Fancy jar of honey from the grocery store for me. Tasted pretty good.

    Tbh: I hate your printer to the guts. Everything about it.

    Why?

    After years of tinkering with various more or less self build ones, I finally caved in last autumn and bought a P1S, having enough of tinkering. I needed a machine that works but couldn’t justify the X1C, even though most things I do are more technical than deco/toys.

    Shortly after Bambu started that firmware crap. While the customer protection legal threads which I took part in have very likely stopped the worst of it and brought the “developer mode”, it’s still crap and well, it was a stupid idea to buy BL,yes. (Even though my machine does work very well so far…besides the shitty AMS)

    Then, when I just managed to get less salty about that, the Centauri Carbon came out. Which would have been the perfect machine for me if only…I had known about it back then (none did). It does what the P1S does not do well, it is basically everything what I would have needed out of a X1C. God damn it.

    To get over that I needed to back the Snapmaker U1 as a possible replacement for the P1S. Even though I know it will require extended tinkering to get it to print what I want it to do. Argh! (Or maybe I get a Centauri afterwards and risk divorce over it?)

    So I hate your printer and my only solace is that you will spend much more money on filament than you will on your printer. Oh fuck,I did that,too. Damn.

    (Seriously, though: Welcome to the club. It’s one of the most marvelous hobbies I ever took up. Especially if you learn how to construct yourself in CAD - which is easier than one would think. And btw: Google Spoolman and MPCNC :D)
