    Yeah as with any new gotta have technology, there comes a point where a great weeding out of less than efficient providers happens. And it’s been happening to many 3D companies for a while now.

      Lucky. I had opened most of mine and I don’t think my Ziploc bags held out as much water as I would have hoped.

      It is a sad day, this printer deserves all the solutech. That filament was so good.

    Tons of incremental updates.

    Based on the printer in the picture I think you have one of the answers, lol.

    The other answer is slicers, but if you’re using Bambu’s you’ve also seen that change now.

      Hahaha yeah, my last printer I bought before this one was a prusa mk2 and I don’t mean 2.5 I mean 2.

      So I’ve never had a removable build plate even.
      It feels a whole lot more than incremental.

      I actually havent actually used the bambu slicer yet either. Just been using internal files and the whole app thing to print test pieces.

        If you are using Bamboo slicer, you are pretty much using Prusa slicer since it’s directly taken from that with minor changes. I’ve noticed I’ve been slowly migrating away from Prusa slicer, a fork of Marlin, to Orca slicer - which is a fork of Bamboo. The reason is Prusa slicer is now concentrating on updating for the new Mk4 and XL printers with a nod to the Mini. I’m still quite content my Mk3s+ and don’t need all those new updates for printers I don’t own.

    Damn I didn’t know Solutech went out of business. I like(d) their filament and still have a couple spools left.

      I was deeply upset when I went looking for them and realized there was nothing.

      The QR code literally took me to a scam gambling site and that was my first clue.
