Footfinity V2

I know dozens of you liked and downloaded my Footfinity files over the last couple of years, and I've been toying with a V2 that is, I feel, faster to print, more reliable, compatible with half sizes (so a 21mm foot on a 42mm grid) and also customisable once I upload the file so that you can make bins more easily without needing Fusion.

Would a couple people like to run a test print and see?

For the unfamiliar, I got tired of wasting time and filament printing endless feet for boxes that did not need them, so I spent even more time making feet that you simply attach after the print, saving time and filament.

EDIT: For clarity, these are not (currently) designed to be attached to any old thing you want to add feet to. In their current form they are simply a way to print a bin and the feet you NEED rather than the 13 that you don't! I assumed someone had already made feet you could glue to random stuff.

Coil lead arcing to block when the plug is disconnected

It's been a day. I've been waiting on spares for an efco chainsaw to come in for weeks. A flywheel, a oil pump and the oil pickup. All fitted, machine back together save for the chain. It fires up just fine.

I take it back into the shop to fit the chain and come back out with a screwdriver to get it started and then sort the idle out, as it wanted to run off on you.

Literally cannot get it started again even when then removing the chain.

One thing I noticed when checking compression (170psi) was the coil lead arcing to the block with the plug removed. I don't feel like it should do that, but I can't see it when the plug is connected.

Just looking for help before I fire it into the sun.

No matter what unit you have, multi colour with little waste is really really cool

I ran off these straw toppers for a kids birthday and since it was done on a H2C the waste of material was basically only the prime tower.

Same result could be achieved on the U1 or an INDX or whatever other options exist (those two would do it faster too but that's a different issue).

I used to have a single nozzle printer with an AMS and while I could do multi colour if I did it was sparingly because of the waste involved, and almost always just stuff for a few layers for text on a box or something.

As soon as you get any of the machines that can do it without all the purge, you're going to be printing so much more stuff and using your new found ability.

With the addition of Full Spectrum as well its even better.

Had a 3D printer for many years now and this is by far the most exciting time in it for me, even though a lot of my stuff is still just functional single colour parts.

Parking enforcement at Worcester Woods?

Whenever I take the kids to WW to ride their bikes we almost always park in the council bit as it's bigger and they can ride around in the empty car park without risking them or anyone else (can't ride where we live much). Seen signs up saying its NHS only or council only but it's always empty when I'm there so are they actually enforcing anything or is it just open at weekends and public holidays?

I've been using the customizer a bit more recently, and it doesn't make sense from an end user perspective that you can specify the parameters you want changed, but when you export to a 3mf it just uses a generic 3mf, and not one of the profiles the creator has specified.

It doesn't cause me a problem as I know what I'm doing, but for newcomers who I imagine make up a big chunk of Bambu's audience at this point, surely making it easy for them is the point. As it is, they have to download a profile, then go to the customizer, export as an STL and then bring that file into the profile they already downloaded.
