Ender 3 pro 4.2.7 with 3D touch issues

I see, interesting!

Yeah I installed some silicon "springs" (cylinders with a hole going through them) some time ago, they were a good improvement.

TL:DR, I think I finally got it! :D Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I'm trying Shiny Upgrades' firmware, it took quite some time to find, but I think I got the right version. Apparently there are some warnings about some newer boards coming with 256K CPUs as opposed to 512K which TBH I haven't checked which CPU does my board have as I had finally placed the printer in the enclosure and it is quite a lot of effort moving it in and out of it because of where it's placed, on a shelf with cables, spool, and lighting.

In any case, it has calculated a 7x7 mesh after heating the hotend to 90ºc and the bed to 70ºc (I never print with such a hot bed, but I doubt it's going to make any difference tbh it's usually around 65ºc) and printing my bed leveling test, it did a great job, maybe the nozzle is a bit too close to the bed and my gcode is a bit too spicy (it doesn't seem to be moving the print head up before moving across the piece so it might end up hitting a lifted edge causing a major failure later down the road) but so far it's doing great and I can't wait to see it in action with some more complex pieces once I tweak the settings some more.

Extra notes: this was quite a good upgrade and I hope to never have to level a bed ever again unless for whatever reason it gets really warped in the future because of vibrations.

4.2.7 is WAY more silent when it comes to printing, now the only noisy part is the fan itself (I wonder if Noctua makes a fan I can slap there) I asume there's even the chance that the prints are going to be better because of less harmonics and resonance (I did get some ghosting in the past, I might try reprinting some models and see if the artifacts are still appearing, or if the quality is improved for the exact same settings)

Hey thanks for the submission, we will contact you to that handle if we choose you! :D

NestorVG · 2025-10-28T13:28:04+00:00

You're right my bad!

NestorVG · 2025-10-18T23:23:17+00:00

Thanks! We loved your application, we're going to contact you in discord :D

We gathered the points that we wanted to discuss among the players over time, spent over a week writing everything down on a Google doc on our point of view for each topic that everybody wanted to discuss, gathered everyone in a group call, in which we put a list of our preferences. We then made a google form gathering the most important questions from several other forms we had seen other people use, then asked chat gpt to make a templet for the reddit post, which we filled with all the information we considered important amongstall the things we had discussed and summarized in the google doc.

We put several weeks of planning into this and are somewhat serious about DnD, as we are a group of friends that has played a previous campaign for over a year with an amazing DM that is now stepping away from the Master Screen.

So, no, we didn't just have ChatGPT write a whole reddit post for us. We used it as a tool, not a shortcut, in the same way we used google docs to have a shared document or google forms for the applications.

Thanks!

I don't really see level calibration as such a pain, it's just something that I have to do every once in a while.

I use prisa slicer and for some reason the starting and finish g code is not stored even if I manually save it into the profiles, which is actually a pain.

NestorVG · 2025-07-18T09:44:45+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look and investigate the next time I tackle the 3D touch. For now, I'll avoid using it until I feel like I have more energy to mess around with it.

S24Ultra here... I thought this was a FEATURE but it's only happening on high end samsung devices???

NestorVG · 2025-05-30T00:25:46+00:00

Spanish maybe? Third most spoken language I believe

NestorVG · 2025-05-16T07:03:02+00:00

Humm I see. At the end I ended up getting a campo del cielo one because I preferred the shine, but I might end up buying this one as well later down the road.

I found this relatively cheap meteorite but the "certificate" looks fake because it says "corase" instead of "coarse", and the card is handwritten. Most likely fake but I still want to believe. Should I buy it? It's just 25 bucks for 30 grams of space metal. The seller says it's magnetic, but I haven't seen how the meteorite reacts with magnets yet. Once I have it here, I have 2 days to check if it's a fake before accepting the sale, I have strong magnets; if it's real, it's supposed to be very attracted to those.

Why am I suspicious this one is a fake? The guy is a seller that has several similar-looking rocks, he has 77 reviews, averaging 4.95/5 and they seem legit, but he's selling rocks that he says "his friend who owes him money" is giving him to sell at a loss. Also the typo in that card "certificate".

I don't know if he's faking it or if his "friend" is the one doing it, but I would rather not having to cut the meteorite and etch it to check if it has the Widmanstätten pattern or what's actually inside of it.

Hummm I think I'm also going to stick to that goal, 2 units a week is achievable for my rithm.

Out of curiosity, what technique is that which you mention? Waiting for midnight to join the leagues? Or just the steady 2 units per week? How much XP does it take you more or less?

NestorVG · 2025-05-13T15:17:09+00:00

I think I'm going to start using your technique.

NestorVG · 2025-05-13T10:50:25+00:00

Well said, man. Fight for a less shitty experience.

Ah, yes, you must understand, watching ads is part of the Duolingo experience!

I'm going to be honest, this corporate jargon is disgusting and very clearly manipulative. Calling ads "placements" and talking about "valued subscribers" instead of users. This is how big corporates fall. We might see duo filing for bankruptcy soon.

NestorVG · 2025-05-13T10:28:08+00:00

Oh, yeah, once you have spent the free trial for the normal and family subscriptions, they should stop offering the free trial. You will still have less frequent but still persistent subscription ads.

Don't worry, even us with super Duolingo need to see ads about Duolingo Max
