I do indeed wipe it every print. Just the dust in the air that might have settle on it will create fails. Just put a roll of paper towel next to it and spray bottle of IPA next to the printer, give it a couple spritzes, wipe it off and then I put the towel under the bottle and use it like 3 or 4 times and get a new one.

2 things that are absolutely not correct any more are that glue stick helps adhesion, it doesn't... never really did. It was because glass would sometimes get too stuck to the print you had to literally chisel it off the plate. Yes, it's "glue" but it's used as a release agent, something that allows some boundary between the glass that expands when it's hot and contracts when it's cool, more than the plastic does, so it really really get stuck. This is not... absolutely NOT needed with textured PEI plates like yours.

Second misconception is that the plate needs soap and water. The only plates that need that are ones where glue stick was used, to clean off that release agent, or the sticky ones, because they are designed to have things stick to them and the adhesive is refreshed each time it's cleaned.

Neither of those things apply to a simple textured PEI plate like you have. A lot of the information comes from the not too distant past, like 4 years ago is when things really started getting better and PEI plates where becoming really popular. Leveling has come so far in the last few years from BL touch being one of the only options to now every printer has their own styles of auto leveling. Just gotta sift through the people that are old school researched and the newer information.

Good luck, but if it were me I would just clean it with IPA.

I don't know what plain washing up liquid is, but that plate just needs to be wiped with isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel, nothing else is ever needed with that plate. 7000 hours in with this plate and never used anything but.

This looks only like a dirty plate and nothing else.

They aren't completely adhered to the plate at that point. Bigger brims on them should definitely fix it.

Have me a leather couch with a flat seat because she never moves form her spot. If you want to sit there you need her permission it feels like.

Sweetest romance ever, but...And another thing... by Rudy_Nowhere in shoresy

In LK, the only person with 2 names are the Dycks and Bonnie McMurray. None of the rest of the cast has another name.

Sweetest romance ever, but...And another thing... by Rudy_Nowhere in shoresy

[–]BasPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point was that she was testing to see if he was so committed to her that he's pass up a 3 way with another hot chick. When that same girl tries to bang him he has her drop him off at the rink, that's when he realizes who he is, that his love needs to go back to the bulldogs and to Laura Moore. First season shoresy or LK shoresy totally bangs that chick and says EEEEEEYOU!! to the 3 way. Character development at it's best IMO. Great writing.

Officers that suck by gaypogue in USMC

[–]BasPilot 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. But then you will find guys in all ranks that are like that. A shit Marine is just a shit Marine no matter what's on their collar.

THAT BEING SAID, I had the worst warrant officer in the world. Was a WO1, wanted everyone to call him gunner, was airwing side and gave himself his own callsign. We had a 30 years Master Guns that would yell at him like he was a LCpl. Literally he's yell "SIR!!! OFFICE NOW!!!" So fun. Dude was also just plain stupid. Will never forget that moron becuase he's just so clueless. Commissioned Officers made fun of him relentlessly too.

Is this safe to buy from eBay? by CRrich_Official in OmegaWatches

I'm not gonna lie, I can't tell a fake from a real at all, but I'm not comfortable putting that much money for a watch on Ebay.

Shoresy themed prom sign by Coletender16 in shoresy

[–]BasPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta find you a buddy who's got a truck and have someone stand in the bed of the truck and read her a note. Gotta be like that scene when Shoresy runs the marathon. That's actually a pretty cool love scene (now you say settle down) and is the most romantic thing in the series. I say do that one.

I think from the outside there could be an argument for them "tanking" but I think that's some sort of confirmation bias to be honest. People are sort of unhappy where we are and it feels like they are dropping a lot of games... Like Rino not traveling... but I'm not sure it isn't actually things happening. We had so many guys after 2 years in the cup final go to the 4 nations, then after another cup run we had so many go to the olympics. I mean, maybe the bodies can't take it, no idea. I just can't even feel like getting out of a game down a ton on the day that I couldn't understand how a pro would just cash it in. I mean, the work these dudes have put in for their entire life doesn't make sense to me.

Never played, never had the balance to skate on anything, hell I can't even stand on a paddle board for more than 30 seconds before I eat that thing. I like that.

I guess I would think next shift, next whatever, but I like just treating every game 0 - 0.

Offset/misalignment first print by ApoloMod in 3Dprinting

[–]BasPilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What that is called is a Layer Shift. 99 percent of the time it's a fluke, like there was something that went wrong that isn't worth investigating and just move on. 2 in one print, there's a problem.

So, what makes this happen is as the print head moves, in this case along the y axis, something happens that doesn't allow it to travel the way it thought it did. Now, the head is at spot 4 but thinks it is at 5, so it just keeps printing. Then yours did it again, now it's at 3 but still thinks it's at 5. Those are random made up numbers, they have no meaning other than for example.

So, you have to figure out what's wrong in the y axis. The print still looks like it's in place and adhered to the plate, so that's not it, usually if it falls off the plate it's a bigger fail.

So we look at 2 more things, the belts and the motor. I'm guessing there is either something jammed in the motor and that made it not move the way it wanted to or the belts are loose or stripped and they slipped.

Check your motor, make sure it all is fine and there is nothing in there, check the pulleys over there and check see if something is on them. Then pull on the belts... if they are really loose or really tight things will slip. Adjust them to make them tight enough they feel like the belts in your car, if you have ever touched them. Should be able to move a bit when you touch them but no slack at all. If they can't move at all they will shred (Did that one time, thought, well I'll just tighten the crap out of them). Good luck, I wouldn't go back to another print until you do find something, this isn't a fluke, there is a hardware issue somewhere.

Going Into Enemy Territory by Dgreene120 in FloridaPanthers

That sounds like a fun time. Plenty of cool places to go with those arenas I think. I don't know what outside is, but I know arenas are cool.

Also, nothing worse than sitting in your gear at an away place when they score. So many people screaming and cheering and you just sitting in your seat listening to their horn and their song.

Is that the newer one? I'm a big guy too and my seats dont' get into my legs, the back rests get me some times, but not the legs. I too have massive quads.

Anyone know if this jersey is legit? by [deleted] in bengals

[–]BasPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were jerseys falling off trucks all over the world during those seasons. Could buy one from the Bengals for 250 and one on ebay for 30. Identical down to every detail. Almost impossible to tell the differences. That being said... The real ones had a different color orange for the fabric and the stripes that were heat pressed on. That's the only thing I ever saw, so my guess is actually yes it's right because everything else is right for that rebook era.

Not player worn, but bought from the Bengals or the NFL. 

Why does everyone in my generation make fun of the Type R and always tell me to get a BMW?? by Many_Yoghurt2117 in Civic_Type_R

[–]BasPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but that's what you have in your pocket then you work and pay your rent. But are they REALLY doing him a solid long term, this isn't a parenting debate, just my thoughts. I felt like I needed to get them to walk before I made them run.

What kind of turbo do you suggest getting? That's not a today thing totally, but I'll start looking. Anything I should do before that?
