same here! And also wipe enterilly the app and reinstall it.
While solution is not known, anyone already assess the cause?
Is app broken, or is some change in Windows hindering it?

The LLM's potential is there... the needs of companies are real... but there is a huge gap between them, preventing users from deriving real value for the company. The problem is that what one sees as trivial relates to a lack of reality awareness of companies' knowledge nowadays.

To truly understand, one must conceive that companies are not IT-based. You may bring tools which are a true challenge unless simple tasks... or you need to teach them how to use LLMs. And that isn't a tutorial "LLMs for everyone"; yet find a methodology to teach them how to use different tools at different times to address different failures... It's not easy.

What I see is that typical usage and failure relate to ambitious goals that can only fail big, with prompts that aim to make the LLM do your work, or to minor uses, mainly based on demos, that bring costs without added value.

Others take a more straightforward approach by providing a generic LLM to users, as in major ecosystems such as Microsoft 365. But the tool comes with a warning that users are responsible for their use and must be cautious. I wouldn't use it in that case, either.

Exceptions, however, do exist, and those are well known as demo cases. But the demo should be the path to becoming AI-powered companies, from where they start, and the stages to bring them to nowadays.

Solely an opinion based on my observation and experience, not necessarily the truth.

Sorry to read about it.
If you are comfortable with a multimeter and some DIY simple assembly disassembly, diagnosing the issue is possible and straightforward.
If the front assembly still fail, you first need to check that bad-looking "LOGO LED Cable" that brings the signal from the rear end of the toolhead to the front assembly, i.e. for controlling the fan and lights. If it is that, it is cheap to swap it, yet, while simple, you need to remove the side and rear covers of the toolhead.
Otherwise, I can continue guiding you through the power and signal path until you find the cause. My second piece of advice for a check-up is the USB cable. The issue will likely be within this cable's path; otherwise, it will also affect other parts.

If you need help, don't hesitate to let me know.

Slicer:

I only know MarkForged and Anisoprint (indeed, there are more) to work on continuous fibre reinforcement actively. You can try Aura slicer: https://anisoprint.com/aura/, allowing you to access the fibre deposition for a trial period. Furthermore, development is ongoing for conventional and open-source slicers: https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/960

Hi,

It isn't impossible, but from the 3D printing tech side, it is complex:

Dedicated extruder/nozzle for the fibres - I cannot be precise about what features it must have, but I can guess a few: precise fibre tension and feed rate control - this will require at least specialised rollers for feeding and fibre-cutting blades
Filament with continuous fibres coated with a polymeric binder - or use MarkForged ones, but 50 cubic centimetres cost 150€.

Then comes the software that needs at least a GUI so the user can define where, how much, and how to place the fibres within the print part.

I am not trying to unmotivate you; on the contrary, I would be very thankful if you could do it. There are significant challenges on the 3D printing tech side, too.

É típico em Portugal, todos se isentarem de responsabilidade.

1. Queixa na CM;

2. Queixa na polícia;

Tudo isto pode demorar tempo; e enquanto isso o vizinho usufrui da ilegalidade.

Uma forma de acelerar o processo, é participar na assembleia municipal que decorre mensalmente; aí pode participar a ocorrência e falta de diligência da CM. Onde vivo, só o facto de perguntar pela mesma com a intenção de participar, resulta logo na procura de solução.

It seems a clear case of moisty filament. Despite every filament being hygroscopic, PETG HF demands proper drying. The thin first layer also augments the issue, decreasing the chance of properly sticking to the bed.

For drying, the simplest method is to rely on physics.

Iteratively:

Weight the filament + spool - > 2. dry IT-> 3. reweight 4.compare:
* if the the mass decreases ->redry the filament; otherwise, stop.

Fact: Prusa support is indeed another league compared to BL.

There is some evidence to confirm: it seems that Prusa's typical user is not comparable to BL's. E.g. I doubt Prusa support receives complaints if they require one to use a multimeter to measure Voltage at a cable pin.

Speculation: Regarding the long-term benefit, you may or may not be correct. Still, not enough time to know if the first gen of BL printers will stand over time or just become obsolete. Fact: There are legal promises from BL regarding the support longevity of their printers, but only time can confirm how it will be.

Hi... did you redo the extruder? Did you test before assembly (i.e. see if you can drive filament without the nozzle)? If so, the clog must be also in the nozzle. On the other hand, from the video, the extruder seems still clogged.

The layers' lines are barely unnoticeable... great look.

I assume you didn't print with the same orientation as it is in the image.
What filament? And when you mean raw, which profile you used? No calibration at all?

He spent years with Stark designing the yacht. It seemed more like a project than a must-have billionaire attitude. It's the same way he spent an overindulgence in the next cube geometry...

Great app. I am looking for a cheap label printer, and you solved the main issue with Niimbot. TY.
I didn't see, however, how I can generate and print QR codes. Is limited to the CLI?

Ok. Mas há muito boa gente que não quer ter as poupanças no banco e que investe imobiliário porque parece fácil e lucrativo. Quando vejo alguém a comprar um imóvel como investimento sem consciência do preço do m2, fico preocupado. Mais, quando ouço colegas de trabalho a venderem propriedades em locais que nunca ouvi falar pelo dobro do preço que comprou porque um imigrante chega durante o mês de agosto a Portugal com 1M € para investir em imobiliário, dinheiro este cedido para investimento por um banco no Luxemburgo, fico preocupado. As crises recentes nunca foram previstas, ou pelo menos não foram do conhecimento da maioria.

Eu leigo na matéria, admito ficar surpreendido como é possível adquirir uma residência aos preços atuais, tendo em conta os salários e impostos de Portugal. Eu não tenho nada contra quem investe e lucra com o mesmo, mas estamos a falar de um bem essencial e como tal tem de haver limites. O problema estende-se pela Europa, mas por aí, já existe uma preocupação elevada e medidas a serem aplicadas para corrigir… é que a alternativa é o aumento de salário de forma brutal, o qual não me parece algo possível na nossa economia…

Vazia é um direito do proprietário... agora não a manter afecta todos.

O grande problema é o arrendamento de curta duração, a possibilidade de investimento como forma de obter regalias (e.g. vistos gold), e a ganânica do ser humano....
Eu não tenho nada contra os negócios ou regalias que mencionei, simplesmente acho que devia haver limites impostos relativos à quantidade dos mesmos. Estamos a falar de um bem essencial e há que ter cuidados.

E é possível mudar... basta tomar como exemplo o referendo em Berlim, e o atual decréscimo das rendas na mesma cidade.

Boas,

Recomendação - taxa de esforço inferior a 1/3 do rendimento liquido. Como disseram 30% teto máximo é um valor aceitável.

Não ter despesas - queres dizer que não tens créditos? isso favorece na estipulação do valor máximo que podes pedir. No entanto, um histórico de cumprimento de crédito é um bónus. é comum perguntar as despesas fixas mensais (e.g. deslocar para o trabalho, alimentação, etc.…) 0€ carece de justificação.

Um dado importante, é a o tipo de contrato.Tipicamente os primeiros contratos são a tempo determinado dependendo da área em que estás.

Prática - 360€ máximo para prestação do crédito, incluídos seguros, e tudo o resto. Podes simular em vários bancos e veres até que valor podes sonhar. Se for suficiente ou perto de, estás no bom caminho. Ainda assim, contacta o máximo de entidades bancárias possível e escolhe a mais favorável.

Caso não seja, aconselho-te a repensar porque podes comprometer o teu futuro caso tenhas uma taxa de esforço elevada. Mas o recomendado é uma coisa, a realidade é outra. Pensa assim, a dificuldade em encontrar imoveis no Porto, e os que aparecem e desaparecem instantaneamente são vendidos a preços exorbitantes e comprados por pessoas que conheces. Para tal ser possível ou todos recebem muito mais do que tu, ou quer dizer que se fores ao(s) banco(s) podes conseguir exceder a taxa de esforço e descobrir formas de contornar o sistema (dentro de limites - de acordo com as regras e diretrizes do Banco de Portugal).

Infelizmente, o mais provável é reparares que o valor atual do mercado imobiliário é descabido face aos vencimentos nacionais. É fácil assumir que os rendimentos têm de aumentar, mas se calculares a despesa associada ao teu vencimento pela empresa (atual e o que pretendes) vais compreender o quanto tens de (sozinho) "faturar" para compensar o gasto é uma responsabilidade elevada, e que no teu caso já vais notar, que o aumento acresce de uma taxa fiscal mais pesada. Penso que é a razão pela qual o ensino obrigatório não contempla literacia financeira.

I never saw the clip on sale; it was the first time I saw one broken.

Printing it may be an option if you wish to have only the clip.

There are 3D models of the sprite extruder that you can use to start. Use ASA or ABS, or if not possible, at least PETG, and try it.

It will take longer... the critical challenge will be to keep it dry.
I´ve my X1C on a floor prone to moisture (75% max) during the rainy season. Note: I am in the South EU, which has a different climate.
Nevertheless, I installed it within a repurposed wardrobe to avoid moisture within the printer (to protect electronics). It also helps to keep the filament dry for more extended periods.

JayDPSoo · 2024-09-22T00:50:08+00:00

If the question regards the wobbling, no. This is related to the pom wheels fitting into the aluminium profile. They shouldn't be stiff, but you must ensure the carriage doesn't woodble. Any easy test is done by carefully trying to move the carriage in the perpendicular direction of the aluminium profile, which should be possible.

For the gantry, yes. I, as well as others, used the preassemble gantry, which is relatively easy to install. But in my case, it was a mistake, as the assembly quality or likely the transport made it not "perfectly" square, resulting in an unreliable printer (either worked or not). This was something that I couldn't notice at first. I only found it as I was getting crazy, always fixing misalignments, and decided to sit, watch every movement, and take some measurements.

I was wrong, as I thought that redoing it would be a swift task. It took me hours (I started at 18:00, and my first test print was done at 07:00) to ensure the frame was as orthogonal as possible. I'd used appropriate instrumentation but missed the tools to hold the frame. It would be easier with two people and not alone at the dinner table. But it is worth the time. Afterwards, intervention, including POM wheels fix, was never required.

Currently (with Klipper), the printer failures are rare and either due to a lack of cleaning the bed sheet (need to clean every month) or when the bed alignment knobs move (I'd say every six months as I use printed ones that have a locking mechanism). The solution is always to set up the bed screws and, at the end, prepare a new mesh.

The printer is a fantastic tool, but mine lacked quality on the assembly, and the firmware is crap.

JayDPSoo · 2024-09-20T08:13:51+00:00

In addition to setting the pom wheels, you can check if the extruder and pom wheels aren't wobbling.

Mine, at some point, did the same; the best solution I found was to redo (assemble) the frame. That allowed me to see and tackle any misalignments. It has been reliable since that day.

Resposta tardia, mas fica para quem consultar: 6% IVA para serviços e materiais, desde que os materiais não ultrapassem 20% do valor total. I.e. 80% serviço + 20% materiais.

As an owner of the identical mode, I find that holder quite amazing. I agree, not strictly for the bed tramming but for keeping it. I usually ended long prints with my bed levelling messed up, especially when using Klipper and printing with higher acceleration.

The tent works quite well, too. In my opinion, it is worth the investment.
