sheet. As long as it's a genuine PEI sheet and not some knock off material (lots around) then cleaning it with dish soap, rinsing and drying leave it perfect for printing. Occassionally a clean with the green...

All good advice from @The Hat As far as levelling goes and perfecting a first layer I found this video good. Substitute aluminium (or aluminum) :D foil for the tape in the video and you can get a pretty good level build plate even with the taco'd Creality bed :)

There is a spray called 3DLAC, not sure if it is sold on the other side of the pond but it is fantastic for glass beds. Just a tiny spritz on the glass and the part sticks solid but once finished and the bed cools a little bit the part can be lifted off. You can also try hairspray, some swear by...

@MooreDesignLabs "This is actually how I found this forum. I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice on how to proceed diagnosing this printer? My friend has the same exact printer. I was thinking of installing the printhead from her printer to see if the refurbished one I bought is the...
