    ZIP TIE Tip, grab a pack of brightly colored ties that differ from your normal use ones. Makes identifying and making sure you get them all removed easier.

    This video is perfectly timed for me as I'll be moving my 2.4 as well next month! Though I do wonder, about the frame bending if you used a ratchet strap, wouldn't lifting the printer by the handles mounted up there potentially bend the extrusions as well? I'm using those same handles and it's something I've been thinking about.

    • @MandicReally
      @MandicReally  5 месяцев назад +1

      You know that is a legitimately good question. The machine weighs quite a bit afterall. Granted a ratchet strap can produce more force than the weight of the machine. Still something that would be interesting to try and look at more...

    • @MandicReally
      @MandicReally  5 месяцев назад

      I just packed them up actually. I wrapped the AMSes in bubble wrap and placed them inside of the machine with the bed at the lowest point so the case supports it. Put the toolhead in the back left corner over the poo shoot and zip tied the belts. Then wrapped the entire machine in a bit of bubble wrap and a moving blanket. Taped the glass onto the machine body. Then put it into a cardboard box with spools of filament around it on all sides. X1 & P1 both got their own boxes.
      I considered building crates but I've crated 4 printers & 1 laser cutter, I'm over it, ha.

    Z I can’t wait to see how you survive in Portland. Ha ha. When I moved from Baltimore to Seattle, it was like being on a different planet. And then my trips down to Portland. It was like being on another planet. You seem like you’re pretty chill dude so you don’t have that East Coast edge so you’ll probably do all right, but hang on my man. You’re about to see some wild shit. Oh, And say goodbye to seasons. It’s gloomier than the darkest East Coast snowstorm eight months of the year. Spring and fall will give you mixed results and then you’ll have like one really good month of beautiful perfect weather at the end of summer. Also, you’ll never see fall and it’s really weird to never see through the trees and winter and it’s just always lush and green. It screws with your head. You’ll never see a hot summer day and you’ll never see a blizzard :)
    I’m in San Francisco now. I don’t miss the Northwest at all. It was just way too dark and depressing and wet.
    Oh, and your expenses are going to double :-) but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re making decent money

    • @MandicReally
      @MandicReally  5 месяцев назад

      Oh I may not come off as having the “East Coast Edge” but I very much do. 😬 My partner said “you are gonna hatttte how slow everything is.” But I rarely leave the house / studio these days. I’m looking forward to not being 94 degrees and sunny. It’s 64 in Portland right now. I’m sure it will be a culture shock, but I’m ready!

      Some news outlets would like folks to think that, but no crime stats I can find come even close to saying that. Portland is below Philly on every single list & Philly is not a scary place imo. My dad is constantly telling me how scary Philadelphia is from his lounge chair in North Carolina. 🤷🏻🤷🏻 Also we are moving to a suburb of Portland that is SIGNIFICANTLY safer than most cities in the country.

      Dude, you watch too much Fox News. It’s totally different types of crime. And it’s not that bad. In Portland, it’s going to be car break-ins and little things like that that are an annoyance not like Philly where it’s home invasions and murders, etc.
      Philly had over 400 murders last year, Portland under 30. And if you adjust it for population, it’s still 1/4.
