Good to hear. Your Dyson (quite sure it was you) trigger thingybob that I printed a good while back has saved me so much time in my home, and also on my mothers machine at hers!

Awesome. I'm glad you like it. I still use mine too!
Well done, got a link to your makerworld?
I've got a few models which do ok but don't qualify for boosts so feel I'm missing out.
Thank you. DOnt have a 3d printer yet, but i can see a few things in there that might be of use!
I haven't looked. Luckily, most of my stuff is pretty niche so is unlikely to be copied.
I went to a car boot sale a few weeks back and there were tons of stalls selling hundreds of those flexi dragons.
Haven't been printing much recently due to the heat but printing today I ran into a situation I thought I'd have to intervene in but, turns out, Bambu Lab had thought of this.
2 rolls of PETG, same make and colour, in my AMS 2 where 1 had minimal filament left on it. Set to auto switch when the almost empty one ran out, but as I was printing something that only need about 18g of filament, there was filament left in the tube going into the print head.#
I thought I'd have to manually pull it out but no, my H2S just purged the filament till the tube/nozzle was empty. I took my printer security, A Kawasaki Teddy Bear, off the top glass and had already removed the top glass in anticipation.

The firmware on Bambu Lab printers are amazing, I have had similar experience switching between Nylon and PLA. The printer knew exactly what temperature to purge the Nylon before loading the PLA. I was sure the transition would cause a blockage, but no it worked perfectly. Its just a shame BL are trying to lock down the 3D printing ecosystem.
I figured I'd post this here as it's 3D printing any not everyone looks in Motors.
Dont be afraid to look at the K series of Creality printers too. Loving my K2 Combo.

I got into Bambu Lab 3D printing in February and bought the P2S. It’s fantastic, but I wish I’d waited for the X2D. As you go deeper into the hobby, you’ll also want an extra o AMS 2 Pro or a AMS HT. If you’re just testing the waters, a cheap A1 mini is a great way to try 3D printing before jumping in too deep, and once you do, the extra £120 for the X2D will feel absolutely worth it.

Definitely, I will check it out!
This was my worry hah, it’s always just a bit more the next one!
But maybe you’re right, kick off with A1 mini and then have my eyes on the x2d as the next step.
Very interesting and helpful, thanks! I backed the Revopoint Inspire based on one of your posts a few years back but it has been gathering dust, should really have a bash at actually using it.

Been trying to get back into printing useful stuff but for some reason my printer is letting me down. Gonna spend the weekend trying to figure what's going wrong

Not sure what I did but it's getting better results all of a sudden.

That Parkside X20V ceiling tool mount is a great idea. As I have loads of the 20v tools I have downloaded that one and gave you a thumbs up for it, many thanks for that.
