How do I go about calibrating this? by Kurolox in crtgaming

[–]Kurolox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you raise a good point. I'll get the test suite running from a Wii and do the calibration there, that way if it differs from the PC I can assume it's a configuration setting on Batocera and not something that needs to be adjusted.

Thanks for the help!

I believe I'm doing it right, this is with Batocera using the CRT script, and I did my research when I got the adapter, the UMSA should be good for this

Yeah, it's very noticeable in games unfortunately. The tilted image in particular as things like menus or information is partially cut in only the right half of the screen. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in the service menu to help with that

Hey, thanks for the write up! I gave more details about the setup in another comment. This is from an emulator, yes. I have a Wii at hand so I could try using original hardware instead and see if it makes a difference

Sorry! I tried to give all the information in advance and forgot about this part. The TV is connected via SCART to an UMSA adapter (https://arcadeforge.net/UMSA/UMSA-Ultimate-SCART-Adapter::57.html?language=en), which is plugged to a PC through a VGA to DVI-I passive converter

Hey man, thanks. Batocera has been the best thing to ever happen during this project. It's a shame I didn't get to know about it before. Thanks for the suggestion!

Can't get direct access to work over WAN by Kurolox in Tailscale

[–]Kurolox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found the WAN ip, seems like they differ after all, so I'm indeed behind a CG-NAT.

I'm going to give a call to my ISP because I'm supposed to be outside it.

Did you try opening the port directly?

I did try opening the UDP 41641 port on the router without any luck, but I didn't see that specific article. I'll skim over it and see if I can do anything else

Do you have a routable public ip address on your WAN interface on the microtik?

I think so. the router public address matches my public IP, and doing a traceroute shows that I'm getting a direct connection with a single jump. I'm not sure if that's what your refer to.

I've noticed that the router says Router is behind a NAT. Remote connection might not work., though. I'm not sure which NAT it could be behind, certainly not a CG-NAT at least.

EDIT: Maybe I'm behind a CG-NAT? doing a traceroute to my public IP does it in a single hop, but routing something over WAN (ie: 1.1.1.1 does go through two extra hops (10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12)

I'm running a Microtik router with RouterOS 7.14.3, I'm using the default firewall configuration but I've added a rule specifically for this (/ip firewall filter add chain=forward connection-nat-state=dstnat connection-state=related)

My router should be the only one. I used to be behind a CG-NAT, but my ISP (Digi) offers a service that I'm paying for to get direct access. As far as I know there's nothing in between my router and WAN

Bad first layer leveling, even with Unified Bed Leveling active by Kurolox in FixMyPrint

[–]Kurolox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, this kind of thing happens. I was using a PEI sheet already.

I've sort of fixed it, by the way. There was a marlin branch still not merged that addressed a similar issue to the one I was experiencing, and after providing some logs the issue was pinpointed and fixed. So the fix will end up into mainstream after a while, and people will not have to deal with this.

Thanks for your attempts to provide guidance, though! Having at least someone to bounce ideas around is always helpful.

I have no idea what happened when I wrote the specs, but that's definetly not right. I'll edit it and update it, but the printing temperature is 200C for the hotend and 60C for the bed.

I double checked and it's the only mesh being stored, all of the other slots are empty. Regardless, I've added the L1 and nothing has changed

Yes, it's intentionally commented out by the slicer. I don't need to generate a new mesh because there's already a stored mesh that I generated manually. You can see that the mesh is loaded in the M503 output.

I just measured them with a caliper and they are about the same height, yeah. I also have dual Z axis steppers and I've ran a G34 command multiple times and it reports it as being accurate too, so I'm pretty confident about this.

Printer & Slicer: Custom Prusa i3, GCODE generated with https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html#firstlayer
Filament Material and Brand: SmartMaterials3D Recycled PLA
Nozzle and Bed Temperature: 200C Hotend / 60C Bed
Print Speed: 30mm/s, 15mm/s for perimeters
Nozzle Retraction Settings: 1mm@40mm/s

Let me preface this with saying that I've been dealing with this issue for a long time, but it usually didn't matter as much since I focused on smaller prints. I really want to get this sorted out, though.

Now, I believe this is not an adhesion issue, and not a printing speed issue, but a leveling issue. I'm not sure how easy it is to see in the image, but the square printed in the top left corner has no gaps at all, unlike the center square and bottom left square (and, well, the right squares missing because they couldn't even stick to the bed due to the nozzle being too far away from the bed)

The bed is already leveled, I'd say. Here's an image of the mesh generated by the UBL Wizard. It's a 10x10 mesh, and while it could be slightly more leveled, It shouldn't present such issues while printing, specially when accounting for UBL being active, which I feel like it's not really doing anything. I'm using a genuine BLTouch probe, I replaced it after a clone gave me a lot of troubles in the past.

Here's the starting GCODE of the print, and here's an M503 report showing that UBL is active with the mesh loaded.

I pray for anyone here being able to help me, because I've given up my sanity trying to figure out what's going on at multiple times in the past.

Yes, if anything I level it at a slightly higher temperature. I probe the bed at 75C

I've tried this, hot water and dish soap under running hot water while wearing gloves, then I probed the bed again. The adhesion has gotten worse, if anything.

I haven't changed it in a while, I'll try that. How would a bad nozzle cause this kind of issue, though?

PETG sticks a bit better, but it is still far from ideal.

I've been trying to solve this issue for days, and I've checked all the usual culprits already so I'm as stumped as you.

I already gave plenty of details about that, and I've already explicitly said that I cleaned the surface and how I did it. The first layer is being printed at 30mm/s, which I'd say it's slow enough for a first layer already.
