Not familiar with that one. My first was an FLSun QQ-S Pro #delta. A lot of the stuff I did on/to the printer was various #upgrades and changes and fixes and whatnot - but there were also enough clogs and other simple problems that just meant an hour or two here, an hour or two there... it adds up.
At this point, it's only about 50% FLSun 😉
Bought another #FLSun recently. Only put the included baby spool through it so far, but zero problems.

@austinphilp Very cool! Looks as pretty as I’m sure it sounds. We have two pipe organs in our house #pipeorgans #classicalmusic

I really wish I could play online games more, but these days it seems like in order to be remotely competitive you have to have so much meta-knowledge memorized.
I've been playing AoE4 lately (pve) and I checked out the subreddit for it to see what the online community is like, and unsurprisingly - people are going on nonstop about optimal build orders and meta-strategies.
To each their own, and I'm sure that's fun for a lot of people, but I want to just play the game, not memorize a pre-determined set of moves and follow it to the letter

#savory oatmeal is a highly #underrated breakfast choice. Delicious, filling, energizing, and loaded with #protein

Finally got a chance to use my #hammockgear Circadian Pro - not overnight, just an afternoon hang.
I'm very happy with it from that limited trial - The hammock itself is almost scary lightweight, if it weren't for the high reputation of hammockgear and their products, I'd be worried about it's longevity.
Hanging it was dead simple, the included tree straps made it easy to hang without damaging the trees I used, and it was incredibly comfortable to hang in for hours
Excited to got my quilts in and take it on a proper overnighter!

I feel like the prevalence of CI/CO in the fitness community has actually led to almost as many misconceptions as it has resolved. It's frustrating how many conversations around things like weight loss plateaus, or workout routines targeting weight loss are just shouted down now by people essentially saying that nothing is worth considering except how many calories you burn/eat each day.
First off - before the CI/CO crowd comes in to do just what I describe, let me clarify that I'm not in any way refuting the truth of CI/CO, and that in the long term, weight loss/gain is a function of CI/CO. Where people often get in wrong (in my experience) is in simplifying what that means.

Finished upgrading my #bambulabs #p1p to a #p1s today!
Upgrade process was a bit more involved than I expected, but was still about to do it in about 3 hours total. I do wish I read the instructions beforehand to realize I needed to print a part BEFORE I went and lugged the printer downstairs to work on it lol
Ran my first print with PETG and the results are fantastic. I'm shocked at how much better the noise levels are with the enclosure, it's about comparable to running it in quiet mode before the upgrade.
The print quality for PETG is much better, no warping on the edges like I usually get with PETG
I've got a roll of ABS on the way to finally try that out!

Alright - I've now tried just about every #Huel Hot & Savory flavor - only one left is the green curry, here are my flash reviews of each (from best to worst)
Spicy Indian Curry (10/10): My favorite for sure, tastes heavily of garam masala, the mouthfeel is reminiscent of Palak Dal. It's flavorful, which also being understated enough that you can eat it several days in a row without getting tired of it
Chicken & Mushroom Pasta (9/10): Honestly they should have just called this one Chicken Stroganoff because that's what it is. Creamy, savory, and very filling
Yellow Coconut Curry: It's honestly really impressive how much this tastes like a dish you'd get in a thai restaurant. If I got served a bowl of this at an actual thai restaurant I don't think I'd bat an eye. If you like yellow coconut curry, you'll like this, simple as that. Only downside is that it's richness makes eating it two days in a row a bit unappealing

Any other #huel hot&savory fans out there have any suggestions for alternate containers for prepping it in?
I have the one sold by huel, but it's so uninsulated that it's a pain (literally) to carry around while the contents are "cooking", plus it'd be nice to get something a bit less cheap and plastic looking

So apparently Craig Alanson has decided to put out another 3 #ExpeditionaryForce novels, only a year or so after the 15th and "final" novel came out. By all indications it's not a "new story in the same universe" sort of deal, but a direct sequel to the (former) finale.
I'm torn tbh. I read all 15, buying the new books as soon as they came out once I had found the series (around book 9, I think). I really enjoyed them at first, but the final few books were such a let down that - similar to Game of Thrones - it retroactively killed my enjoyment of the previous books.
I'm entirely positive that the sudden extension of the series is due to the overwhelmingly negative feedback of book 15. IT's a noble notion, especially since this is by far his most popular series, and I'm sure it crushed him to see such a negative reception for what could have been his magnum opus, but frankly as a fan I think it's a bad idea.

So I had my first major printer issue over the weekend and I've got to say I'm very please with the repair-ability of the #bambulabs #p1p throughout the whole process.
I'm not 100% sure what actually happened, but I got an error notification partway through a print, and when i went to investigate I found that the hotend had somehow snapped in two, and the raw, unmelted filament was sticking out of the slot it'd normally have gone into. I've heard that the hotends that ship by default with the P1P are a bit substandard, so no huge surprise there, but a still a disappointment.
So I hopped on Bambu's website, ordered a new hotend assembly, it arrived in just a few days. I also took the opportuntity to replace the toolhead cable with the heavy duty replacement and add a cable chain.
I'd say overall the whole process took ~30m from start to finish, and that was with my learning how to do it as I went. Already a few prints in on the new hotend!

Alright - so I've had my #bambulabs #ams on my #p1p for about a week now. Thought I'd give a bit more thoughts on it.
Still having issues with tangling and jams. Less issues than I had at first, but still more than 0.
Filament Wastage and added time is also a much bigger concern than i originally thought. I recently printed a Kirby pencil holder for my wife, and out of the 300g of material it took to print, a bit over 100g of that was pure wastage. Not too crazy, but it does make you think twice before adding color to things. It also ended up jamming like 8 times throughout the process
That being said, colored prints look AMAZING, like i seriously can't overstate how much nicer prints come out when you can add actual color patterns to them.
An added benefit that I don't see talked about much is how convenient it makes monochrome printing. I always keep a black and white PLA spool loaded up, and with that i rarely need to change filaments, which is awesome!

Me and my wife have been playing #hextraction a fair bit over the last week since I got the basic set printed, and my printer has been running nonstop to churn out new pieces since then.
Here are my unasked for thoughts on the game
As an introduction - #Hextraction is a table top game that is completely free (as in both freedom and free beer) and all the parts can be made at home via #3dprinting. The goal is to build a path from the top of the board to the end zone that you can roll a marble down, with lots of zany effects (both physics and rule based) to complicate things.
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the game itself is a blast. It's a good combination of simple and complex (kind of like Hive in that respect). It's the kind of game that you could play with a bunch of kids, or have a serious and challenging match against another adult with both choices being fun. It also has a few solitaire modes which can be fun, though not as fun as the "real" game.

I can't believe how normal it's becoming for #eCommerce check out pages to ask you for a tip.
If no actual human helped me with my order, why on Earth would I leave a tip? It's literally just asking "Hey, any chance you want to pay more over the actual price for your order"
Like, I get supporting businesses, but if i want to spend $10 more at my favorite online shops, I'll just buy more product, not just toss extra money on my order

Alright - I've had my #bambulabs #p1p #3dprinter for a bit over a month now, and feel like I've racked up enough hours without that I can give a reasonably informed review of it's performance.
Keep in mind as you read, that this was my first entry to 3d printing, so there may be some aspects I assume are unique to the P1P that aren't, and some aspects that I assume are universal to all printers that in fact aren't. Let me know if you spot any such cases.
Alright - so starting off with the positive,
the P1P is an absolutely stellar starting point to the world of 3d printing. The price tag is maybe a tiny bit high compared to some of the budget options in the field, but in my research looking at various options, it's just about the best "bang for your buck" option on the market today.
Between opening the box and printing my first benchy took maybe an hour all said and done, and that included all the learning curves you'd expect in dealing with your very first printer

I recently acquired a #3dprinter and I've got to say, it's an utter revelation having one of these in the house.
Between all the sites like printables.com and thingiverse.com there's more stuff to print than I could manage in a lifetime. I've also been learning some basic #3dmodeling with OnShape so that I can create the few things I want that are too specific/niche to find on printables.com.
I can't believe I put off buying one of these for so long, I've had mine running practically 24/7 since i got it, I can't remember the last purchase I made that really made me thing "we're in the future now".
My wife loves it too, and now browses STL sites throughout the day and sends me stuff she wants printed

First ever #scrollsaw project!
Nothing too crazy, just used it to cut out some curves for a fancy pour-over coffee stand to use with my Hario v60. Made entirely with scraps leftover from previous projects
