So far I’ve just been using the basic obd2 Bluetooth things but the apps available are very limited. I’ve been able to do some custom PIDs for some of my vehicles, and others you can often find tools that allow you to do some specific programming but it lacks a lot. I’ve been considering some of the ones you can find for around $400 from China but I’m not sure if those are anywhere near the same level as the 10k snap on ones.

I just wanna say I love your comment and the KOTH references.

If you zoom in to 1m resolution and then slowly zoom out, you’ll see the name change back and forth several times. Very odd.

What does fiber optic mean in this context? Like a fiber optic cable attached to the drone for communicating with it?

Weirdness: The default g-code for the machine does silly things like park the nozzle over the build plate letting it ooze, instead of over the nozzle wiper/waste container.

The filament change routine is strange, requiring you to remove the bowden tube to cut the filament every time. This is easily fixed by printing a filament cutter and using that to cut the filament.

The bowden tube rubs against the top plexiglass lid for the machine, requiring you to print a riser for the lid to avoid it getting all scratched up.

The door for the machine is an odd shape design with no handle making it a little annoying to get a grip to open it.

The filament holder they include is a very bad design, flexes heavily with a full roll of filament and I have had spools fall off several times while printing.

The touch screen menu isn’t very intuitive and it can be very laggy at times.

Good features for the price point: Fully enclosed with built in chamber heater.

Pretty decent auto leveling system.

Timelapse camera.

Runs klipper/mainsail and input shaping is pretty cool.

I have around 500 hours on mine and I haven’t had any prints fail that were the fault of the machine so I’m pretty impressed by that. And I find the features and capabilities to be pretty great for the price point. They just could use to do some polishing of the design

I have a Qidi Q1 Pro and I’m pretty happy with it. Very fast precise prints and pretty reliable. There’s definitely some strange design decisions and weird quirks to it and Bambu machines feel way more polished. Overall I’d definitely recommend the Qidi machines but they are not quite as simple for people with no 3d printing experience. They are very feature rich and amazing printers for the price.

Whats a reputable source to compare ratings/reviews for these machines? Do you have any personal recommendations?

Good afternoon guys. IWNDWYT! It’s my day off and it’s hard to keep out of my head, but I’m happy I can at least post here for some community.

I’m on my second real day. Craving suck and all that but just for today I will not be drinking with you guys. Thanks for being here.

Well… I’m sure their point was, that services such as that shouldn’t at all be needed to understand what you’re agreeing to. But thank you for sharing!

That was fantastically relevant and awesome. Thank you.

The video portrays a fun chemistry experiment making wood into a more dense, stronger material. It says nothing at all about an “issue” or solutions to “American problems.”
