  • The challenge! How many 19 minute benchies can we 3D print on our Bambu Lab A1 while running completely on a backup power supply? Thank you to Goldenmate for sending us over your 1000VA / 800 watt UPS!

      Hi some ideas about your off grid system.
      1) Showcase how you use 3D printing to create practical tools, parts, or equipment (if you have any) that help in your off-grid lifestyle.
      2) How you power your 3D printer off-grid (solar, wind, etc.) and discuss energy-efficient ways to 3D print when resources are limited
      3) 3D Printing for Off-Grid DIY Projects in the near future (?)
      4) Share the challenges of 3D printing off-grid, such as limited power, and how you overcome them. This could include power storage, creative ways to regulate printer usage, or designing prints that are efficient for your energy setup.
      5) Ask usfor ideas on what off-grid solutions they’d like to see made with 3D printing, and then showcase those builds on your channel

      Thats the tough part… we aren’t limited on power, we have far more power than a regular home - the whole ranch is powered, but 3D printing isn’t really a part of it.
      I’ll try to think of a good story that doesn’t seem forced.

    The A1 has a great power cut off feature so long as your print is still adhered to the bed. I had a power outage of 8 hours printing Gold Silk on my A1 and as soon as the power came back on it asked me to resume print and it finished flawlessly.

    I wanted to love these things. Bought two of them after seeing your video because I’m so tired of sealed lead acid batteries and the short lifespan. But both my golden mate ups back ups were bad. Both smelled terrible and one started acting like it wasn’t plugged into the wall randomly but it was. The other the internal fan went bad causing overheating. Sucks because they have a great idea here. Finally using a good battery!! But they need some work!

    • @LoyalMoses
      @LoyalMoses  4 місяці тому

      Wo! Two bad ones?!? I don’t think mine was cherry picked, I believe it came regular Amazon shipping.
      Did they refund or get you taken care of?!

    • @SVCprints
      @SVCprints 4 місяці тому

      Technically one still worked, just needed a fan. But I just didn’t trust it after that and decided to wait for a V2! Luckily they did give me a full refund and offered to send me another with no charge. So maybe this one will be better! I don’t believe they would cherry pick yours. I just think I was unlucky there. Or maybe even shipping damage who knows. I just have a hard time trusting after errors like that but them giving me my money back and sending another makes me feel better for sure!

    The UPS I use for my home server has a USB plug so the server can monitor the UPS status and do an automatic proper shutdown if the UPS is on battery for 3 minutes.

    Thank you for this. I was searching for some "printing on battery backup" videos within the past two months for possible printing at a craft fair, and could only find one guy with a video on it. I bought an A1 mini in hopes that I could make this work. Goldenmate doesn't have larger than 800watt 1000va UPSs. Do you have any others you could recommend that would be larger but still luggable?
