OK. I misunderstood.  I can't see that either, so it's presumably a question for Eric.

Yeah, that's visible for me as well, but 'insert attachment' - well not actually a button - doesn't show up. What I mean is shown in the pic from another SMF forum:

Material is clamped to the stainless rail that surounds the work area.

I can see it.  I checked, I can also see it on a new topic.

Two more big boxes have just arrived but they are staying as is until the EDM is fully sorted.

So I've bought a Bambu Labs P1S Combo - half of which arrived this morning

I know nothing about the Cetus (except it's a bed-slinger, IIRC, not a core-XY), so the Bambu is going to prove to be a world apart from it. In a good way.

IIRC, the "Combo" is shipped with the AMS unit inside the printer, so it's probably all arrived, not just half of it...

I struggled to justify the price of a Bambu (plus they'd just recently announced that they were going closed-shop with their software, and that if you wanted to use all the features of the printer you had to use their online services), so I went for a Qidi Plus 4 instead. Superb machine, and now I have their equivalent of an AMS, I can do most things a Bambu can do - also slightly bigger, although the Qidi experience isn't as polished as the Bambu one...



It replaced an Ender 3, and it's just so much better I actually threw the Ender away!

My spark eroder is of the falling electrode style, so the best I could do would be to etch your initials into the file...

QQ Andrew - how is the stock material held in your wire eroder? Does it rest on a mesh, a bit like a plasma cutter, or is it clamped at the edges, or something else?  Reason I ask; I was wondering if it would be able to cut really small parts (say 70mm long, 4mm wide, 1mm thick stainless steel)?

I was about to post a new topic, but couldn't attach images to it. I've tried it with Waterfox and Firefox, same result with both.

I wonder is it on my end, or has something changed, like forum software update or something like that?

This is getting surreal Steve !

I bet that you didn?t know that Wormwood Scrubs was emptied of convicts during WW2 and was used as a base for MI5 for Military Intelligence purposes.

How about cutting a file into three layers and assembling a birthday cake out of them?
