Upgrading mother boards, PID calibration, stepper motor calibration and the most hair pulling occurred while configuring Marlin 2.0. Then one night in a wind storm, a rather larger tree fell across the house right above the printer station. That was 3 years ago. I still have the printer but never got around to setting it back up.
I've been watching the "What have you printed today" thread every now and then and thought I should start up again but I didn't want to get back in all the calibration stuff my beloved printer would need. Then the Bambu printers hit the market. I just could not make myself pull the trigger. Bambu has a sale going on and I my shopping cart filled a couple of times but I chickened out. Monday I did pull the trigger and yesterday a H2D showed up in my driveway. That was fast! All of the accessories and filament are a couple days out coming from both east and west coast.
That thing is heavy. I've got it up to the front door but had to clear a space for it first. I located a work table on facebook market place
and headed there in the morning. I have a 3 year old new in box and vacuum packed roll of Matchbox PET-G going in a Sunlu S1 filament dryer. Going to be a bitch getting on the table but I'll get it done. Now maybe I'll get my post count up
