11:17, easiest way I was able to prevent this was getting a piece of ptfe tube, push it into the sensor if possible and then have it go to about top center of the spool. It should be long enough that the ptfe tube moves and follows with the filament. I did this ptfe trick on a bambu labs P1S ams system with about 10 cm of ptfe tubing. It is also very possible you just got a bad spool, had this happen with some local company. The spool just came apart after 2 hours of printing.
great review! you got my subscription! i got two pieces of advice, first, you aligned the print objects so they will flex easily along the y-axis, simply turning the arrangement by 90° will result in better prints. and 2, it might work the get better quality with super heavy prints by running the inputshaper with a weight attached to the print bed.
These large bedslingers are great for the price but when you’re trying to do many consistently large prints I don’t know if the downsides vs a Core XY or similar are worth it. The print quality and reliability are just so much more consistent
I'm interested to know why you aligned the parts of the model along the X axis rather than the y axis, maybe you would have improved the print quality if they had been oriented for the y movement ?
How is the high detail settings? My primary use case for a 3d printer is printing ttrpg miniatures (think d&d minis). TH-cam is full of tutorials on how to get near resin quality on a fdm printer, primarily on Bambu lab printers.
It’s pretty much the same process on all printers. It just takes a .2mm nozzle and some time spent filament tuning. However the only reason it recommend the 4 Plus for minis is if you are wanting to maximize parts per plate.
I've had nothing but issues with my plus. More lately, I've had better luck with it, but I don't trust it to print unattended..... I don't plan of getting rid of it, and one day, maybe I'll trust it more... for now though.
i think the downside of 3d printing is the amount of time it takes .. it is the biggest turn off when people realize a print may take hours or days sub$275 is amazing

I tried various orientations. Minimizing movement along the Y axis worked best.

Now I want a 3D printer to print the enterprise, voyager, and maybe deep space nine.

The latest firmware was released in November. Have you updated your printer?
@ElevatedSystems I've been updating with each firmware... though I haven't done any released in November. I will mext time I power it up!
I have the 3 plus with a pi4 running it on klipper it's a work horse the 4s have problems use it with prusa slicer!
Thanks for the vid, CJ!
just bought that one 3 months ago igot the Bambu a1 mini then the ankermake m5c I'm hooked and I've got orders from my work to print stuff
Will linear rails cure the shift issue

That’s a big print.
