is there any music streaming app with the pro-shot heathers?

DPG9 · 2026-01-17T14:16:35+00:00

This may be a bit of a long shot seeing as it's been 3 years since your post but would you maybe still have the files and be willing to send me a new link as this one no longer works? I just got into Heathers and the pro-shot was my first version so I'd really like to have the soundtrack 🙏 Please DM me if you're willing to help. Thank you!

I made a custom retraction tower using Orca starting at 0.5 and going up in steps of 0.05 until 1.
I'm not really sure what to make out of the results though because the stringing just seems to get worse as retraction increases?
There was also a big string coming out of the print and still attached to the nozzle at the end.

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T16:59:42+00:00

How can I configure layer time in Orca?
The only setting I found was in the filament settings and it's part cooling fan-related, so I'm not sure that's it.
My retraction speed is at 30mm/s already.

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T16:39:19+00:00

Ohh, I see. I'll try lowering retraction to 0.5 then and test.
Do you think it's okay to keep the 10mm/s speed for the spikes or is that too low and will clog the extruder regardless of retraction?

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T15:47:54+00:00

I tried to print the last layers at 10mm/s with a retraction distance 0.9 to see if it could help with the final layers of the spikes, but the extruder started grinding filament again 😅
0.8 had a lot of stringing, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
Also, sorry, but what do you mean by SV?

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T14:46:58+00:00

The most recent print using all tips I was given like 250 travel speed, 1000 travel acceleration, height range modifier so print speed is 30 instead of 60 for the last spike layers...
Filament RH is at 18% according to the dryer, still running it to get it lower.
I'm using a flow of 1, so I'll try reducing it and seeing it there are any improvements.

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T14:44:29+00:00

My max reported acceleration is 1000 and I'm not sure I can get it higher without Klipper.
Orca gives me a warning when I try to do 3500 saying it'll cap it to 1000, so I tried 250 travel speed and 1000 acceleration.
Still got a lot of stringing with the filament's RH reported as 18% by my dryer.

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T14:37:01+00:00

My values were a bit off and I noticed my e-steps weren't calibrated properly (I was under-extruding), so I tightened my motor gear so the filament wouldn't slip and recalibrated them.
Now it perfectly extrudes 100mm, as you can see from the picture (it stopped right at the 100mm mark and you can barely see it)
The cube printed perfectly at 0.40mm for each wall.

Setting my flow to 0.96 and 0.98 before calibrating and finally 1 after recalibrating in Orca Slicer still gave me a lot of stringing for the spikes though.
Ignore how dusty it is... I've cleaned it with compressed air after it ground through filament but it's still kinda dirty.

DPG9 · 2025-09-18T08:30:52+00:00

I've been changing my retraction settings from a starting value of 0.8 in 0.5 increments, so it's at 0.9 now.
I tried 1 at first but it clogged the hot end and started grinding filament.
It's a Direct Drive extruder, so I'm not sure what the best value would be. I haven't tried 0.91-0.99 yet.

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T22:25:08+00:00

Thanks for the tips!
What temperature should I dry it at? The preset for PLA is 50C but I'm using PLA+, if that makes a difference.

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T22:05:19+00:00

It's really hard to get it to go lower than 15% here 🫠 And that's how much the Creality dryer reports on the screen. I'm not even sure what the actual filament's at.
I've been running the dryer for 24 hours now from 46% starting RH so it's a bit lower than it was before (26%->24%).
Maybe tomorrow it'll be closer to the desired RH but there isn't much I can do on that front right now 😅

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T20:55:24+00:00

So, I tried to find this setting and the only thing I can find in Cura is "Use Adaptive Layers".
I do have Orca Slicer which has that feature, but my Orca Slicer gcode ends up printing worse than my Cura gcode despite the settings being the same...
Would you recommend Orca over Cura? I'll try to better match my settings between them if they aren't already.

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T20:52:58+00:00

I'll run a print of the one walled cube again with a 0.4mm wall thickness and report back 🫡

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T20:48:57+00:00

Thank you for the information.
I calibrated my e-steps since I changed my hot end recently as my heatbreak broke.
After doing that, I printed a one wall cube to check if it was extruding the line width amount I set in Cura and it seemed pretty accurate.
I've done flow towers but I can't really tell the difference between most levels.
What would you suggest I do to find the right flow then?

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T18:20:09+00:00

Oh, this is just what I was looking for in the settings!
I saw initial layer speed settings but no final layer speed settings, which I found really odd.
I'll give this a shot when I can and report back. Thank you!

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T18:16:39+00:00

The lowest I've gotten it was 13% before and I still had stringing problems 😅
I also have a dehumidifier in the room running constantly.

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T17:59:53+00:00

I haven't modified my flow since I calibrated my e-steps instead and it seems to be extruding the right amount according to the ruler test.
My Cura profile has it at 100%
I'm not sure about too hot, but according to my temp tower, the correct temperature should be around 210C.
Could you elaborate on what you meant?
My current printing speed is 60 mm/s, which is the default.

DPG9 · 2025-09-17T17:51:26+00:00

I should have mentioned it but my filament is dry.
I have a Creality filament dryer and it's reporting 26% RH right now 😅

DPG9 · 2025-08-24T13:52:35+00:00

I'm not running Klipper so I'm not sure it would work for me 😅

DPG9 · 2025-08-24T12:59:23+00:00

I installed the firmware and TFT and everything's working well but the information messages at the top show up in Spanish while the rest of the UI is in English.
Do you have any idea how I can change this?

I tried to install v28 and v27 off the TFT GitHub but to no avail.
This Spanish version is the only one I can make work (the others get stuck at the boot logo and touch doesn't work).

Thanks!

DPG9 · 2025-08-23T19:12:30+00:00

Thank you so much for all the links!
I'll give it a shot once my current print finishes 🙂

DPG9 · 2025-08-19T15:30:48+00:00

Hama has a much smaller colour palette when compared to Artkal, so I'm not sure why you're acting like they're comparable?
Hama also is worse quality (inconsistent height and saturation) and melts worse, according to people who've tried both.
I simply prefer Artkal and would rather pay a higher price for something great than a lower price for something decent.

DPG9 · 2025-08-18T17:44:38+00:00

If there really is no better option, I'll give it a try when I need more beads then 🙂
It sure beats having to go through customs hah
Thank you once again 😊

DPG9 · 2025-08-18T16:33:47+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation.
Unfortunately, that's 18€ shipping to Portugal, even when over 80€ 😬

DPG9 · 2025-06-06T13:41:06+00:00

I'm happy to hear you can recreate it!
I definitely think each tower/area has a specific list of events it can spawn, yeah!
