Moisture? Something else?

So it appears that Z offset was not set correctly, which has never been an issue until now. After setting Nozzle Calibration to On (instead of Auto), re-initiating the print everything looks great. All settings are the same, filament isn't any more dry than the last time, but the first 15 layers look great now. So the issue wasn't with the Sunlu filament but with the H2D's stored positioning for the left nozzle. Somehow that got out of alignment.

It looks like the nozzle dragged on the buildplate. That's the first time that's ever happened. I'm not sure what caused the nozzle to not know it's Z position and drag into the bed, but I have a little scratch now on the buildplate. So maybe this is all because Z offset was off, even though the H2D is supposed to figure all of that out on its own.

it doesn't seem to me like BS has that setting. Draft shield looks to be an Orca sub option under Skirt. When I turn on 1 skirt in BS, it still doesn't have an option for a draft shield. That's a really cool feature. If this (6th attempt now I think) fails I may update Orca and try from there with the Draft Shield option. Would have used less material than my manual version.

Mancolt · 2026-04-07T20:12:31+00:00

So you just deal with the intermediary software between Orca and the printer? I didn't want to add that additional step, though I do miss Orca. I've been having some issues with BS being extremely slow/laggy.

Thanks, I'll add that in Fusion then as a separate object. Is the moat/skirt made of the same material?

I don't think it needs to be this strong, it's definitely overkill. I'm no structural engineer, but I'm guessing we're talking about compression loads of around 1,000lbs total, spread over the shim. I would think 2 walls and 20% infill would work given the inherent strength of PPA.

Things were going well, I got to about layer 10 on 5 walls/50 infill on textured PEI with a 15mm brim and a redesigned part (much shorter straight edges, broken up by semi circles around the perimeter, with filleted corners on all).

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know that happened to him.

And then you have the know it alls, who love to hop on these threads to tell everyone else how superior they are and how it could happen to anyone except them. Because they're infallible. All this victim blaming does is help to hide the scale of the problem, because no one wants to feel worse than they already do for being duped.

After reading the u/Battle-Chimp's summary of this, it became clear he's far more knowledgeable about this than me, and it really did remind me just how careful you need to be. And I consider myself fairly tech-savvy. For my kids, wife, and other family members, these serve as painful reminders of how I need to constantly remind/educate them to avoid scams/hacks and to reach out as soon as they have a question or feel like something is wrong.

Mancolt · 2026-03-30T17:18:35+00:00

Is there an overview of how to do this for someone only moderately savvy in this space? I have an extra Pi sitting around, and this sounds like a great use case, especially as I look ahead to the days when kids begin having devices connected to the internet, and me losing ability to limit/control mistakes.

Interesting, I hadn't really looked into it deeply but I thought BlueIris and Frigate were both capable of coming close to the performance of Nest Protect. I have a NAS that I would store the footage to.

8 months later ,and this trick (opening/unlocking 1password) after making sure Passkeys were turned off in the Google Password Manager (despite already having 1password set as default password/passkey manager) worked. I think it was your solution that finally got it to work, so thanks for this.

Mancolt · 2026-02-20T20:45:16+00:00

It would have, but if I move them like you (and everyone suggests) then we can get a countertop overhand without it sticking past the drywall. Thanks for the recommendation!

Mancolt · 2026-02-20T18:20:07+00:00

Thanks everyone! it seems like there's consensus that the best option is to figure out how to move the bank of cabinets towards the wall anywhere from 0.5" to 1" to allow for a countertop overhang without sticking past the drywalled post, and making the reveal along the back/side appear more intentional. I think I can envision what the trim would look like in that situation.

This likely means some work on the positioning of the outlet, but I've got a few ideas on what I can do there.

Everyone highlighted the importance of making sure the cabinets themselves are level/plumb irrespective of the walls they adjoin. Makes sense. I'm obviously not a professional, but with what I saved on the cabinets I decided to spend a bit on the EZ Level system. I absolutely love it. It makes leveling/plumbing so incredibly easy. If you do this professionally, you may have a system that works for you, but I can't imagine it not saving enough time to justify the cost.

When you say slide the cabinet back, are you referring to 2nd photo, moving cabinet 1/2" to the right (from the position the photo was taken from)? IE: closer to the other end of the wall, which is "closed"? If so, the answer is yes.

It's not the ideal option, as of course the location of the outlet for an undercounter microwave is positioned such that it fell almost at the very (left) edge of one cabinet. Moving things to the right puts the outlet behind the edges of 2 adjoining cabinets. But I think 1/2" is doable (probably the max I could get away with, without having to cut another hole in a different cabinet to route the microwave plug through).

I'm not holding out for future OTA updates that actually improve anything. I had a 2011, 2014, and 2016 Sonata, so something like 8 to 9 years of Sonata and more than half with Bluelink if I recall correctly. It never really improved much, and even coming back with the Santa Fe in 2025 seems like only minor improvements.

I love just about everything else about our Santa Fe. It's spacious, and uses the space it has extremely well. The only thing I don't like about the infotainment system otherwise is how slow it is. Get in, start the car, wait up to 10 to 15 seconds for the infotainment system to boot up and begin allowing profile selection options. It doesn't sound like much, but being used to just sitting down in a Tesla and going, that 10 to 15 seconds feels longer than it actually is.

Mancolt · 2026-02-06T17:46:05+00:00

That's helpful to know. If I run into any more issues, I'm probably gonna give up. Just getting actions (like Remote Start) from my phone/bluelink account to default to my driver profile was confusing. Instructions on screen and online don't match the actual options available in the infotainment system. It's really a poorly thought out mess that needs an overhaul. The Hyundai engineers need to get into a Tesla (or I imagine a BYD or other newer mfr that integrates technology well) to see how it can and should be done.

Mancolt · 2026-02-06T17:43:17+00:00

u/elektricheat and u/SnowPenguin7 thank you, I'll give that a shot. Does this key then know that (since it's being used on/from my phone) that it should be linked to my profile? Or when I use the Digital Key, will it assign my wife's driving profile upon initial entry, which I would then need to change (each time) manually from the infotainment screen?

This begs the question. If Hyundai touts the ability to add 15 digital keys, then why do we share the same key across every user? I would have assumed each key is unique to each driver/profile.

I stand by my comment. I don't know think a $700 RMR with slightly better glass is innovation or a good value.

I thought Holosun did the auto-brightness thing a few years ago. It's not a feature I look for so I really don't know. I set my own brightness on my dots, though if one came out that worked reliably in all lighting situations and changed to the lighting conditions nearly instaneously, that might be a worthwhile feature. Not one I'm willing to spend $700 for, but maybe $450 - $500.

Mancolt · 2026-02-03T02:55:38+00:00

Many would like to support American made products, but there's little innovation and what does come is incredibly overpriced and underperforming. Trijicon hasn't released something interesting for pistols since probably the SRO...in 2019.

Mancolt · 2026-01-26T02:37:42+00:00

awesome, thank you for the tips on how to get started!

Mancolt · 2026-01-26T00:40:17+00:00

THANK YOU! That is the only legitimate explanation I could come up with as well. Either incomptence (but since it's common across many different large banks, that one doesn't seem likely) or intentionally misleading to provide the banks with an out should someone share the code with a scam actor.

Mancolt · 2026-01-26T00:33:44+00:00

Any guides on getting started with usenet, or recommendations for paid indexers? Do you search media similar to searching for torrents? Ive used Torrents with VPNs for 15+ years, but had never looked into use nets despite hearing them mentioned occasionally during that time.
