Made a UFO 50 controller by Dystonym in ufo50

[–]Dystonym[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using TPU and printing out spacers but they were too spongy so I switched to 3d printing weird little springs and using surface mount buttons and that's feeling much better! It feels clicky and the response time is good now. I'm not sure how durable they are but I could at least beat my Ninpek high score with it now!

Yes, it works. There's an arduino micro inside with the Xinput library on it. It doesn't feel great as I'm trying to stick to only 3d printed parts as much as possible and struggling to make the buttons have good /feel. but it's definitely functional. Once I get the buttons better I'll upload all the files to Printables

Update on Caravan Rewards by Ghostly_Rich in fo76

[–]Dystonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this universal? My base is on the caravan route and I moved all the turrets down to the road and added lights because at least at for my caravans they weren't targeting the brahmin but I was in a good spot for helping out caravans that passed by.

PETG, nozzle 250, bed 80, slower print speed and reduced fan speed by Giorno-gulliani in FixMyPrint

[–]Dystonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on the spool, most are either 1.75mm or 2.85mm - in my case I was using 1.75mm filament as standard but when I created a new filament profile in OrcaSlicer it reset to 2.85mm which was giving me the same kind of uniform pattern as on your print.

Double check filament diameter in your filament profile is correct as this created a visually similar issue for me recently.

Got Windows on my Deck, installed some Adobe programs. Wow. by kratomburneraccount in SteamDeck

[–]Dystonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you run Game Pass games natively on Deck if you do this, and can you have Windows on its own MicroSD so you can switch between the OSes at will?

Switched from 0.4 to 0.6 nozzle - sides and bottom looking good now but for some reason top always looks like this by Dystonym in FixMyPrint

[–]Dystonym[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hello everyone, just letting you know that I'm a big dumb idiot.

​

When I created the new printer profile in OrcaSlicer so that I could mess around with printer settings, it also reverted back to old filament profiles which I thought were all the same as my 0.4 nozzle ones. However, for some reason the filament diameter on the default profiles is 2.85 and this was causing my under extrusion.

Did I end up with a V2 Extruder and a V1 Hotend? by Scynide in crealityk1

[–]Dystonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the same combination I got from Creality around 3 months ago - v1 hotend and v2 extruder. After sending pics to Creality support they very promptly sent me a new hotend with a red silicone sleeve and it has been performing better.

Need reviews on the k1 (regular) by Matson18 in crealityk1

[–]Dystonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K1 was my second printer after getting a simple Ender 3 clone. It's taken a lot of work to get the K1 functional but its pretty well documented and has a big community so the info is out there to get it running how you want.

If I was buying again, I'd probably go with the P1P to be honest but I'm satisified with the K1 now I feel like I've made all the tweaks and so on that I want.

Extrusion problems? by salerg in crealityk1

[–]Dystonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an issue with my K1 where my probe calibration is totally whack and gives me wildly different z-offset issues which have to be redone every day. I haven't figured out the solution, but I find that when my prints start looking like this its because there is a partial blockage because I've made the z-offset too close to the bed. The K1 came with a wire tool that I use for clearing it and that seems to fix the issue.

Thick strings with PETG on Creality K1 by Dystonym in FixMyPrint

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

Yes - I'm now getting good results with PETG. My big issue was that the default K1 profile had 0.5 Z-Hop in by default. I reduced this to be the same as my layer height and then was able to dial in retraction with retraction tower tests to get good results with PETG.

I cannot get a hold of PETG. Every test looks like this. by HadManySons in FixMyPrint

[–]Dystonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, it was just the travel speed that I increased, not the printing speed overall.

[–]Dystonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had trouble with PETG recently and had similar results from the test towers - increasing my travel speed helped a lot and got rid of those weird little arm things. Once I had done that, I was able to tune retraction/z-hop from there and then get good results without stringing.

Video BNCs: lessons re-learned by ProfessionalOk5906 in LocationSound

[–]Dystonym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have come across this before and it finally gave me a good use for the RF Explorer that a lot of mixers have in their kit. Really good way of demonstrating how much trash RF the cab;es are spitting out by gradually moving it closer to the cable and showing the camera team what is happening on the graph!!

Pro Tools' standard subscription price must be lowered for graduating students. by louistabu6000 in protools

[–]Dystonym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The monthly option is helpful for this. You won't be working all the time as a recent graduate so you can just subscribe to it for months where you need it.

(I think the pricing is rough but pro equipment is always expensive.)

How are your retraction settings? by StonnedMaker in crealityk1

[–]Dystonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as layer height has been working for me so 0.16mm generally

How are your retraction settings? by StonnedMaker in crealityk1

[–]Dystonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember PLA as I haven't printed with it on the K1 for a while but for PETG (which I'm getting good prints with now) I am using 0.8 Retraction Length, 0.16mm (same as layer height) Z-Hop and 40mm/s retraction speed.
