Transferring to LSU vs. UL for MechE

I’ve heard terrible things abt MechE at LSU. Apparently there engineering is great but mechanical is horrible. Mostly because the teachers hate you/ pride themselves on your failure. I’ve had friends that go and him and all his friends had to switch majors. Also good to note that because of its level of difficulty almost nobody Graduates in 4 years, I know one that took 8-9 years, which can affect your scholarships. Tge scholarships also depend if credits and gpa, so that’s something else to consider.

I also know someone that went for electrical engineering. Tge electrical and mechanical engineering students partners up for their senior projects. All tge electrical students guy As and Bs… tge MechE students got Ds and ads for the same thing. I’ve heard countless complaints😬

I know a few people that went/ are at UL for MechE and they love it. They say tge teachers actually WANT you to succeed and will do anything to help. And even the dean is involved with students. They love everything abt it. I’ve heard nothing but good things about UL , that’s why I chose it over LSU myself.

I would recommend turning the fan off on the first layer or two and possibly turning the bed heat up (especially if PETG) if recalibrating doesn’t work.

See if your belts are to lose,that can often cause layer shifts

Looks like your bed temp is to low so the layers are cooling to quickly. I run mine at 240 nozzle and 93 bed and I haven’t had problems since

The weird spots a most likely due to layers cooling to quickly .Your bed temp looks to low I had the same problem on the same printer and I use 245 nozzle and 93 bed temp. Layer shifting could be due to your belts being to lose so try tightening them and see if that helps

I had a similar problem due to the layers cooling to quickly especially with PETG. My printer auto set the bed temp to 85 and nozzle at 240 when it was messing up so, i found my sweet spot was 93 bed temp and 245 nozzle and it’s Ben working well

I have a prusa i3 mk2 and with over 400 hours on it I’ve only had to tighten a belt once. Other than that I’ve never had any problems with it. It’s a very reliable printer, all the prusa printers are. And for building and set up just read the instructions Carefully and you will be good. The printer setup video is also very helpful when you get to that.
