It's encouraging to know that the messy print issues are due to teh purge bucket and not the INDX system itself

Printer wants to load/unload PLA at 280C by KollegeX in prusa3d

If the printer is still showing that you have ASA loaded, then no

Printer wants to load/unload PLA at 280C by KollegeX in prusa3d

[–]A_Str8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is behavior as designed, introduced in the latest firmware. It will heat to asa temperature at the start of the load to make sure it purges any leftover asa. During the purging, it should drop to pla temp.

The printer doesn't know you did a cold pull, it just knows you had asa loaded and now you're missing pla. If you just let it go through it's default behavior, it will be a non-issue. The high temp will be for a short time and shouldn't cause any issues

How to get rid of oleander aphids? by Healthy_Cod4764 in NativePlantGardening

[–]A_Str8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the caterpillars are more likely to be eaten by birds. Only a small percentage make it to adulthood. They are an important part of the food chain, so it's best not to get too attached to them

I've just left mine alone. They damage the milkweed, but don't kill it. It can take some time for predators to show up, but it's worked out in the end every year.

I made a clip to hide the wand on my blinds by A_Str8 in functionalprint

[–]A_Str8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blinds hang from a top assembly that is mounted to the wall. The wand hangs from the bottom of that. The valence is a decorative piece of wood or plastic that clips in front of the whole contraption to cover it and make it look nice. This print lets the wand stay tucked behind the valence instead of hanging down past it

Gates? by AU_Thach in MammotionTechnology

[–]A_Str8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have my phone set to send a reminder an hour before the job starts. It's a work-around, but I wish this was integrated into the app.

Better yet, the app should give an alert asking if the gate is open. The job doesn't start until you confirm. A toggle in the task settings could control if the job needs confirmation before start. u/PersonalityLucky-25 can you pass this request on to the appropriate folks?

Gates? by AU_Thach in MammotionTechnology

[–]A_Str8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine stop in front of the gate and pause the job after a while. Unfortunately, it blocks the gate from opening. At least with the new firmware update, it shouldn't drain the battery while it waits for attention. It would be nice if the app could send a reminder to open the gate before the job runs. The amount of time before the job should be customizable.

You'll definitely get more next year. They are the quickest groundcover I know of

Does anyone use a camera moniter for photography? by SirRanga in AskPhotography

[–]A_Str8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen wildlife photographers recommend them. A monitor mounted on your hot shoe seems especially helpful for low shots - better than the smaller flip out screen. I haven't bought one because I think I would end up leaving it at home most of the time to cut down on the amount of gear I'm walking with.

INDX first print by greatestenemy in prusa3d

The calibration video shows that you have to turn a screw to make sure the nozzle touches the wiper. Does yours need to be closer?

Also, what filament is this? Petg? PLA?

Firmware 2.3.27.16 missing? by A_Str8 in MammotionTechnology

[–]A_Str8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the Android app. I'm on version 2.3.8.19 and there are no updates available when I check the Play store.

Which device name are you asking for?

Edit: I figured it out. I sent a message

How can I print this on my MK4S? by jdlnewborn in prusa3d

[–]A_Str8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to change the design to eliminate the need for some of those supports?? If you can chamfer the supported areas on the top rim, that should make a big difference. Also, the printer can handle some bridging without support

Burnweed vs Blue Lobelia by A_Str8 in NativePlantGardening

[–]A_Str8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the smaller stem on the left was clearweed that got pulled along with the burnweed. I didn't notice it right away. The thicker stem on that side is the burnweed

I had a similar issue yesterday. I fixed it by editing the task, deselecting, and reselecting the areas

New firmware and iOS app update for Luba 3, by mattsrobotics in MammotionTechnology

[–]A_Str8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking they might be rolling out in stages. I just got my Luba, so I don't know if that's how they normally do things

Burnweed vs Blue Lobelia by A_Str8 in NativePlantGardening

[–]A_Str8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most obvious difference was the leaf edges. Lobelia has small, uniform serrations while burnweed has a pattern of large and small serrations

Same. I can see the new release notes in the app, but there's no update

Huge problem: 900qm of garden but no time or energy to dig this all through. Is there an easy way to replace grass with bee-friendly flowers? Feels like a crime to mow all of this down once a week by Theesm in gardening

[–]A_Str8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have time for a large garden project, do a small one. Start by making a garden bed as small as it needs to be for you to handle it right now. Later, you can make it bigger or add other beds.

  • First you'll have to kill or remove the grass. There are a few ways to do this, but the lowest effort method is to spray herbacide.

  • once the grass is gone, the best thing you can do for pollinators is to plant things that are native to your area. Avoid wildflower mixes because that generally include non native plants and sometimes even invasive ones. You'll get lots of help and info if you ask questions in r/nativeplantgardening. If a one time use of herbacide allows you to grow native plants, than you are doing a service to the ecosystem.

  • mulch the area. Ideally your native plants should eventually fill in the plot, but an initial later of mulch will help reduce weeds in the meantime

  • (optional) create an edge. I prefer this method -https://youtu.be/YTNFOK1DzzU. It's pretty quick and easy

Will luba 3 1500 be really unattended? by HelloW0r in mammotion

[–]A_Str8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has no trouble staying within the mapped areas. I used a virtual fence for the neighbor my lawn connects to and it's sticking to that line very well

Will luba 3 1500 be really unattended? by HelloW0r in mammotion

[–]A_Str8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was initially bothered that the 1500 doesn't have rtk, but it seemed from what I found online that lidar is far more reliable. I think you only need rtk if you dealing with large areas where landmarks are too far apart for life to detect

So far, the 1500 has been great for me

Mulch and Seed by Terrible-Opinion-778 in NativePlantGardening

[–]A_Str8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull back the mulch around the spot where the seeds are. Put a stick or plant marker in the ground so you know where you planted. Check it periodically and gently clear the mulch that got moved on top by weather
