  • The Anycubic has presets for .4 and .6 in brass or hardened steel. It’s only missing .2.

    I couldn’t care less. Drying is done in an oven.

    You can’t claim the S1 is incomplete for not having a .2 nozzle presets and then turn around and say that a built in filament dryer doesn’t matter when Bambu made it a pro feature. Especially when .4 is what you get out of the box from Bambu and .2 requires modifying your printer by swapping the hot end.

    Bought the P1S combo (AMS 1) for 636

    Where? I see 800€ everywhere.

    And where I “go after” Bambu is what you didn’t mention: locked down firmware and no alternative slicer.


  • It’s more about the general thing that they are not finished products. At least not to the extent the Bambu are.

    That’s like saying a Toyota isn’t a finished product compared to a BMW. The Anycubic works and isn’t locked down to their cloud service. You can even install open source firmware. The S1 AMS does filament drying that the p1S doesn’t do without the pro AMS.

    I agree that Anycubic should sell nozzles but 3rd party nozzles are available.

    Like I said there’s a temporary sale that makes the P1S a great value. The S1 is not $50-$100 cheaper. It was $1000 vs $650. Now it’s $700 vs $450.


  • This is exactly why.

    To be fair, the internet is full of complaints that the P1S has problems with layer 1 too.

    Before the current P1S sale it was $600 for a Anycubic with ams vs $1000 for a P1S with AMS. But what got me to get the Anycubic was they haven’t locked users out of Orca slicer and forced cloud like Bambu. Anycubic has cloud features if you want it but you aren’t forced.



  • I have an Anycubic S1 combo. Enclosed, AMS, networked, hackable (Rinkhals kliipper) . 700 hours on it and it’s been fine. Layer 1 isn’t absolutely perfect across the entire bed but as long as you aren’t mass printing coasters with layer 1 designs, you won’t notice. It’s never been enough of an issue for me to bother tweaking the defaults.

    But if this for a business, you should probably cave and get a P1S.


  • I have been printing a lot of tpu the past few weeks. I’ve been using magigoo glue stick. I have no idea if it’s the best because it was a random YouTuber recommendation. But it’s been working.

    I’ve been using Anycubic TPU 95, Esun foaming TPU, and Variosure foaming TPU on textured pei plate.





  • tbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.

    So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.









  • During the 90’s water usage limits were placed on toilets. Instead of improving the design, manufacturers only made the tanks smaller which didn’t provide enough flushing force.

    Anything more than one piece of toilet paper could cause a clog.

    Current toilets use a larger flush valve or multiple flaps for a more powerful flush than a 1970’s toilet while using half the water.


  • I could talk toilets for hours. When I bought my house I spent a week pulling the 6 toilets out, scrubbing them outside, installing all new hardware and gaskets then reinstalling. -Only to find they were all horrible toilets.

    I started replacing them one by one trying different brands and options. My favorite is the Champion one piece. It’s a beast to install because it’s literally one giant piece of porcelain. But that also means less chance for a leak in 30 years.
