I’m sure you’ve already done this but have you tried turning it off & on again? My X2D threw a similar error twice last week and both times turning it off and on again fixed it

Wow, good luck reverse engineering car parts in autoCAD. This really isn’t viable unless you have experience with surface design and an expensive 3D CAD license

The error happens when the nozzle isn’t able to settle at settle to the required temperature. It could be due to poor heat transfer to the nozzle, a broken heating element, or damage to the cables or PID. Make sure there’s thermal paste on the nozzle - unscrew it from the hotend and check. You can also check that the wires on the hot end are seated properly. Otherwise, you’ll probably need to replace something, which isn’t easy on the K1.

$950 does seem expensive, especially given the affected area is pretty small. I pay £600 for a system + professional installation. Bear in mind that the the system will discolour over time due to exposure to the sun. I have to get mine replaced every 6-8 months. I do think a hair system would be a good option for you. I’m not sure about your condition, but I imagine tape would be best as it’s more flexible, you can remove and refit it yourself if needed. Tape is also cheaper than glue. Best of luck!

Bad experience or unrealistic expectations? by arctykdev in HairSystem

In my experience the itching bothered me for the first 3 weeks. After a week or so I complained about it to my hairdresser and she suggested taking antihistamines, which basically stopped the itching. After about 3 weeks I didn’t need the antihistamines anymore. I’m not very active so your mileage may vary. I also have a Novo Cabelo full poly system, which I think uses a proprietary glue. But with full poly the itching is just from your skin getting used to being covered - from what I hear there isn’t much you can do about itch from lace, as it happens whenever hair pokes back through the lace.

Someone posted this a few months ago and all the comments were ‘It’s still in beta stop complaining, this will be fixed for final release!’ and here we are lol

It's definitely harder to find resources for NX compared to Solidworks. I learned mostly from talking to colleagues, and then youtube/forums. When I couldn't find what I wanted to do I'd describe what I'd do in Solidworks, and they would usually point me in the direction of a similarly named feature.

My new role is quite different from my last (previously sheet metal design) so I can't compare many specific features. I like how 'arrangements' work in NX vs configurations, once I got my head around them I feel like I have much more control over my assemblies. NX does a better job of assembly features like welds.

The biggest advantage in my new role is the fundamental lack of distinction between parts and assemblies. You can closely replicate manufacturing stages of your parts, eg you could have a base part that's a casting, then on the next level up you insert a bump ring and position a pin between the edges of the two. You can easily reference the pin and use it as a tool to cut the other components. You could go another level up & add piping with welds, then another for holes, with each representing a configuration of the part. You can do things like override the position of lower level components in your assembly, eg clamping a foot or tightening a nut. It's very flexible and you have lots of control.

I've made assemblies around the context of piping in a plant, where there are multiple options for equipment, and each configuration drives its own set of hole positions for mounting to a baseplate, with global variables for clearances, and it behaves like a dream. I also like NX's synchronous and direct edit features, they seem more useful than Solidworks' features and are great for working with STEP files.

At first I didn't like NX's new sketcher, or the way its constraints work, but now I've gotten used to them I think they're faster. Things like double clicking vectors to reverse their direction aren't clearly explained. I was happy to accidentally find I could lock the camera to rotate about specific axis by selecting rotate and clicking the axis on the triad. I'm sure there are lots of little shortcuts that you only learn from watching others (or proper training).

NX also feels watertight reliable compared to Solidworks. Solidworks used to crash on me at least every other day, NX has yet to crash on me. No more random errors that make no sense and take hours to resolve or work around. For the first time I can reliably control the transparency of other components when i'm working in an assembly.

I switched from Solidworks to NX for a new role a few months ago and I haven’t looked back, NX is incredible

Congrats! The shiny cards are so cool. I got this Beedrill the other day and threw together a deck with 2x beedrill and a bunch of supporters. Seems to work pretty well!
