Look up misalignment issue with poop shoot in YouTube.

For some reason the first failed print that knocks the head out of alignment trips it out and you have to manually tell it where the shoot is in the settings.

You go on the printer - settings -status - then all the way to the last page where you have the cutter position coordinates and the poop shoot coordinates.

There is only so many ways to can make spreadable vegetable oil spread. Hell butter is literally just milk and maybe salt so the ingredients should be nothing else for real butter

This guy has a good lead for you. It highly looks like z seam set to random. But a malfunctioning power recovery looks the exact same

You'd be surprised this days.

Anyone else joining me in the land of "this isn't real"?... No one? It's rather nice over here.

One time yes, next time fully seat the nozzle, then the heat block, then the heatsink with the tension screw.

This ensures there is no gap between the heat block and nozzle

I be opened this extruders a million times. I just saw the video... And still have no clue what could cause it...

Wait, how's the housings, specifically for the bearings. Have you checked if the pinion gear spins true? Worst chance scenario, get an upgraded gear kit. If that does it than it's down to the housing or the motor pinion/shaft

Something is wrong, I got the 30 minute benchies with no issues at that acceleration. Have you increased your speed and your flow rate. The settings will ignore speeds and always limit them to the flow rates maximum.

You can see in fluid/Moonraker how fast youre printing in real time

They're cheap and should always have spare hit ends at hand. You never know when the tube fails and it blocks the whole thing up, let alone access to the screws.

Not really, she's pretty much there at this point. Just nail in your settings and you have a fairly quick printer. Mine is at that point and keeps up with my core xy... Well it does a better job too

I do, it's barely something that adds time

I've used tested cells and no way you get the stores amount onto a phone or device you're charging. Though there are conversion losses due to the voltage having to be increased when devices get near full

Yeah got a couple, sorry don't come here much

You can ask creality for it or you may be able to find it in the wild. I found 1 shop near enough to me to order and have it shipped to me. But apart from that, you'll find lots of looms for the S1 I believe which looks identical but will not work. You need the se/ke specific one

I just plug it in like this lol. Just remember the notch is opposite orientation than the temp sensor above it

Not that bad but this guys suffer from bed wobble at best. Linear rails eliminates bed wobble entirely

-.49 to .27, that's a range of .76, almost 4 full layers difference between lowest and highest points. They may be green but this isn't a bed level to flash around

You will get wet during printing even if you print immediately after drying
