Looks like wet filament to me. Those pock marks are what happens when the moisture immediately evaporates to steam and bursts when it hits the nozzle.

Don’t they already charge you for Fantasia in final fantasy 14 beyond the one free that you get?

In my experience, transcoding with subtitles becomes an issue when the subtitles are burned in to the video. I often get external subtitles from https://www.opensubtitles.org/ and then stick the downloaded SRT file in the same folder as the movie. Make sure it has the exact same file name as the movie so jellyfin will associate the two together. Once I do that, it does not transcode at least for subtitle reasons.

My favorite show of all time as well, OP, if you see this, do yourself a favor and watch the entire show without the laugh track.

From NTI’s article:

“In January 2025, rumors surfaced that remixes of 3DBenchy were being removed from Printables due to the enforcement of the original license. However, NTI did not initiate this action. Prusa Research, the company behind Printables, later confirmed that a third-party report - not NTI - prompted the enforcement. NTI clarified it had not sought to remove downloads or derivatives of the model and had taken no legal action in this regard.”

Hiyahhh

It’s certainly possible. They are pretty explicit on it though, at least.

"For some products, we do not release the full PCB manufacturing layouts, as we do not want to support manufacturing of untested clone boards. "

7.4 “Your Bambu Lab product will automatically search for and download new update packages to provide you with timely update services… Due to the importance of these updates, your product may block new print job (sic) before the updates is installed”

wow.

I’m honestly not sure if they are or not, but neither are necessary. You can go straight to the IP address of your printer and manage it from the lan.

Interesting, my Mk4 has wired ethernet

If you have time to be a little bit patient, they just announced their new core XY design printer due out in the next few months.

Their bambu filament has an RFID tag in it, presumably so you don’t have to tell the printer what kind of filament is loaded. I would bet big $$ that is going to be used to lock out third party filament at some point. Calling it here and now.

Prusa!

Good to know, that’s another one that won’t ever make the recommendation list then

Hey thanks for the advice, and you were right. regardless my my clumsiness, today’s announcement ensures i am never going to get a Bambu. https://blog.bambulab.com/firmware-update-introducing-new-authorization-control-system-2/

If you choose to upgrade to the firmware version with Authorization Features, you must download and install Bambu Connect (a printer control software) from the official website. After installation, you can export sliced .3mf files from OrcaSlicer and open them with Bambu Connect. This software allows you to send the files to your printer and monitor print progress.

It feels like an effort to start locking out third party tools (like any slicer other than Bambu Studio), but I’m sure it’s not going to stop there. For now, they’re making you slice it, export the 3mf project, import that to Bambu studio, then send it to the printer, which is likely to piss off a lot of people.

Yeah I confirmed it when I went back and looked at it again. It ripped about 70% of one of the pads off, which isn’t great, but I tried to flow enough solder to connect to it. Unfortunately it still giving me the same error, does anyone know if there is a schematic for the buddy board available?

Thanks, i will probably end up doing this, with the help of a pro. I do find it interesting that newer revisions / replacements of the xbuddy board no longer have a series of flimsy wires- they include an actually connector on the board. compare these two screenshots of my board and the official replacement kit. It’s also possible the entire white part just ripped off my board somehow and stuck to the wire.
