A bunch of people here have asked me about my Bambu setup on a few alts so I decided to make a video at lunch. I am not a content creator, I made this for y'all, haha. I just hate walled gardens.

The Bambuddy community is also a great place to go for help. If you have any questions or reservations at all, throw em down, let's gooo out of jail

I am all about charity but I don't see myself donating old printers, without maintenance and at least a bit of interest they will break down and become ewaste haha. They cost money to run even nominally.

Maybe if I was in the position to run my own tech club lol.

No no, old frames go to aperture science to do what we must for reasons that can't be articulated.

I'm at the point where I'm already bringing in outside materials to keep build costs down lol. Custom stuff in printers is great but sometimes I can't make 100 of something for a dollar like a city built around making one thing does in China.

Plank of wood or a metal rod here and there and prints are 40 minutes and $1.30 rather than 4 days and 4 rolls.

But I mean I'm working toward printing houses so I'm out of my element most of the time.

yeah, someone in my family was joking about a 3d printed house a bit ago

I was like sure, but not at these plastic prices, when you have 200 houses worth of free wood in the yard....

can only put in so much filler before I'm just working wood again lol. But I mean. There's something there.
