Just switched from a K1M to a P1S and it's night and day

I mostly loved my K1 Max but could not get the x-axis dialed in properly, so any time I tried to print anything with a circle it would come out a bit lumpy. I'd sold my CR-10 and upgraded because I was tired of the constant tinkering and just wanted a tool that, while it will need maintenance and the like, would mostly just do...

Comparison of the two, green is the P1S and red is the K1M, and you can see the lumps and funky first layer that I couldn't get tightened up. As an added benefit with the AMS now, I can do the dates with a flush dual color easily, instead of my prior method of a manual filament swap and negative space for the characters to show the first color.

It’s not like I even have anything planned that needs the extra space, but going from 12x12 to 10x10 was a bit of a shock haha

vladmech OP ,

Totally get it and that’s why I’d gone with Creality initially, but then I kept having issues and my BIL and coworker both picked up P1Ss and it just worked and that’s apparently the cutover point for my moral stance haha

This may not be the community for you 😂

The Switch has sold over 140 million units, the third highest selling console of all time, and unlike most every other one out there was turning a profit on every unit instead of being a loss leader. Why would Nintendo think about going software only with those kind of numbers in their pocket?

I was awarded my 3 gallon award today for blood donations. ( lemmy.world )

I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate....

vladmech ,

Oh man that’s rad! I got a little pin….
Which obvi not why I do it, but yours is way cooler haha

vladmech ,

Just a pin for 1-4 gallons, and then random shirts and windbreakers here and there!

vladmech ,

Are they? I got a 3% ‘raise’ again this year and that doesn’t seem like it’s keeping up with inflation. And yes yes get a different job, blah blah.

vladmech ,

So edgy, wow.

25 donations and more to go!

I have made it to 25 donations of donated whole blood so far. I was told last week that I qualify for the 3 gallon award! That’s not why I donate, but I’m really excited to have such an honor bestowed upon me. During my last donation, they actually told me which hospital they would be sending my blood, since it was going to...

vladmech ,

Hell yeah, that’s awesome! Donating blood’s one of those things not nearly enough people do consistently.

vladmech ,

I’m in tech support; this is a split 25% of my life

Disproportionate representation can be kind of a bummer for the under represented folks. Get rid of the senate and remove the cap on the house!

vladmech ,

Oh 100% a pipe dream, yeah, but it would be so rad

vladmech ,

Fuck off, much as you’d like the USA to be a Christian theocracy, the rest of us aren’t on board with that.

vladmech ,

Okay I’m back in haha

Kamala Harris Calls For Marijuana To Be Rescheduled 'As Quickly As Possible' ( www.huffpost.com )

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called on the federal government to move “as quickly as possible” to change the way it officially classifies marijuana, saying that “nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”...

I kind of want to create an unexpected Sanderson group…

What are your experiences with the Mandela Effect?

See title. For those who don’t know, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. It’s named after Nelson Mandela because a significant number of people remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he actually passed away in 2013....

I had to go look it up to double check you weren’t trying to pull a fast one; I was 100% sure it was Bean.

vladmech ,

At the last minute I decided to go to my 10 year high school reunion with a couple buddies I had stayed in touch with. Ended up running into a lady I’d obviously gone to high school with but never knew super well, some shared classes and band and stuff. Hit it off and here we are now, married for five years.

vladmech ,

Holy shit I had no idea he was 80; dude is looking real good for his age.

So this just made my entire week ( lemmy.world )

We have a little free library out front and someone ding dong dashed this + a bag of books at our house this afternoon. Have to imagine it’s a teen who’s parent saw how many books were on the shelf and doesn’t realize I have a whole bookcase in the garage full of stuff to rotate in that I never have space for haha

vladmech ,
