Bambu Lab P1S: How to also make sure that the Orca slicer does not send data

Those who have already read the 1. article on the Bambu Lab P1S by me know that I have limited faith in the printer’s privacy policy. As good as the whole system is otherwise (and you have to hand it to the printer: It’s pretty good in terms of print quality, etc.), the privacy issues with the system are serious. In the meantime, however, I’ve actually blocked everything, so there shouldn’t really be any more privacy leaks. But one ...

Bambu Lab P1S: Really nice finish

What you really have to hand it to the P1S is the finish on a straight plane. While this is still quite “uneven“ and fibrous on the Replicator 2, it is very smooth on the P1S. P1S already very fine. You see virtually no webs and a very clean finish even with a relatively small Elements. And here you can see a Time-Labs from this print, which, by the way, is automatically recorded by the internally installed camera and stored on the MicroSD ...

The Bambu Lab P1S is one of the printers that has popped up the most in 3d printing community news in recent weeks and months. The printer is characterized by some features that are typically not found in this price range (currently 749 Euros, whereas the combo with AMS and some other spare parts and extensions is more like 1,100 Euros). Some, interesting features are: Automatic plate alignment Sealed printing chamber and heatable printing ...

3d Pressure from keyboard supports: The one that keeps breaking or getting lost...

A tiny part of half a cent, which destroys the whole feeling as soon as it breaks, but of course only accounts for a fraction of the actual device. And, of course, the gizmos have to be slightly different for virtually all keyboards. But this is where a 3d printer helps tremendously: I’ve now printed several different ...

Sailfish OS: Situations

The Situations app is a very helpful companion for SFOS users. It lets the user respond to different situations with automatic actions. You leave the house? Maybe you want to switch on mobile data instead of WLAN? One is in a meeting? Now all indications should be switched to mute? Situations can do it for you. How this basically works can be seen in this video:

Sailfish OS: Shake Torch

An app that sounds really good then showed me after a few days that it also has its downsides. It’s about Shake Torch. This is a Sailfish OS app that turns on the camera light when you shake the phone. This works not bad at all (you can see it well in this video here): Only... it works "always". So, for example, even if you are in a hurry and have the phone in your pocket, or you walk with the smartphone in hand and PureMaps / the navigator ...
