Ordered a portable USB microscope kit (with polarized lens) for PCB rework. Hopefully, this will work well enough. (HDMi trace repair of an XBox Series X PCB)

Guess who gets to repair some HDMI traces this weekend.
Me. It's me.
Wish I had a microscope station, but they cost MONEY.
...Maybe I can save up for an AmScope.

Finally got the Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro Kit for my X1C printer ... only to learn (a bit too late) that it does NOT support the TPU-85A nor the TPU-90A filament that was sold as an "add-on".
Sigh... guess I'll need to get containers for the TPU rolls. Thankfully, I have gel of silica packets.

I think this worked out perfectly!

Almost done! Wow, the Bambu Lab X1C is printing some kind of support strands horizontally!

3D Printer is printer-ing now.

Here was the result! Got a bit of odd discoloration, maybe the filament has been affected by sunlight or nozzle temp. Not sure. It's supposed to be clear filament.

Got a Bambu Lab X1C. It's super easy to set up, and feels like a good UX. Printing stuff with ABS this week.
Shown here: Video of the first layer print. Base layer of a "push pop" candy container 3D print using translucent ABS. Although the filament is translucent, the printed layer appears white.
