• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Cyclical Mill Vibration & Power Discussion

    When you are in the speed zone that the resonance occurs, do you have a way of measuring the spindle RPM? Is it fluctuating? Probably too hard to measure accurately enough.. The other silly thought I had - do you have a tool in the spindle or is the drawbar just loose? As for spray - I can't...

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    So my mistake was looking at the Anycubic store website, where they aren't even trying to sell these. Thanks for the link, looks like these accessories are also cheaper than Bambu so that's a win assuming they are good.

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    I'm interested in getting more nozzles / hotends for mine for when it shows up so I can use 0.6mm nozzles for stuff like organization trays where I don't care too much about the surface finish and a faster print would be nice, but I can't find it in the Anycubic store? Do you know if its just...

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    You sure standard is on the left? The right hand one looks marginally better to me.

    de-magnetize digital calipers

    I believe they are capacitive not magnetic. I need to demagnetize my calipers, as well as some 1-2-3 blocks and other stuff that got magnetized by the magnetic chuck on the surface grinder.

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    Yeah, between the filament drying and the LAN mode those items pushed me over the edge on buying one versus the Bambu P1S combo. If you do buy one, just let the page sit open long enough and a $30 off pop up will show up, or you can just try putting in the discount code CART30 directly without...

    Have I been profiled?

    Yeah, Busybee have been pushing this for a while now, so you can rest easy knowing you (likely) were not profiled for this particular promotion.

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    I actually have just ordered one, got an extra $30 off the $649 US price and used that to get 4kg of PLA from them - so $659 US hit my credit card at $959 CAD. I need the filament as I'm coming into this from scratch having got rid of everything 3D printing 4 years ago. I'm excited, but at the...

    Which Linux? Be Kind…

    This. I still have LinuxCNC on my Emco compact 5, and I now have zero intent of updating / upgrading it. I went through hell as a non-programmer type when I updated the version of Linuxcnc from I think it was 2.7.X to 2.8 or 2.9.X. In my mind it should have been a walk in the park. No...

    Is a Bambu P1S the printer for me?

    So have you received the Kobra S1 and what are your thoughts on it so far? Looks like I can get it for maybe $100 less than the Bambu P1S combo. Mostly that is down to free shipping.
