Actually, I think you're mistaking ABS resin for TPU. ABS cannot be ran in the A1 and it's toxic so it needs the enclosure and exhausted. ABS is awesome but I think it's a bit much for the home printer to get into on the hobbyist level. TPU is no more dangerous than PLA or PETG and can be used in the A1.


Yeah I think Zen has TPU and ABS mixed up. It happens to me all the time lol. The scented filament is the only one I close up the window and let it smell up the joint. It smells so good when it's printing! So good in fact IDC if it's toxic!

This is his toy. I get to use it but he does all the maintenance and changes. So I’ve never looked past Makerworld for what’s doable.

Until a few minutes ago I didn’t know one way or the other if it could use TPU or if it was toxic, I just took my sons word for it. I was more interested in if the A1 could use TPU as he was told it couldn’t but I suspected it could. That’s why I asked when you noted you used it as I know you have/had more than one printer and you might use TPU on another not the A1.

But now that I’ve looked into it it seems he’s right. It is toxic because of the temperatures used. Not as bad as ABS but up there.





To print other game pieces and figures he wants a resin printer. But that one’s nasty and needs an enclosed and venting iirc. Maybe in the garage but not in the house.

Dude if' you're scared of TPU by all means don't use it.
What you need in ventilation is the same as other filaments. If you're unsure or scared, use an air quality meter near your printer to know exactly what's going on for all filaments when your printer is running.
You can have the same type of filament but one be much more toxic than the other. This is part of why I don't buy generic filaments and use authentic Bambu lab. You can often smell the difference before it even warms up.
The room where my printer is located was chosen for it's ventilation so my printer literally exhausts to the outdoors and operates in semi open fresh air. When I run scented I want to close it up because it smells so good but I don't.
It's not just for TPU but all filaments are toxic to an extent. If you sit there and huff the thing while it prints I'm sure it will be a problem but common sense like not using the printer where people are hanging out is the best idea no matter what filament you have loaded in the printer. If your printer isn't already in a ventilated space it should be.
Some people set up a printer like a grow tent and run the exhaust to a window if they have to use the printer where they sleep and live.

Great work man!
I have fond memories of a White Lotus from Bodhi a long time ago. I think it was the strain that got him on the radar of everybody.

I just want a few degrees drop so I can go out and make hash and rosin. Too hot out there and the ice will melt too fast and just be miserable. If it could just get below 90 I'd be fine.

They still need to give me another 63 for a merch purchase this month. Got those sweet Hey Dude NASCAR shoes so I gotta send them a screenshot of the purchase since it wasn't automatic this month. Those shoes are comfy AF too!

I set fantasy every Tuesday right after I do the trivia so I don't forget it.
I didn't get credit for two trivias but that's only 26 points. The Chase game more than makes up for that but now if I don't see the points after 15 minutes after doing trivia I get a screenshot just in case I need to claim those points.
You'll get the 125 for your Bday too so that's coming.
I'm not sure about the fast frames but I'm happy I've guessed right and got 20 each time! I missed that second week but got 20 every other time from that. That's the one I know will get me over 15K when it comes close at the end.
I can taste that garage now. I hear it's for Saturday and Sunday and Staurday is actually the best day because everybody is in there and the drivers have more time to interact.

Yeah I think Zen has TPU and ABS mixed up. It happens to me all the time lol.

IDK anything about the tech in the cars man. I get a little of that info but TBH it's at the end of the day when I'm winding down and tired AF, scrolling with a glaze over my eyes. I have over 40 episodes of Harvick's show I still haven't watched. Still need to watch Rising too. I have racing homework I'm so overdue on lol.
Finally get a break here this weekend to catch up on everything. Just getting pulled in 4 different directions and seems like shitty things are coming out of the woodwork almost daily these past few weeks. I fix one and another pops up.

I wonder who will become the Hocevar rivalry of the week this week? I'm betting it's Preece.
The Larson and Hamlin thing is coming back into focus finally here at the end.
I feel like Briscoe is fading and anybody not inside the top 5 right now is pretty much out of it. Good season though so hope he can finish strong

All my seeds are up and planted!
I had terrible germ rates on Trance Plant and SSDD. I thought it might be me but other breeder gear came up strong so IDK...maybe those seeds are old or something.
The cream rises to the top and here, twice now in this compete for my business test, Anthos gear has shined. So I think it's time I start giving them more and more attention and moved them to the front of the line.

are you on any time limit with you extractions at all? or are you all froze up and on your own schedule whenever the weather co-ops?

man i forgot all about that bday points bonus already!! i just had to look in Bob Bobby's profile and see when his bday was!! hahaha i put my legit date in there.. turns out i have my legit phone number and address in the too!!! haha go bob bobby!! hahaha i'm so far off grid on the internet it really doesn't matter.. search my real name or nickname and i don't think you'll find very much..

i was really wondering the exact same thing about the hurricane!! who's the next victim?!?! nobody even mentions the 6 anymore!! that was headlines for two weeks straight and now Kes is out and Blaney is in!!!!
i missed that whole Gibbs thing with the water bottle that he got spanked for. a water bottle bottle really?!?!? c'mon pussies! i'm kinda shocked the way Gibbs has handled himself. i really thought he was gonna be different. i think him being around Briscoe and Bell has helped him be a better man.


Anthos seems to have a nice selection at great lakes... i like how every pack is the same price, no shenanigans!!!
did you buy from there or did you go direct to Anthos? they're east coast yankee near me correct? vermont or something??

I've been meaning to build an enclosure around my printer. i really wanted to just buy one but the ones for my model are way bigger than i can put there and would have to move the printer. still thinking about, i have another room it would work good in but then i would have to make room for the spool shelf as well.. i wouldn't want them separate.. so for the sake of not moving the rack and shelf i went and bought sheet plastic to make an enclosure. still sits new in the box!! i'll most likely cut it with my bandsaw.. i have a brand new blade for it so it should cut perfect, thats still new in the box yet too!! hahaha

but i would really like to get that done before the new year. january hits and it's so cold in that room and the printer has to work so much harder. thats something i'm sure you never ever have to deal with!! hahaha


that 34 car is the best lookin one out there this weekend!!! i kinda dig the 6 and the 7 wraps this week as well...

The cannatrol machine arrived today and I have a free Saturday morning and afternoon so I'm kinda so antsy to do something tomorrow!
IDC what the weather is like. I'll get up early and have at it!

There was a kitty litter box already in the space where I set up my printer so good venting came built in
I read a thing once about 3D printers putting off lots of CO2 so I thought about sticking it in my grow room but turned out the CO2 was next to nothing.
The air quality index gadget I had read bad on and next to the build plate but nothing a few feet away. Kinda feel like a person needs to be locked in a small closet with a printer to get sick from fumes but some filaments are sporty. I have some foaming filament I'll only use if I can have all doors and windows open during the print.
Too cold actually can be an issue if the window is open and cold wind is blowing in at the printer but most of the time a fan near the printer is blowing air out the window.

Yeah there's the Gibbs thing but also no fine for Blaney but the excuse for fining Stenhouse back for the KFB fight was because he stewed on it? WTF was Blaney doing then? The odd double standards are so lame. Then that weird deal where Heim wont be eligible for ROY but the same things keeping him out were fine for Gibbs?

RFK and FRM have been strong in the wrap game this year! I loved the Koolaid man car last week and one of these day I'm gonna get a #6 Build Submarines.Com sticker.

Yeah they want a rival for Hocevar so bad they don't realize he already does and it's the whole freakin' field!
He tangled with a Penske/Ford golden boy though so IDK. Preece is in the chase but Zane Smith might volunteer to wreck him. He's on the Ford shitlist fo sho!

Yeah just the one short track left and a super speedway but the rest are 1.5s. Kinda fitting I suppose since that is the best track for the gen 7 car so they say. Multi lane short track has a say there.

Bubble Bag Dude.... meet Cannatrol
Cannatrol.... meet Bubble Bag Dude
Let's party!





See ya in 4 days!!




This was a 6 strain live resin haul over a year in the making.
The Supafreak I added in has been on ice since last Summer and the freshest addition is Romulan and a strawberry haze. Other strains include Pineapple Express, Montana Silvertip, and Bac Tao.
The aroma inside the bag bucket was something sent from the ganja gods. It was holy medicinal grade AF in there. Hash so rich I wanted to lick the bags like cake batter.

I combined 120 and 160 mic but kept 25 mic separate and gonna see what happens with live resin hash in a curing machine

 

[steamroller]

I knew it wouldn't take long for you to put the cannatrol to work~!

 

[Bandit420]

I like the fit in my drying tent!




It takes the space of two hanging racks but I can fit a lot more weed in there than I can those two racks.
There's still 4 more open racks for hang drying if I need or want and still space for the herb now dryer.
I also do live freezing at harvest so between this space and 4 large cvaults for flash freezing I doubt I'll run out of space for harvesting.

My room is warm so I'll test every bit of that max room temp 95 thing. Maybe not that warm but my room is 88-90 most of the year.
My current curing box, an electric cooler, will drop down to freezing temps for long term and seed storage so I'm hoping dry and cure in this machine then long term store in deep freeze.

 

[Stoneyluv]

wow is that gonna be a long four days!!! hehe can't wait to hear how it turns out!!!!

extra streak bonus on the trucks today!!! .. and one tomorrow yet!!! ahhh yeah!!!

hope they can finish the truck race,,, not sure if they have lights at kansas.. quals rained out again.. it's raining here too.. windy AF too.

wvu game about to come on fs1.. country roads!!!!!! tomorrow the raiders play the national game, everybody gets to see em!!!!! just win baby!!!!!

Almost a daily jackpot of points this weekend!
Powerball was loose for a lot of people last week so we might have another 49 or 69 coming off that. Somebody finally got the big 25K points off it.

Cup and Oriliey both have a 30 streak coming and then there's 4 perfect season bonuses for all 3 series and fantasy so that's 2600 in bonus points coming soon to us. Just gotta hit our marks, take care of our tires and fuel, we'll be at the finish line for the win!

I'm guessing things may go a little faster not having the cure machine loaded full and being a warm room.
It says add water to the sponge after 24 hours but I'll check tonight and maybe add it then.

I haven't gone thru the DIY cannatrol thread or looked to deep into what you built in your box but there really isn't much to it.
No compressor so no major heat output is nice.
All I can really tell is that it has excellent control to balance the warmth with humidity to not get too cold and too dry or too warm and too dry. Like cold is great but if it's too dry it kill terps so I think it can moisturize the cold and not do that.
The mechanics are very basic and not much to it so I think it's money maker is it's control panel electronics. I guess the heat is peltier?
The small squirrel cage fan inside is just a $10 part off ebay and the air channel could be 3D printed. Not sure what else there is too it but doesn't seem like much

Our win was ugly but it's a win and I'm happy!
Road games in the SEC are a sumbitch from Hell man but really it's just another Fall Saturday in the South Brother!

[Bandit420]

Well I'm impressed!
I was skeptical but now I'm not



Usually after harvest and to dry I need to cool the whole room down with an AC to get 70 degrees and 55% RH. It takes about 550 watts to do it as well and it stops the grow room production until the crop dries and the room can be warmed back up to grow again.
Now, with this micro climate the room can keep on growing while this thing does drying duties and since it's door is solid, no worries about the grow lights being on. If I got the old model with glass door I was planning on blacking it out with a wrap or something since it would be in the same room as my garden.

I wasn't sure if it could get cool enough in a warm room but it damn sure does! 68 in 90 degree room is good enough for the ladies I run with!

 

[steamroller]

I too was shocked that my unit cooled down properly in my space also.
All the instructions said the room temp mattered, but mine has been in 90f also and done exactly what it was meant to do.
When I first read what the directions said I really figured it was not going to work where I put it and I would have to bring it into a controlled space.
Glad yours is working out also.

 

[Bandit420]

Anthos seems to have a nice selection at great lakes... i like how every pack is the same price, no shenanigans!!!
did you buy from there or did you go direct to Anthos? they're east coast yankee near me correct? vermont or something??

Sorry I forgot to reply to this part...
Yeah he's in Vermont and I've ordered both direct and from GLG.
My next grow will be almost all Anthos stuff because it's going to be a charas grow and I tapped him for all of his chara stuff and more. I believe these chara strains are haze hybrids with all the glory of good haze but a faster flowering and finish time.
You get more freebies going direct but there's stuff he has direct not at GLG and visa versa.
I dropped Mexican Beach Weed because it's description was spooky close to ARC other than name and source.

What's stood out so far is really good looking healthy seeds and a 100%, speedy germ rate.
Consistency is the big deal because seeds pop together and grow together at the same solid growth rate. Lots of vigor out of the gate so with that happening and other seeds popping slow or not at all, inconsistent, pig tails while being set vertical, the Anthos seeds start getting more and more attention by not doing any of that. Of everything the past two multi breeder/source drops, Anthos has been the only 100%.

I too was shocked that my unit cooled down properly in my space also.

Much happier and more impressed with it then I ever thought I'd be.
Working as advertised is nice in 2026 because that's rare, and a bonus is it's weight and size.
Being light as it is I have it up on my table so the bottom shelf is waist high standing next to it. My back is happy because I was thinking it would need to sit on the floor.
If I could add or change anything I would add the ability to do a vacuum cycle so periodically thru the different cycles you could pull a vacuum on it for a day or two then go back to the process just to throw in a zero oxygen option for custom processes.

As-is though, what I'm seeing is about as perfect as it gets when it comes to drying water hash. I know they made these things for flowers but I had a feeling it could help me a ton with hash too...




I think I'll cut the dry at two days so tomorrow I'll take it out and press and fold it.
Will make balls or cannolis then put them back in the machine on the cure setting.
The little bits that fall off have been sacrificing themselves as samples as I test the process. 2 rice size bits have me tore up and all kinds of red eyed

 

[Bandit420]

Once upon a time I had goals of making hash coins.
I'm beginning to revisit those goals and put my own stamp so to speak on my extracts.




Dalecure and mini me in their permanent home inside the dry tent





Got some baby action going on....Hudson's Banana Moonshine and Anthos Mexican Beach Weed has joined the party

 

[Bandit420]

Pressing with body heat to make a temple ball then going smashburger on it with a cold coin press.






Early returns off preflower calyxs. You know that one big fat calyx that forms right below where the cola begins to grow? These seeds are from those calyx and I will keep them separate from regular flower seeds. I think there's fewer than 10 per plant and that's being generous.

 

[Stoneyluv]

i haven't used the piecemaker in a long time!! that looks so tasty!!!!!!

dalecure... i almost missed that one.

i liked kenny wallace's take on the Hurricane,, made me think of it after seeing your decal!!!

.

what makes those seeds better at that section?

looks like you got motown lockdown locked down!!! look how dark those seeds are!!!

Of all the ways people have tried to compare him to Dale Sr, moving Blaney was it for me. I've watched enough old races and docs to know exactly what KW is talking about haha! Sometimes it didn't work and he'd look the fool too wrecking himself or getting moved further back, just like Hocevar sometimes, but those times are often forgotten in the legend.
I just had to my #3 magnet on there since murdered out came standard. Not gonna sticker bomb it....yet...so for know while it's on probation it's magnets only.

I wish I knew where my Piecemaker was at! I have the inlay but can't find the press so I use my rosin prepress mold. It might be in my BHO box which is pretty much a time capsule of extraction stuff.

Here's one of those seeds I'm talking about on a Poison I need to pluck and isolate




IDK if there's anything special about them. I like to observe all the things these plants do and that calyx seems to have a purpose unique from the rest of the flower. I have an opportunity to isolate those seeds and know more about them so I'm doing it.
That calyx is the first to show pistils and determine sex so it's also the oldest. Left alone, it would be first to drop so seems it's the one the plant devotes prime energy to while the thousands of other seeds are insurance.
It probably gets pollinated first with the freshest male pollen and is often where a hermie trait will first appear.
Seems to also be an indicator of ripeness for the whole plant.

I want to know if it carries more stability then other seeds...a truer rep of parents and genetics...and what's the male to female ratio on them.


There's haymaker storms rolling thru this week so I was debating leave my mamas out in it or cover them with a tent.
I opted to leave them in the rain to wash them down and finish them off since they've never been rained on during this drought.

I plan to dry them to xtra crispy and run the flowers in my tumbler, using it loosen up all the seeds from veg material but also maybe get a little extraction off it at the same time so I want these rains to wash them down a bit for that.
None of this flower is for smoking, just seeds and maybe some bonus hash but not counting on it.
They're close to being ready so I huddled them up and mounted my patio fan to the nearby pole because I don't want them to mold or soak the seeds in the flowers

 

[Bandit420]

Frog said it best




Holy shit!




I didn't think these would ever make it and got lost in the Bermuda Triangle! Handful of exotics finally showed up today!
I think this is the 4th or 5th chara strain I've reeled in and plan to run rotations of haze, indica, and chara.

 

[Bandit420]

lazy rainy weekend falling into Fall...

I'm happy with my Summer homegrown seed haul and feel I've got a good return on some investment as well as got a good refresh on and old fave.
Dug out all the select early fat beans to keep them separate from the bulk haul later on when the rest of the plants are overripe and ready to drop seeds.
I'm not liking the look of any of the weed seeing spots of maybe pm on leaves and bud rot spots so I'm just getting seeds out the top flowers and tossing the rest.

For each batch of select seeds I put them down on a lens wipe that has iso on it and rolled them around a little to clean them up and ready for storage

The difference in each one trips me out especially Motown Lockdown as dark as watermelon seeds but other seeds in the same mama are a lighter and more normal color...

funny man, i knew exactly where my piecemaker was but no clue as to where i put the inlays.. figured they were in a drawer somewhere in the office.. i went right for the main part and unscrewed the cap and BAM! the inlays fell out!!!! i actually put somethin away correctly!!!!!! it has the cap with the hole in it so i have no idea where the solid one is!! hahaha



so glad your seed efforts paid off man, i know it wasn't your plan A but it looked to turn out pretty awesome from here!!!!!

.

did you do any more extracts since that temple ball? i assume that was full melt?

Man that thing should be in a museum!
That hole was for converting to a BHO extractor correct? Man, we've come a long ways since then!!!

I use my rosin prepress these days....




No more pucks needing to be wrenched down to press...the weight of the cylinder and better quality hash does the trick.
I can't even really use heat higher than body temp to press but it's not full melt. I'm probably in a very small minority on this but I feel it's possible to over-extract and sometimes to get full melt means losing good stuff along the way and I'm not sure full melt status is worth that.

This hash is more old world made with new world equipment. I took Frenchy's washer, Bubblebag Dude bags, and a custom drain thru stack bucket design idea after the wash that gave my yield a huge boost. A mix of both mechanical and hand stirring then sifting before drain worked a treat too. Pretty much took a lot of different ideas and techniques then combined and adjusted to actually work for me.

The swirl in there where it gets real light in color is full melt and could be extracted on the rosin press so with all the broken heads and husks mixed in it's more corrupted but also more full body and colorful.
Since it's hybridized after the grow, the effects of both sativa and indica are full throttle and not muted like an extract from hybrid weed. And since it's live, well that's just another engine in the rocket to space city!

I can enjoy in the Isprie rig but it leaves the rig dirty.
A dugout pipe old world style made from glass, a rock, or antler could work too but my fave is to pull off a piece (it's like taffy) and roll into a grain of rice sized bit and tuck inside a joint...basically a downsized cannagar without the oil coating.
The doob will burn slow AF and be so damn medicinal potent it's not funny. Effects last about 3 hours and takes around 30 minutes to burn down.

Next on the menu is some rosin pressing maybe this weekend. I like to play with rosin and my freeze dryer, seeing what comes out of it.
I like rosin because I really never know what I'm gonna get until I get it.
I can freeze dry then squish or freeze dry after the squish. Both give different results. There's also the new Dalecure to play with there too.
The whole crop from the last grow was dried and put on ice but there's old stuff too. I'll probably get everything from black goo to crumble wax when I start into the squish supply.

Dude...I'm so excited about what's come of these seeds!!!!
I'm gonna make one more order thru Anthos and that about does it for me and buying seeds. From now on I'll be my own seed bank and I'll know everything there is to know about freshness and what/where they're from





Next Summer I'm gonna breed some!
If I cross Motown Lockdown with Durban Poison does that give me Capetown Lockdown or Motown Poison?
I have a pair of mutts too that came out of this...Motown male pollinated a very runty and one of a kind single Tarlic Breath. These two were like a couple old people fucking the seeds were so old and hard to get growing but I got a single plump flower loaded with beans out of it.
Another, my Indian landrace female was hit by Bluebell without intention. That is a such a wild pairing man...like a midget fucking an amazon woman.

Never intended to do any Star Wars theme stuff with my seeds but it just happened with Thai Fighter and Arvala 7.
Both carry one hitter quitter qualities with loud, rotten stink.
Arvala is the spinoff from the Jawa/vader OG stuff. I named it Arvala for the Jawas that were living on the mud planet Arvala 7 in Mandalorian instead of the Jawas on Tatooine. Both are Jawas but mine is a spinoff similar to what I did with Ript Banana a long time ago. BTW Thai Fighter is pretty much Ript B but with different name from a different breeder

I decided to get super serious about building the vault upgrading from little baggies and pill bottles to a real deal kit.
I also have 49% Bovedas and oxygen absorbers for inside the binder




The binder hold 40 vials and I got a Rubbermaid Brilliance to keep the binder inside then the whole kit goes into the deep freeze
