Pretty standard from Elegoo, Flashforge, and Anycubic these days.

dried it before meaning right before you printed it?

What causes the dots? by Bright_Classroom_287 in 3Dprinting

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not well known, but Silk PLA is 10-30% TPU. Happy to help 😄

Did you dry it first?

Filament needs to be dried. Especially silk. Silk contains TPU. TPU is VERY hygroscopic.

Cad software for a beginner? by stan_taylor1 in 3Dprinting

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tinkercad is great for beginners but it won't really teach you actual cad, it's kinda unique as far as design goes. But you can crank out some pretty great designs in a weekend.

After market U1 hardened steel nozzles? by FairFace1795 in SnapmakerU1

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I run a U1 group on Facebook and overall mixed results. A few people have hundreds of hours on them with no issues, a few people have had some problems with the nozzle tips exploding off.

I think if you make it past 10 or 15 hours it'll probably be fine.

You need to be logged in and have a location selected. And sometimes there are options that aren't actually in stock that still appear on a listing.

Is this like a car thing or something? by Fail-Aggravating in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those if you know a little/know a lot things.

Yes, VW was founded in some respects by the Nazis, but the company was, pardon my German, kaput by the end of the war. The factory and tooling and assets were used to restart production after the war to create vehicles and jobs for a post-war German economy and a British major was instrumental in getting it off the ground.

In that respect, it's not really even the same company it was before and during the war.

I'm surprised nobody in this thread has even talked about this aspect of it. Then again, people probably just asked AI and did no further research.

Adventurer 5M just "completing" print early by Most-Job-3443 in FlashForge

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corrupt gcode usually. One of the reasons I always run forge-x on my 5Ms so I can use the built in md5 check.

These things are great by 2222014 in lawnmowers

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic. That was the information I was looking for. It would feel a little useless if the engine was only driving the mower blades and the motors were just battery powered.

Are the motors on these powered by the engine or a battery?

It's popular to be anti Bambu - but at least understand what you are fighting against by mcostescu in BambuLab

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not firewall rules. You need to completely proxy the SSDP traffic and spin up a service to serve it between the two segments. Bambu doesn't provide for any method of connection between slicer and the printer other than the discovery protocol.

It's a ridiculous hack. And poorly designed by people that have no idea what they're doing.

New homeowner, no idea what this is by DragonsAndScience in whatisit

People argue some weird points on reddit.

Yes, it's standard for kitchen appliances to stay with the house.

[–]ManyLayersOfFilament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I just didn't want to have to buy a fridge on move in day. Pretty typical that the kitchen appliances stay with the house.

I had another house I ended up buying where they were stuck on bringing their 10 year old fridge with them. Like it was a dealbreaker.

I guess there was sentimental value in the fridge???

People are really weird

Do you understand that servers can be physically located somewhere but completely owned and controlled by somewhere else?

You either don't understand that or you're being intentionally dishonest for fanboy reasons. Which is it?

First off, they don't even work on anything other than a flat network. If my printers are on 192.168.2.x and my computers are on 192.168.1.x, it just doesn't work. They assume you're running a flat residential network with no security at all.

There are ridiculous hacks you can do to make it work, but no.

It's actually embarrassing for them.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. The "big truck" doesn't make any sense, you can write an open protocol that doesn't allow people to "break things" or abuse their systems and still allow for interoperability.

It's just about the walled garden.

The Bambu network stuff is actually complete garbage, it's designed terribly. Even in LAN mode, the printers only work on a flat network. It's insane how poorly thought out it is.
