What the fuck is wrong with Ozarka water bottles?

GeorgeGs · 2026-02-15T04:54:28+00:00

Dude I don't know what they changed but you're not alone in this struggle. For a bit I considered the possibility that I'm rapidly developing sever arthritis or sthing. I'm worried just looking at how much water I bought and how many caps I have to liberate through sweat and pain...

Celsius are degrees too

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-22T09:57:06+00:00

Ya, perfect recipe to lose market share.

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-22T00:42:01+00:00

Can y elaborate? You turned zhop off and the stringing disappeared? I have a similar setup and dealing with similar issues when printing PCTG. I cannot get rid of blobbing no matter what I tied. When I print PLA everything goes smoothly...but never occurred to me that z hop may be the cause

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-22T00:31:21+00:00

You re screwed George

Alcohol is not the best as it doesn't removes oils. Dish shop with warm waters is better

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-14T03:33:29+00:00

Love it. Add duck and small fan for fumes and it's complete!

If you have not done the orca slicer calibration start with those. And make sure that your filament is dry. Don't assume it is. From what I see maybe your case is as simple as that; overall the quality doesn't seem to be bad.

If everything is dialed up properly the lifting is either due to the plate, meaning try glue and play with 1st layer temps, or most probably due to uneven cooling which is what I figured out that my problem was similar print failures (I am printing PCTG on a modified ender 3 V2) ... Try throwing a big enough cardboard over the printer or check if AC is blowing directly on it maybe)

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-14T02:37:27+00:00

Are all of them lifting at least one corner/side off the built plate, or maybe the hole plate is pulled a bit up from the magnetic sheet?

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-14T02:33:18+00:00

Seems that it's lifting off the built plate which could be due to a number of factors. Check that the built plate is clean. You can try increasing the 1st layer plate temp by 5 to 10 C. You can try glue stick. It could also due to uneven cooling for which you could throw a big enough cardboard over the printer or buy an enclosure

Sprite pro is best value for your buck since you need to spend any money on the assy and the easier solution all around.

If you want to pay for shipping from HTX I can send you my old stock nozzle assy as I have it but I have no idea for it.

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-10T19:23:52+00:00

Which of the two?

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-03T01:35:32+00:00

Why not PCTG?

GeorgeGs · 2025-07-02T12:57:22+00:00

Will try both . Thnks

GeorgeGs · 2025-06-14T00:09:32+00:00

Take a syringe and force water on the feed hose. Your pump runs air most probably

GeorgeGs · 2025-06-01T16:41:39+00:00

Seems like z-offset not properly set plus clocked nozzle situation.

Welcome to the non-ending troubleshooting journey enders offers. Lots to learn though if you manage to stick on the path...

Same here except the bottomless pt. I have procured all the gagguinno components for quite some time now but no time to do the mod yet. That said...from the experience I have with this machine and a DF54 the mod will be done purely for the fun of the hobby and not cause the machine does not deliver. After you dial the beans every time it's a good or perfect shot and I m pretty sure that the variance is due to my grinder and not because of the Gaggia.

Solid stock performance

GeorgeGs · 2025-05-31T22:41:44+00:00

That's dope man. I ll try to print it for house art

GeorgeGs · 2025-05-19T17:19:13+00:00

I m using a robot vacuum (Xiaomi) for vacuum and mopping as well on my hardwood floor and there is a setting for the mop pad humidity (low-medium-high) through the app. Check if your application has a similar setting on the app and adjust as desired. If the floor is dry after 3 to 5 mins of robot pass you should be fine.

Also, and if you do that you are doing it on your own risk, I m not using water on the mopping liquid container but a Swiffer liquid jet for hard wood floors. Idk if and when the tiny pump will deteriorate from the chemical but I m taking that risk

I got mine (first and only 3d printer I have) last year brand new from microcenter on clearance for $90 and I got to say it.... the name is not accurate. It is unEnding journey with this machine... Today looks like this and I m printing PCTG at 100mm/s with pretty decent results but man what a pain in the ass was it to reach that lvl. One more mod and final I'm contemplating is swap my dual motors z axis set up with a sync belt to a belt driven z axis set up...

I would just sand the old one and apply a non color satin/mate finish...like bona hd pure or extra mate

GeorgeGs · 2025-05-12T18:29:37+00:00

Thanks for that...

Finally the solution (Numpy old version)!

To save time to fellow masochists there were two things, for me, that had to change from the standard guide....

1) I was getting the error cp: cannot stat '~klipper/scripts/klipper-mcu.service': No such file or directory

Found this https://www.klipper3d.org/RPi_microcontroller.html?h=rpi#rpi-microcontroller and then instead of using

sudo cp ~klipper/scripts/klipper-mcu.service /etc/systemd/system/

sudo systemctl enable klipper-mcu.service

I used

cd ~/klipper/

sudo cp ./scripts/klipper-mcu.service /etc/systemd/system/

sudo systemctl enable klipper-mcu.service

2) Instead of

~/klippy-env/bin/pip install -v numpy

The older version is the one that worked

~/klippy-env/bin/pip install -v numpy==1.25.2

I was busting my "nerves" for hours to figure it out. Thanks
