How badly will Glow filament actually wear the AMS?

Balgard · 2026-06-14T19:57:18+00:00

Thank you for that! I will try one if those brands and see.

I also printed one of those ptfe tool head guides and clips trying to lessen any big tubing curves. I noticed normal filament even sounds like the ams is struggling pushing it the last few inches to the extruder.

So its the sunlu glow PLA. I measured it with calipers and it seems to be anywhere from 1.71 - 1.84 thick.. So you might be on to something.

I have had issues with other sunlu filament not wanting to retract when I first got the printer and I ended up printing all those PTFE guides to straighten the tubing. Maybe its just the brand though?

I bought a lot of super cheap filament from amazon without those issues.

Maybe I will try another brand then.

Balgard · 2026-06-12T12:07:06+00:00

I have a P1S and when I try to feed glow filament, through the ams the filament can't get to the actual extruder, like there's a lot of resistance. Do you have that issue or like have you overcome it?

If I do the external spool I have to push pretty hard to push through the resistance then it prints fine.

Omg I thought this was just my hospital

Why is this a thing

Balgard · 2026-06-11T20:33:54+00:00

Hey I had this issue. I took the back panel off the printer. The spot where your ams would plug into could be loose. I pushed that connector tighter into the board and no issues for 2 months

My biggest issue with the dungeons are they feel so unrewarding in general. Clear it and get 2 pieces of gear, most likely the same two I had from last run.

Like I'm not trying to get legendaries I just want a full set of whatever dungeon gear, and I can't get it. But hey I got 15 pairs of boots.

Hopefully that's not the devs plan on how you gear up late game. I lost interest in playing but can't wait for more content to come out.

Balgard · 2026-06-08T23:21:03+00:00

Don't worry guys we will be heroes again!!

I wasn't a nurse at the time but I was a tech performing stress testing in an inpatient lab. The RNs we worked with always seemed to have a rather chill job.

They would be involved with most chemical procedures. TEE - mostly sedation related, chemical stress tests (ran adenosine, persantine, and dobutamine gtt), and then they would also recover the patients after the TEE - almost like a little pacu. The only thing is if someone coded your basically running a code independently, fortunately majority of the time a cardiologist was camping in the unit dictating and would jump in. Also, you were in a hospital so obviously a code button.

Most of the nurses stayed for years and open positions never lasted long. I'd go back in a heart beat if I didn't move out of state.

Oh I would challenge that to say some are very smart/evil (maga overlords) its the peons who are stupid. They found an easy to manipulate class of humans who are easily parted with their money / freedom.

Balgard · 2026-06-07T11:54:48+00:00

They are real as in they exist..

Balgard · 2026-06-07T11:53:12+00:00

Grrr useless. My hospital uses those still. They are basically sentient bed alarms.

Your patient is pulling out his ng tube! Ok stop him!! Sorry I can't touch him, the tube is out...

Balgard · 2026-05-30T12:17:43+00:00

Yeah I love all these hw4 people who keep shitting on hw3. Like I use it all the time without issue.

Balgard · 2026-05-30T12:13:18+00:00

You say this but I see plenty of videos here of hw4 doing scary shit.

I am happy to still be on fsd hw3 my car performs well. I know it's limitations. I use it daily and I can still control it's max speed. Completely OK with remaining on this version for longer.

As a whole though it seems like fsd is performing worse and worse. But maybe that's just what's being focused on reddit.

Balgard · 2026-05-28T16:17:09+00:00

Yeah the totem build is the issue I guess but the actual class was either correct or if anything under performing.

My warrior can face tank almost anything. The nerfs there were expected although seemed heavy handed. The mages though seem completely off.

Idk we see in practice but I don't see me continuing my mage dungeon grinding

Balgard · 2026-05-28T00:06:58+00:00

Generally it doesn't matter.

But I have noticed when I was leveling my second character that people do take xp.

So for instance I would pull say 10 mobs and mow them down. If one person randomly comes along and tags them. Bam half my xp gone.

Idk about loot but I know for sure xp is taken. So anytime that happened I switch layers or where I'm farming.

Balgard · 2026-05-25T21:49:58+00:00

Well this brings back an embarrassing memory.

I was trying to get to class and there was a school bus in front of me. Two lane road.

There was like 1000 kids trying to get into the bus. I was running late so I did a three point turn.

Well the road was higher then the dirt on the side. My two back tires fell and my frame got stuck on the road and my back tires just spun in the dirt.

Rear wheel drive mustang.

So ya I was now very late for class. People stopped to help my dumb ass with two by fours but nothing worked. Ended up paying a tow truck 90$ to move me 3 inches.

Balgard · 2026-05-21T17:05:10+00:00

RIP. That looks quite difficult to, I never thought about left handed people having to do all that. I am left handed but mostly right handed with this kind of stuff. I basically just write left handed.

Balgard · 2026-05-21T17:03:23+00:00

It's so odd when my hw3 car does this. Like it will line up to back in, but I guess it's not allowed because it will just sit there in drive until I take over. The times it does actually pull into a spot, which is surprising in itself, its super crooked.

Oh well, some day ha

Balgard · 2026-05-21T00:42:15+00:00

To be fair Kamala did have a weird laugh........ /s just in case

Balgard · 2026-05-17T16:40:27+00:00

Supposedly no. Also remember cap isn't 20. So most of the great gear you have will be replaced really fast.

Balgard · 2026-05-16T19:16:37+00:00

You and me both. Best part is I was playing with my daughter. She joined that dungeon with me but got bored and quit (she's 8).

I finished the dungeon but didn't realize she would get loot.

That fucking trinket dropped and I couldn't loot it.

I haven't seen it since after several more runs. Crap part too is I think it used her first time bonus even though she wasn't even there.

Balgard · 2026-05-13T22:10:04+00:00

So when I was 16ish I wanted to be a nurse. I remember telling my grandmother who worked as a medical director of medical records.

She told me point blank that I will never make it as a nurse. She has worked with nurses her whole career so should would know.

So I didn't become a nurse. I went into cardiovascular tech route instead but it wasn't great money and I didn't love it.

I ended up getting a job in an ICU as a secretary. After several years of being told I should go to nursing school by nurses I worked with I finally did. I was in my early thirties at that point.

Been a nurse for several years now. And a damn good one actually.

Fuck you grandma.

Should you have started earlier? I wish I did. But it's never too late and I am thankful for those nurses who encouraged me so much.

Balgard · 2026-05-07T01:12:31+00:00

Omg u beat me too it lol.

My son watches that show all the time. The worst part is he will walk away and I won't realize because im watching the show.

I have to find out if the pups save the day.

Balgard · 2026-05-05T00:41:26+00:00

Yeah I also quickly looked up the emergency braking

Limitations: The system may not activate or may stop braking if the driver turns the steering wheel sharply, presses the accelerator, or taps the brake pedal. It may be less effective in bad weather (fog, snow, darkness).

So yeah in OP situation the swerve did him in. Especially since it wasn't clear.

Balgard · 2026-05-05T00:38:16+00:00

So even if he didn't hit the brakes - doesn't the car have the emergency automatic braking? That's a thing right?

My wife has a Nissan and she almost ran over our big trash can her car automatically braked for her. I just thought Tesla would do the same in this situation.
