Stuff your 3D printer has made today...

[iNf]

Been looking at the Bambu P1S, thinking it's probably time to upgrade from my Mingda Magician X, which is an ok printer, but needs a fair bit of faffing now and then and is obviously very slow by comparison. Prices are good in the Bambu anniversary sale currently.

I've been reading a lot about Bambu, the Cloud and these printers being 'hijacked' because of it, and as hard as I've looked, I cannot find out if you can simply shove an SD card in the thing and run a print directly from that ...anyone know?

*just realised I've probably posted this in the wrong section.

Just got a P1s, it comes with a micro SD card with example files and you can print directly from it using the control screen. One thing to note is the card is not 'hot swappable' so you need to switch the printer off before inserting/ removing. You can send prints directly to the printer from the slicer on your PC . Given how much stuff is online these days I'm not sure someone is going to be to bothered by some blokes printing stuff in their sheds. There are always going to be horror stories online.

As @iNf said, you can print from the SD card no problem. I use the cloud. If someone wants to hijack the camera or printer then good luck to them.
I print mainly practical stuff so they are welcome to the files and time lapse video.

Someone butchered the front panel of my Micromill to put in a switch instead of the spindle speed control potentiometer.

I came up with a stepped boss in Prusa Orange! to tidy it all up and a nice new knob finishes it off.

I don't usually print the more frivolous stuff but when you have a new toy and you want to earn brownie points

Not today. I actually finished printing yesterday:

There's a long thread about it:

Curious device

Not entirely sure I should post this here because it is sure to kick off a vigorous discussion but I have been contemplating a device that transmits power and may amplify the power during transmission. Yes, I understand your reaction but consider this: We all know that when you bring two like...

Omg....sadly I am too busy to acquaint myself.

String theory?

String theory?

It soon unravelled under questioning.

I have empirical evidence to suggest that this design will in fact work:

Obviously the same construction method as the real thing and it scales beautifully.

The new resin printer just works out of the box. I just did one 50mm model so not to waste resin if it failed.
Really pleased with the details even from standard resin (cheap £14 a litre) from Amazon.

Very addictive

How much resin did that take in ml and weight ?

It was 9g of resin including the supports. I didn't note the ml.

Do these stls come from.one collection/place? Or do you have to hunt around for them?

They came from various sites. Thingiverse, printables and 3dcults. I have a few free ones from my mini factory too.

Myford Super 7 - assorted change gears ( not my work, a mate did them and says they work fine).

I made some terrain for a gaming board. The black piece is resin and the other two are pla. The tall tower is 175mm for scale. The box is for a 110vac to 48vdc supply I have made for testing specific equipment at work.
I've actually designed a pcb for it but I wanted to test the design first before committing to a pcb. I will fit the power indicator led across the output tomorrow
