This Episodes Questions:
As a frequent listener to your podcast, I am curious as to why you do not discuss PETG and ASA filaments more often. There is no longer a cost premium for PETG and ASA is only marginally more expensive. Both materials have superior physical qualities for use with functional parts, both indoors and outdoors.
I started with a FlashForge Adventurer 4 three years ago and upgraded to a Bambu X1C two years ago. The Bambu X1C profiles for Polymaker PETG and ASA print as easily as any PLA, to the point that I have stopped buying PLA filaments. TPU is only slightly more difficult to print and greatly increases the utility of a 3D printer.
Based on your experience with many different 3D printers and vendors, is there a reason why you avoid using ASA and PETG?

Hi,
I enjoy listening to your podcast!
I have four Bambu Lab printers, each with its own issue as to why the printer is not working.
There are connectors with corresponding pins which constantly fail when having to pull out the pin to clear a clog, change a nozzle, or install a replacement part. I align the pin properly within the connector BUT it doesn't 'catch'. How do I remedy this issue apart from throwing all four printers out of the third floor window of my home?
Yours truly,
A very frustrated BL owner.

I am new to the 3-D printer world and I just put in my pre-order for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon today. I have never done any 3-D printing and have minimal experience with Shapr3d generating 3-D models. What recommendations do you have for me to research/study so I can hit the ground running when my printer should arrive this summer. I am also a new listener so if you have any episodes you can reference for me to focus on that would be helpful. Thank you for keeping this podcast going.

This Episodes Questions:
Hello to a fellow Hoosier and the J's,
I have almost bought a printer for at least 15 years, almost bought a makerbot, almost bought a RepRap, but always got discouraged at their difficulty to use. I put purchasing one on the back burner. In December 2024 I purchased a Bambu P1S. This printer is great and just works. But, it's boring. I need to tinker. I'm just a hobbyist at this point. I can see making and selling stuff down the road. My question is which printer on the market now is in need of more user input to operate? Something more equivalent to driving a manual transmission versus an automatic.
Thanks.

Just found your podcast and I’m binging it from the beginning forward.
I apologize if you’ve tackled this before-
As a very low volume hobbyist, I find myself infrequently printing one or two of a small item I’ve identified a need for.
Here, time, within reason, is no issue. I dont really care if a part takes 2 hours or 6 hours to print. Print quality, however, is an issue. So I’d sacrifice a great deal of speed to get better quality on the first try
Do you have advice for settings that prioritize quality over speed? Thank you!! Gregory
I am looking at a flashforge 5m pro, k1c, or flsun t1 pro as a first printer. All three are very close in cost. I have some cnc experience but no 3d printing experience. I am looking for a fast way to prototype and will eventually want to use nylon and cf materials. I would love a bigger printer but believe it is probably better to stay small for now.
Things I care about.
1. Ease of use. Easily number one.
2. Safety/ filtering, although I know i can add filters.
3. Consistency
4. Versatility.
5. I'm not interested in bambu.
Again, thanks for your time and love the podcast. Appreciate any insight you can give me.
Cheers. Lewis
