A creative license can be a bitch. It prevents companies like Microsoft and Bambu from taking open source code private and can stop funny derivative works from being created by Joe Schmuck for fun.
You can still print all the boatys you want. You just can't remix them.
I absolutely have no use Bambu's RFID tags. I need to change the settings anyway, so why bother with them at all. Thankfully I doubt there were will be any agreement to any kind of standard to allow such a thing anyway.
No, I've never been to Barthalona or Barcelona. Nor am I ever going to either. I'm far to poor to travel beyond local necessities. I have no idea why I'm here at this party. Why you are here?
Being a revolutionary means you are willing to die for your cause. Ain't none of those wannabes willing to die for anything. As long as they have their steam deck.
They just to cry to their mommies and expect the world to cater to their every want and whim. Life doesn't work like that and never has.
These nozzles are cheap. And it shouldn't be very difficult fix this one if you have a heat gun. The hard part will be to get at the latch that holds the the nozzle assembly in the extruder. That's small, fiddly, and delicate part that there is a good chance of breaking.
So while you are ordering that spare heater assembly, ($20US) you might as well get a new nozzle too, ($10US).
I'm married and New Year's Eve is our Anniversary. I do not think we have ever gone out to celebrate 3 times over 38 years. Because it ain't worth it. Better to stay home and enjoy the rib eye steaks or wild game supper that I make for us at home. Add a glass or two of wine, and it's perfect.
Plus the next morning, I don't need to remember how I got home-- IF I got home-- or how to use socks and underwear.
Bars might be fun for the young, but only the young.
Machines are a means to an end. Not the end in and of itself. It just depends on what YOUR ends turn out to be.
There is nothing wrong with having your printer be the hobby. It''s a valid part of of the printing hobby and the current state of 3D printing wouldn't be it is right now. And Bambu has done nothing new that hobbyists weren't already doing as a hobby to modify their machines. So I wouldn't worry much about what a Bambu owner thinks.
I bought a Mini with AMS last month to add along side my old Mk3s+. It's faster, (though not that much faster in the end), and the AMS works very well. And it was easy to setup and get running.
But it has had some basic design issues that need attention, (for which there are community fixes you can find). And even after careful tuning, it really isn't any better than the Mk3s for print quality. It's just easier to print in color if you choose to be wasteful with filament. Like I am doing right now.
Coming from an Ender, it will be an upgrade though. I do think the the A1 series is a good inexpensive home use printer though.
The reverence and fear of cast iron cooking pots and pans is stupid on both sides. People have been using cast iron under every condition from the big fire place in a castle's kitchen to a fire pit in a peasant's hovel to open fires outdoors to Michelin Star restaurants in Paris and London. And they cooked EVERYTHING in it because it's what they had and all they had. There is no mystery to seasoning and care of cast iron. Just like there is little to fear from cooking with it.
Those that do worship in the church of cast iron-- just cook in it. There is nothing sacrosanct about it. If your Great Grandmother didn't worry about it, why should you? Any damage you can do it can be repaired quickly and easily. So get over yourselves.
And those that fear cast iron cookery, get over it.......They are often the same ones that are fearful of micro plastics getting ingested and yet have no care or concern while cooking with plastic cutting boards and utensils in plastic coated cookware.
No, .step file is an exchange format, (think .pdf files), that can be used across different CAD programs to import geometry so you can work on them.
Unlike the common .stl format, a .step file contains a majority of the internal information that was created by original CAD model. While an .stl file is just meshes and nothing else.
PrusaSlicer can use .step files directly to slice. But I'm not sure that other forks/slicers can. I like models in .step file because it's far easier to open them in whatever 3D CAD software I'm using to make changes to a model to suit my needs. I can do .st' files, but it's a pain to work with them.
