I cant get past the log files and "Plate 1"that bambu sends from your printer. Think nobody has your prototype? How do you guys be ok with this? and still buying bambu? and yes even when you tell it to not use internet connection its still collecting and sending log files and your plate 1 info. to a amazon server!

@fidesachates1
@fidesachates1 4 дня назад
@@st0mper121 that’s not it’s intended purpose. It may be possible to configure a pihole to block dns requests for the host the printer is trying to connect to, but this has many problems. One example is if it’s connecting to a cloud service provider, it’s unlikely you’ll want to block AWS. The isolated vlan or a specific firewall rule in your router is the best way to handle this situation.

I’m guessing they are too busy with the sale right now.

The 40w has worse engraving qualities ?
@FreshStartCustoms
@FreshStartCustoms 28 дней назад
You probably won’t notice the difference in most situations honestly but technically the 20w has a smaller focus point and could get a better engraving with higher detailed designs but it is unlikely you’ll be able to tell the difference most of the time.

I just bought an S1. I’d have struggled a lot between it and the new Ultra had it been announced a few weeks earlier, but I think I’m still happy with my choice. The S1 was a couple thousand cheaper and still has a significantly larger work area. I think starting out, it’ll be a great machine. If it ends up making a significant amount of money, maybe it’ll pay for another machine later on. The S1 also has safety features that either F1 can’t match due to the design, particularly the auto-shutoff when the lid is up.
@FreshStartCustoms
@FreshStartCustoms Месяц назад
Yes the S1 is definitely a great starting machine to get, it is very close to my top pick as well. If it wasn’t for the speed of the f1 I would choose the S1 as my go too and the s1 wins out for size as well.
@FreshStartCustoms
@FreshStartCustoms Месяц назад
Now if you can get both at the same time!! Then you have a dream team. Portable and fast f1 for shows and stationary s1 and work space for big projects.
