  1. Now this diagram should not need much explaining
  2. I will be using that when replying to customers who sends mails to me rather the help desk. It should work really well as they all speak Danish.
  3. I left the UK about 33 years ago. Can anyone tell when it became compulsory to start every conversation with the word “So...” ?
  4. Hmm google can not help me? I was ready with a semaphore reply, but what is the language here?
  5. There is a car factory at Malvern still doing this.
  6. or update it to a newer version
  7. That's what I did, but the highest end was warped in the Z axis, so the wall was not straight. I will end up using a new fdm back wall with resin vaults, and resin statues in the alcoves.
  8. Tupperware is a perfect example of quantum mechanics: In any box, there may be a matching box and lid, but you only know for certain if you look for it. This also means that if you have a box without a lid and you spin it, them somewhere in the universe a tupperware lid starts spinning by itself.
  9. Here is another comparison print. This is just about the maximum size the resin printer could cope with, the rough edge on the left is where the print met the raft. The two designs are not quite the same. The size of the arches was not quite right on the resin test print, There was also an error in the 1st statue enclosure on the left hand side. I corrected them on the same day I received my Bambu and this was the first test print made using one of my designs on that printer. In my effort to fit the whole design in such a way that the walls did not touch the raft, I tilted the wall a few more degrees and this resulted in resin print version of the new design becoming too warped to use! ( and it took 14 hours to print!) . I
  10. As I said I have only just got the Bambu. This is printer with the filiment that came with the pinter and uses 0.4 nozzles, Please excuse my ignorance. Is changing the nozzle size just done in software og do I need to change some hardware in the printer?
  11. I have a Elegoo Mars 3 Pro resin printer for about 4 months, and have just bought a Bambu Lab X1/P1S. The Bambu is streets ahead in ease of use. It is much faster, there is no need for cleaning or curing, The P1S has a webcam, so I can see how the print is going from my PC. It is also on my network. The build volume is quite a lot larger than the Elegoo, and the bed is self-levelling. I have not yet had any failed prints on it. The Elegoo has only a USB and is very fussy about USB sticks. Only about 1 in five of those I own can be recognised by it (and that does not even include the one that is packaged with the printer!) Just look on the internet and you can see that this is a common fault. My limited experience (I have done about 30 prints on the Elegoo) is that it can produce much finer results for some types of structure than the Bambu, but there is a lot of fiddling involved. I find it hard to prevent warping at the edge of prints sometimes. Here is a picture that shows the strengths and weaknesses of the two printers the design is the same, I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the design for a vaulted roof in the entrance to a model of Hatch Court. The fusion file is exported as an STL file. For the resin printer I use LycheeSlicer to produce the file. Because of the size the print had to be angled diagonally to fit the print volume and this results in a lot of wasted supports. The Bambu print was sliced in Bambu Syudio, which is very easy to use. It was just printed flat on the bed of the printer, so no wasted plastic. But the print results show clearly why I use the resin printer for this type of object. They are the same size even they do not seem to be so in the photo. The Bambu has a lot of lines visible. I am not sure that I would say it blurs the difference. I forgot to say that the Bambu print took 1.5 hours and the Elegoo print took 12 hours + 1 for cleaning and curing. My practice is to use the Bambu for test prints and then the resin for the final production
  12. I would not want to be the ticket inspector on either of these trains. It also puts the WCRC battle with ORR into perspective
  13. Oh Cod, not again! nothing but fish puns for the next few pages.
  14. Yet again Hornby is the butt of jokes
