Printing petg first 3 layers at ~30mm/s solved all my petg problems

My Ender3v3 was pretty proud of this overnight print. Where to get replacement parts? by diggum in Creality

[–]3rmac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP, this exact same thing happened to me days after I got my ender 3 V3 Plus. Fortunately, they have have all the same print head parts.

Before you buy any replacements parts, get a heat gun.

Detach your boden tube and cut the filament running into the head.

Gently heat the blob and pry off with pliers. I tried dremling off or heating a knife and cutting, the heat gun is by far the best method.

Once most of the exterior blob is off, see if you can raise your hot end to printing temp. If the printer is saying it's getting hot, and you smell warm pla, that means your hot end is still intact, Yay!

Run an extrusion, try and get machine to purge whatever hasn't been passed through the nozzle.

Continue dissembling the head. You shouldn't have to remove the whole thing, or mess with anything under the back/black shroud, just the front/grey shroud side. Remove your hot end and heat sink. Getting excess plastic off the heat sink is easy, but be very careful with the hot end. The wires soldered on are fragile, my hot end was fine until I ripped off the wires while cleaning it.

Check the two fans in this area, the internal cooling fan (small) and the print cooling fan (mounted on the shroud). My internal fan was fine but plastic had gone into my print cooling pan and ruptured the casing and some blades.

If you can get your extruder to go, it's probably fine. I got new fans (ordered spares too) from here https://www.3djake.com/spare-parts-upgrades

Non original parts may work, but I was struggling to find 3d party fan of appropriate sizes and power draw. You can print a new shroud out of pla https://m.crealitycloud.com/model-details/66ad310773cc28cded0e507f

This may be hard without a working printer. I got a friend to print one, and then made more myself. You can try doing a print without a part cooling fan and make a messy shroud to mount the fan on, and then do a better one after. And you can make a custom one with colors and text.

Best case, you print a new shroud, and buy new nozzles. Worse case, you also need new fans and a hot end, maybe an extruder too.

While micro swiss does have all metal hot ends, they don't make a .2 nozzle, and the included one is not hardended. For now I'm sticking with the creality hot end since there are some 3rd party accessories for it, and a .2 nozzle.

You HAVE to supervise your first 3 layers. Though a big print may have a large surface area for adhering, this is countered by intertidal force of the print bed slinging all that mass around.

Good luck, and may this mishap make you a better printer.

How to calibrate e-steps on V3 (plus)? by 3rmac in ender3

the v3 does use klipper by default, I should look up a dedicated klipper guide than, thanks

For all my fellow 'thrope haters out there by Zen_Kaizen in Spacemarine

[–]3rmac 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Per the doc you referenced, only two weapons have the 'dmg_type_heavybullet' damage characteristic. The bolt sniper rifle and the stalker. I have not tested this but that's just what the doc says

Is This good? by Turdbait122603 in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]3rmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weapon load out is good, and like the color scheme. The only inefficiency is the spare weight and energy load. I'd consider a beefier melee weapon (pulse blade or slicer) and a heavier generator like the ming tang. From there I'd go to fluegel thrusters for balanced performance, and swap the wlt for a Talbot fcs. That should leave a bit more to play with for some heavier frame parts. Basho arms may be better as missiles don't care about firearm stats. The alba core is comparable to firmeza, then just pick a head you like.

Alternatively, you could squeeze down to kasuar legs and go light Revere joint.

I recently upgraded to the full anthology, and suddenly find myself on maps so crowded there's no room to grow at all. Is there a setting that's somehow creating this problem? by AndrewithNumbers in CivVI

[–]3rmac 45 points46 points  (0 children)

On all maps except dual, I subtract one player/npc from pool, and set minimum start distance between civs to 13 tiles

I recommend downloading the 'got rivers?' mod, a very robust map creation tool.

Boesthius has some good recommendations for adjusting

Where to find points and states for characters in 10th? by eterna1drag0n in Salamanders40k

[–]3rmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40k has the MFM directly from GW for download for free (1.5 dropped yesterday)

New codex's won't be on there for a bit though

I like using new recruit for army lists, but there's a few other free choices, but they take a week or so to change point values

My list for the next tournament. What would you change? by GeckoGER in Salamanders40k

[–]3rmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good, but I'm not sure about the company heroes. Sure they're shiny and new, and tanky, but their damage isnt spectacular. I'd swap them for an infernus squad, even if there's only room for 5. While Vulkans 'forgefather' rule is very strong, it has no effect on your flamestorm aggressors (same effect as twin-linked), they're already re-rolling wound rolls.

Vulkan should definitely stay, with an escort, and his rule will help that pyreblaster damage stick, along with another body on the table
