Guess I'm going to have to upgrade, anyone know if I'm better off with a P5 Pentium or a Cyrex 6x86?

For me steam deck has killed any notion of getting a gaming laptop. Decent spec laptop (7yr old though) which I rarely need to take anywhere, gaming desktop 5700/3070 and steam deck if I want to game. Though I'm not much into multiplayer. Tbh even at home I find myself on the deck more than the desktop for gaming these days.

Merge/test/fix on a separate branch and then merge this into main when the freeze lifts?

Come pre installed. As much as it pains me, LTT guy is probably right to a degree as well. Shit needs to work without tinkering. Personally I don't mind some tinkering - enjoy it even. But the average Joanne does not.

Well it's fucked now, I thought we all agreed not to say it and see if it made any difference

First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.

Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:

Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.

Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.

I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.

It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.

I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.

Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.

I've just taken a quick look, I've not checked off the BOM yet, but motors, boards, PTFE tube and a collection of parts have arrived. There's a bit of a description/warning sheet and a link to a Google drive with it too. Will check out some more over the next couple of days.

I've seen the BMCU mentioned a few times as an alternative for the Bambu Lab AMS, given the price I'd like to give it a go with my P1S but, I've seen comments elsewhere that it should work, but YouTube is surprisingly light on BMCU content and I was wondering if anyone in the community has one before I take the plunge?

Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

Not a USer, what I find utterly bonkers is seeing clips of them discussing the dark Brandon conspiracy on fox news, like it's real and relevant political discourse. Wtaf is wrong with that portion of you population.

I'm genuinely curious if someone's published a BoM cost breakdown, I'm wondering if there's a couple of super high tickets items in the like the scroll wheel and custom PCB cost.

Rental has its place, there have been plenty of occasions in my life where rental suited me better than ownership. Regulation and enforcement of said regulations would do a lot to protect people in this situation.

For $6 Million a year, fuck yeah I'd consider it myself. You don't even look bad if you fuck it up because the world's richest fuckwit outshines every possible fuck up every step of the way.
