Stuff your 3D printer has made today...

Cheers, the P1S is a good printer. I am glad I splashed out on it

I am getting more and more reports from bambu owners raving about how good they are. If I had started selling all mine I might have already got one BUT..... there are a few saying you don't needs the most expensive one if you already have an enclosure. Plus they have more and more models with AMS even the mini has one now I think I have seen.
So they have lost a sale for now . Until I can get my head round everything and find out the exact dimensions of the printers. I don't like choice....it means I can easily make the wrong choice.

I bought Creality first, 2 of them. Both failed. I just wanted something that would work out of the box.
It will be the same with the laser. I bought cheap and now I am about to drop £1900 on an xTool.
I just don't have the time to mess around, I want it to work and not be a project

Speaking as one of (if not the absolute) cheapest cheapie on this forum...

I bought one as soon as they were available. Never looked back. Best purchase decision I ever made.

Don't skimp, bite the bullet, go for the flagship model Carbon X1 with the AMS.

Can you measure the footprint it needs . And the height with AMS. Please

Gladly, I couldn't find dimensions when I was looking to buy.

It's a small unit, smaller footprint than my Ender3 at 400x400mm but realistically you will want at least 500mm depth to account for the electrical socket and a container to go under the poop chute (it dispenses waste plastics out the rear).

Height with the AMS unit on top of the glass lid is just shy of 700mm (about 670), main unit is taller than its square base at around 440.

PS I have it next to my new (to me) Voron 2.4.

It was always my intention to get a Voron, print required parts on the Bambu and then sell the X1. That's looking unlikely now that the X1 has proved itself well worth hanging onto. The Voron has a bigger bed at 300mm which just and just gave me enough of an excuse to buy it! Plus @m_c was extremely kind to accept a naughty offer.

Oooh is that a vinyl cutter?

It sure is..

Made a jig to hold Bamboo pens for personalisation at craft fairs. It keeps them at 45° so I only have to change the text parameter.

Bit confused about what parts the Voron required?

The Voron is an idea, not a product. It is a list of parts. You buy all the parts you need to complete the build except those parts which can be 3D printed. You can buy those from “authorised” Voron enthusiasts or of course print them yourself if you have a second printer.

Not yet, but I can produce one. I will be updating my YouTube channel now I no longer machine stuff.

You don't?? Whys that

Since I became disabled my hands no longer have the fine motor control they once had.
It is why I have sold most of my equipment and moved to 3D printing and lasers.

19 and a half hours in.
Not too bad but need to change some settings for the next one. Few areas that didn't bridge well.
10 odd hours to go.

It is yes. up to (or just over ??) 600mm. Fell into disuse due to clunky, ancient Windows software requirements.

I really ought to fire it up again but messing with Windows XP on a network these days is horrible. I might have to build a standalone laptop based solution. It was great fun when I played with it last. Super high resolution cuts!
