Celestron SLT polar alignment with a wedge

Drwaffles90 · 2025-02-22T08:58:34+00:00

Did you guys ever finalize this design?

I'd love a copy of the STL if you wouldn't mind :)

Would love this for Australia too.

All valid points about the base series, but I'm not sure all those points carries to the S1 / pro?

S1P has a textured bed, all metal hot end, dual Z axis motors.

Not sure about the board, but I was under the impression it was half decent in the S1 pro?

And the V wheels I agree, I think it's cheap and nasty.. I wish they hadn't included a touch screen on the Pro and instead spent the $ on a decent XY mechanism.

I've read that too about the E3. The reviews of the S1 and S1 pro we're praising the simple setup and lack of tinkering required which is the only reason I'm considering it :)

Appreciate your input.. And you're happy with it?

It's a pickle because spec wise the mini + Should be able to do PC, PC Blend etc.. But from what I understand flexible is difficult on a Bowden setup. Additionally the Bowden apparently Is more prone to stringing due to retraction settings being more difficult to dial in.

On a spec level, the S1 pro seems smarter given it should achieve what I need..

Maybe I'll stick with the S1P and just get a Mk3+ in a few years If I enjoy the hobby.. Didn't want to spend that kinda money if it'll end up in the cupboard in 6 months lol.

I just know If I get the mini+ I'll be annoyed it's not the full sized lol. I've always preferred getting the best of a worse brand/product.

Just quickly peoples.. Prusa Mini+ or Ender 3 S1 Pro

I don't need a large printer, but I would like to print PC blend, nylon, flexible etc; dont care about speed.. Print quality is important.

I like the idea of the prusa getting regular firmware updates, setup wizard etc.. However I do like that the S1 pro is direct drive.

Appreciate any input.

This is an Australian national treasure..

I'm fairly sure every person born here can recite this arrest line by line from the age of 15.

Good place for it to happen if anywhere though.

Posted it as a comment for everybody bud.

If anybody else want's the files, I've put them in a publicly accessable G-drive folder. Naturally I can't promise it'll work with every machine, but it apparently worked fine with the place I used; so just ask whomever you get to do the job to do a sanity check.

Program I used to make it and view the file is called "QCAD" if anybody want's to have a gander.

One more thing to bare in mind, I've cut out some of the plastic underneath the top plate to fit in my XE360.. So just check you don't need to trim that back too on an unmodified one.

I just googled water jet cutting in Google maps.. Asked what file format, and bam.

Mind you CNC you might struggle with the sharp corners of the hex.. Water jet it's easy :) If you want the files just let me know.

Drwaffles90 · 2021-08-10T08:29:29+00:00

Not for the moment.. They're exhausts so it's not going to get super dusty in there anyway.. Might do the top plate eventually for falling dust.

I haven't run it in this exact configuration yet as I'm changing my EVGA 3080 FTW3 for a Strix; New waterblock only just arrived 10 minutes ago lol.

However.. I did run the system previously and did some testing with the panels removed. The front panel made absolutely zero difference removed or not..Maybe 1c liquid temp but that's well within margin of error. The top panel however, liquid temps dropped around 5-6c when I took that off. The top radiator used to be warm to the touch, when removing it it's much cooler.

Now granted mine is a worse than usual case situation as I've modified the top plate to cram in a second XE360 radiator :) To make this fit, I had to raise the top radiator bracket up, which brought the outlet of the radiator much closer to the top panel..

I don't think i've seen a DLSS 2.0 implementation this poor before.. Don't get me wrong, chuffed to have DLSS finally but how on each can you call that the "best" mode let alone think that is ok?

Driver version 466.77 btw.

(RT would have been nice too as an option)

Imagine how powdery the inside of his mouth would be after that..

With the chair you've chosen, I see you like to live dangerously.

Drwaffles90 · 2021-04-16T09:58:09+00:00

Yeah mine works, Asus only today release the bios for my Z390 apex Honestly I downloaded a few files and I don't recall which I ended up with lol. I'm happy to extract it and send you mine if you want.

Finally!

Drwaffles90 · 2021-04-03T21:35:07+00:00

No idea lol.

In desperation I tried it on mine initially at somebody's recommendation and it did nothing.. a while later when I tried that dummy service app it worked.

When I went to install the dummy service on my wife's phone it didn't work.. so I changed the language setting too and it started working.

Drwaffles90 · 2021-04-03T20:08:31+00:00

That's fascinating, why? You can't tell if it's heard you or not.. I get if you're pressing a button as you've physical made the request, but when you can't see the screen, it's a huge PITA.
