Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, probably gonna be getting the 0.4mm Diamondback nozzle soon but currently have the hardened steel 0.4mm nozzle

Great choice the carbon x1 is a great printer.

i love it, i've only printed PLA and PETG with it so far, but it's done really well with no bed or layer adhesion issues

warm start and remote rev with the titanium exhaust

well, thats not good. my slightly too large rear tires that have been rubbing have also been flaring out my rear fenders, and now the paint is beginning to crack slightly

Diameter seems to be fine and within the 3% boundary, what wheel size do you have on the rear? also do you drive on roads that push the tire up that much?

wheel is 19X12 with +46mm offset. and yes, i do. there's a couple bumps that nearly bottom out the suspension

Wow that's so unfortunate :( rear spacers seem to be the move then

Unless you are talking about spring spacers, there is not much he can do to stop the rubbing other then downsize the tire choice. Might even have to change offset on the rears wheels.

I was barely rubbing and had to add more camber than I wanted to clear. Steeda makes some spring spacers but I don't think they will help here.

i have no room to move with the offset. i cant go more negative because then it pokes more, and i cant go more positive because i am already as close to the shocks as i wish to be, and my alignment is basically perfect for my mix of autocross and daily driving. my only options are to either run a 345 tire or get a widebody kit. this is my current rear tire to shock spacing

on my way in to work this morning, i got a check engine light. P0430. tech i gave it to hasnt officially looked at it yet, but is saying it will probably need a new bank 2 cat, which is the driver one that has the manifold attached. thankfully, if i need to leave it for a day or two, i got an uncontested loaner. 2024 Bronco Big Bend with the 7-speed manual in Velocity Blue

looks like the downstream bank 2 O2 sensor is jumping between 0.8v, 0.3v, 0.6v, and is overall erratic, while the downstream bank 1 O2 sensor is stable

Sounds like best case scenario tbh. I would be shocked if your cats needed replacing after only 20k miles. Those things are designed to last years (if not boosted)

even if it was a cat, there's 7 in National which can be overnighted, and its under the 8yr/80k mile emissions warranty, so the $2300 for the cat/manifold assembly, $350 core charge, and shipping are on Ford's dime
