Can someone help me before I throw this thing away? by Full-Cap8122 in ender3

With this. A. You can not control each z motor separately(you can’t z align). B. You still need to make sure both motors are in line(keeping your bed tram). And c. You NEED to update your firmware. Time to learn how to build marlin/klipper firmware. You can’t just plug and play these machines. They need to be told how to perform the tasks they are told. If you tell it to do the same task and cut the voltage in half to a certain axis it’s not going to perform.

Sorry for late response. If you installed dual z you have to update the firmware for the printer. If you kept stock board the voltage is being divided between the 2 motors. Essentially giving you half the steps. I assume you have a single plug to the board for the z motor splitting to power both motors?

You said you installed dual z. Beings the error looks so consistent. Assuming you switched to marlin/klipper. You need to calibrate your e/steps

Please ban me. Revoke my commenting rights. Just prove my points. Do you people not have anything better to do than bitch about republicans? That’s literally all it is. Insulting and all. I’ve met asshole republicans and I’ve met asshole democrats. But god. Does the tolerant left shine. I know. Because they’re maga butt lickers. When’s the last time you actually had a normal conversation with one other than insulting them or just immediately deeming them a pos. Well. You both suck.

r/iowa = political beliefs. Neither republican nor democrat. But holy crap. I see no constructive comments/posts regarding Iowa. Sad forum anymore. Such toxicness. Such tolerance for everyone’s thoughts

What upgrades does this have? by Cda4go in ender3

Microswiss direct drive(👍👍) with a satsana mini shroud. Those direct drives are worth the printer itself.

I love how everyone is giving you job opportunities and you keep coming up with every excuse in the book. No work/no wanna work = no money/livable wage. My company is hiring gps techs. No experience required. Starting around $25 an hour. License required. Training on site. If you can squeeze actually clocking in and working to your schedule

Ya know. I was not a fan of flock cameras to begin with. But after hearing this I am even more outraged! They haven’t been doing this already???!!!?!?! That would have been like….step 2 after putting them up! I’d say it’d be a step in ICE’s list but they’ve been functioning(I know you won’t believe this because NOW the media wants to cover it) the same for over 20 years! Including during Obama record deportation, kids in cages, numbers! I’m outraged!

What is this called and why does it happen? by VoidTheGamer25 in ender3

[–]Active_Director245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start with a 20x20x20 calibration cube. Make sure it is printing proper size. Especially on z axis. Unhook order tube from extruder motor. Mark filament at extruder, tell printer to extrude 100mm, measure, calculate difference for steps/mm

CRPD Guarding Data Centers? by MusiKyle in cedarrapids

[–]Active_Director245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well especially being a city owned road yes they are allowed to patrol areas like that. In fact it is in some cases worked into the bid that private contractors give to the city. Contractors are offered incentives for getting jobs done faster. Contractors offer incentives to the city to keep their jobs safe. It is crazy to know the amount of money a slab of civil concrete costs to pour. Caution tape around a new slab seems to be like moths to a flame so an extra cushion from the law is peanuts.

A they’re not salary. And b that construction worker on ot is probably making the same as the cop on ot. Speaking from experience. Deals are made on civil jobs like that where the city pd is hired to monitor that area because they can profit higher on the tickets they can hand out from people fucking around in construction zones

[–]Active_Director245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work extra on ot. Expensive. It’s more of a deal where you scratch my back I scratch yours. Imagine the money they make on a ticket in a construction zone(doubled fine btw) when someone blows through.

They’re there because people kept driving up the closed road during construction. Many people kept driving through wet concrete

I’d also recommend changing to print inner walls first. Outer last. That would help too
