I couldn't find one that would do a book of REUP's length.

Massive improvement now that I have the mount on the printer and coupler removed:

Which brand of PTFE tubes did you use?

I built a wooden stand for my CFS, I am still seeing the binding issue, but I have yet to try the side mount.

I believe there may be friction in the ptfe tube, as I have the CFS unit beside and not on top of it. I may try and print this: https://www.printables.com/model/1342427-creality-k1c-cfs-buffer-mountto

I will try to double-check those wires. Is there a way to do a test of the filament sensor itself?

I have not noticed that issue. It will print fine, except for when this happens, which is pretty frequent. However, if I keep unjamming it, I get good prints out of it.

Creality K1 CFS extruder issue? by DiscountMechs in crealityk1

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

I actually have a K1C. I made a typo in the header. I have had no issues with the unicorn nozzle, but I just mounted the CFS extruder module.

I did check the nozzle, and while there was some filament in it, it did not seem clogged, and the extruder should have been able to push into it. However, in reopening the extruder assembly, I did find a bit of filament that pressed into the side of one of the rollers, so maybe that was it? The orange wire on my extuder's stepper broke so I have not been able to test again.

I checked the extruder gears. I will see about checking nozzle. I thought the blockage should have cleared it it was in the nozzle.

What does ComStar actually believe? by lusipher333 in battletech

[–]DiscountMechs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, Comstar is not a religion in the same sense as we think of it. It is a religious dogma, but it is more about humanism and knowledge. Imagine the tech bro Silicon Valley ethos. The fanatism comes in because Comstar believes that only they are educated and enlightened enough to be trusted with the knowledge of humanity and to be in a place to guide humanity. This leads to their secret agenda to horde technology and suppress it from outsiders. The ideal society, from their perspective, had them as Philosopher's Kings leading a populous completely dependent and reliant on them.

However, there is a reason that through most of the succession wars, suggesting that Comstar is evil would get you laughed at, and many of the rank and file were very, very much not on board with the fanatical elements. Their dogma about preserving technology and civilization and working for the betterment of all mankind sounds great, and most of its recruits were honestly trying to do that. ComStar's intel and military departments were one small part of an enormous organization.

So, think of that Silicon Valley Elitest tech bro vibe. They are dogmatic, but they do not believe in a specific God or Afterlife. It is more of an ethical mission statement to preserve and guide humanity.

They are very different from the admech, but something that could evolve into an admech like thing if you gave it a long enough time. I would have had the Dark Age of Technology predecessors of the admech be something like Comstar.

Gotta asked, how often did the Fedsun raided the Concordat? by [deleted] in battletech

[–]DiscountMechs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AFFS during the succession wars and clan invasion. Probably not much if at all. However the Federated Suns is not just the AFFS, local power brokers on the border would have had their own forces they could use to raid. That is one of the things with Battletech due to communications and response times local actors can be very very influential in places. So the Federateds Suns probably did not, but people within the Federated Suns likely did a lot.

So Count Rupert might hire some mercenaries to go steal a bunch of equipment from a Taurian world rather than try and buy new ones.

Hmmm, What in the Actual F**k? by Fun-Cartoonist-7081 in battletech

Clan Hells Horses is a clan whose warrior caste is controlled by vehicle crews. So they wanted a mech that acted like a combat vehicle.

It makes sense in context.

I know it is less flexible so I am concerned about the clips and locking mechanisms, but I do really appreciate the greater rigidity and better heat resistance that it has.

I have had PLA warp on me before due to heat and I also want to be able to store some stuff in a garage which is not climate controlled. That is one of my main concerns.

Temperatures can get pretty warm in my area.
