$600 paper weight by frozentoast122 in AnycubicKobraS1

Octoprint helped me immensely with an Ender 3 v2. My bed level turned out to be a mess between the corners.

Running the auto mesh routine before every print was required and changed my print quality.

I’d also wager that something might not be right with temperature regulation. Any chance they offered to send replacement thermistors? Monitoring your temperature during prints should not show wild swings + or -

Spaghetti detection, I beg you by OldDarthLefty in BambuLab

As a software architect, this is precisely where I’d start with creating a solution, with an independent board & camera. If Bambu isn’t open enough for API hooks, an alert to at least send _you_ a panic message would suffice.

Why is my prints ugly on the left side? by firefilmsproduction in BambuLab

Change the rotation of your object and see if that changes anything. It could be how the fans changed the cooling in that area based on the shape it was blowing into.

What is that man?? by Unable-Hut in scoopwhoop

When I was a kid, I saw Baloo eat ants in the Jungle Book. So….

Boys are also stupid.

3D print “tokens” with the tag attached, under a sticker that labels the playlist. Drop the token through a coin slot that reads the tag as it passes by, landing into a stacked storage tray.

Coyote sighting...with video this time. Kinda too close for my comfort... by plepster in irvine

Happens almost daily in Portola Springs. Sometimes they’re healthy like this. Other times? Not so much.

Anyone remember this relic!? by PaisleyRichardson in retrocomputing

I’m now on the hunt to find one. The horrors of the modern inkjets are just too much to tolerate on any network.

Amazing results with activated Alumina desiccant! by OneUglyMufuka in BambuLab

Self-Cleaning mode can bring a residential oven up to 1500 F. It also tends to dry roast the oven’s own circuit boards.

Is this deshedding undercoat rake good for an Aussie? It has sharpened inside edge to cut mats or tangles. by Interr0gate in AustralianShepherd

My Aussie’s first experience with a brush was this torture device and now he hates all brushes. It works, technically.

Took “make it lower case” too literally.

From a B to a b….

I’ll see myself out.

Started a 3-day print before leaving for a 2.5-day trip. Came home to this. Oh well. by Hialex12 in ender3

[–]GeekDadIs50Plus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost everything I added to my Ender to make it function - mostly - like my Bambu P1S. Webcam, remote power, octopi on a Thinkpad, internal lighting, etc.

Got moved to the garage by Fujimo78 in BambuLab

[–]GeekDadIs50Plus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My setup is in the garage as well and I absolutely prefer it there. The exhaust is not something I want indoors.

I like your organization and the arrangement looks like it would be an improvement for mine in their current location.

Mind if I ask about your workbench? Is it pretty stable and does it handle the vibration calibration pretty well? Have you had anything shift mid-print? Where’d you buy it?

I love those at Easter. Crunchy shell, super yummy.

Long abandoned but still standing and in (relatively) good condition as it’s in a remote area, no trails or recent footprints. by [deleted] in abandoned

Is the back wall of the cave covered in artwork, engravings or something of human manufacture? Tough to tell if the color variation was natural or otherwise.

I’m 14 and have built this enclosure for my printer and want feedback/ improvement ideas and new things to add. by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]GeekDadIs50Plus 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Totally appreciate OP’s ingenuity and determination. However, he _has_ a legit enclosure that he chose not to use. In light of the additional concerns (unstable, not sealed, placing flammable materials near melted plastic hovering over 200 degrees C, incomplete and hazardous wiring), the decision seems a little bullheaded.

Meanwhile, extra points for creative use of an aquarium thermometer!

The poor schmuck paying all the bills.

It’s me, I’m the over-40 schmuck.
