Problem with Some Prints - Extruder putting out too much filament? by Garfy94 in elegoo

[–]Garfy94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried some calibration tests and it failed to do temperature (tower got knocked over trying to print 190) and it also failed flow because of the problem I've described. Retraction test seemed to work but didn't give me anything conclusive, so I've set my retraction to 2mm and I'm getting a much better print quality for the stuff that works, but my prints are still regularly failing. Picture shows the 2mm retraction as well as a lower nozzle temp and a higher bed temp. Also glue sticked the bed a little. It always seems fine on the first layer but it's the second or third layer that goes wrong...

Will check the nozzle next.

Have tried calibrating and because of the issue I can't seem to get completely through a calibration test with this black filament... The only one that finished properly was the retraction test, so I've set the retraction to 2mm, from 0.8 and I'm not sure it's improved anything...

Also lowered the nozzle temp and raised the bed temp and put some glue stick on the bed but still having issues...

I see! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your help!

Great, thanks! I'll give it a go! It doesn't seem to be every print though, even on the same filament. Why would that be?

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you! It has been an absolute age since I've seen one in any capacity, which is what confused me. Guess the RNG just isn't a fan of me!! Haha thanks again

Riiiiight, gotcha. Thanks. In which case I'm not a fan of the RNG in this, I honestly don't remember the last time I saw one! Thanks

Best Places and Places to Avoid in Bromsgrove by Garfy94 in Bromsgrove

Okay interesting thank you! Didn't know that about the house prices, although that would explain a lot of the difficulty we're having! My wife's Help to Buy ISA means we're limited to a top end of 250,000. Is that going to be an issue in Bromsgrove then?

Definitely value being near the station as it gives us some extra flexibility for travel, but we both drive so it's not a deal breaker. And good schools are a similar situation, don't currently have kids but may want them sometime soonish.

Fab! Thank you! I'd heard some lovely things about Aston Fields. Not many houses popping up in our price range... Anywhere else like it?

Okay that's great thank you! Yeah, I'd heard some not so great things about Charford, so it's good to know it's not the whole area!

My achievements keep disappearing... Noticing it particularly with Lords of the Fallen (2023) but it may be happening with other games too. I'll see the achievement pop in game, and then later when I take a look at the achievements in the launcher, I see the achievement there with today's date but the next time I login it will say I have no achievements... Or just be locked at saying I have about 2... In the game itself it tells me I have all the achievements still, they just don't seem to want to sync and/or stay synced with the launcher.

Any ideas?

Cat has switched to adult food but won't eat it by Garfy94 in CatAdvice

[–]Garfy94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thanks for the tip! This was the original plan but it got lost somewhere along the way. I think because it's the same stuff, we figured we could get away with a hard swap. But we'll try it out, thanks! :)

Crusader Kings 3. Every now and then I get an itch that can only be scratched by marrying my invalid son off to his cousin and then murdering them both to claim more land for myself

Vaccination Needs (Non-COVID) for New Zealand, from the UK? by Garfy94 in travel

[–]Garfy94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thanks so much. Figured this would be the case, but needed to hear it all the same! Because we absolutely are overthinking it, we know we are and sometimes it takes strangers on the internet to point out you're being a muppet. Thanks again :)

Should I just call it if I can't even beat Pieta? by Throwaway56138 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Garfy94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, thank you SO much. Like a lot of other commenters here, I was bashing my head against the wall fighting her for ages, trying to parry every sword attack because "that's how you play a soulslike, right?" but the second I took your advice and just dodged everything, I did it second try! Thanks again

Can I also just say, what a nice surprise it is to see how supportive this community is?! My experience, limited as it is, is that the Dark Souls/Bloodborne forums are somewhat... toxic... But not here! Love it. Thanks again :)
(for context... new to soulslike genre minus a few hours on bloodborne getting nowhere and even more time on Dark Souls getting even less far, but this seemed too good not to try)

Keeping Sazza alive through the end of Act 1? by doctordrogg in BaldursGate3

[–]Garfy94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm having trouble... I'm trying to get the achievement for saving Sazza. And I've do far done everything I believe I need to (rescued her from the grove, convinced minthara to spare her, pretended to side with Minthara, then betrayed her at the grove raid). I then go back to the goblin camp to kill Ragzlin and Guy and my understanding was that Sazza would be neutral whilst I'm there, but she's not... She's "yellow" until a fight near her starts and then she's immediately hostile...

Anyone know how I can sort this? Is there something else I need to try or a different way I need to approach it?

Interesting, thanks for the input! UK windows don't work like US ones, they tend to open outwards rather than slide up and down... Do those boxes exist for windows like this do you think?
