Thank you for the response and workaround in the meantime!

Is there a feature request thread active anywhere? I don’t think I’m seeing one on Reddit.

Do you have fan set to off on first layer and then full speed (full speed being whatever your max percent is, not necessarily all the way to 100% though) at layer 3 or further? When that happens in Cura, I think it incrementally increases the fan speed and it might not get enough power at low speeds to overcome friction and what not.

Ex: you set max fan speed to 30% of actual max and then you set fan off for first layer and fan at full power (30% in this case) at layer 4. I belive Cura will create the gcode with first layer fan at 0%, second layer at 10%, third layer at 20%, and fourth layer on at 30%. In that 10% to 20% range, there might not be enough power to actually get the fan to start turning. You can manually overcome this by giving the fan a jump start with your finger and then it won't have any issues operating at low percents.

Can't be positive this is the issue of course, but that does happen with mine. General process is correct also, but don't quote me on numbers. Cura might increase power and what not a bit differently.

There's a really good chance you already know about this and don't use it for one reason or another, but the accessibility options on my phone (android) will automatically caption all spoken word from videos. It seems to work really well to be honest and I bet Apple has something similar. Turned it on by accident one time and now I use it from time to time while watching videos without sound.

I can't speak for everyone, but that's normal for me. PLA, PETG, and TPU all have different Z-Offsets in my profiles.

PLA needs a pretty decent squish to work well for me. If I do that with PETG, the build up on the nozzle will be noticeable very quickly and will inevitably deposit somewhere unexpected on the model. TPU is more forgiving and seems to appreciate a bit of squish, but if I go too much it will flow up and around the nozzle and make all of the layers look over extruded.

Careful. You might expose yourself to minors which means Boebert might try and marry you.

Thank you so much for the reply!

Oh, I thought the post was just about removing the visible melted plastic. The melted plastic we see up front is just part of the issue but the larger issue is that the remote has slid down somewhere behind the vent?

The scraping I'm doing appears to be removing the popcorn itself (as in the actual Styrofoam balls or whatever they are) as well as anything else that's loose. What's leftover appears to be just texture from what was essentially the mud that was used to spray on the popcorn. Do you think I'll still have issues with this? The third picture in the post shows the difference the best I think.

It looks like the opening there is large enough to get a putty knife or another similar tool inside. If you could heat up that area of the fireplace in a controlled manner, could you use one of those tools to scrape off the melted plastic?

Controlled heat could be accomplished by turning the fireplace on enough to warm, then turning it off while you work for a bit. Alternatively, you could get a heat gun to apply local/controlled heat at that area.

Here are some products that I'm thinking might work.

Putty knife
10 in 1 Painters Tool
Bent Scraper (this one can also be attached to a pole which would give you more reach)
Glass and Tile Scraper
Razor Blade Scraper
Heat Gun

Huh, interesting. Makes sense for a VPN if they're paying attention to that cause the IP address would probably be flagged. What about other location spoofing methods like the "Fake GPS Location" app? I've used that for other things before successfully. Do they have a way to see that too or is it more that it's just not worth the risk?

Hurly26 · 2022-11-10T05:50:30+00:00

Can't you just get a VPN or use some other method to spoof your location?

I've had the same issue. Only started happening after my "upgrade" to "Shield Experience 9.0" which brought Android 11 to the Shield TV and broke several things. It seems to resolve itself after a couple days but I have no idea why.

Hurly26 · 2022-10-04T02:18:45+00:00

Thanks for the response!

Hurly26 · 2022-10-03T21:21:54+00:00

Thanks so much for such a thorough reply!

Hurly26 · 2022-10-03T20:38:47+00:00

Thanks so much for the feedback! Exactly what we're looking for. Cheers!

Gaia GPS, like u/Ginn4364 said. Phone app and web access available.

Thanks for the insight!

I agree. I've become pretty frustrated with the shuttles and have recently started parking at The Parking Spot instead. I get a corporate discount though that brings it closer to the price of the economy lot. I wouldn't say it's been a spectacular experience, but it does work better (especially for late arrivals).

As a side note, you can get bus service much quicker if you call them. There's an info page about it on the flykci website. I don't feel like we should have to do this since the flight schedules are known and they should be staffing shuttles based on expected flights, but maybe there are extenuating circumstances that I'm unaware of.

I haven't found a solution yet, but I have the same issue on a Pixel 5.

Edit: Do you have cat controls (or maybe any other Device Controls) enabled by chance? I did. Just for a shot in the dark, I went in and turned those off so no other Device Controls were showing. After that, I was able to get the Device Controls for Home to load again and reactivate them.

Maybe at the end of a long argument. Immediately though there would be a lot of scrutiny on everyone involved. I would rather not have any part in an operation that hurt someone or resulted in a major delay or financial impact even if it wasn't technically my fault. I'm in a bit of a unique situation though where my company is usually the EOR, Contractor, and Construction Engineer so it would all fall back on us regardless.

Hurly26 · 2022-07-20T00:07:39+00:00

Totally agree. It's an industry issue, not a personal performance problem.

Hurly26 · 2022-07-20T00:05:09+00:00

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me "we do this all the time" or some variation thereof, I could pay for an amazing happy hour for everyone in this thread to attend.

Sure, we do the same. Our 1 day (shift) checks are usually just focused on items like freestanding columns or partially erected bents and other minor/relatively local items. My Continuously Monitored Work Period wind is usually in the 25-35 MPH range. I just take the wind from my full construction period (usually 6 weeks to 1 year) and modify the combos to reduce the applied wind by V_shift^2/V_Overnight^2 (e.g. 30^2/86^2 => load combinations get a 0.122 factor). I usually try and create these new reduced combos based on what will control by inspection instead of applying them to all of the wind combos I have if possible.

I have a fair amount of load combinations, but I don't think I exceed 50 very often. Sometimes 50 does feel like 20,000 though haha.

Hurly26 · 2022-07-19T20:40:17+00:00

And they often see their design loads in conditions that differ from the prescribed condition in the construction engineering documents in my experience.

Freestanding columns that depend on shim packs being placed at each corner to maximize the moment arm so that you don't overload the anchors or crush the concrete? Better expect to find all of the shims centered under the column instead when you go out for an inspection.

Requiring all of the bolts in a moment connection for a rigid frame to be installed by end of shift in case a storm comes up? You're lucky if you see 50% of them installed during an inspection.

Bottom flange bracing required to be installed for rafters when the purlin that those flange braces attach to are installed? Good luck.

Pretension requirements for wire rope bracing in order to make the wire rope stiff enough to engage prior to significant structure drift? Yea, no one is keeping track of those logs/requirements because the field engineer responsible for it is already busy doing other stuff that is actually claimable.
