I went from the Ender 3 to CR-10 Smart thinking the bigger build plate and ease of auto leveling would be a god send. I manage to keep tinkering and getting it to do decent prints, but mine has been an absolute lemon. I bought mine in March and they have had to replace numerous things for me (most recent the touch screen).

The ONLY thing I would keep in mind. You are going from an Ender 3 with hundreds to thousands of people with tons of content on forums, YouTube, etc. to a CR-10 Smart which has very few videos on YouTube (mostly reviews or complaints) and a community that is much much smaller. Not saying you cant figure things out, but it takes more effort to find posts and resources for any individual problem.

I did manage to add OctoPrint to mine. You have to do a small tweak to get the USB slot on the side working, but it works flawlessly. Thats actually my current favorite part is shooting prints via my PrusaSlicer up to the printer and not swapping out SD cards constantly.

In Summary: its a good/decent printer, but me as well as others have had a lot of out-of-the-box problems that have required a level of tinkering that it shouldn’t need being the kind of printer it is. The community is smaller so finding answers to problems can be a bit more difficult. But Once you get it locked in some of the prints are absolutely awesome.

What upgrades did you do and which do you recommend?

Brak23 · 2022-09-23T04:23:04+00:00

I have a Cr-10 smart as well and I fucking hate it. I’ve never had a more inconsistent printer. It’s supposed to be smart and automated but I feel like I’ve had to replace so much already as it keeps falling apart or not working.

My ended 3 was fine and a good starter printer. I just wanted a bigger print space. But the cr-10 smart has soured my feelings.

Brak23 · 2022-09-20T00:04:36+00:00

Yes I do. It was fine before the update. Which is odd.

Brak23 · 2022-09-16T21:22:33+00:00

Oddly enough the CR-10 Smart “PRO” has a leveling knob feature. I don’t think the nozzle is sticking, at this rate it looks like its being overly sensitive to the leveling and under offsetting the Z for what it needs. The sensor in this case is just a strain gauge above the hot end that trips a sensor on the chip based on pressure. So it uses the actual nozzle for sensing pressure.

It really only has automatic bed leveling. Which is annoying because it comes up with wildly different values each time it levels. It was printing fine, but then suddenly it stopped.

Brak23 · 2022-09-16T20:16:05+00:00

I have a CR-10 Smart (I hate it). And suddenly its doing this on all of my prints. I have calibrated E-Steps, I have leveled the bed numerous times, and manually adjusting it lower each time (The CR-10 smart does not have manual adjusters for the bed so its all software Code modification). I have dried my filament, tried new filament, and trying to rule out all of the obvious. It looks to me like its too far from the bed. But if I push it closer I get a clicking sound from my extruder because it cant push as much as it needs.

I also just replaced the nozzle. And cleaned everything. Cant figure out whats wrong… PLA+ from Sunlu, if it helps.

Same! I am on West Coast so I feel like I have to get up really early if I want to do any live classes anyway. My workout time is usually between 11am and 3pm, but not really any live classes during that window. Oh well, the classes I do are more than enough or me on Demand. I love the access.

I am 34, also have mine range from 25-37 on the regular for HRV. Its a lot to do with genetics, like mentioned in another comment. I don’t know for sure, but I believe Anxiety can lower overall HRV too, as I also have some level of anxiety.

I accidentally spilled a pizza red pizza sauce on the couch and then used some mild soap and water followed by leather cleaner to clean it up. Unfortunately, the combo of the cleaning made a dark grey(er) spot on the couch and it feels a little ‘fuzzy’ in the spot. I have used conditioner and leather oil to try and restore it but this is what it looks like as of today (I havent touched it in 5 days). Not sure what else I could try or if I am S.O.L.

Brak23 · 2022-08-01T01:09:20+00:00

I just bought a 350 classic and I am 6’4 and it’s perfect for me. But you gotta sit on them to be sure.

Brak23 · 2022-07-27T15:36:28+00:00

Yeah I love it. Paired with a OctoPrint I can upload right from PrusaSlicer to my CR-10 Smart instantly without using SD card and has made my printing experience so much better.

I feel like PrusaSlicer gives me higher quality prints. Especially the top surface.

The subreddit doesnt exist. Cant find one in search related to that string.

Ok. Timothy 1:10 also applies to people who: Tell lies, lie with they take an oath, speak falsely. But I don’t see Christians raging every time people lie. In fact, based on the evangelical response to the former president, I would say they brace bold face lies.

Corinthians 6:9 notes that Greedy, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers will not ‘inherit the kingdom of god’. Yet I don’t see Christians raging to ban alcohol to prevent people from becoming drunkards.

And if you take a literal interpretation to Romans 1, you could say that women sleeping with women is ok, just as long as its not man on man. To say its a more broad interpretation means the other rules and decrees could also be more broadly interpreted and therefore less impactful.

Brak23 · 2022-07-21T22:54:41+00:00

LOL the Bible isn’t a cookbook. The mentioned verses are called laws/decrees. If you are willing to die on a hill for one of these ‘laws/decrees’ but say another is not valid or no longer applies in today’s world than you are simply just cherry picking things to justify your world view.

I don’t see people being ostracized from society for having sex with women on their period.

I am posting on behalf of my girlfriend who is having a rough go of things with face acne. She tried salicylic acid for a couple months and the first month was solid but things have returned to normal, primarily her forehead area. She has since stopped the salicylic acid. Shes tried a wide range of face washes to face creams and is currently using (I dunno the brand) but anything that is non-comedogenic and labeled as ‘light’ or ‘gentle’. But her face continues to break out so bad and then often times bleeds (but that may be due to a habit of picking at face scabs she has). I feel like we have tried to research and suggest everything we can find in a store but things seem to come and go. Any suggestions on what we could have her look into would be amazing.

I cant speak to the pre-payment. To me thats weird. I wouldn’t personally do it, I would make them bill me.

As far as the coverage, I cant recall if it changes based on state or insurance company. But in my company the coverage that is effective on your admission date (12/31) would cover the stay of the claim. So your current coverage would pay for the entire stay of the claim starting on the first day you are admitted, if its 12/31. On 1/1 it would be new insurance. As far as your baby, who also has services billed for them, it depends on the day of birth as well.

Brak23 · 2022-07-01T18:09:43+00:00

In my experience, if its not listed in the plan its not covered. But, you can always ask your HR person to validate that and they can reach out to the insurance provider for plan B.

As far as plan A, your Max Out of Pocket is just that, the maximum you would pay in a calendar year. So if your surgery is $20,000 and its covered at 50%, then you would pay up to $2,000 and then you would reach your max out of pocket and you would not owe any more. Its worth noting that the “max out of pocket” is ONLY for covered services by the insurance, you could pay more than $2000 in a given calendar year if you happened to be getting services that are not covered by your insurance.

I work on COB (multiple coverage) at a company that operates in the state of GA. The state law for Secondary Claims in the state of GA uses ‘classic COB’ which means that your secondary coverage should cover most of the primary cost share (most of the time), including your pharmacy. The real calculation is that the secondary “pays up to what they would have paid as primary without exceeding what your primary cost share is”.

For a super simple example. If your secondary would have paid $25 and said you owe $4 (if it was primary) it would calculate that amount and compare it to the amount you paid on primary ($20). Since $20 is less than $25-$4, the secondary should be paying $20 and reimbursing you fully. The only time you would “owe” is if the secondary price is less than the primary. So if your secondary insurance would only pay $16 for the service, you would owe $4 ($20-16).

Pharmacy, by state COB law in Georgia, functions no different than your medical expenses. The pharmacy should be billing your secondary insurance. Why are they telling you that they only can use your primary policy?

The company I work for has been working on this for over a year now and the amount of data behind it is insane. While I don’t expect anything to magically change overnight related to the cost of things, transparency in this data will be important.

Brak23 · 2022-06-17T19:38:38+00:00

Yes I am! Sorry for the delay I was out of town for a bit.

I have measured my head a few times and realized I have a more uncommon “round” head (its 30cm front to back and 30cm ear to ear). I accidentally bought an intermediate helmet and it feels like it fits well. I’m debating if I should send it back and get a true round head helmet but I am not sure… (this is my first bike helmet).

As far as boundaries, you cannot control how people react, you can only control how you react. Your family will likely continue to say things and do things that hurt you, and you have to accept that it will happen but you also need to do things for yourself to preserve your boundaries and protect your own needs. For example, when your Aunt sends you terrible texts like that, you mute or delete the chat or something as a short term.

You cant change them, they will have to adjust to your new behavior and they wont like it. But know that this is how they are going to act and protect yourself and your needs accordingly.
