(Because reading SMS messages while driving is apparently bad, whilst reading an essay that comes up on the screen about how it's bad to read SMS messages while driving must apparently be OK).A bit like the sat nag warnings for the same, but it appeases the do-gooders, and its probably called Little Johnnie's Law, as all such shit has to be now.

Well, I think today might be that day! ![]() Having run the ender 3 for almost exactly two years I'm getting the itch to upgrade. Something with a slightly bigger print volume would be handy (a lot of off the shelf stuff seems setup for Bambu' 255mm cubed). I also would like some ease of fettling - ie less faff when stripping a nozzle/print head down, and direct drive would be nice 🤣. How are you getting on with the K2 TB? I don't think I'd want or need the max, unless it's a cheap upgrade. |

There's not a lot of wiggle room for sureWhich begs the question - why do we go to all that trouble and replace the Stat with housing as a matter of course ? ![]() |

Usual issue though, ime, is lazy Stat resulting in engine struggling to get up to temperature, which doesnt help empeegee figures.

its because the removeable part of the thermostat is only half of the sealing valve .the other half is the alumunium housing which can become worn and pitted hence leaky !( this is the usual failure mode anyway - letting water past )
