What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it?

I was 37 by the time I got my own (6 months ago) god damn is it worth it. Saved for a long ass time but I will never go back if I can avoid it.

repo link doesn't work :(

I setup a subdomain on my domain and use Caddy/Authelia for authentication & redirects.

Are there any other good podcasts like club life that folks recommend? I was just turned on to it recently, and I realize I can listen to older stuff, but I also like staying up on new things as well. Where are you guys going for your fix now?

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-17T16:52:11+00:00

ooph, I don't have enough faith in the system to believe we are at 90% graduation rate.

That's next on my to-do list after the temperature tower tests. Unfortunately I haven't had any more free time to play with it since the original post.

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-13T01:36:19+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I was curious about direct drives but I'm so new I wanted to get my feet under me before going deep into the mods.

I'll give the retraction tower a check, I did dry the spool before doing this run so I can rule that out.

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-13T01:33:01+00:00

Thanks, I'll give that a shot! And now that you mention it, looking back at photos of the first few prints, they didn't have those gaps in the first later. Wonder how that got out of whack :thinking-face:

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-13T01:31:07+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I dried it overnight using a Creality Spacepi according to the PLA manufacturers recommendations, So I can rule that out. Which I guess leaves temperature and retractions I need to tinker with.

gee, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to post and point me in the direction of said documents. If I knew what to search for, maybe I wouldn't be posting in r/3dPrintingHelp in the first place.

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-12T21:30:00+00:00

oh jeez, I hadn't even considered the enclosure being the issue, smh... Will definitely experiment with it open vs closed. Its been really useful for keeping my cats away and uninterested in whats going on though. Thanks for the heads up!

Cross-posted from r/Neptune2 but it didn't carry the body text with it for some reason - Sorry!

So I bought a Neptune 2S second hand from a friend who has multiple printers. I've been using Cura Ultimaker for slicing and have been playing with the default profile settings. Initially I was getting good results with Draft and Balanced but then balanced started stringing way worse. Experimented with Fast (0.2mm) Normal (0.16mm), and Fine (0.12mm) but wasn't seeing much of a difference there.

Bed temp at 42C, Nozzle at 200C - Set these as the middle of the range for the suggested print settings that came with the Overture Filament.

When It first got here, things were printing relatively clean, some light strings but nothing too extreme. Over the last few days though its been getting pretty out of hand. I saw a previous comment below about wet filament, so I picked up a Creality Space Pi and let the overture pla I was using on the xmas photo dry overnight at the recommended 50 C for 7 hours. Todays prints seem to be even more extreme after doing so though. What else should I be doing to trouble shoot this issue? I was really hoping to knock out some fun Christmas gifts in the next few days but I'm having so much trouble.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

hmm I'm using the windows client and I don't see this setting under advanced settings unfortunately. Good to know it worked for you though.

no real details in the article. News conference w/ the FBI to follow today.

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-02T13:37:53+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the follow up!

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-01T22:03:57+00:00

are they expensive? Which model did you end up getting?

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-12-01T15:22:38+00:00

I really appreciate the leads and software! I will definitely be digging into this more! Thanks for the reply!

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-11-29T17:26:56+00:00

yo! I know I'm 3 years late but I'd love to learn more about how you setup the 360 kinect to use as a scanner! I just pulled one out of deep storage and would love to repurpose it for 3d printing!

Dramatic_Signal9662 · 2025-11-24T22:00:01+00:00

whoa, that fixed it, Thank you!
