Still doesn't provide a lot of value.
what ya mean? OEM cost for test tube holders was a lot. in the hundreds per size? mine hold 2 sizes and the guy is happy with um.

I'm with Kay on this one, I'm still not sure what I'm looking at bud. Can you further elaborate what and why we need to hold test tubes in a liquid?
Are we electronically dispensing flavor packs in a glass of water? Radiating serum for super soldiers? Taking temp readings?

from customer request it seems like it uses an ultrasonic slug in the bottom to generate some kinda mixing action in the test tube. all i know is hold the test tube off the bottom but not vertical. 2 sizes.
really aint much more to it than that at this point.

A while ago, someone was asking about this (bolded)... Go with Orca, imo. It isn't nearly as intrusive from a security or privacy perspective, and since its open source developed code version of the exact same Bambu source code, it seems to be responding faster to resolving issues once they are noted by the general user population. No slam against Bambu but it feels like they are using their "users" as the product. Orca is the exact same code but its not sharing user data.

Wanted to keep boxes/items from sliding around in the back of the car, so created these cargo corners. Put grip tape on the bottom to add friction, and put them under the corner of whatever you don't want to move. These are also stackable so they are fairly compact

Thanks for the suggestion.
Probably should have mentioned I will be using it inside a closed environment, with limited outside Internet access (school). Not using the Bambu app to send prints, trying to get LAN mode thru the network, but currently using Microsd cards. So less concern for security/privacy (that is handled by IT), but giving Orca a shot.

Here's my first foray into printing.. actually my son's. RC crawler body. Thingiverse file printed at the library for 2 bucks on a Prusa.

Must be a nice library to offer 3d printing services! Very nice.

They have a whole 'maker space'.. it's nuts. 4 printers, tons of filament, etc.

That sounds more in the X1E's wheelhouse since those have Ethernet ports on them

Yes, mostly because the Wi-Fi is student facing, and Ethernet is teacher-based. But having a hard time paying another 1K simply for Ethernet (other upgrades aren't needed for our use).

Good to know! Can you explain more the issues? If I recall correctly, didn't you just put a new extruder in one of them?
I struggle to nail anything specific down. they've been really solid overall. i treated them like dogshit and they kept pumping parts out. bent nozzles that were difficult to see i'd say caused a lot of the issues over the hundreds of prints they did.
Yea put new gears into it. belts are original. tightened twice.

What does retirement look like for farm printers? Do they go over the rainbow bridge to live happily ever after in a scrapyard? Take a trip to greener pastures (someone else's house) via FBMP? Or are they simply moved to a different room in the house for experimental prints from time to time?

These are going to the worst possible place I can think of for them.

You really should print out a mini delivery truck to give the driver as a thank-you...

I’m guessing he did that on purpose, hoping to get a tip…. Lol

After quite a few upgrades, the older printer is printing well again.
Upgrades included :
Bigtreetech manta m8p running klipper
Bigtreetech hot end
Bigtreetech mini sensor
24v power supply
120v AC heat bed
1/4" aluminum build plate with magnetic PEI build sheet
Logitech webcam
The original plan was just to replace the controller to play with klipper. Things kind of snowballed from there.
Now that it's printing well, I'll do a bunch of cable management. I also still want to wire up a chamber exhaust fan controlled by the chamber temperature.
I'm really liking the way klipper runs on this machine. Later this year I'll probably replace the controller on the bigger printer with the same one.

Let's talk about filling up a build plate...
The little kayak fitting I'm printing takes ~45 minutes if I print them one at a time. I just set up the build plate to print 4 and it'll take an hour less than if I printed them one at a time. I knew it would save some time. I just didn't think it'd save 'that' much time.

If I am doing multiples I try to squeeze as many onto the plate as possible. A cool feature of the Bambu is the ability to skip an object. So if something goes wrong on one item, you don't have to scrap the whole plate. I suspect other printers have the same capability.
