The modem is fine, I tested it on my Amstrad (via DB9) as well as via a modern pc (via SerialUSB) and it worked great on both occasions.Checked BIOS, COM1 is enabled as the Serial port.

paulrickardsThat’s somewhat better. 100% infill (was 20%) and top iron at 20% flow (was 10%). Also using the TPU (85A) manufacturer settings file for Bambi P1S.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a>

paulrickardsTried to make a stamp today with my 3D printer using PLA for the handle and TPU for the stamp. Results are meh. Maybe the flow rates aren’t right which leaves the gaps. I did use the iron feature on the top layer too. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a>

Paolo AmorosoThis curious 1980 book was published in the golden era of bedroom programming and explored many ways of doing business with home computers, from writing software and documentation to consulting and other services.
