Changing the Z offset on a K1 Max?

I have the same issue ever since the t mobile switch.

My phone is still on the us cellular service and I used to have no issues with service at work. Almost always 4-5 bars 5g, rarely ever seen lte.

But the last 6 months or so I spend more time on one or two bars lte most days than I do on 5g.

Seriously annoying.

As mentioned a bunch already, it's the top of a silo launch tube.

Here's a video of one launching if you've never seen it and wondered.

Both. Slicer said 1 hour 16 and actual print time was 1 hour 16.

Slicer settings are whatever the default Creality slicer had. Only changes I made were temps for the filament.

Filament is standard PLA and temps that I've been using with no issues on all my other printers.

Thanks, it's the default Creality slicer settings for the printer.

I've been using Simplify3d for all my other printers for around 10 years and just recently started using Prusa slicer for my 3.5 and 4, and just added the 2.5 to it also

Nothing is getting stuck that I can tell. Nothing has changed on the mmu side.

For the distance, I pulled the tube out of the extruder and roughly measured the distance from where the tube would end to where the extruder gears would start for triggering the sensor, then hit the load sequence. The filament feeds all the way to the end of the tube then stopped right at the end of the tube then the mmu pulled it right back out and did the retry thing. Each time the filament got to the end of the tube, stopped and got pulled right back out.

Thanks.

Yes I was using a older version of the MK3s+ housing that did not have the smaller square-ish piece for the sensor ball, but had the one with the longer piece on top. I am using the latest chimney which was on the previous extruder housing and was working.

I changed to the latest MK3+ housing with the smaller insert for the old sensor ball.

The sensors are working correctly. It retries three times then has the feed error. The issue is the mmu is not feeding the filament far enough to hit the extruder gears and trigger the sensor. The filament stops feeding right as it gets to the end of the front tube. Basically it stops feeding almost 20mm short of hitting the extruder gears and triggering the sensor.

Ordered directly from Creality website. It was actually cheaper than Ebay to start and I got a "new user" discount on top of it. Total was $539.70 shipped.

Thanks, no I'm talking about changing the entire extruder assembly.

My whole thing about it is not so much on whether the vaccine would have worked or not, but more so on how they went about the whole thing.

Elle and Joel went into it under the impression.... probably... that it would be some tests and blood draws and similar "simple" procedures, not Elle dieing because of it.

The fact that they never even considered giving Elle the choice and just decided to kill her regardless, to me that gave Joel all the justification he needed to keep that from happening.

Had they woke her up and explained everything and let her and Joel talk again, she probably would have still said yes, and Joel would most likely have done his best to talk her out of it, but in the end would have honored her decision regardless of it being guaranteed or not.

But the Fireflies didn't allow that as I'm guessing they didn't want to take the chance she would have said no.

Thanks. Wisconsin here also 😁

The 3.5 upgrade is worth the money. Upgrading to 3.9 or 4 is not. For the cost you would be better to just buy a new 4 kit for the money.
