3D Printing is Fun! (lemmy.world)

Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

Thanks for adding the extra detail.

I have since noticed OP has only been printing two weeks so perhaps they don’t want to go down this route just yet, but it is another fun project and they will need to print some things to hold the web cam etc so could be something to focus on.

Yeah, it's not bad! If it's got a good clean view it can tell you when things start to look a little sus before disaster strikes haha.

It's even self-hostable, and a modest dedicated graphics card can be used to run the LLM completely locally. I haven't been able to get that running on my server yet though. (Nvidia drivers. Agh)

Otherwise they're pretty "freemium", which is understandable.

I've been out of the game lately though. :)

Thanks for this.

I have been out of the game for a bit too. Saving for a Bambu Labs printer as I spend more time levelling my Ender than printing 😂

This was what most annoyed me on my Ender 3. Now with a bambu A1 its fire-and-forget. And no failed prints yet, with daily use.

That’s great to hear! I see a lot of positivity for the Bambu printers.

[–] Cobrachicken 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. These are great machines. Please know, though, that p.e. the camera does inexplicably not work in LAN only mode (i.e. when not connected to the bambu cloud service), and that the AMS lite cannot fit every filament spool in the world due to its construction. First can be remedied with a separate webcam in your LAN, second with printed adaptors, alternative spools or just some squishy material (if the spool's too big). I found that spools from dasfilament and recent ones from sunlu fit ok.
