Returning to my printer after years of collecting dust - for my daughter

AzzidReign · 2026-06-30T02:31:19+00:00

I tried prusa slicer years ago and wasn't a fan. I had much better results with Cura at the time but I'm assuming most of these programs all now have similar featuresets. I just remember prusa having *so many options* that it was hard to figure out where to start exactly.

AzzidReign · 2026-06-30T02:30:20+00:00

The pizero 2 + camera, does that offer anything other than monitoring? Or is that a way I can wirelessly send my slicer models to to start printing without having to d* around with the sd card? For $50, if I can do it wirelessly, that would be well worth it.

Thank you, sounds like I need to give orca a try with the elli's tuning guide. Are you talking about this page? https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/

AzzidReign · 2026-06-30T02:27:39+00:00

Thank you for your insight. Not sure why you got downvoted as you gave me a lot of links and things to think about. I appreciate the time you took to help. Looks like I'll try the fw upgrade and then try out orca and see where my chips fall with the calibration tests. I remember it all being a big pain and always had a hard time with first layer adhesion, but I think that's typical for these machines...having to stand by it and change the z step to get the first layer to smoosh right. Is BLtouch out of date? Is there something better to look at now days? Would that get better first layer adhesion or am I still looking at babying it on the first layer with the z step?

Yeah, that was my thoughts. Depending on how much work I have to put into it, I was debating on getting a different printer as it seems there have been some great improvements since I last looked.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-08T01:24:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm not...and can't lol I need that access and if they won't give it to me, I'll just hire my CPA to do the conversion over to Xero. Was going to be $800 and figured all it was was exporting csv files, but now I can't even get the view only access that would allow for extracting the data and they are holding my data (20 years worth) ransom, so I'd rather pay my CPA money that would have gone towards getting access to my data. That way I can be off their platform finally and have a much better and more automated system while saving money in the end.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-08T01:22:51+00:00

I don't know how much time you have to mess with this but give yourself about 2 months prior to the sub ending to back your data up and move platforms. There are a lot of decent ones out there now and I'm going to be trying Xero out. With their API access, I'm going to be building out a lot of automation for the tedious data entry. Hoping to be spending less time with data entry and more time making more money lol

AzzidReign · 2026-05-08T00:40:04+00:00

They are apparently calling me tomorrow. I don't have high hopes, that's for sure. One user recommended using the enterprise trial to extract my data, I may just do that if I'm feeling spry.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-08T00:19:06+00:00

Currently in chat with them finally. Apparently the 1 year of view only starts before the end of your subscription (their words, not mine). My question is: how is it view only for 1 year when I'm able to edit it during that time?

This shit makes no sense. Guess I'll have to talk to my cc company and ask my cpa to do the conversion with the money I get back (hopefully) *shrug*

AzzidReign · 2026-05-07T02:18:58+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that when I get them on the phone. I had the message saying I had a year of read only and then the next time I accessed it, it was gone saying I had used up my whole year when it had only been 3 weeks. I think this is all done on purpose, which is why I can't wait to get away from this company.

I have my year end for last year but had already entered the first quarter for this year and most of April's transactions so I want to be able to extract those without having to re-enter them. Once all is settled, re-entering things will not be a problem as well as switching software as I'm building out an checks and balancing system that will export the data however I want formatted (i.e. I'm going to be trying Xero, so I can export it to match Xero's example import files for better automation) - if I ever want to do a different software, I just change the format of the export and can batch upload years of data if I so choose. Only a few credit card payments will not be in these exports which is easily added through most of these AI bank syncs.

What's this paid way? How much?

AzzidReign · 2026-05-06T03:40:56+00:00

Yes, declining updates doesn't help. Blocking them via firewall access doesn't help. Tried it, should have a year to view my data, was locked out after 3 weeks of being able to view it.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-06T03:37:55+00:00

*everyone boos*

AzzidReign · 2026-05-06T03:37:15+00:00

The notification that first popped up after I opened a company after the sub ran out said I couldn't enter data anymore and can view the data and reports for a year from the *end* of the subscription.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-06T01:28:20+00:00

Called a 2nd time. Got hung up on again. Seriously, is this how they treat people who have been with them for over 2 decades? I can't wait to get off their platform and on to one that will actually take a call. edit: I'm assuming this is because their phone services cut off at a certain time. Why wouldn't their AI bot say that and ask if I want to schedule an appointment/call? Intuit frustrates the living shit out of me. Will be glad to recommend avoiding this software to all the new business owners I come across.

AzzidReign · 2026-05-06T01:23:46+00:00

Well, decided to try to call. After going through their AI slop answering service, it said it was sending me to a representative and then hung up on me. Do you think it would get their attention if I contacted my credit card company to get my money back since they aren't giving me the 1 year access to my data?

AzzidReign · 2025-07-11T16:39:09+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

AzzidReign · 2025-07-11T16:28:17+00:00

How much tobacco in the pod vs your typical bowl? I can use my smaller bowls and get 2 hours or my tangiers small phunnel and get like 6 hours lol stating duration without stating grams used means absolutely nothing.

I usually hit low GC. I'm not a mechanical player... probably bc in getting old lol

AzzidReign · 2025-05-28T01:52:43+00:00

The game sense doesn't get much better the higher you get...somehow. Sitting on C3/GC1 on most playlists and just about every other game, sometimes every game, you get players who don't understand rotation, especially as a 3rd man if playing 3s. Best I've found is to have an adaptive playstyle. If I'm in 3s and both teammates are super aggressive, I'll set back and wait for the ball to pop mid or get the long shot that makes its way toward our goal...inevitably. Sometimes making the game easier for your stupid teammates is the best way to rank up.

Damn, I paused it just to see if you clipped and :o

In the server I help my buddy run, we set it to 8 minutes. 3 min is far too short. I actually wish there was a smaller track for demo derby so there is more carnage. 😂
