  • A lot of that seemingly came from when modder = cheater in GTAV. Saw a huge swing to that at the height of that game’s popularity.

    Edit: Read through the comments and it’s related to GTA but in a different way. The guy was comparing bootlegging to modding because someone in his country, Indonesia, was modding GTA:SA to add children’s show characters to it, changing the packaging to make it more appealing to children, and then is selling the discs to people. Which is a whole other can of worms.

    Anyone else that mentioned they didn’t like modding didn’t really elaborate.


  • Oh, it’s got other issues than that, but the crackling is the most unnerving.

    Some of the audio from my Jellyfin media player (flatpak) just hasn’t been playing. So I check Helvum and sometimes it just doesn’t even patch it over. I got the deb of JMP installed and that seems to have made it behave, but the maintainer of JMP hasn’t made that easy with all sorts of weird patches and junk.

    My only issue with pulse audio was that I had to open Pulse effects each time I restarted my computer because it wouldn’t auto load the settings.






  • No, no. I offered assistance.

    What do I do with the white one? Put it in the last slot? Does the machine know when to use the white one as a support?

    I don’t use the support filament as I have enough filament that using a bit for a model or two here or there isn’t a huge loss. However, you can use the Bambu Studio program and “paint” the support structures with that filament and it will use that instead of whatever normal filament you are using.

    (Note on this, because these machines use NFC for the official bambu filaments, it might do it automatically. Don’t count on that though and always double check.)

    You can keep it in your AMS anywhere you like, but for those onboard print files, it typically uses AMS slot one.

    What would you consider is your favorite filament to work with? I’m thinking of splurging on a set off ebay. But at the same time, are discount filaments ok?

    I love Inland filaments because I’m close to a Microcenter and can go and physically look at them before purchasing them. If you aren’t close to a Microcenter though, Inland filaments are Polymaker and eSun.

    If you plan to get cheap filament, make sure you keep your bed as clean as you can because you want to rule that out immediately if there is an issue. I use Isopropyl alcohol before every print to remove any grease/oil/dust from the bed.

    And do you use a special plate? People have mentioned golden ones that are easier to bend to pop out the build? Mine just scraped off fairly easy. And I’ve read to use hairspray or windex to make it easier to pop off later.

    I use the standard PEI plate that comes with the machine. I allow the bed to cool off in the machine and then get the print off. Makes it much easier.

    Controlling these printers is best done from a PC. Bambu Studio will give you the most options to control your prints. The Bambu Handy app works great as well but I find it limiting.
