    3d Printers South Africa

    A very late rey but thought this might help other potential buyers to decide. There are many mods you can print on the A1 to place the AMS on top of the printer so the whole takes up much less space.

    So far I haven't needed any replacements. According to one Youtube reviewer, he hasn't needed to replace the stainless steel nozzle despite printing daily for a year. I'd be interested to hear what other Bambu Lab users say.

    Quoting previous posts: I’m not using the Bambu filament (too expensive) and it works just fine (Sunlu, eSun, BuildVolume generic PETG, Polymaker Polyflex TPU) - that said, the AMS did not like the SAFilament I had lying around so I’ve shelved that for now. I really like eSun PLA+: it prints...

    Good to know that you have bought from Geewiz before. I wasn't sure if they were legit.

    I got mine through Buildvolume as well. Email them and ask about placing an order. They seem to order fairly often and sell them very quickly, most on preorder. I am very happy with their service so far. Shipping was very fast once the printers arrived in SA. They stock many spares and...

    I did a temperature tower, flow rate, pressure advance, retraction tower and maximum volumetric flow in Orca Slicer. I actually made a change to the retraction length as well, not sure now how much that was. This is all very new to me and I followed a tutorial to do it. I think the temperature...

    Love the mini tech. I have some of these in my extremely long print queue. I actually bought the Sunlu Meta specifically for miniatures, as recommended by Fat Dragon Designs on YouTube.

    I got terrible stringing and very uneven walls using the generic PLA and the Bambu PLA Basic profiles. Also terrible bridging. I've lowered the first layer nozzle temp to 200°C and the other layers to 190°. I've also changed the pressure advance setting to 0.012. I'm about to change the maximum...

    Great to get some recommendations for filaments. I got my Bambu A1 mini at the beginning of December. I really like eSun PLA+: it prints beautifully and isn't glossy but also not matte. Polymaker Polyterra PLA works well as a matte option. Sunlu Silky PLA+ also performs very well. I've been...

    Clinobrite pool filter material

    We replaced our filter sand with Clinobrite today. Hoping for several years of improved filtration! This thread convinced me to make the change.

    The Official Webafrica Telkom LTE Feedback Thread

    My router took 56 hours from being switched on to finally show the blue light. (Apparently, the Telkom towers don't work on public holidays, although the WebAfrica couriers do.) Light is blue, wifi signal is on, and reception is at three bars. BUT l connect to the network using the Wifi key...
