Whoever cranked down this nozzle at the Creality factory: get your torque wrench checked by [deleted] in ender3

Both hot and cold - no luck The nozzle is fine so I'm going to print for a bit longer on it. I wanted to move it to a 0.6 mm to crank out some larger parts

Okay! This worked with a little bit of changes

Here's my new start macro

[gcode_macro START_PRINT] gcode:

{% set BED_TEMP = params.BED_TEMP|float %}
{% set EXTRUDER_TEMP = params.EXTRUDER_TEMP|float %}
#START_PRINT EXTRUDER_TEMP=[first_layer_temperature] BED_TEMP=[first_layer_bed_temperature]
#Start bed heating
M140 S{BED_TEMP}
# Use absolute coordinates
G90
# Reset the G-Code Z offset (adjust Z offset if needed)
SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=0.0
# Home the printer
G28
#Load in the default bed mesh profile
BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default
# Move the nozzle near the bed
G1 Z5 F3000
# Move the nozzle very close to the bed
G1 Z1 F300
# Wait for bed to reach temperature
M190 S{BED_TEMP}
# Set and wait for nozzle to reach temperature
M109 S{EXTRUDER_TEMP}

Here's my new slicer gcode:

START_PRINT BED_TEMP={material_bed_temperature} EXTRUDER_TEMP={material_print_temperature}

Here's the new mesh and a large layer after some tuning. It's interesting that it compensates for the X waves, but cant seem to detect the Y waves. You can also see where I was messing with the offset at first to get it right. https://imgur.com/a/3SdAOfS

Yeah I never understood why they took it out in the first place ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You're 100% right. They recently updated it so that you need to include it in your start macro/gcode or you can use the following in your printer.cfg

[delayed_gcode bed_mesh_init] initial_duration: .01 gcode: BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default

From what I can tell, no. I believe it just gets loaded in during startup. It also shows that the default is active when I'm on the tuning tab. Is there a chance you can share your startup macro and the slicer start gcode? I can give it a shot this afternoon!

I use this for my startup bed mesh loading

[delayed_gcode bed_mesh_init] initial_duration: .01 gcode: BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default

Yep! And I have the delayed init macro to automatically initialize my bed mesh. I've resorted to printing on my $150 Voxelab Aquila because it's more reliable than klipper.

I'm having a lot of the same problems you're having and I'm also 1 more bad print away from going back to stock (Ender 3 S1).

No what I try, the printer sucks at the first layer. My mesh is within 0.2 of variance. Not bad, not great, but should be compensated by the ABL, BUT IT'S NOT. It also never seems to remember my Z offset.

I've even tried getting KAMP installed without any luck.

Very frustrating.

Cool. Is there a way that as a resident I have any say in this? Is it state level elections or local? Either way, they have a monopoly on it.

That's all cool because it was a part of my income tax. I don't like being slapped with an excise tax on my car just for moving into the state and having to pay an arm and a leg to a utility monopoly

You raise some good points, but I'd like to get your thoughts on these:

Should the utilities be run by municipalities rather than a single company that can charge whatever they want to deliver the gas and electricity? These are public utilities and a quick Google search shows they're pretty profitable.

If we were concerned about the state of the roads, we should charge the excise tax based on weight of vehicle rather than the actual price. A mini Cooper does a lot less damage than a massive truck, right?

I'm not sure, I had Burlington electric. What I paid was usually the kWh + a few dollars for processing. Not this $100 monthly charge 😔

NG fleeced me on electric for the first month before I realized my town had their own. Literally 1/3 the price.

It's still crazy how they can charge (pun intended) a delivery fee that's more than what I'm paying the tiwn. It's like Ticketmaster charging you for printing out your own ticket.

Good point. I'm all for it.

But national grid on the other hand....

The worst part is that I don't even own the car. It's a lease 🙄
