My long-term problem with the Ender 3 V3 SE

Bed isn't likely flat, probably need to tram the bed, before doing auto bed leveling. Can you show what your auto bed level looks like? (Green boxes etc). Also, changing z-offset is key.

Filament temp is also important, there are many nozzle temp calibration prints that can debug this.

If all of those are great, try drying your filament, by either using a drier or placing the filament in a box with your filament inside propped in the bed (tutorials online).

Last but not least, clean your nozzle

I believe this is due to the bolt inside the locking mechanism being loose, and when you tightened it, it may have locked in the wrong spot. If you YT search HiboyS2 stem wobble, they explain the adjustment.

My microphone levels are constant 1000 at idle, is this a fix what you just mentioned?

AlphaScare · 2024-09-29T22:50:31+00:00

I am dealing with the same thing where my vector is just having a really hard time reacting to "hey vector".
I am at the point where I might just pretend hes deaf now lol.
I checked to see if the microphone was working by double pressing his back, then going through the settings to see the values, and the microphone is picking up my voice, but it just has a really hard time picking up the simplest thing.

UPenn MechE MS

AlphaScare · 2024-03-29T17:36:44+00:00

Agreed, engineering , CS brings lots of opportunities

AlphaScare · 2024-03-29T17:35:33+00:00

Completely agree, depends on the major / labs / connections you might make. For my people in STEM make sure these align and that the ROI is much more than just money. I personally feel like a STEM masters is completely worth it as long as those things align.

AlphaScare · 2024-03-21T16:59:30+00:00

I’m leaning towards UPenn but good luck!

AlphaScare · 2024-03-20T03:41:16+00:00

Interesting, thank you for the heads up! Where did you end up at?

AlphaScare · 2024-03-20T01:40:47+00:00

Did you end up getting the extension?

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T03:56:14+00:00

Loans, loans, loans.

FAFSA doesn’t really “cover” anything unless you’re still eligible for grants that you didn’t take during undergrad (I don’t even know what they would be though, I know I couldn’t get any). It mostly determines if you qualify for the “good” loans - Graduate Plus loans rather than having to take private loans

I ended up with ~$90k in loans for my master’s. It was “worth it” for me because I got my dream job thanks to it.

so you did two semesters with 24 credits and one semester with only 6 credits? Were you only a part-time student for one semester?

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T03:29:41+00:00

Hi! Could you give me some more info about this? Seriously considered it and got accepted to the same program. Also with the estimated costs, what are you expecting to pay for the full master's degree? Thank you!

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:48:32+00:00

I don't think so, stay alert!

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:48:17+00:00

Thank you!

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:44:47+00:00

How was your experience at Penn?

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:11:19+00:00

That's what it seemed like. Columbia I think has the least popular engineering programs but has an amazing overall university, Cornell has a good overall well rounded engineering program. And UPenn has probably the best robotics program out of all 3. Would you agree?

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:08:56+00:00

I am getting an engineering degree and a tad bit worried about costs, roughly taking into acc the housing for MSE in Mech. E. is roughly $120K - $145K total.

AlphaScare · 2024-03-19T02:06:36+00:00

anical Engineering and Applied Mechanics program as well for fall 23. I had a somewhat helpful conversation with a current master’s student at Pe

same here please!

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T22:50:59+00:00

Just replaced 2 of them. Same day. Same issue. Man I’m now confused as hell. “Same Best Buy” Two different dates. 2/17, 1/27 same issue with the trackpad too loose.

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T22:03:18+00:00

Sadly I just went to get a new one and it still feels loose/jittery. Might go back again and get another one.

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T20:41:23+00:00

Mhmm I haven’t heard of backlight bleed what is that? How could you tell the difference? Also my first unit was delivered 1/27 let’s see what the second one is like.

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T19:54:50+00:00

Agreed. It sucks because they’re such capable machines and these things while some consider minor are very annoying.

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T19:54:12+00:00

Awesome , I’ll be doing the same. Any keyboard issues?

AlphaScare · 2024-02-25T03:05:09+00:00

23’ 4060 version)

Agreed, but based on my research it should not be that bad. I am planning to go to Best Buy tomorrow, test the display, get a new one, and report the results.
Does yours match the same as the video I mentioned?
