Yeah, OOB experience on a printer that large isn't going to be turn key at all.
Seconding NightReaver's if you're comfortable building one, either 400mm Vzbot or upscale a Voron 2.4
On the toolhead side of things in the K1 it's a heat resisstant yellow goop. Has some elasticity to it, it's not as solid as the hot glued connections, I still find it annoying because they used what felt like decent JST connectors, so there was a bit more resistance than if not glued.
Well, the install was pretty straight forward. Felt weird having it bob around until the nozzle was installed, but it's by design. PID Tuned and printing yet another voron test cube lol.
One thing that irks me, I get it, but it irks me is that they (creality) use glue on the connectors. It's a...
I just got my MicroSwiss hotend in the mail the other day, The things i've printed have been as good a quality as what my P1P spits out, I don't regret getting one on Black Friday. I'll get around to installing the hotend today or tomorrow most likely.
I finally clogged my .4 yesterday. I was trying to print too fast :ROFLMAO:
Swapped to a .6 and I found my experience easy like yours! Less than 5 mins for a nozzle swap.
I snagged a K1 while it was on sale at Microcenter.
While my experience may not be typical, after having built a Voron 0.2 I felt I had enough experience to take this printer and really appreciate the fact that it comes nearly r2r out of the box.
Used the GitHub repo linked a couple posts up...
All mariko switches (V2, OLED, Lite) can be hacked with some soldering, a RP2040 zero and a couple resistors and mosfets. It's true that unpatched v1's are immensely easier, but it's not impossible on the newer revision, just more work.
You'll definitely want some kind of release agent if you print PETG with it. PETG sticks TOO well haha. Glue stick, Hairspray, not for adhesion purposes, simply a consumable barrier to protect the coating on the plate.
YHPM. I got you buddy.
If anyone has his address pm me, I'd like to get this on the way sooner rather than later lol. I didn't save it when I purchased things from him lol
If you have the X1/X1C cloud connection is NOT required, you can place it in LAN mode. P1P not so much. There was one day where I couldn't print anything due to this, but it was during the Chinese New Year, and Bambu has been pretty active pushing status updates/patches out recently. I think...
You can so!
• Switch to Desktop Mode
• Launch Konsole
• Set up the root password for the Deck using the command: passwd
• Disable read only mode using the command: sudo btrfs property set -ts / ro false
• Initialize your pacman ring with the command: sudo pacman-key --init
• Populate the...
I just used Keysfan yesterday for a win 10 pro key, took about 5 mins and I had a key in my email.
total cost: 15.17 USD
It was one of the recommended sites from users here.
For sure, It will be interesting to see how the company handles things. It's for sure a make it or break it moment for them.
I didn't buy it for the cloud features, and I'm not so lazy that I can't play the SD Card shuffle. However, I can totally see being pissed about downtime and such, as the...
I've been wanting a printer I didn't have to tinker with, that would print good quality OOTB, have enough smart features that I wouldn't have to pull my hair out "calibrating" every time I decided to fire up the printer. I did quite a bit of research on the various mass produced printers out...
If you do things that require strong Single thread performance, yes. If not, Eh. I came from a 5600x and it was a huge perceived boost to the games I play that rely on single thread performance. Actual measured levels? No clue, didn't bother. I like the "seat of the pants" measurements.
Whelp:
I learned what NOT to do. My setup was less than optimal to attempt replacing a BGA366, but using what I learned i'm tempted to purchase a used unit to try again.
The solder used seems to be high melting point, first attempt I couldn't get the chip to budge at all.
Second attempt at...
I upgraded from a 5600x and set my curve optimizer to -30 with PBO2 Tuner. I can maintain 4.5ghz boost on all core @ 65-70c on real world loads. (The OCCT stress test ran at 52c for reference) I don't know how much is placebo but it feels a ton snappier. The cost right now to upgrade vs just...
I checked mouser, digikey, and av-net and couldn’t find any compatible chips with the right number of pins and size. I know it’s a gamble ordering from Ali, but it’s at least a cheap gamble lol
