i posted it on the diy thread but have made a printer workbench, just waiting on some ply to arrive tomorrow so i can put the top and shelves on. x1c is going on a rubber tile on top left and theres space under on the left to resurrect my ender s1 pro as it's such a sunken cost at this point it only makes sense to use it as a backup. makes me sick when i think with all the upgrades it cost me more than a p1s with ams. made it 110cm high so i could fit three shelves just tall enough for filament boxes underneath and will use it as a permanent standing desk area for print related stuff. just got two more tiles and the wall mountings to print to cover the other wall with multiboard too.
need to figure out where all my resin printing stuff is gonna go still too. need to punch a hole for ventilation for that so it's a longer term plan for now.

it may not be true anymore but at one point bambu filament would arrive in esun and sunlu shipping boxes if you bought enough of it.
the new bambu cryo grip plate i just got is giving me excellent adhesion and my biqu glacier plate arrived yesterday but I wont be testing it out for a bit yet as i'm ploughing through printing more multiboard stuff and want to stick with what works.

the antenna sockets in my mums block of flats had been disconnected from any kind of aerial a long time ago apparently when i asked the workman about it because she couldn't tune any of the channels when they swapped the broadcast signals around a few years ago in her area. she just makes do with what channels it can find now.
our house has no antenna as there was a rusted sky dish up when we moved in that we binned only to find out we can't get reception on an indoor antenna because apparently most modern windows have a film coating on them these days that block the signal. we just stream and download everything instead.

cobbled together a workbench for my 3d printing area out of leftover studs. thought i might have enough scrap ply to make the top but alas no. had almost exactly the right amount of wood though and ended up with 1 screw left from a box of 100.
will have to wait til i have £80 worth of stuff i need to order from wickes so i dont waste £7 on postage. i don't drive at all but sometimes having a van would be really fucking useful (more expensive than £7 to run though)

nice. they're all good machines but i don't think you'll be disappointed with your choice.

ams is definitely worth it if you can afford it.
multi colour printing is very fun, but being able to store multiple filaments at once and swap them based on the print your sending is even better, having it automatically switch to a new spool of the same filament when one runs out is the best. eliminates all guesswork on how much is left on a spool.
a1 vs p1s i'm not sure as i only have the x1c.
don't need to bother with the bambu filament, it's mostly rebadged. the printers will print well with pretty much anything you throw at them.

getting my summerhouse powered and networked up.
if i have a HA instance running on a machine under my stairs indoors whats the easiest way to add a zigbee hub out in the summerhouse that can talk to it so i can put stuff like my smart hygrometer out there? all running on same network.
note i have a conbee 2 usb hub plugged into the back of my HA machine which i want to retain use of for indoor devices.

i thought you meant this. did think it was a bold choice.

could notch the shelves on each corner to give it clearance.
lots of faff and a ton of sawdust everywhere later shelves are done. not the tidiest build but it'll do.
get to unpack the 4 moving boxes of filament i've had getting in my way now and make enough space to move one step further in the eternal sliding puzzle that is organising my workshop.
