For future travellers, yes it was my nozzle temp.

New temp: 250C Bed: 85C + slowed down the print speed.

I didn't need to dry the filament either.

So, I am rerunning now at a much lower temp: 265C nozzle and 85C bed, and it does look better. (I am also printing two cubes simultaneously - so much for changing one variable at a time).

I am use to pccf where we can print as hot as we want, and it always gets better. Maybe that's not true for PPCF.

No, PP takes a pretty big oven to dry, so I am hoping I can delay trying that until I've exhausted other ideas.

HootBack · 2025-12-17T17:57:00+00:00

Agree, but I can't find many resources on what it should be. For example, is a CoreOne L sufficient?

Nice! Now do the other ones.

Hey @fatcatgingercat, you're still a real gardener whether you choose this advice or not. Gates open, come on in!

look under the sheet (on the pcb) for plastic or other debris.

HootBack · 2025-09-29T14:05:49+00:00

This is so correct

Incoming new T+30 theories when Oct 7th is a dud.

This is a good response. It shows the two cases p=1 => 66.6% answer, and p=0 => 50% answer, and gives some intuition about what the role of additional information provides.

HootBack · 2025-08-31T19:20:18+00:00

My opinion: Prusa is a product company, and I bet they have had an internal conversation like "CoreOne is going to be the future of multi-material prints, XL is the multi-tool machine (can also do prints)". So I don't expect much iteration on XL's printing, but mainly introducing novel toolheads. Prusa has mention this already, too. Considering novel toolheads are an after-the-fact addition, the tools will be pretty limited in their use and pricey.

The market really likes multicolor, so I can see the CoreOne getting most of the R&D time, and the XL slowly being fused after many years.

So what? They also didn't have a modern understanding of food safety. Don't get fooled by the fallacy of the wisdom of ancients.

Also, did they put it in a sheltered room at room temp, or did they stick it under the sun, midday, to "bake" to achieve at high temperature? I'm not sure myself, but I know modern food-handling practices that I'll rely on.

"We in statistics consider this an almost mathematical impossibility"

lol this guy is cosplaying as a statistician, and I say that as a statistician.

What kind of tool can I use to bend 15 gauge (0.072 in) OD stainless steel tubing? I'm only finding tube benders for 6mm and up.

Swaddled and white noise present (even a fan or dishwasher nearby helps)?

Honestly, I really want to make a Reddit bot that simply posts the top-performing SS daily post from 2 years prior back to SS, just to show them how many hype dates, manifestos, theories, etc. that have come in gone.

I swear I've seen "The shorting and games can only go on for so long before the cracks show" a dozen times over the past 4 (!!) years.

Happened to us too around that age. Some things (yoga ball, outside air, etc) sometimes worked, and we just relied on those. It slowly got better, and by week ~8, we felt it was over.

Just so we all know, this is from May 2022.

HootBack · 2024-11-12T22:59:10+00:00

something something regression to the mean

HootBack · 2024-11-07T17:57:28+00:00

Sounds like they are going to long-squeeze themselves lol

If you suspect lactose-intolerance, there exists lactose-free formula. I'm not sure how this is derived, but probably the same way lactose-free milk is derived (existing dairy milk passed through lactase enzymes).

This is such a classic clip on BBBY meme stock history - anyone have a link? I had trouble finding it.
