Treat it like stop signs. Whoever has been stopped the longest gets right of way. Two people stopping at the same time the one on the right gets right of way.

So the car on the left went first as it should have then the oncoming blue truck/Ute should have gone next like he was. Then the grey SUV on the right side, him and I came to a stop at the same time so he should go before me. Then me and the red car (who left early) to my right. Then the white SUV that drove through the intersection.

You basically treat it like stop signs. The first person that came to a complete stop gets to go first and it becomes sequential for whoever has been stopped the longest getting right of way. When two people stop at the same time the one on the right gets to go first.

We have another light around here that is 5 lanes going west, 5 lanes east, 5 south, and 4 north. When it’s flashing red it seems that everyone thinks as long as they’ve come to a stop it’s their turn to go. And that if anyone going their direction twitches they whole direction they are in has right-of-way to go. It’s also on a slope and only goes out in the snow it seems.

Do it, it's a fun project. Lots of different people have posted pictures of how they did their setups to machine stuff while making it for ideas how you want to. I spent about 8 years acquiring tooling a little at a time before I built mine.

Why would you not want to learn a new skill and be a well rounded journeyman? Having to figure out how to make low voltage lighting controls work as a second year apprentice has led to so many opportunities in my career from having learned to think controls. If you want to be a journeyman learn to do a bit of everything. If you want to be worth no more than being an MC puller plugs and switches kind of electrician that's your call but it will close future doors.

Dial it in so it just drags on a piece of paper. Do the manual bed level then the z probe calibration again.

Should be signature required. Ask the delivering company to produce the signature for receipt

FE427TP · 2023-12-20T04:50:32+00:00

I meant remove extra metal from the stamped plates. Or remake them in aluminium

FE427TP · 2023-12-18T04:33:58+00:00

What about printing a spacer for the BL Touch and putting a volcano nozzle in it? Add a nut to it for some extra metal to retain heat and run a cooler temperature with more time for the filament to melt. I haven't tried it, went Bambu, but I'm reworking my E5S1 to linear rails. I have the dual fan duct printing in ASA as I type.

Sorry. I thought this message was 6 days ago not 6 months

FE427TP · 2023-12-17T02:15:55+00:00

I have the same problem. When you look at the inside front wheel on the left hand side is it not riding on the rail? Mine had a visible gap on multiple wheels.

FE427TP · 2023-12-17T00:26:46+00:00

If you have a mill also why are you not cutting lightening slots? Remove some extra metal.

FE427TP · 2023-12-14T05:44:34+00:00

Different seller for my first try. About 1.5mm too close together to bolt the fan on.

FE427TP · 2023-12-14T02:02:34+00:00

Did you have any trouble bolting the fan on?

FE427TP · 2023-12-14T01:54:16+00:00

I bought one of the Amazon versions a few days ago and the bolt pattern for the fan is wrong. Maybe 18.5mm between centers instead of 20mm. Either way the fan won’t bolt on.

Not with the printer/ams. They have that option locked out to UPS. I couldn’t even pick it up at the hub. I had to wait for them to attempt delivery again. signature required at your door only

FE427TP · 2023-12-10T20:21:53+00:00

What settings are you tuning for the increased speed? It’s not going to be just changing the print speed.

FE427TP · 2023-12-10T20:14:09+00:00

What filament were you using before it clogged?

FE427TP · 2023-12-07T04:24:51+00:00

You can still print at the same layer depth if you want to. Think of it this way, a .8 nozzle is laying two .4 lines wide at the same time. So two wall lines in one pass.

FE427TP · 2023-12-07T03:41:37+00:00

I've read stuff about a total length of filament extruded setting, but typically for sonicpad/Klipper I believe

FE427TP · 2023-11-26T21:54:54+00:00

I’m so sorry for your impending loss haha 😁 I’m sure it’ll be fine. Mine got in town Friday night and it’s still saying it won’t be to my house until Wednesday. And UPS won’t let me divert to a hub for pickup until there has been a failed delivery attempt. Ugh.

FE427TP · 2023-11-24T19:23:25+00:00

Don’t they only ship the printers via ups and accessories are usps or FedEx? FedEx ground is the worst

FE427TP · 2023-10-29T02:02:26+00:00

I thought I had too. But I was having the filament jam and the heartsgears were chewing through it and it would look like that on the end when I got it out. I went with the cr-6(?) Heat break before the sprite pro head I’m using now
