6 years to break even is probably a bit much, maybe 2-3

But it’s your choice if you want to use it or not. I’m happy using the app with ads

Oh okay

Google play or iOS? Google play is 3 stars i think

Edit: Sorry sync is only for Android not iOS. I think its because of geographical location or device type as another user said

Why does it have 3 stars on the app store

Thanks for the info. Yeah I dont think we will be printing anything with metal. I just heard theres some process that does that but I am not sure how that would work

Also Im guessing you just printed the box, not the little black and red connectors, or the black piece that holds the screen or the little yellow buttons? Just wondering as I might try something similar some day.

True. Is it glued together or do the joints just hold it all together?

Very cool. Would you be worried at all about heat?

So to run the Bambulab I have to use my own 3d modelling and then a slicer?

Also I dont really get metal filament. People say you can get a metal-plastic filament and after you’ve modelled it you melt away all the plastic. Wouldnt that require the metal to be melted ? (2000+ degrees celsius)

It can be useful asking it certain questions which are a bit complex. Like on a plot which has the y axis linear and x axis logarithmic, the equation of a straight line is a little bit complicated. Its in the form y = m*(log(x)) + b rather than on a linear-linear plot which is y = m*x+b

ChatGPT is able to calculate the correct equation of the line but it gets the answer wrong a few times… lol

I used GPT4 the other day and it worked perfectly for calculating formulas of straight lines on linear-log plots but maybe I was the 2%

Thanks. I think we will go for the Bambu P1S looks like. What is an orcaslicer? Also do you know can you print metal on the Bambu?

I think we might go with the Bambulab. I have seen quite a few say they are pretty reliable. As opposed to something like the Ender 3 which I have heard people say are a bit unreliable and you have to spend time tweaking.

Some parts of the Bambulab apparently you can’t buy. Here is a youtube comment i saw “yes, they do, but as he alluded to, some of them are not replaceable, or even serviceable, like the carbon rails …”

Hopefully the carbon rails (whatever they are) wont break though lol

Which is good because phishing sites suck especially when they start hitting high up on google searches

I think we might go with the P1S. Its 749 euros compared to 649 for the P1P. And the P1P is not a complete machine it seems, theres panels missing on the top front and sides. While that would be okay, if we ever wanted to upgrade it it would be better off just getting the P1S for the extra hundred euro now and save the hassle

Yeah the fact you can’t fix it as easily makes me a bit worried about Bambu but others have said they are pretty reliable

Correction the P1S is actually 100 euros more expensive over the P1P so not quite as expensive as I thought

Think we might go with the p1p. The Prusa MK3S+ is 949 euros for pre built and the kit is 719 euros. But im not entirely sure we want to build it ourselves. The P1S is a few hundred more expensive than the P1P, so will have to check if its really worth it. I dont think we want to spend that much on it but if i feel the material available with the P1P is not as good as P1S, it might justidy it but probably not. Thanks for the info

“Any particular reason you’re looking at MK3S+ rather than an MK4 btw?”

MK4 is 1200 and MK3S+ is 700 I believe.

Thanks for the advice. My dad wants to get the Bambulab P1P as its faster than the Prusa so might get that
