  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

    Jump

  • I've been hosting Emby forever (and the requisite software to acquire content 😉).

    Recently I added Nextcloud to facilitate cutting several Google products out of my life. Combined with a few FOSS apps, it's currently doing the job of Drive (storage) and Keep (notes), and I'm planning to move my contacts and calendar this week.

  • brick layer printing strength analysis by my tech fun

    Jump

  • It could, but I don't think there would be any benefit. The key thing this does is make walls a bit closer to the theoretical perfect solid structure.

  • Not as drastic as I had hoped, but it looks like around 5% better layer adhesion provided you increase the flow rate slightly to fit in the gaps. It essentially makes a print that's more solid in the walls.

    I saw elsewhere someone doing prints with transparent filament and they were also getting optically better prints with this.

    Also, there's a pull request on Orca... Not sure when it'll come out, but they're working on building it into the slicer.

  • Updates and Third-Party Integration with Bambu Connect

    Jump

  • Their big defense seems to be, "We haven't even done anything yet."

    Sorry Bambu, but you're late to the enshittification game. Setting up a situation where you CAN do these things is a Chekhov gun: sooner or later, we know you'll put them to use.

  • Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!

    Jump

  • Just did this yesterday. You won't need the whole afternoon. It was surprisingly simple.

  • Before You Criticize People Who Bought Bambu

    Jump

  • I'm unconcerned. I knew what I was getting into with a walled garden ecosystem, and though I didn't expect them to dive straight into the enshittification deep end, I figures they would eventually do something fairly shady. The real question is how long it will take to release the first X1C-Klipper refit.

  • There is currently a bill in the NY State Assembly to require background checks for the purchase of 3D printers

    Jump

  • Politicians are such profoundly unserious people.

  • Meh, I don't think they're quite foolish enough to go full Juicero, but I won't be updating my firmware.

  • You wouldn't download a boat (Benchy-pocalypse 2025)

    Jump

  • 🤣 That would be absolutely PERFECT.

  • 🤣 "Everyone uses this thing... it must be possible to monetize that somehow!"

    I'd really like to hear their "underpants gnome" business plan for how that's going to work.

  • 3D Printing is Fun!

    Jump

  • Nope, you're missing the point entirely. There's absolutely nothing stopping me from walking into the other room, tearing apart my X1C and rebuilding it with, let's say a klipper board, except that it works quite well at the moment... No printer bought right now is likely to be any different in that respect. You're trying to act like it's an i-phone, but it just isn't.

  • Ten years... Someone apparently thinks they're funny. I'd like to see their ten year old 3d printer that is still essentially using stock or equivalent components and hasn't been essentially re-engineered from the ground up. Are you enjoying manually leveling that bed with thumbscrews and a scrap of paper? Still printing on tape, or maybe a piece of glass? This whole hobby is still moving relatively quickly and I wouldn't be surprised to wind up working with additional axes or other unpredictable innovations ten years from now. Certainly we'll have gone through multiple "ultimate" build surfaces by then.

  • Me too.

  • FreeCAD Gridfinity Drawers - More Configurable Tomfoolery

    Jump

  • It has definitely come a long way from my first attempt with it. It's really usable now and I suspect it will only get better with a larger user base.

  • 3D Printing is Fun!

    Jump

  • There are already several aftermarket suppliers making parts for them, including a drop-in e3d hot end. Look, I generally prefer open source designs, but the hassle-free workflow with an X1C has been worth it.

    Also, they sold a PILE of these things, I suspect aftermarket support will continue even if Bambu stops.

  • PETG is just as stringy as I was told

    Jump

  • I pop my PEI bed with finished print into the freezer for about 5 minutes. Pops right off, every time. No tape, no glue, I just wash the bed with soapy water between prints.

  • Consider trying PHA filament!

    Jump

  • Looks interesting. My primary focus is on engineering materials, but I'd love a truly biodegradable draft filament and I'm willing to put in a bit of time working out how to make it work with my equipment. Looking at Colorfabb's site, it appears they only sell it in 750g spools which is incredibly frustrating considering my intended use. For a draft filament, the bigger the roll, the better!
