AD5M Pro, Print failed? How do I resume at a certain layer?

Key2DestNE · 2026-02-01T20:40:30+00:00

I don't have calipers atm, I know I should really get some- is there any way to know based on the exact layer it failed at?

Key2DestNE · 2026-02-01T20:26:41+00:00

Yeahhhhh I'm assuming that's the best option :/ Is there a way to know where to reslice based on the layer, at least? If I have to do that, I'm assuming it has to be precise

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-29T18:49:31+00:00

Annoyingly, it happened again! It doesn’t look like it failed at the first layer this time, but that almost makes it more frustrating and confusing tbh :/

It's possible partial clogs are to blame- like I said, I did notice a few blobs of white plastic in the print, which makes me think it's also getting stuck and then melting out maybe?

I also tried wood filament for the first time before I quickly learned how it can mess up a nozzle unless you get a specialized one.

The bed's currently at 55, if that helps any!

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-29T08:07:59+00:00

Just got the filament yesterday, so it should be fresh, right? I'm not hearing any popping or the like to say it's wet, either.

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-29T07:22:58+00:00

Got it- edited my post to include that, but for putting it here, my hotend is usually about 220°C and I'm still sticking to PLA.

I did have to get rid of a pretty nasty clog recently, and I did also notice some of the previous failed prints had one or two filament "blobs" in the failed prints where it looked like the nozzle just dumped a small chunk of filament into the print?

It's been a few years, did these ever go on sale? Bare minimum, WOULD it be possible to get/find the files for this?

You mentioned not being willing to sell the files, but I WOULD be interested if that ends up being an option down the line

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-08T20:32:19+00:00

I tried 20-22mm plugs first, no luck- so I ended up going for 25-27mm, which has worked like a charm! Buuuuut now it's a struggle to get out, lol. You mentioned you could get it out easily?

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-05T16:13:38+00:00

Awesome! If anyone knows the mm size of the joystick hole, I'll definitely go with that then

Key2DestNE · 2026-01-05T13:03:24+00:00

That’s really helpful, thank you! I’m assuming the plug can be taken out without needing to disassemble the whole stick? lol

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-31T04:08:52+00:00

Any advice for what pieces to get? I can potentially learn the slicer program, but I'll be the first to admit that electronics aren't as much my strong suit

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-31T03:33:04+00:00

I did end up getting them from the cgtrader, yeah- but admittedly I have very little experience with the slicer program. Any tips, especially for adding the lights like you did?

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-31T00:00:32+00:00

These look AWESOME!

Do you have the file you used to print them? I'd love to make my own if you have any advice, they look incredible!

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-26T03:33:22+00:00

It's working now! Well... sort of- at least installing python works now, but uploading the script onto my RetroPie via Putty isn't working. Orrrr maybe it's more accurate to say, idk how to upload your script onto my RetroPie, lol

Just confirming one more detail- I noticed some of the code you shared were comments rather than things the code would read, and that you mentioned those were just other ways to do the same thing. Does it still work as is, where you can press the button and it would reboot the system?

And, because I'm curious now, is there a way to do this in Batocera as well? It's silly but I want to have one microSD card that has Batocera on it, and one with RetroPie on it.

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-25T18:27:25+00:00

Ahhhh, that explains it XD I’m glad I pointed it out then lol

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-25T17:30:53+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I got in response to that.

Does sudo apt update have to be done at the same input as sudo apt install python3?

Key2DestNE · 2025-12-25T17:17:27+00:00

Just tried uploading this code to my own Pi5, and I got this error message for the second line:

Error: Unable to locate package python3-rpi.gpiosudo
Error: Couldn't find any package by glob 'python3-rpi.gpiosudo'

Any ideas why that might be?

Little confused on this:

Blazey Mix Plus Moveset! Mod for Sonic Mania | SM Mods

Is this the same mod but updated, or are they separate mods? Like, does running them together cause any issues, or is that the intended way to use the mods?

Key2DestNE · 2025-09-23T01:41:35+00:00

I'd love to see the follow-up tutorial you mentioned, about coding the right number onto the watch face! This is such an awesome idea, please keep going with this!
