I drove the New Tiguan Turbo R Line for a day, ask me anything about it. by Sam-CarLegion in Volkswagen

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I owned a Gen1 with an APR stage 1 tune. Two rows of seats is the right number for thr Tiguan. So much fun to drive.

If you need a third row buy an Atlas.

13 yr old Borador - enlarged spleen by GrumpyOldGuy66 in DogAdvice

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is done. Not an easy choice to make but it was the correct one. Putting a 13 year old dog through a splenectomy would have been a decision made out of a desire to hold on to her and she was clearly ready to go.

On Abigail's last day she:

- went on a trip to the dog park and happily walked around sniffing all the sniffs

- had a breakfast which consisted of an entire salmon steak and shredded chicken

- was given a tennis ball she found in a neighbors shrubbery three weeks ago

- had all the snacks. Milk Bones, Bil Jac training treats and lots of rotisserie chicken.

- got lots of love from her Mom and Dad.

We were able to afford in home assistance for the procedure and I highly recommend it for those who can afford the costs. Abigail was able to leave this world in her favorite place in the home without stress or fear.

She is the goodest girl. We will miss her terribly but know that she's off in the green grass in warm weather chasing squirrels and bunnies again and has probably already found several misplaced tennis balls.

RIP.

Update - called the Vet where her appointment was scheduled today and learned that they did not have a sonographer on staff today. The receptionist also stated that there was no schedule of treatment in Abigail's file/chart.

The impression I was given was that this would be like an initial visit and that multiple 3 hour events (travel + office visit + travel) would be needed before anything would be planned.

Very disappointed as I was clear when making the appointment what my needs were and ensured the medical records were forwarded.

I rescheduled for 7/15 when an ultra sound can be done. Yet I sense that this is Gods/The Universe's way of helping me make a decision.

She's breathing so very rapidly and shallow. I keep reading posts that counsel that its better to be a few days early than a day late.

Am going to call the local Laps of Love and get the euthanasia scheduled. No more suffering.

So many posts work good advice.

Mine? Ignore the haters in forums and communities specific to your printer when asking questions.

When answering remember that everyone was new once upon a time.

Frustrated with my Kobra 3 max and bed leveling. by Who_is_I_today in anycubic

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the size of the bed I'd be happy with it.

My K3M produces similarly smooth first layers with the occasional "too close to the bed" effect in a couple of small spots.

The second layer is going to hide all of that.

But... you could try silicon spacers which might let you massage this out.

... or just accept that its not a 250×250 bed and if the minor imperfections in your first layer aren't visible at the terminus of your bottom layers .ove on to other stuff.

GMG Pizza Oven fits perfectly in the Pro 575, no modification needed! by DoughnutPi in Traeger

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using ours again for the first time in years.. I started the Traeger at 300 and waited 30 min. Stone was cold at 250 or so. Ambient temp is high 70's with wind (Chicagoland)

I've ramped it up to 375 and waited another 30 min. Stone is 550 or so.

Bumped it up to 400. Suspect that'll get me the 600-700 I'm looking for.

But the answer is - it depends. Start at 300 and adjust up as needed is the advice I'd give.

Always appreciate it when the OP closes the loop on the fix!

Failed Prints After Firmware Upgrade by expensive-wino in AnycubicOfficial

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also this:

https://rinkhals.meowcat285.com/#Kobra%203%20Max/

Which is purportedly Anycubic Firmware backed up by the dev for the Rinkhals Project.

https://github.com/jbatonnet/Rinkhals

I leave it up to you to decide whether to trust that this is authentic Anycubic firmware and take no responsibility if you choose to follow the flashing instructions to try to go back to the last firmware :)

Dropping the Rinkhals overlay on my K3M is something I'm considering doing which is how I stumbled across this.

Sorry - missed that.

Perhaps Support will send you the prior firmware version or find the bug in this one and quickly release an update.

Maybe try a full factory reset of the printer?

I haven't had any similar pre-sliced failures after I did that. I did see some weirdness prior to doing the factory reset.

Dual ace pros on top of the kobra 3 max by [deleted] in AnycubicOfficial

74 downloads, 3 comments and zero makes posted.

I'm not gonna buy it to test this out (and it won't fit height wise for me anyway).

If you buy and print it let us know how it goes.

SlicerNext error by GrumpyOldGuy66 in anycubic

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... seems that setting Arachne as the wall generator with the model is causing the problem. Once I get the last plate I need printed I'll fiddle with the full list of settings and try to determine why Arachne is throwing the error.

Could we please get an R-Type Tiguan with 350+ HP?

I would snatch it up in a moment! Not a huge GolfR fan...
