Be aware, bambu looks to be doing a funky firmware update and locking out 3rd party access with a new unnecessary app. Might be the end of it being a good option if they don’t backtrack
The tinfoil hat part of me thinks that Bambu wants all the models passed through their servers so they can train AI with them. So this is just a method of reducing bypass.
I don’t think it matters for those of us who don’t care - the PC app (I don’t put apps on my phone except under extreme duress) will still push models.
It’s probably something like that. Would be nice if they would stick with the open nature of the 3dp community at large. Not being able to use third party slicers or Lennox with bambu printers is going to make easily shared models and designs more fiddly and annoying and that just seems like a step backwards
I’m with you completely, but Bambu was never open source We knew that when we bought them but they were just so absurdly ahead of anything else out there for the pricepoint.
I think the upgrade kit for my Prusa MK3S was ~the same price as my Bambu
Attached please find the STEP files for the new Hoyt V2 Pro puck housing. It took longer than I thought to work it up because I didn’t have the model of the exact guts but fortunately the PCB wasn’t significantly different. But there were some minor gotchas that caused me to have to make quite a few revisions before I finally got it right.
It’s definitely larger than the V1 but not obnoxiously so.
Please give it a print and let me know if you have any issues. Mine was printed on a Bambu using the green PLA that came with the printer. Be sure to put tree supports on the charge port opening.
On my list is to clean up the gaping charge port hole, but that might not happen for a while.
The good news, @hoytskate correct me if I’m wrong, is that the Puck V2 is compatible with the receiver V1. However, this is based on a quick test in my living room so YMMV. Don’t hurt yourself.
You are correct, @DougM The Puck 2.0 remote is compatible with the V1 receiver as well as its own Puck 2.0 receiver. The difference is that the new receiver has an additional port to program the T button for turning on and off an accessory.
Additionally, the compatibility works vice versa—you can connect the Puck 1.0 to the 2.0 receiver as well as its own 1.0 receiver!
This is incredibly good news, I had a panic attack for a second thinking I’d have to assign specific remotes to specific boards rather than just throwing everything in the car and using whatever happened to be charged up
Yep just know that if you use a puck 1 with a puck 2.0 receiver that doesn’t mean the t button works with it now and that’s only if you happen to use the t button as a on off switch!
Have you tried any of the OG puck cases with the puck 2? some may work. I tried to add a section for compatibility between puck 1 and puck 2 to the cases so people can know what will and wont work
