We've ID'd a major issue printing Pro PCTG on a @snapmaker U1. If you enable "Extrusion Flow Calibration" when sending a print to the U1, it calibrates at 220C, which is far too cold for Pro PCTG. This will give massively incorrect U1 internal calibration values, and your print will almost certainly look like trash. It appears the U1 firmware 1.6.0 isn't parsing/associating the Pro PCTG sliced temperature correctly and falls back to its built-in material temperature. This seems to be because Snapmaker doesn't have PCTG as a reference material in their firmware (even though it's a filament option on the U1 screen). Solution for now: do not enable Extrusion Flow Calibration when sending or starting a print on your U1. Instead, manually calibrate the pressure advance value following the instructions from Snapmaker's wiki: wiki.snapmaker.com/en/snapma… #3dprinting

Time for some Pro PCTG profiles #3dprinting

51 missions as a B-24 Liberator nose gunner with the 484th Bomb Group. This Veterans Day, I remember my late grandfather, Staff Sgt. Ben Schneider. Thank you to all who served. Model: MakerWorld #2571857 by Grafitomi #VeteransDay #3DPrinting

Goodness. Yes, we are from Fargo and we are flying to Chicago. You get us.

H3C is official, and ours arrives Tuesday. What we got right and wrong about the leaks, the $2,499 price, 75A TPU on 2.85 mm, and why we're starting with Pro PCTG profiles. youtu.be/f7KqYNbJQY4 #3DPrinting

Our filament just got cheaper. For good. Every 1 kg spool costs less, and is still made in the USA. Bulk discounts up to 30% stack. youtu.be/r17xREUv6U8 #3DPrinting #madeinusa

Is Bambu treating intellectual property like a risk worth taking? Use it first, seek a license later. Could it help them gain market share now and make it harder for others to compete?

Bambu's H3C: 9 tools, a drop-down tool rack, a 2.85mm TPU 75A, and maybe mixed nozzle sizes in one print. Plus a P3C with 7 tool docks. Everything we know (before Tuesday's reveal, and an 8-color Pro PCTG print on the H2C. youtu.be/1hGBcS5BRwM #3DPrinting

I think this is a pretty solid testament to the Pro PCTG profile we have developed for the @BambulabGlobal H2C 🤯 8 colors, 0.4mm nozzles, 0.2mm layer height. 4.5 days of continuous #3dprinting!

Product "leaks" remind me of a band leaving the stage after a concert, but before playing their big hit. Everyone knows they're gonna come back. It's obvious, but we do like playing adult peekaboo with upcoming products as much as with our favorite bands 😂 #3dprinting #bambulab

Almost done! #3dprinting

Late to the party, but the Majora's Mask print is looking pretty good so far in Pro PCTG on the H2C #3DPrinting

More filament, made faster: two high-speed extrusion lines and automated winders are expanding production capacity. #Manufacturing #Automation

Understanding manufacturing pricing goes beyond material costs. Production complexity, inventory demands, and specialty materials drive the bottom line. Increased capacity unlocks better value for customers. #3DPrinting #Manufacturing

Formlabs is shaking up the 3D printing industry with the new $699 Studio One. By combining more accessible pricing with new Alpha Resins, they are challenging the status quo for desktop production. Is this the shift pro-sumers have been waiting for? #3DPrinting #Formlabs

Formlabs just launched a $699 resin printer, Bambu Lab may have leaked a 9-toolhead H3C (we know, it's official now! Nov 3 unveiling date), and we more than doubled filament production in Fargo. New, automatic quantity discounts: - 5 spools = 5% - 20 spools = 10% - 50 spools = 15% - 100 spools = 20% - 500 spools = 25% - 1000 spools = 30% And yes, there's free shipping on all orders $99+ to the contiguous USA. youtu.be/IRX50qGL1yY #manufacturing #3dprinting #madeinusa #additivemanufacturing

Rumors are (well, WERE) swirling around a potential Bambu Lab H3C leak. With Formnext approaching, we might finally see if these specs hold up or if it is just industry chatter. What features are you hoping to see in their next machine? #BambuLab #3DPrinting

We'll have Pro PCTG profiles for this as soon as humanly possible. #3dprinting
