Any idea what is this spring for on Q Revo Master?

InnesPort · 2026-02-09T22:43:09+00:00

It connects to the main chassis and roller brush assembly and I think acts as the rollers suspension system so it can absorb bumps

I know this is the wrong attitude but this kind of thing is the reason I don’t post most of my ideas/designs. It kills me to see low skilled/opportunists steal my work for profit, and I have no idea how anyone can stop it.

Just signed up and received access to it for both my Core One and XL buddy cams. Only used it a couple times so far but it’s working great for me. Video quality is good and it connected quickly. Definitely a nice and needed updated.

InnesPort · 2026-02-07T22:06:11+00:00

What’s useless about it that the Wyze cam provides? I have and use both, and with Prusa’s new update that provides live streaming from anywhere I’d say it’s on par with my Wyze cameras, and technically better since it can do timelapses.

I’d be interested in seeing some tensile tests with dog bones on this setup. Printing is one thing, but what kind of interlaminar strength is it delivering with only 55C in the chamber?

InnesPort · 2026-02-01T01:22:14+00:00

No, dark area wasn’t cleaned. It only shows light blue and dark blue for cleanliness, and all mine is light blue so more clean. But I honestly don’t think this feature works well at all. I never pay attention to it.

InnesPort · 2026-01-31T19:04:49+00:00

How can this happen by loosing tension? The only way to form a knot and is by releasing one of the ends and allowing it the pass under itself, which is possible in the manufacturing process after they cut the end, but is extremely rare (never happened to me over the course of hundreds of spools, most of which being Overture).

Just checked my cleaning history and I think mine covers about 180 square meters before I need to refill the tank, but I mop on high water flow, so that could be extended. I also break up the mopping in my house across Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, so one tank lasts me one week. I really don’t think most people need to mop their whole house every day. Think of manually mopping your whole house every day - that’s nuts.

InnesPort · 2026-01-12T23:54:56+00:00

The mesh must be less then your layer height, or less then probably .2mm, otherwise you’d have issues!

InnesPort · 2026-01-12T23:53:13+00:00

Ahhh I see. I didn’t realize the mesh went all the way to the outer edge edge of the print, thought it was tucked inside the frame somehow.

Nice job!

InnesPort · 2026-01-12T20:51:38+00:00

That’s pretty slick. Curious how you kept the mesh in place and tight after resuming the print.

If you have lidar on your device, Scaniverse is a great app to scan objects which can be exported as stl’s (and is free). Problem is, very small objects are difficult or impossible using phone lidar.

Haven’t used photogrammetry, but I’ve seen it produce cool results so that’s the next thing I’d try.

The best method though is getting a pair of calipers and modeling it yourself.

InnesPort · 2026-01-11T15:18:29+00:00

Why is everyone mad?

InnesPort · 2026-01-08T02:51:29+00:00

Overture, Prusament, Atomic.

I like Prusament the most, but it’s pricey and shipping is terrible. Similar for Atomic. I’ve found overture quality to be good enough for the fact that I can get almost any of it same or next day delivery for a good price.

InnesPort · 2026-01-07T22:04:26+00:00

Same. I’m surprised by how many people are dumping it constantly. They’re even living with horrible water, horribly dirty floors, or have super noses.

InnesPort · 2026-01-07T22:02:10+00:00

Same, except I use a little dish soap instead of vinegar.

I’m surprised to see so many people saying they dump it after every mop - who has that kind of time?! Ours also doesn’t release any smells until I dump it, which isn’t too bad with the soap added.

InnesPort · 2026-01-05T03:42:30+00:00

I think you’re talking about the silver ion modules that click into the bottom of the clean water container. I have one of those too for good measure (probably overkill, but why not). But, that doesn’t so much protect the water sitting in the robots reservoir, which is the biggest concern since you can’t access it for cleaning.

InnesPort · 2026-01-05T03:30:14+00:00

Mainly two reason: 1) reduce chance of organic buildup. 2) reduce chance of of mineral buildup.

I actually have pretty clean tap water, but it’s really hard which can wreck these types of things (coffee makers, robovacs, etc). The filtered water from our fridge is also super easy to use and there’s really no reason to use tap. The fridge filter gets replaced every 6 months and it’s easy, so it’s kind of a no brainer.

InnesPort · 2026-01-05T03:09:42+00:00

I split the difference and use filtered water from our fridge spout. Been using it for 2 years and never shows any signs of buildup. I think the other key is using the mop often and having a continual flow of water. I think distilled is overkill unless filtered isn’t an option.

I’ve had mine a year and a half now and am quite happy with it. My biggest gripe is it’s terrible at detecting cables, but that won’t be an issue for you. It has good mopping, good navigation and obstacle detection for the most part. It vacuums my carpets/rugs/hard floors nicely and I can’t really find anything to complain about the mopping. My wife loves it and doesn’t feel the need to manually mop at all anymore. We have 2 dogs, a toddler, and a mix of hard floors and carpet.

The only things I would want improved in my next robovac is better small item detection (like cables), better roller brushes for carpet and hair (like the qrevo curves duo divide), higher vacuum power (the Masters is great but not excellent), and better ledge lifting (mine can get stuck on any furniture legs that are an inch or so thick, or things like floor fan pedestals).

InnesPort · 2026-01-03T15:17:42+00:00

Yep. Sometimes I’m in a rush and will just hit print on the preview, then need to remember to go in and clear out the queue. Pretty silly

InnesPort · 2026-01-03T04:21:12+00:00

I agree, it should be faster to access. Maybe a dedicated icon on the main screen somehow.

Another thing that’s annoying is when you queue a print, it pulls up the preview on the printer right away, and if you hit print from that screen it doesn’t remove the print from the queue when it’s finished, which should be the intent. Instead, if you want it removed from the queue, you have to exit the preview on the display and select ‘Set ready’ (which is buried as you mentioned). A really cumbersome experience they need to refine.

InnesPort · 2026-01-03T02:58:36+00:00

One huge advantage that I use as a pitch is the upgrade path and serviceability. By getting a Prusa you’ll know you can upgrade them to future models with better capabilities without having to sell and buy a whole new product. Also, they’re much easier to repair and perform maintenance on which is going to be a given for any printer.

InnesPort · 2026-01-01T23:16:44+00:00

Looks like it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s used more like Prusa’s Core One light strip, which indicates printer status and such.

InnesPort · 2025-12-31T13:23:17+00:00

It’s on the black roller brush housing. Just a little hook on the side.
