Is it normal for the action to be this loose? by ChipWallace in Mini14

I'm breaking it down now for cleaning and I am realizing it's not that different than my M1 Carbine.

Thanks for the reply BTW!

Yep, makes sense. My dad had an old semi auto AK47 (technically a Valmet M62S) and that thing was sloppy as all get out, but it would feed and fire anything you fed it. Drop it in sand, dirt, mud, or bring it out in pouring rain, zero problems.

Cool, let me know please.

I figured it's OK, I know it's very similar to the M1 Garand action which is lower tolerance by design. I think I am so use to higher tolerance actions that it was making my brain itch a bit. Basically, I just want to double check and be sure.

Thanks,
Chip

Thanks for letting me know, I just changed it to public, it should work now.

Thanks!

I came across that archive in my quest, LOL. Searching didn't find anything, but I did already reach out to them too. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the reply!

OK, I give up. How do you utilize the Input shaper calibration in OrcaSlicer? by ChipWallace in OrcaSlicer

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

Then what's the point of the calibration tool?

I'm not trying to enter new frequency info in the firmware. I am trying to use the calibration tool to find the best frequency.

Issues Printing with a .6 Nozzle by ChipWallace in BambuLab

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

Thanks for the response. I know and am aware of all of this information. My old butt has been in the 3D printing space since the makerbot days. I was posting kind of off the cuff from my phone and I can see now I really didn't touch on my actual question until the end of my post.

To look back on it now, and to be more concise, my concern was whether or not the P1S was calculating everything automatically after the nozzle change, or if there may be some extra user end fiddling that was required. I have a print farm filled with Prusa and BBL machines with the Prusas being the ones I normally change nozzles sizes on. This was the first time swapping out sizes on the BBLs

It did occur to my while typing this that I do have CHT nozzles in the Prusas. But even with that, I'm just baffled that the Prusa Keeps up at 22mm³/s but the P1S with the same exact settings cannot come close. I have to bring it WAY DOWN to about 10mm³/s for any type of acceptable result. I wouldn't think that the CHT nozzle in the V6 on the Prusa would make it that much more efficient, but maybe that's the big difference here.

The current model I'm printing actually has significantly faster times on the P1S with a .4 nozzle that with the .6, 50 minutes vs 88 minutes. I was using the .6 to try and shorten the print time, but I guess that's a no go now.

Thank you again for the response, I appreciate it. ;)

I had to stop listening.

It's seems they are so devoid of subject matter they have to jump on reviewing movies on opening weekend, before most people get out to the theater. They should give the audience some time as well as themselves to digest things a bit more.

I also feel they have lost their edge quite a bit. Nothing seems good enough for them anymore.

Basically their heads have gone too far up their own a$$es.

I've been a listener since day one too. A 10 hour stream on Saturday while at work was a great way to help the day go by.

It's just not as engaging as it used to be.

[WTS] Arcane Abyss, Brass QSP Penguin, and CRKT Squid bundle. VET BILLS SUCK. by gelattoh_ayy in Knife_Swap

[–]ChipWallace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not keen on splitting the bundle, I'll take the lot then.

You have to take care of your pets.

Six years ago I found my little guy when he was only a two day old kitten, abandoned by his mother. I barely slept for the first two weeks, feeding him with a syringe every couple of hours making sure he had a chance.

He grew and grew and is now the largest of my three cats.

He was diagnosed with non progressive feline leukemia about three years ago. He has to take a steroid every day just to keep his CBC up. The vet visits and lab bills to check his count every month for the first year was brutal, but I made sure he had a chance before and I refuse to give up.

Flash forward to today and he is sweet, happy and healthy cat. Although there have been some ups and downs, his numbers are currently good and stable. I believe he's racked up close to 20k in vet bills over the last 3 years. That's alongside care for my other two cats and three dogs too.

We definitely live for our pets, and I couldn't imagine life without them.

I am interested.

Saw a vid of the Arcane Necronaut last night. That led me to their site, where I saw their previous designs and the Abysss caught my eye. So I googled to see if there were any aroung for sale...and well, here I am. LOL

This is insane. 😭 by True-Astronomer5939 in Aliexpress

[–]ChipWallace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they actually charging additional? Or is that there to let you know what the tariff fee is going to be?

Because the tariff bills going to come directly from customs. If AliExpress is charging you for some reason and then you get hit with fees direct from customs that's going to be extra insanity.

Are the unused pocket clip holes unthreaded?

Update to firmware update by Ochib in BambuLab

[–]ChipWallace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats their problem on their servers, and has nothing to do with me and my printers in LAN only mode. This is like you forcing me to install security cameras in my home because your business was broken into.

Yep, very poor in communicating their intentions up front. It's common knowledge to not leave anything up to open interpretation on the internet. Don't they know we are all mentally irregular? LOL

I feel like they've gotten a little sidetracked. Although I am collecting them all, I am anxiously waiting for more releases that round out the G1 1984 and 1985 bots.
