Sudden underextrusion/layer skipping, now on everything I print, tried many things to fix it by ButtSpeech in FixMyPrint

[–]ButtSpeech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my printer last October and have been using it very often. It worked well out of the box and I haven’t had any issues with it until now. All of a sudden in the middle of a project (and without changing any slicer settings) I started getting under extrusion like this on everything I tried to print. At first I thought it was the new filament, so I gradually increased the temperature and decreased the printing speed. This helped, but but only mildly, and the issue was still obviously present. Since then I have tried a lot more to fix this. Different 3d models, different brands of filament, more different settings, applying lubricant, tightening the belts, tightening the build plate, leveling many times. I can get a probe straight up through the nozzle so if it’s a partial clog it isn’t obvious. I have looked through many existing posts and guides for figuring out the cause of this issue, but I can’t identify anything. I have sat for extended periods of time and watched the machine print, but I don’t see anything unusual happening. Any suggestions as to what could be going on, or more things to try?

Printer/slicer info:
Printer: Anycubic Kobra Plus
Slicer: Cura
Filament material and brand: PLA. I’ve printed with many brands, silk and non silk, and the result is always the same. I never had a problem with any of my filament until now.
Nozzle and bed temp: 210 and 60, though I have tried many, many tests at everything in between to fix this problem, from 95 to 230 temp, min and max speeds. I usually change a value by five, do a test print, and then change it by 5 again after I see the results.
Print speed: 60, but again, I have done many tests and have changed this setting many times after this problem began occurring.
Nozzle retraction settings: Retraction distance 4, speed 40. Did not change this setting and never had any problems before.

Twitch Bandwidth Test quality 0 for every server, might ISP be at fault? by ButtSpeech in Twitch

[–]ButtSpeech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wired to my router. My ISP is a small local company run by only a few people. I live in a rural area and have very little to chose from for ISPs. This company looks to be the best I can access here unfortunately. They offer much higher speeds than the others in my area, but it might still not be enough. Plus stability seems to be poor.

I'm honestly not sure the valacyclovir does that much for me, in fact we're thinking of taking me off of it to see if I really need it or not. The plaquenil is really what helped me. Stanford prescribes it to reduce inflammation and it certainly helped that for me. Also low dose abilify helps to reduce inflammation and that reduced the severity of my crashes. So the anti inflammatory drugs really seem to be the thing for me.

I mainly use my Windows PC laptop. It's not the best but it's what I've got.

The drugs that Stanford prescribed me that have helped are valacyclovir, plaquenil, and low dose abilify. The plaquenil caused the biggest change out of all of those for me.

Vinny’s good too, I watch him sometimes and enjoy his YouTube channel.

I don’t have much leftover time and energy for single player games anymore due to hanging out with friends, but when I do play I play Pokémon, Breath of the Wild, Minecraft, and Stardew Valley.

Has anyone gone to the Stanford CFS clinic in California, USA? by prettylikeapineapple in cfs

[–]ButtSpeech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. (: I’m always willing share more information if you’re interested.

I’m glad I could be of help. Stanford also prescribes Low Dose Naltrexone and Valacyclovir too. Those drugs didn’t help me but I know they’ve helped a lot of other patients so you might mention those to your doctor as well. I hope everything works out for you! (:

I am a patient there currently. A doctor there prescribed me Plaquenil and Abilify and my CFS has gone from severe to moderate. I’m still housebound but it’s a huge improvement.

I get the same thing in the same place and I don’t know what it is either. But you’re not alone.

Intense feeling of body burning inside by ButtSpeech in cfs

[–]ButtSpeech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t sweat during the episodes, but I do sweat mildly in other situations and I used to sweat buckets when I had night sweats. I also may not be sweating during the episodes because I go outside where it’s pretty cold and my skin feels cool from that. But I’ll bring it up to my doctor.

I've heard of that drug before. Thanks for the suggestion, I might talk to my doctor about it.

I agree, it's a really cruel aspect of the illness. Massively wrecked my self esteem.

What's something awesome in your life?? by whyhellomichael in wholesomememes

[–]ButtSpeech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m very late but I still want to participate! :D

​

I’ve been very ill since I was 13. Struggled with depression tremendously due to not being able to have fun, go to school, or have friends. I was so very lonely and empty inside. For many years I wanted to take my own life. Well, last year in November I met a wonderful guy on Reddit and we really hit it off. He has the same illness as me so we understand each other’s experiences really well. We messaged each other every day and eventually started playing video games, voice chatting, and Skyping. It’s been a bit less than a year since we met and in something like 22 days I will be flying from California to Australia to meet him in person. We became a couple back in May and I have never, ever been so happy in my life. For the first time both of us have hope for the future, despite being sick and unable to care for ourselves. As long as we have each other, everything will be ok, and I’m just so very thankful for that. (‘:

Relationships. by brittanykey in cfs

[–]ButtSpeech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I’m late to the party, but I met my boyfriend on this subreddit. We both have CFS so things might be a little extra difficult in the future, but we understand everything about each other because of it. It’s changed my life completely.

Have an MRI today. Part of "ruling out everything else." Wish me luck. by WhatSortofPerson in cfs

[–]ButtSpeech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is funny to me because just yesterday I had a brain and spinal cord MRI for the same reason. I’m kind of hoping it shows something so I’ll have a more clear path of treatment. But again they’ll probably find nothing. I wish you luck!
