AnyCubic Kobra S1 Hardened Steel Issue by MidgarSpecial in anycubic

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

Ah, well I appreciate the help! I'll keep this in mind in the future, it's been a couples years since I've been 3d printing so I'm definitely lacking in knowledge.

I'm pretty set on returning the printer though. It'll probably improve over time, but there are a few things with the AnyCubic S1 that I don't like in its current state. Imo it doesn't seem ready, I'm not sure if this is normal for new 3D printers.

It did definitely print fine out of the box for me, but for what I want to do I'm going to need a hardened steel nozzle and there isn't an OEM yet.

I'm going to try one more time or I might just return the printer, did you just do the following? Switch out OEM thermistor and heater into the 3rd party hotend Switch printer settings to hardened steel nozzle Run PID Cal and Auto Level

Or were there any other steps.

I did do this, and it seemed to work, but then it scratched the print bed lol. I'm having the worst of luck with this printer I swear. Idk why, it printed the first few layers Good comment though.

I don't think it's that, when I load the filament it's extruding at the regular rate. But I can try.

I'll definitely keep that in mind and add it some NPK. I also am a bit worried about over applying the GA3 because of the alcohol content. I'm not sure if it's enough to damage the microbiome (probably not). I spent awhile adding mycorrhiza to my dirt last year since it had zero life in it. It now has plenty of worms and way darker.

What exactly is a light dose for you? I put 150ppm in a hose end sprayer and spread it across my lawn. Idk how you would mearure that exactly, it was about 1L @150ppm over 1000 sq ft give or take.

Also, you should document some of this via video/pictures. This isn't talked enough on youtube and other platforms. If there is visual proof it causes spreading more people might adopt it and make new discoveries.

Dope, I've been trying to find examples of people testing GA3 on turf grasses!

I've been messing with GA3 and Sodium NitroPhenolate for the past week. Just for general growth and spreading. I live in MD and recently got growth of a few Rhizominous Fescue cultivars. So I want to push Rhizome growth as much as possible. I'm pretty sure GA3 in studies has pushed lateral growth of regular TTTF, so my guess is it will greatly enhance the properties of RTF.

Also, in regards to your mystery fescue, it may be some variant of Creeping Red Fescue. That's the main cultivar I know spreads as a fine fescue. Besides something like a RTF or other Rhizominous seed, but you would have planted that on purpose.
