I really don't have room for them out there, but may need to **** it up and find a way

When I setup my 2nd printer... Wife came into my office and said proudly... Can we throw out the old one now?

I definitely don't have room for it in the garage, or all the freaking spools of filament but at the moment that's the only place it can be. It isn't ideal for the space.

I have one too, just have not installed it yet. Procrastination is in my genes...

I just installed it and put a few rolls in.
The instructions were good overall and the included hex tool was pretty great for the purpose. It seems well designed

I'm trying to keep the filament under control...but I was also trying to keep the printers under control...

Depends on what his or wife had waiting for him at home. It might take an hour, or might he be "forced" to put in many hours of over time to get it done.
Ubiquiti sold the lights for a short time, I don't know who is selling them these days. A quick google search didn't come up with anything that looked legit. I'm sure you can buy anything no name from Alibaba. However, I would expect there would be a mainstream provider. I'll have to ask my friend who he used.
I'm building a b20v right now and while doing some final assembly of the head I found 3 of the vtec pins were stuck in their rocker arms and wouldn't budge. I was able to free up one of them by soaking in a solvent but the others two were stuck bad. (The pins are in blind holes so there's no way to get at them from behind)
I decided to get creative and made some TPU caps to close off the rocker shaft openings.
Caps were then held in place via a clamp and I jammed the tip of my air nozzle into the last hole and started blasting ~80psi into it.
After about 30 seconds each of the stuck pins popped out with a nice thump. I made sure to aim the pin towards something soft to catch them so they wouldn't get lost or damaged when they shot out.
I love when my silly ideas work.

Printed these plugs for the CNC dog crate, cause the caplugs kept popping off, and the clips to hold the laser burner aiming cam.

Add kids and it becomes a month...
Found a practical use for mine and printed a replacement foot for a set of those modular plastic shelves. Two moves in six months and that was the only lost part, guess I didn't do too bad...

I don't understand how their thought process works. Why would you throw out a perfectly good machine because you ADDED another machine?

Add a brim? That object looks like there isn't a lot of surface area to stick to the plate. I hardly every have adhesion issues with PLA if my plate is clean. When I print objects with thin/narrow areas against the plate, I add a brim. I hate that Bambu's factory profiles all have brim turned on for everything, as it isn't needed for every filament and every model, but it can be useful.I hate PLA
Also, do you have the aux fan on? That can contribute to adhesion issues on the left side of the build plate.

A brim likely would have helped, agreed. And yes, the fan was on.
It's a well reviewed model I grabbed from makerworld and just hit print, so I wasn't expecting to need to mess with it. I already reprinted (successfully) in Petg.

How do you feel about the P1S?
Are the A1's just from getting started?
they do the color work.
mike93lx

Any particular reason?
i like the AMS they use over the P1S ams.
and now i can use them for automated 5 gallon bucket handle printing.
