I got sent an email with a link to their sale. I presume you will get the same as you are an existing customer!

Just had a quick peek. I don't think I've had one from them as yet. The buggers did send me a £10 off coupon after I ordered that Neptune though, I believe. Gits.

Question regarding the Centauri's. How are you chaps finding using the smooth side of the build plate, (side B)? I tend to find there's a tendency for the print to lift at the front, usually the corner nearest the door hinges. Anyone else noting the same? If I use the textured side of the plate, (side A), no problems with lift.

I don't use it as I like the texture. I will, however, have a go tomorrow and let you know!

I haven't used it either, however I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was more prone to lifting from the smooth side.
I'd think it would be alleviated by some spray on 3D printing glue, though?

I'm not a glue person. I'd prefer to find out what needs tweaking & adjust to suit. Glue has always struck me as a hack.

I started using it with ABS on the Anker and have continued using it on the Carbon. TBH it just works and I've not had any lifting so not sure I'd term it a "hack" as such.
You do you, though

Hi @MattF I tried today to have a go but my plate type is greyed out?
If you know how to unlock it, I am free all weekend as the Mrs is away

Any fumes issues using ABS indoors?

Carbon as in Centauri or Bambu?

Yeah - fumes were nasty. My anker was in a flexible enclosure and, of course, the centauri is already enclosed.
But I also opened the window and vacated the room that was printing as it really wasn’t pleasant.

I think it's an option in settings to allow various bed/plate types. I'll have a look to see if I can find which setting it is. Can't recall, offhand.

I'm thinking the Yodel bloke may be disliking me somewhat, after lugging this up seventeen steps. Mug for scale.



On the plus side, the Neptune's arrived.
