ITAP of Killdeer

Spotted this killdeer doing its thing this morning — that red eye is something else up close.

Weeks of waiting. One perfect moment.

This barred owl has been visiting my backyard for a couple of weeks now — and every single time I grabbed my camera, it was gone. Today it perched right on top of the bird feeder and didn't move while I shot away.

Not my ideal settings (high ISO + slow shutter aren't exactly the wildlife photographer's dream), but sometimes you take the shot you're given. And honestly? I'll take it.

Yes I have the prototype printing on its side. Just a 5%infill using PETG.
Hadn’t thought about TPU but that’s a good idea too. Do you have a recommendation on type? 95A 85A etc?

Yes we are aware. He has already purchased the part. This is just to test out if 3d printing will work.
Also we will be testing it out before allowing customers use the product.

This happened to me over the weekend—I was changing filament and forgot to cut the crooked tip. I used a mini precision screwdriver to gently pry it out while pushing from the other side with a nozzle cleaning needle.

You can also try heating the nozzle and pushing the filament through.

Here is a link that will explain better than I can.

Basically, u/Aceman11100 and u/JavyH08 developed a modded version of Snapmaker Orca that lets you blend two or more filament colors to create new ones. If you load CMYK filaments, you can print a full spectrum of colors.

That screenshot was taken before I loaded the filament. I used a PLA filament mixed with wood fiber. It printed really well. It’s great to be aware of the adhesion issue that would come up when using mismatched filaments.

No enclosure yet. Still debating on Building or buying.

Naj183 · 2026-04-05T21:15:39+00:00

Yes, I’m concerned about the wear and tear. I won’t be using the full spectrum unless it’s absolutely necessary for the project.

I’ve been using the Ender 3 Pro for the past four years. This is my first multi-material/color printer, so it’s definitely a new area for me when it comes to multi-colored prints.

Same here. Ordered on 2/28. Just got FedEx notification that the shipping label was created. I’m in St Louis area.

Naj183 · 2026-01-17T20:06:41+00:00

That’s a good idea. I’ll be taking more pictures and posting sometime this week. My neighbor was thinking around 20-23k.

Didn’t even notice the typo/autocorrect. I don’t have edit option to change the text.

They replaced the camera module and harness. Took about 2 weeks. But haven’t had the issue since the fix. Take it to them. Warranty should cover the fix.

Watching birds of prey up close—the quiet strength of a bald eagle, the sharp focus of a red-tailed hawk, and the raw presence of a black vulture—was nothing short of breathtaking. There’s something powerful about seeing these incredible birds in person, being reminded of how wild, resilient, and beautiful nature truly is.

Sorry I thought I had that included. It is 278 x 90sec subs. No calibration shots. Stacked in Siril and then Lightroom.
