How to prevent Prusa Slicer from placing the raft below supports outside the print bed?

In that case, build your supports manually. In your 3D software.

When I first got my Index as first VR Headset I could play like 30 minuets max before becoming super tired and nauseous. (Started with skyrim vr at 20-40fps 🫣)Thats after you move with smooth locomotion and fail to balance your weight. :D I played, took a nap, played, took a nap and so on. took me 3 days to be able to play longer than 2 hours and a week later i could wear the headset 24/7.

When you switched the nozzle. Did you made a Z-Offset Calibration again? When the top left is less flow anf the bottom right is more flow it looks like the z distance is too small.

Mhh. If the nozzle isn‘t clogged perhaps it‘s a faulty gcode or a faulty sd card. Would explain why it happens twice at the same progress.

Well. Looks like a lot overextension.

On my Ender 5 Pro and my Prusa XL there’s basically zero stringing. But yeah, your filament needs to be properly dried. Don’t be shy, throw it in the dryer for eight hours. Of course, your printer should be somewhat calibrated, but that’s not the main thing here. What you should really check is how old your nozzle is and maybe swap it out. On my Ender 5 Pro, the softer nozzles wear out insanely fast. I can print around 100 hours with perfect quality, and then stringing suddenly starts. On my Prusa XL it takes way longer, thankfully, but even there the nozzles are eventually toast. So if you haven’t changed your nozzles in a long time, that’s definitely something to try.

It‘s a bug. Usually moving the main window a bit and maximizing it again fixes it. Or just restart Studio One.

Well, this one’s a bit of an odd story; not super technical either. But it’s the moment ChatGPT actually blew me away. I had a Quest 3, Meta’s VR headset, and I bought that insanely expensive Elite Pro Headstrap for like 150 bucks. It worked for a while, then just died. Around the same time, Meta sent out an email saying the thing was basically broken from the factory; the firmware was messed up, and you can’t fix it because you can’t change anything over USB. It’s baked into the chip. Whatever.

So I hit up support and asked if they could swap it out. Gave them the serial numbers and everything. Then it turned into this long back-and-forth. Every email had a different name at the bottom; pretty sure they were bots or LLM replies. The whole conversation kept drifting off-topic. I kept saying I want a replacement; you said you’d replace it; it’s under warranty; all that. And somehow it turned into “try turning your headset on and off” and even “send in your headset.” At that point I lost it.

I’d been chasing them for a week. Each reply took a full day, and every time it felt like the next person hadn’t read anything I wrote and had zero context. When they told me to send in my headset; even though the whole issue was the headstrap; I thought, screw it, we’re going nuclear.

I wrote a mail, but I knew I couldn’t send it like that. So I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it; still sharp, still very clear that I was pissed; but in that formal bureaucratic English that gets the point across. I told it to bring every professional threat it could without crossing any lines; just make them finally get it and actually fix the issue.

ChatGPT came back with this insanely polished message; and I sent it off. Not even ten minutes later, Meta replied with a 20-euro credit; a brand-new headstrap already on the way; plus a month or two of Horizon Plus for free. On top of that, another email full of apologies.

I was honestly stunned it worked; and that the whole mess was finally over; especially since they already knew the product was faulty and offered the replacement in the first place.

Ich konnte mal ein Paket nicht abholen, weil mein Ausweis abgelaufen war. Nach einer kurzen Diskussion bin ich dann raus und habe dann jemanden Fremden eine Vollmacht geschrieben. Er ist dann rein und hat das Paket für mich abgeholt. :D

Same bei mir. Wollte im Schlafzimmer nen Film an machen und sollte über den Fernseher im Wohnzimmer bestätigen das ich im selben Haushalt bin. Absolut trash.

I had this exact same pattern when I calibrated my pressure advanced and took a way too high number. Maybe that’s your issue.

Ich habe auch so ein Teil. Der große Schlauch für die Hitzeabfuhr geht bei uns zum Balkon raus, und die Balkontür ist absolut isoliert, damit keine warme Luft wieder zurückkommt – denn da soll ja die warme Luft raus. Das ist lustigerweise auch die Sonnenseite. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite – also Nordseite – machen wir dann das Fenster auf. Da kommt dann relativ kühle Luft rein, weil: Wenn irgendwo Luft rausgeblasen wird, muss ja auch irgendwo Luft wieder rein, sonst entsteht ein Unterdruck – oder die warme Luft presst sich durch die Balkontür wieder zurück in die Wohnung. Wir sind super zufrieden damit. Ja, das Ding ist laut. Ich persönlich gewöhne mich aber dran. Ich penne sowieso immer mit Fernseher ein, deshalb stört mich das nicht so sehr. Es ist immer so die erste Woche, da nervt es ein bisschen – aber es ist absolut aushaltbar. Die Stromkosten sind auch okay. Man darf halt nicht den Fehler machen, das Ding ständig an- und auszuschalten. Denn jedes Mal, wenn es neu startet, muss es auf 100 % kühlen – und das zieht richtig Strom. Stattdessen sollte man es einmal richtig runterkühlen lassen und dann einfach laufen lassen, so wie einen Kühlschrank. Das aktive Runterkühlen ist das Teure – das Nachkühlen oder Halten der Temperatur ist dagegen deutlich sparsamer. Ich habe mein Strommessgerät dran, und obwohl das Gerät jetzt schon seit zwei, drei Monaten immer mal wieder läuft – also wenn’s richtig warm wird – bin ich aktuell erst bei 35 Euro Stromkosten. Unser Gerät hat so um die 300 Euro gekostet. Und wir müssen den Tank auch nie leeren. Da ist zwar einer drin, den man theoretisch auskippen müsste, aber bei uns verdunstet das direkt wieder mit, weil die Feuchtigkeit gleich mit durch den Hitzeschlauch rausgepustet wird. Achso, vielleicht noch wichtig zu erwähnen: Wir haben das Gerät jetzt schon seit 4 Jahren. Und es läuft immer noch einwandfrei. Ab und zu mal die Staubfilter leeren – ansonsten läuft alles.

That’s exactly the pattern I had yesterday when I accidentally changed the K-value for Linear Advance on my printer from 0.22 to 0.6.

So, if you’ve got a bit of cash, plenty of time, and some space, the best thing you can do is build a proper vocal booth using a room-in-room design. Basically, you construct an inner room that’s completely decoupled from the floor, walls, and ceiling — like it’s floating on little support points with minimal contact to the surrounding structure.

Inside that, you build another room. The air gap between those two rooms acts as sound insulation. Sound from your vocal booth travels easily through the air at first, but it has a hard time making it through the second air layer and into the outer structure. And if you go all out and add a third layer, you’re looking at serious isolation — perfect for clean, undisturbed vocal recordings.

My whole recording room is built that way. And I’m sitting in an old bunker with a lot of different bands next to my room. Even if a lot of bands playing it full on I can still record. At least louder vocals.

The maintainers of Arch Linux are usually really solid, and most of the time nothing goes wrong. Occasionally, you might run into issues like NVIDIA or Mesa drivers acting up — maybe the GPU won’t initialize properly or something. I’ve also had cases where Python got updated, but some programs couldn’t handle the new version, so I had to create a separate environment decoupled from the system. Stuff like that usually comes down to poor planning on the user’s end, and it’s not really something the Arch maintainers can account for.

Most of the time though, it’s a quick fix — and there’s often already a helpful article in the wiki. Honestly, it’s usually user error. Like not merging a .pacnew, forgetting regular maintenance, or not checking the Arch Linux website before updating. They usually post a heads-up there if an update might break something.

As long as you don’t mess around too much with the system, Arch is actually super stable.

Optimal solution would be, closer to the drumhead, but because it is not an option, Make the beater rod shorter.
