    Time For A New Tablet - What To Buy?

    I'm not an apple fan, as such, but feel that the iPad beats the android offerings... My iPad Pro from 2017 is only suffering now due to how badly I have treated it, and am considering a new screen rather than a new device. That being said, the wife's S8 is a very nice device and the S9 is only...

    Bambu Lab P1S Released

    If I were in the market, I'd get one. I bought the A1 which is a much better price point for me, but any Bambu device has the advantage that you spend a lot of time printing and very little time tinkering! I forget how much resin I wasted with my 1st-gen resin printer, I feel like I was about...

    Value in repairing iPad Pro (A1701) vs new device

    Still really happy with my iPad Pro (A1701, 256gb), apart from 2 things.... Battery life in Hearthstone (which I play a lot) is atrocious, I get 1 maybe 2 games from a full battery (under 1hr). Diagnostic is reporting battery health of 79%, so I expect there's an element of bad battery and poor...

    Bed level issue?

    The bed doesn't need to be "level" to the planet (ie, using a spirit level). It needs to be level to the print head....

    Bambu Lab P1S Released

    That's what is being reported by Bambu, i'm unsure how many they've sold but it's got to be 10's of thousands worldwide? Fingers crossed they'll be offering some reduced-price refurbished models once things are back on track.

    Bambu Lab P1S Released

    You won't be able to buy an A1 till May at best. So if it comes down to "when" you want it, the P1S has the availability at the moment.

    Android app breaking through DND

    It appears the app isn't sending "notifications" but is using the phones "ring" functionality to send the audio alert.... I've made the creator aware, but for now my solution is to disable the ring audio through Tasker except for any contacts I want to get hold of me.... Annoying when things...

    Android app breaking through DND

    Pixel 8, Android 14, App is "Juggluco" I've got an issue with an app whose alerts (not traditional notifications I don't believe, it alerts me when a connected sensor tells it to) break through DND. It never did this till my phone decided to reset all my apps permissions..... DND has...

    How small can a home-gym realistically be?

    I've got the thought that having a treadmill at home will allow me to do more cardio. Recently lost my at-work-free-gym, and now WFH. Having a treadmill would allow running in the evenings with the kids at home and wife at work. Outdoor running at 10pm is less desirable and I'd rather not be...

    Ender 3 Neo - upgrade.. ~£300

    Yeah, it's maybe a non-issue but Bambi have announced a full recall or repair scheme. The upshot to non-owners is that you won't be able to buy an A1 till May (maybe some refurbished ones at that stage though). I'd buy and A1 if it was available now, the bang for buck is excellent.. But since...

    How small can a home-gym realistically be?

    We were hoping to put some gym gear (treadmill/weights/bike trainer, basic stuff, I don't expect them all to be out at the same time) in our conservatory... But have now decided we need storage instead. So i'm looking at our garage... We have a good size garage (full of crap, as per) as well as...

    Ender 3 Neo - upgrade.. ~£300

    I would support a Bambu purchase, but you'd be looking at either the A1 Mini (small build plate being the down side) or P1 (over £500). The regular A1 has a recall which means it wont be available now till May. For me, I've been using my Bambu to print.... I've not had to do any major...

    What's everyone using for model creation?

    My go-to suggestions would be Blender or Fusion360 (I don't have much experience with anything else except maybe sketchup)... There's probably easier tools out there (tinkercad gets mentioned a lot)

    Enabling DHCP reservation. Must I reset clients?

    Should be the case that once set up (which will require every device to connect to the router first) that they will be recognised by MAC address and supplied with their assigned IP address.

    large print not sticking

    I'm always right, except when the wife is involved in which case I'm always wrong.... I've had zero failures since I went down this route, albet on a Bambu A1 (which I feel is more reliable than some older printers). Clean bed thoroughly, ensure room isn't too cold (above 10C seems to be fine)...

    That's the tricky bit, we'll keep going but reaching out to a community such as OCUK may reap an alternative path! TVM!

    Searching for Engineering work experience

    It's appreciated, regardless of the outcome! Just a willingness to receive an email or phone call from the lad himself would be amazing. I'll not broadcast how good we believe he is, but we're happy to support him staying in a hotel for a week anywhere in the country!

    Searching for Engineering work experience

    Just a single week, the school has a defined week (3rd-7th June) which is a little inflexible (understandably).... Lots of work experience out there but not for this week!
