I'm recently getting back into mountain biking, having been out of it for about 3 decades, and would like some practical information from people who know on what the big benefits of hydraulic discs on a mountain bike. Yes, I know I could have Google's bot give me a break down, but I'd rather hear it from a human rider.
I had been moving along happily over the past year, using 6 awg cable (13mm^(2)) on my 150/100 solar controller. This past month, I have been testing new panels to replace my 285w units, and in the process, maxxed out my controller at 100 amps for 20-30 minutes at a time, and my unit shut down due to temperature. After digging in and double checking my connections, the only thing left was wire size. I upgraded the battery cable to 2 awg (35mm^(2)) and haven't seen a repeat of the problem.
I love my Victron gear! Particularly the safeguards that kept that mistake from becoming a big, big problem!
I'm just curious. I'm not looking to hate on anyone, but I'd really like to know if you enjoyed it and if it lived up to expectations.
This will be my 10th Rush show and my daughter's first! She'll finally get to understand why her dad gets so excited over their shows! 🤘😉😂
I've got a bit of dialing in to get it looking good, but it was a pretty good test! This is the file I used. I dropped it into the FS fork and set it loose. It took a bit under 9 hours!
I'm relatively certain that it's chiefly my fault, not trimming unloaded filament, but it seems like this could be a common occurrence. Anyone else have this problem?
I did this from the Snapmaker slicer and it turned out ok. I think maybe trying out different filament types or maybe opening up the printer might help with the coloring, since the white layers sort of just absorbed into the yellow layer. It took 8.5 hrs. I was able to get it off of my Biqu build plate by popping it in the freezer for a few minutes! Worked like a charm! I was concerned that I might have to turn the build plate into a frame! ;)
This is a follow-up to yesterdays post about my duck! My scale is busted, so I can't verify weights, but the slicer says the totals, print and waste/tower are under 300 grams; 180 for the print and 95-ish for the rest, but I'm not sure. The file is on the Printables site and Snapmaker is definitely giving the Prusa printers a run for their money!
edit: Just for hee-haws, I ran the file through my Elegoo and Bambu slicer (didn't print, so these are just estimates) and Elegoo is claiming around 32 hours to print on the Centauri Carbon 2 and my Bambu P2S is predicting 42 hours!! Elegoo is notorious for under-estimating big on their prints and my history with it bears that out, so I'd dare say it would actually be closer to 40 on it.
This little dude is a creation by K3DPrint over on Patreon (no, I'm not them). But he was the 1st print I did on my Bambu P2S with the AMS 2 Pro setup and it wound up being the thing that pushed me into ordering the Snapmaker! The P2S took around 13 hours total and produced as much waste (or more) as the print weighed! Needless to say, this one did not!
I'm currently doing this model on the U1 right now and I've got 9hrs left. I'll post an update with pics and info when it's finished!
edit: Here's the finished bin! Enjoy!
What are some things that the community feels are 'must haves' after the purchase? I know that I'll want to get the top before too long. Any input would be welcome! Looking forward to seeing much less filament going in the waste bin!
Found the 'Micro-Benchy' on MakerWorld and thought it would be a good test print for the .2mm nozzle I picked up! Turned out ok! (No affiliate links, I'm not that popular!)
This duck came from K3DPrint, from Patreon. It's a paid model and it turned out so cool! (Just fyi; I'm not K3DPrint, nor am I affiliated with them, I just like the duck!) It took 12hr 45min to print and produced a metric butt-ton of poop, but I like it!
I've been on a lot of the 3d prints webpages, looking for 'maybe some weekend' ideas and one of the ones I found was this one! I had a bunch of fans and thought it would be a pretty cool project! It just got shoved into the 'this weekend' box, because of this ad (which is the 2nd pic)!
That's basically a $395.00 (!!) version of that 3d print! I've got to do it now!
