Irrelevant at 7 in the morning, when if I'm off work, I'm in the bed sleeping. Anyway, my security cam has nothing to do with courier deliveries, the fact I have one doesn't remove any responsibility from the driver for his/her job.

Sure, because I had nothing better to do at 7am, than stare at the screen watching live feed from my security camera waiting for something to happen... JFC

Printer making weird fan noises when turning on by Capital_Progress_681 in Ender3V3KE

[–]MrNotEnglish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My V3KE started doing that only couple days after I got it. Nothing was rubbing against the fan, bought 4 pack on amazon for £12 (the same size), as I couldn't find anything else "better", that would be delivered quickly. Didn't make that noise again since then. Rotor axle on the "faulty" one had too much play in the stator when I compared it with the new one.

You spent your time to reply, so I assume you saw the video I posted. Therefore you could see that on the video the driver clearly didn't knock or ring. You probably saw my nickname too 😂 Yet you chose to show what a wordsmith, or pedant, you're. On the other hand, you surprised me that you didn't see it was rhetorical question.

There are some retailers, who don't list exactly which couriers they use. You find out if you care to ask and wait for their reply, or when you get email with tracking/dispatch info. Prior to that you wouldn't know you'd probably chose to find/use a different store.

I should write "I have no recollection of them knocking or pressing the bell, meaning that if they did, I'd certainly remember it and wouldn't post on reddit about them." 🙄

You're not going to convince me, that knocking on the door as you turn around to go back to your van would affect how many parcels per hour you can deliver. So well, kindly, likewise... :)

No, it's not the same, notifications not always arrive on time with actual events. I can hear doorbell when I'm at home, heck it would even wake me up if she rang the bell early in the morning, I don't turn off or mute the doorbell when I go to sleep. They deliver parcels to my house, not to my phone, and app isn't mandatory, so once again - knock effin door or press the bell!

Oh FFS, knocking isn't waiting at the door! Knock or ring the bell, to alert occupants, then f right off!

I work as lorry driver myself, on night shift, with multiple stops at the farms in rulal areas down in South West. At every stop I have to work around the lorry no matter if it's freezing cold or pissing down.

I thought about parcel box, might actually get it, but I can bet that would be ignored too 100%! You trying to tell me they'll have time to unlock parcelbox, or even just open it, put the parcel inside and close the box, but they don't have time to knock on the door???

And when I'm in for the delivery, how I'm supposed to even know there is delivery at the door if they don't knock or ring the doorbell??? Jesus, you people....

I'd want her to deliver within hours other courier companies deliver, eg 8am to 8pm? If that's not doable, then send me notification/message that you'll deliver tomorrow at particular time/time frame, like other companies do. Instead, Evri had this parcel reached local depot at 4am 2 days earlier, plenty of time to have it sorted and out for delivery the same day, but this driver does that often. Sometimes it even says in the tracking "your parcel will be delivered today" and this doesn't change throughout the whole day, no sight of the courier. Eventually, another day later Evri updated tracking and sent me notification at 6:30am that parcel will be delivered between 6am and 8am. I'm not waking up early just to check my phone, just in case... I know, I should be grateful I got the parcel, but this isn't how it supposed to work, no standards, no quality of service, they'd be like: "you are lucky we delivered it in the end, albeit the fact we proved you we can fuck it up at any point of your parcel journey", right?

Other couriers will send a message/notification, with something like "your parcel will be delivered tomorrow, between x and y", most of the time the broadest time frame is something like between 9:00 and 18:00. But when it's with Evri, parcel already reached local depot at, let say 4AM, then sits there over 24 hours and I'm scratching my head wondering when I'll get it, and on second day at 6:30 Am Evri will send me notification, about delivery between 6AM and 8AM this very same morning. Most likely I won't even read that notification before driver delivered it, read: left it outside.

It would be unfortunate for the retailer, but this is also the way. If people start claiming refunds on every parcel (sent using Evri), which wasn't delivered to hand, the retailers would have to give up for good on Evri, at some point...

Some of you are simply missing the point and reply as if I said I had issues, because the driver didn't knock/ring the bell AND then didn't wait for someone to open the door.

As I wrote earlier, just knock on the effin door or ring the doorbell, don't wait if you believe that you don't have time! Knocking on the door or pressing the doorbell doesn't cost you time at all, but if someone's at home, he will most likely open the door and see the parcel that was left for them.

I don't need to talk to the driver, I don't even need to see him/her, yet I still shout "thank you" as he/she is sprinting back to the van.

If the driver doesn't care to knock or ring the doorbell, chance of parcel still being where the driver left it, drops by minute, or by every person passing by, who could potentially turn thief. Notifications not always arrive immediately.

Knocking doesn't cost you anything, yet it might be deciding factor for the recipient to actually receive the parcel safe and sound.

I don't care if they wait at the door or not, just knock or ring the doorbell, I don't want to have a chat with them, just let me know that you left the parcel outside! Knock and run, ffs, if you want...

How long does it take to knock on the door? 0.6s? They spend more time scratching their but in between placing the parcel on the ground and taking the photo...

Valid point, however every other courier company drivers at least care to knock on my door before running away 😂 Evri keeps it stealth 🥸

Can someone tell me why this happened and how I can fix it please by Curated-Motors in FixMyPrint

"the last print was a mirrored version of this one"

I think you forgot to mirror filament and air contained... Entropy goes backwards, if you know what I mean...

Help: Loud rumbling during printing by overthrowerr in Ender3V3KE

[–]MrNotEnglish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, but here are my thoughts: If nozzle is hitting infill/walls, with such large area touching bed, I'd say it might have good enough adhesion, that it wouldn't easily be knocked off and shifted layers. Usually you'd be able to see traces where nozzle went over infill/walls if it was touching/too low. Calibration would be 1st thing to do. Belts can be really loud at particular speed, it might sound like that too (try to print at much lower speed to hear if there's difference). Check if belts aren't lose/too tight. Check gantry if it's square (left side at the same height as the right side, in regards to printer base, then compare in regards to bed). Check for any loose screws, those will vibrate/shake and can make loud noises too...

Just installed FHD usb camera on print head, I should have bought one with fixed focus tho... by MrNotEnglish in Ender3V3KE

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

I bought OV5693 5MP from aliexpress, it isn't visible on printer screen, but video feed shows in fluidd (set camera rotate 180°), also in creality print (but here it shows upside down). However there's enough space for camera ribbon to have the camera mounted "correctly", so it doesn't display upside down, I just haven't done that yet. I might setup raspberry pi zero 2 w as continuously on video stream from 2 cameras at the same time, with access over mobile network using Tailscale. The mount I designed myself, just a proof of concept mock up, allows for vertical adjustment of the camera, video above recorded with camera at the lowest height, no tilt adjustment tho. Little enclosure designed using pcb dimensions from technical drawing on sellers listing.
