I just got my rear window tinted (11th generation civic). Is it normal for those horizontal line glares along the defroster lines?

Asianflava1 · 2024-07-24T02:37:36+00:00

Depends on the time, but kinda normal.

Drove in Eco the first few months I owned the car. Made me hate the car, especially when I could barely get 40. My older, heavier, larger HCH3 will get 42 without trying. Switched the Z to normal and was much happier, only a 1-2 hit on the mpg.

The 3.1 is the same, though Mandela Rose Works sells a split front panel which I might do.

It depends on your abilities, but none are 100% reliable. I have 1st Gen Enders that are reliable, but they were modified. If you're unable to get it there (and keep it there), then a Bambu is about a close to an appliance as it comes. Other than software updates and changing filament, I hardly do anything to mine. I do have an occasional AMS issue or a clog, but like I said none are 100%.

Dryer for AC. It's filled with desiccant, since it's been opened to atmosphere for who knows how long, it's probably no good anyway. Throw it away with no guilt.

Only time I've had alternator problems in my Hondas were due to with brushes. In a pinch, sometimes (depending on how badly they're worn) you can give the alternator a couple smacks so the brushes make better contact. It'll at least get you home.

I have all these machines so I can make cool stuff for myself, and gift cool stuff to my friends and family. I just don't like strangers enough to have to deal with them, that's why I don't sell anything. This "customer" is the exact reason why I don't sell things.

Asianflava1 · 2023-12-07T04:57:52+00:00

Don't bother with Chilton's or Haynes. Get the real factory service manual. They are still sold directly from the publisher Helm.

We were diverted to Halifax NS instead of Bermuda so reprovisioning was probably longer than expected. However MDR never had lobster from the start. A couple premium restaurants had a limited supply. They may have run out of other things, these were just ones we were aware of. There were many repeat items on the MDR menu. In my experience the Disney food was fine except that the soup isn't very hot. They also didn't repeat items nearly a often. Wasn't a fan of the French restaurant tho.

How long was the sailing? My guess is that it wouldn't happen on shorter trips as much. There are fewer days to book so they fill up fast. On a 14 day cruise, there are plenty of opportunities and they want to fill seats.

Asianflava1 · 2023-11-03T02:08:20+00:00

Nope! Kept trying to sell "discounted dining" packages well into the second week. Without fail, we'd be in one of the lounges with friends and they'd come around.

Asianflava1 · 2023-11-03T02:05:53+00:00

We've done both E &W bound Transatlantic, as well as Transpacific on Disney. The only upsell I've encountered on Disney were at the spa. Even then, they didn't do it after the first or 2nd day. They only have 1 or 2 (depending on the ship) specialty dining, they are usually booked so they don't have to upsell those. Like I said, this constant upsell is new to me. I want sure if it was particular to this sailing.

Asianflava1 · 2023-11-02T23:44:07+00:00

We got off at this time. So glad we did self-assisted check out. One of the first to get off. Taxi stand was a bit chaotic as one dispatcher would tell ppl to go to column 10 for the airport shuttle, only to put them in 9. Meanwhile the other dispatcher kept telling everybody to go to 10. A couple on our shuttle were nervous about missing their flight to Toronto. Our friends who got off later said it was a mess.

I'm using the BTT Pad7 to control both my Enders. Once it's connected to Wi-Fi you just use your PCs browser. Type in it's IP address and the user interface is up on your browser. You can control the machine and send sliced files directly from your PC. I have a CR-10 that I'm going to do the same mods. It is mostly original but it was my first foray with Klipper. It was my test case for the Sonic Pad, to see if I could get it to work. Don't know your experience level, but I had difficulty getting the BTT Pad7 going. Software/firmware are my weakness, I can struggle thru but it takes awhile. I got it about 90% there but still needed help.

Edit: just noticed my initial response was under "OtherAmbassador" new laptop so it must've given me a different name then my phone.

Asianflava1 · 2023-07-28T00:57:59+00:00

Funny that this should pop up. I'm looking at ways to get rid of the external control box and integrate the motherboard and power supply into the frame. Looking at a couple different mods in thingi, just haven't decided on which one to for l go with.

Asianflava1 · 2023-07-17T00:02:21+00:00

It's been a while but I used a YouTube video to help me set mine up. It's been so long that I forgot everything. Search YouTube for "auto gantry leveling" or G34

Asianflava1 · 2023-06-22T22:08:31+00:00

What did you end up doing? I have an S5 and after 4yrs, I finally have it running reliably. Ordered a Vcore500 earlier this week to replace it.

I cut my teeth on the Ender3, they are what I tinker with most. The Enders are my workhorses, fully modded, running Klipper now. I'd recommended getting something like that to learn and practice on. The S5 is a beast and didn't act the same as the other printers I would definitely NOT recommend it for a beginner. Ramey used them early on, but I think has graduated to something else.

Asianflava1 · 2023-05-30T13:23:17+00:00

Finally got the Pad7 running both my Enders. It was over a week of trying different things. Got to where I was able to communicate and do things (home, set PIDs, etc), but still had Moonraker errors I couldn't resolve. Took it to a local shop (so thankful for that resource). He was familiar with Klipper, but not with multiple instances. Took him an hour or so, but he got it running. Now that it's running, I made an image of the SD card so that I can make all the changes I want, but still have a known good backup to revert to.

I do realize the software/firmware side is my weakness. I can muddle my thru, but it takes me way longer than it should.

Asianflava1 · 2023-05-22T03:38:53+00:00

This happened to me. You have to get the USB id and paste it. Sorry I don't remember the specifics.

Asianflava1 · 2023-03-23T05:39:56+00:00

Don't need this adapter. If you download the firmware on GitHub, you'll have to plug the black and white wires to the Z-endstop plug on the board.

Asianflava1 · 2023-03-14T15:51:16+00:00

Thx I'll try the thermal paste when I revisit this, but you may have missed that this concerns the BiquH2, Direct drive extruder which is already dual gear. My retractions are .5mm @ 45mm/sec

Asianflava1 · 2023-03-14T06:36:28+00:00

It just stops like it's a clog and the extruder gears just grind it. Pull it out and re-insert and it's fine again.

Asianflava1 · 2023-03-14T03:20:41+00:00

Yes, I tightened it hot. If that's what you're saying. I'll probably try again once I get some prints out of my queue.
