  • Nah man, the whole point is to have a presence on the wider internet. If you wanna talk in private, there are already chat rooms for that, but FOSSCAD was the one place that was easily discoverable.

    E: Also that would break federation lol

  • GunCAD Wiki

  • Like a community wiki? We'll see -- I don't wanna commit to another service just yet, not while this one's still warming up.

  • Agreed -- Discord is an information black hole. The less we use it as a repository, the better.

  • The Index will only scrape from Odysee. But if these file drops are posted there, they'll make their way in, I'm sure

  • I think there are a few things I need to wrangle to get federation to work, but yes, I do plan on it.

  • I'm really curious if that SF5 TURD works well. I love my Super Safety, but it's also way easier to flick a lever selector than to ensure a SS is in the middle position.

  • You fuckin' know it

  • Help me choose a printer | X1C vs P1S | What's your preferred filament?

    Jump

  • No increase in quality, but no decrease either.

    No opinion on the AMS vs AMS2 -- haven't tried the latter. My Nylon setup involves a $60 food dehydrator and a $60 SUNLU filament "dryer" that doesn't go above 70C but can be printed from. I would advise not running CF filament through the AMS for the sake of its longevity, but if the AMS2 has hardened gears or something then you can probably send it.

  • LAN mode is fine, but I don't think there's a way to get Bambu Handy to play nicely with it, no. But in LAN mode, it should be safe to connect to it via Orca -- that traffic doesn't leave your LAN, last someone sniffed it with wireshark.

    It's not an entry-level setup by any fucking means, but what I've got is my Bambu hooked up to HomeAssistant, which proxies the webcam and lets me view it from my phone along with all of its instrumentation. That plus some HA automations to message me on Matrix when the printer starts, stops, has an error, etc.

    x1plus is good. I don't use any of its niche features, just like the peace of mind and the quicker pre-print calibration.

    Jump

  • I'm actually in the position of having used both an X1C and a P1S.

    The TL;DR:

    • The P1S has a 1Hz(!) refresh rate camera whereas the X1C does 24 or 30 or whatever
    • The X1C does automatic flow rate calibration via the LIDAR sensor not present on the P1S
    • The X1C can have x1plus flashed to it, which allows finer control over the printer and, more importantly, optimizes its pre-print calibration sequence down to about half the usual time. There is no equivalent for the P1S.

    Are those differences worth like $400? Up to you.

  • My brother in Christ, this is the GunCAD Index Lemmy instance. You can just link the files. There's no need to talk circles around what we're doing or where we find things.

    (That said I'm not sure about this particular one, but there are a lot of DB Alloy handguards out there)

  • I figured being quick was really important here. I don't want us to fall into the trap of 5 different splinter subreddits that all face the same existential problem and share none of their userbase.

  • Hello

    Jump

  • For right now, I don't wanna touch b/s/t stuff, not until I've had a chance to talk with Scout of /r/fosscad at length about what he thinks murdered the subreddit. It's not that I'm really opposed to the idea, I just don't wanna wind up in the same punji pit.

  • As we build this place, let's not forget the front door.

  • Worry not -- I specifically picked this platform because I think it'll be a good face. The UI has good SEO and Lemmy exposes a sitemap I can feed to Google for indexing content. We won't know how well we appear in search results for at least a week or so, but I'm not gonna let us vanish into a corner of the internet here.
