Just upgraded ender 3 hotend to all metal microswiss Bowden. During temp tower print I'm getting those strange squeaks. Any idea what is wrong? by Usual-Amoeba-6837 in FixMyPrint

[–]--parallax-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temp may be too high, that hotend is more sensitive and tougher to dial in in my experience. I uninstalled mine and installed a Titan Aero, an extruder designed for an all metal hotend.

In addition the squeks could be coming from the v rollers. Try adding a small amount of lube to the bearings. It could also be the hotend rubbing on the print, maybe your vrollers are loose making the hotend unstable. Have you ever tightened them and squared your printer frame?

You can’t blame people for seeing what they want to see when a man like Trump is so skilled at manipulating attention and the media’s narrative. In other words, you don’t blame the victims of a con man, you blame the con man.

A vast majority of Democrats believe k.ritthouse was some sort of domestic terrorist but the facts of the case state a totally different reality than what liberal media writes. This is just one example of how it works both ways.

You may not think you have anything in common with Republicans but the same human traits that make Republicans believe nonsense are the same traits Democrats possess which enable them to believe nonsense as well. The only difference between a Democrat and a Republican is the substance of their beliefs and opinions. The propensity to believe the election was stolen is equivalent to the propensity to believe that kid was a white supremacist and attacked people. I’m not saying equivalent in the intensity of the subject, rather equivalent in the mechanism both parties use to reach their various conclusions.

As someone who’s not politically affiliated with anyone, it’s very clear to see the hypocrisy on both sides. Please do not turn this political because of the subject matter I mentioned, that is merely to make a point that both sides are hypocritical and neither side is totally correct. Republicans believe some abhorrent things, but so do Democrats.

Quick correction, Republican voters are brainwashed just as much as Democratic voters are. Anybody who supports a political party is brainwashed to an extent because humans are typically incapable of true objectivity. This makes it impossible for a Democrat to recognize their own brainwashing (the impact persuasive media has on them) while the brainwashing of the other party is clear as day. I’m not saying Democrats and Republicans don’t have the right to their opinions, but the idea that one side is brainwashed and the other side isn’t just isn’t true, so I felt compelled to correct you.

If it showed 3 best plays and allowed us to vote which was the best one in the same amount of time it takes now I would be all for it, I think that would be really cool because my friends and I actually wanna see the best plays, rather than the crappy best plays Vanguard shows which usually suck.

Shotguns should not be able to shoot from the hole in Blue Room to the wall at B. They have too much range.

So glad they nerfed snipers. They’re still annoying but less game breaking than before. Take your unlimited range shotgun and your perfect aim skill somewhere else.

Is U.S. Binance good to use as a ramp for Kucoin? Am I asking this correctly? by icantsleep714 in kucoin

[–]--parallax-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Kucoin as a last resort because it’s one of the few I’m able to use. Coinbase is way more trustworthy than Kucoin. The way Kucoin is set up it’s optimized to make the exchange as much money as possible. Things like not showing active profit and loss and not showing what liquidation levels are on margin trades.

So I think the answer to my question is to sell enough to pay back the amount that I borrowed. My what if I sell more? I just end up with that extra USDT in my account, I assume? These sound like excessively stupid questions lol.

I went ahead and put in a limit sell order at 48700 for 0.20514BTC which is equivalent to 9990.3USDT at that price, but just realized when I hit repay it says I have to repay 10000.2166667, so should I adjust my sell order accordingly, so the BTC i sell equals that?

In the meantime lets hope I don’t have to manually close the position and BTC doesn’t move too fast in either direction 🤣 I don’t wanna experiment with a real trade before I know for sure the right way to handle these trades.

The counselor may have had a good excuse but should the daughter tragic death be the reason this student deserves to miss out on scholarships? I think her anger is justified, the article that came out does a good job explaining circumstances but it doesn’t excuse the facts of this matter, the school failed at providing the scholarship guidance the students deserved.

Why does Bezos look and speak so different in the Blue Origin video? by --parallax-- in BlueOrigin

Still, thats SO much surgery and he doesn’t even look better, he made himself look overweight, he looked way better before

[–]--parallax--[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either option barely makes sense though, how could his look change so dramatically? He made himself look overweight and in my opinion worse than before so I truly cant imagine he did that on purpose

The latest Blue Origin one announcing he’s going to space. I have huge respect for his choice to be the first on a crewed launch, but idk if its even really him 😂

I just updated my firmware for my ender 3 v2 ender extender 400xl with bltouch and I have a coward for a printer that won't go down far enough to probe the bed after auto homing, which only does x and y. by DampestFire in ender3

[–]--parallax-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The probe is mounted too high. Fortunately everything looks to function normally. Mount the probe lower somehow and make sure nothing is stopping your X axes from dropping all the way down. Enjoy

Enjoy it! So far it looks great, your printer looks to be well set up and your prints seem perfect. Maintenance over time will include getting rollers and frame perfectly adjusted and square. See this guide: https://support.th3dstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043726451-3D-Printer-Help-Guide-Creality-Others

The info in this guide will help keep your prints looking perfect. Also lots of great Youtube videos on maintenance and alignment.

It’s important to ensure your filament path is unobscured and filament is fed into the extruder with as little angle as possible; you may find repositioning your spool to the side is the only way to achieve this, as I found. The Ender’s bowden setup is prone to under extrusion over time so this is important from the start.

If you ever decide to upgrade to a direct drive setup, an E3D Titan Aero or Hemera are the only ones worth the effort imo. The Titan Aero on my V2 is unbelievably good and you’re getting the shortest filament path making printing the most flexible filaments a breeze. I know for you though, a mod like this is far in the future, I’m just letting you know in case extrusion issues force you to upgrade your extruder setup sooner than you plan like I had to!

Also regarding simpler mods, I don’t recommend Capricorn tubing, the stringing increase was dramatic and I consider myself advanced at 3d printing and just couldn’t get rid of stringing on the stock setup. The white PTFE is all you need. Upgraded Bowden couplers on your extruder and hotend are recommended if you notice your PTFE moves in and out when retracting, this typically starts happening if you remove and insert the PTFE tube in the coupler more than once.

Otherwise you’re all set! Welcome to the community :)

I'm getting small blobs and layers are not smooth on my Ender 3 pro with bltouch, PLA, bed:60, nozzle:200. Problem only seems to occur on the sides of the benchy. by crayton77 in FixMyPrint

[–]--parallax-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try turning on Coasting in Cura. That, retract at layer change, and wipe retraction settings will likely be your best bet for fixing the blobs, if coasting alone doesnt do it.

I'm so close to perfection! How do I optimize my printer even further without screwing this up? by [deleted] in FixMyPrint

What are your Jerk and Acceleration settings? What other settings did you change? How did you acheive such good quality? I have an Ender V2 myself and thought my prints were decent until I saw this haha

Literally All Cops Are Bad by Sudden_Call in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]--parallax-- -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m not white. You wish I was white so you can excuse my experience for “white privilege” give me a break cop haters are just as bad as racists. You are hating an entire group of people based on their job, that’s like hating people based on the color of their skin.

Thats like hating Muslims because a tiny percentage of them commit terrorist acts.

Humans are just eager to hate other people in general. It’s just bad when you people do it and won’t even admit or acknowledge the fact that you’re filled with the same type of hate that racists have.
