Lots of Bamu fanboys in here, and don't get me wrong, those print with minimal hassle and have great customer service, but you are selling your soul, always on internet connection, bambu account required, every print you ever try sent to the cloud.

I recently got a creality K1, refurbished, super cheap, awesome machine, zero tinkering. and creality just gives me root access at the click of a single button so I actually own the hardware.

Before that I had a super cheap no-name bedslinger with no auto-anything, and taking that apart multiple times a week was terrible but also very educational to actually understand the hobby

Don't believe the marketing, there are viable options.

Fascinating update, in playing around trying to fix the problem I accidentally broke my start gcode, all the newlines got mangled turning it essentially into one long line.

of course the print errored because I never set a first layer temp, but it bed leveled a small grid in the middle KAMP worked!

M117

M140 S0

M104 S0

START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] BED_TEMP=[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single]

So something in this start code is making the KAMP mesh not work, I'm going to try not calling START_PRINT and see what happens... in a few hours when this print is done

That painter didn't make the painting, the brush did, he just dunked it into some color and pushed it around. Probably didn't even grind his own pigment...
