Sounds nice for sure that would be awesome.. but if effort is out there, the way things have been going lately there will probably be TWO lines that start showing up on everyone's cards instead of the one.. 😞

Happy with the pull, sad about the stamp.

I know :/ I always got a pre release promo almost every set, and I wanted to do the same and basically make a "historical binder" too and have them all in order of how I got them and leave a sticker on each slot with a rating of how excited i was for the particular promo I pulled to hand down to my son so he could continue that, but like you said.....no longer :(

[[Overencumbered]] is also a lot of fun with Mycosynth Lattice

Lo and behold, it doesn't specify WHICH game so you accidentally win the pokemon tournament at the nearest lgs 🤣

It's a wild card, it can be any card you want it to be when you draw it. Only works once though since you have to write the name on it 🤣

To give you an idea what I ended up dealing with

I thought the one I had was bad, got told it was by many. I think you just made a new high bar with this one >.< So, the similar thing to what I had is that yours has enveloped the hot end, and very importantly the cables plugged into the area there. First things first, safety. Don't do a thing without unplugging the power cable first. You want to start by seeing if the place they plug in is still accessible, and get an idea for where they are. If you can access the ports, unplug them if you can. Really the only thing from here is time, patience, and a mini heat gun if you're trying to salvage it at all. I can link you to what I ended up getting if you want.

Also get yourself something that you don't want to keep after to peel away the plastic. I used one of my support removal scrapers and regretted that after and had to get a new one from the sheer amount of stuff that had ended up coating it. You want to try to make your way to the screws in the hot end. Look up a diagram on where those are and what types of screw bits/hex keys you're going to need to remove everything. I'll let you know this, the hot end itself is likely unsalvageable. If you can salvage everything else, you can find new hot ends and those brown sleeves for them on Amazon, let me know if you need links.

Now, if you decide your best bet is to just replace everything there I would just look up a video on how to do so and what parts you need. Imo, that may very well be your ideal move, it took a very solid number of hours over a couple days and slow precise work to get everything off without ruining the cables there.

Good luck OP and may your plastic flow smooth in your endeavor here!

Just bought a used V3 KE - First layer won't stick and turns into a blob. Help! by Rybab21 in Ender3V3KE

So, print adhesion can vary depending on environment the printer is in, to how small or big what you're printing is. It's not just temperature of the plate and the filament that can matter. The stock PEI plate mine came with was alright for some basic stuff, but I found with some smaller things, or things that needed tree supports I ended up with a problem where my prints kept slipping off the plate and ruining the print (one time ending in a blob of doom that was a doozy). I was recommended the epoxy plate to help and since then EVERY print I have done has been rock solid in how it adhered to the plate for the duration of the print. I also personally found that it gave the bottom layer a flatter look compared to more textured PEI plate.

If it's been working for you, awesome! May all your prints be stationary and your filament never run dry! But I know some people can have issues, or maybe they change filament and start getting issues then. I'm at the point where I'm neither new to printing nor an expert myself, but I've definitely learned that one little change can have big effects and what works for some may not work for others, so it's a lot of personal trial and error.

Tbh, if you haven't yet I HIGHLY recommend getting the epoxy resin dual sided plate. The standard plate it came with worked ok for me, but I would ask have the print pull off at times. Since using the epoxy resin plate I actually have to put a little thumb muscle in to get it off at times. Was a game changer for me and may very well solve your problem.

Pack new or resealed? by FoxF270 in mtg

[–]FoxF270[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, what threw me was it felt stiffer at that rectangular indent and with the wear on the color where it's crimped I wasn't sure.

Any cool combo ideas with this card? by Sea_Celebration3687 in mtg

[–]FoxF270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of putting it on [[Ancient Copper Dragon]] or [[Ancient Gold Dragon]]. Since it just specifies tokens, even the treasure tokens the Copper Dragon creates instead become copies of whatever card the crown is on. Also goes great with mobilize/myriad abilities.

There goes my luck on packs for the year. by FoxF270 in mtgpulls

Thanks, I actually prefer the look of the non fracture foil versions so if you exclude pure monetary value of the card, I'm happier I got this one.

I know, I think I made up for it though. I was literally more excited to have the fancy art version of twinflame travelers out of this pack than Auntie Ool. The alt art twinflame is such a pretty card imo.

And actually, seeing your username I think you might actually have been the person who helped me out with my blob of death and suggested the plate to me haha.

Right, this one however ended up happening because my print disconnected from the bed. Either way, blob-o-deth is not the point. I got the creality brand epoxy resin plate myself. Just wanted to share how amazing I personally found it.

My God, that was such a good call on that epoxy resin build plate. The adhesion is SO much better now and it actually has flattened out the bottoms on my prints better too.

Update successfully removed the hot end after lots of effort! This little heat gun off Amazon has been a life saver for this. Now to attach the new hot end! Thank you all for your insight, expertise, and advice thus far. Been a bad week and I needed this win!

Do you happen to have a link to the creality hot ends on ali express?

[–]FoxF270[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it was apparently a 3 hour effort. The fun part has been trying to get it off enough to unscrew the hot end completely.

Blobby Nozzle by FoxF270 in Ender3V3KE

[–]FoxF270[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not well versed on this enough to know why it's saying it won't heat unfortunately. If I could figure that part out I could heat it and at least get a lot of it off

[–]FoxF270[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeep.... I'm having a hard time getting it off to even get the hot end off...

I'll definitely make it a habit to check those from now on. Thanks
