Been a minute since I updated this thread, there have been some changes and will be more. As you may or may not know, I bought myself a Christmas present last year.  I got a P1S/AMS combo during Bambu Labs end of year sale.  The Package Handling Gorillas managed to bust the door during shopping, but Bambu replaced it so no problems.  Gotta tell ya, I am REALLY liking this printer a lot.  Even in the "Standard speed" print mode it's almost 4 times faster than my D6 was, with a LOT higher quality prints - even with the 0.2mm layers I normally use. 

The house is gettin' some love this year too, an attached garage and much more.  An upgraded electrical feed for the house, going from a 60A feed to 100A.  The unusable 2nd floor widow's walk is now a 2nd floor sun-room.  The 2nd floor is getting new windows.  And the crappy old stucco on the 2nd floor is being stripped off, insulation added, and it is being resided to match the garages.

I WILL be getting back to the RT7R, but it will be a complete reprint using the P1S this time - and using PETG instead of PLA.  The P1S has a larger print volume than the D6.  So I might be able to print the dump bed at an angle for higher strength. and in 2 parts instead of 3.  The same applies for the cab.  I may be able to print that at an angle and reduce the number of parts.

Incredibly handy being able to disengage and reengage accessories that are belted up to the engine via a transmission like this.

Hi Folks,
 had an interesting Monday digging a hole looking for a potential leaking water pipe, and couldn't even find the pipe, let alone find a leak! Luckily the rest of the week was filled with far more pleasant workshop jobs, and Friday was a day with Andy fixing antiques! He brought his tethered race car to show me, but it's not for sale!!

Hi Folks,
A short week but a long video! Only two days in the Workshop, a long day of antique repairs with camera shy Andy, an analysis of what went wrong whilst trying to concentrate in 27 degree heat in the workshop, and fitting a rebuild kit to my Rothenburger blowlamp which TBH has never lit reliably since being new, all will be revealed!
