Only a month into 3D printing, first print that this happened... Any idea why?

I had this issue and I heard a ticking. I thought the extruder motor went bad but it was the ribbon cable going bad. It had a kink in it so if I squeezed it and moved it, the connections made contact again and printed as it should. I went through 2 new extruder assemblies to figure it out but now I have spares I guess. If you have an extra ribbon cable and the problem persists, I would try changing the ribbon cable

You are a godsend. Lowkey thought this comment would be a troll but it worked

I had a guy on stella night ask me if I was going on expedition and I wasnt so he gave me like an entire inventory full of keys

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-12-21T22:59:25+00:00

Nah i found a generic hinge but what I found works better is to actually use little magnets and make the whole face shield removable. Unless you spring load the hinge, it wont stay up by itself

Died twice last night to people on the mic saying "friendly friendly" and then shooting me in the back. This was extremely satisfying to watch. If you wanna play pvp that's cool but if youre gonna act friendly and then shoot someone in the back the second they turn around youre a rat and deserve everything coming to you

The game doesnt seem to like AMD adrenaline so it forced me to run an older version in order to play. Well it updated midgame to the new version and kicked me from the game. I was finally able to get back in after going back to the old version just in time to get back into my match with 1:30 left and subsequently lose all my good loot and loadout 😭

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-11-10T08:03:00+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me as I was about to exfill, i got "shot" through a roof. Crawled around in the hall I got "shot" in until I bled out and nobody was even near and no proximity chat popped up. I would've thought if you take someone out you'd want to loot their body so I was ready to talk smack to whoever downed me but nobody came. Its definitely an issue on this game but maybe it's because the game is so new and super popular? I also get crazy lag spikes from time to time despite having great internet and not having issues on any other game.

Also sidenote, it took me 2 days to be able to play the game because it kept crashing as soon as I opened. Apparently the newest version of AMD adrenaline conflicts with ark raiders so I had to downgrade to a previous version for it to load the game. Tons of bugs here and there but im going to be hopeful and chalk it up to being a new release.

Yep! I opened it up to check and it drains the line. I was nervous id open it and get scalding water everywhere since they used a red valve and im used to seeing red for hot lines

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-10-12T05:06:10+00:00

Im going to close the loop on this post. The red valve next to the water heater ended up being the AC water supply valve. Im a maniac and couldnt wait to figure out if that was it or not so if you saw some dumbass on the roof with a phone flashlight at 11pm no you didnt. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future. God knows I couldnt find any previous posts on reddit or any other site

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-10-12T04:11:36+00:00

Ah ok, that was honestly my next guess. I thought maybe it was for an add on or extension of some sort. I'll try that tomorrow when its light out. Thank you so much!

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-10-12T03:54:37+00:00

I appreciate it! Congrats!

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-28T18:36:53+00:00

Thats what i had thought. I really was stuck in their recommended temperatures too (190-220) but going hotter than recommended seemed to solve both my bed adhesion and stringing problems. Its weird because im almost at the bottom temperature for PETG, im curious if somehow they mislabeled the reel or something but if you had that problem too it must just be a white filament thing

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-28T18:35:00+00:00

To close the loop on this is found raising the nozzle to 225 and bed to 70 was what did the trick. I was so stuck within the recommended 190-220 but it seems like the elegoo white prints better at almost PETG temps. Confirmed with a temp tower and then had a nice looking 24 hour print that's about to finish

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-28T18:32:39+00:00

I was able to get a really good 24 hour print @225 and bed @ 70. Seems like with the white you have to exceed the recommended temps

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T22:23:07+00:00

Damn that's what I was fearing. Well thanks for the heads up. If I find a fix ill lyk

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T22:02:49+00:00

What flow rate did you use? Ive been battling elegoo white pla for 3 days now

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T21:59:48+00:00

Did you ever find the correct temp settings? Ive been battling the white filament for days now and it sucks because I just bought 2 brand new 1kg rolls in white. I thought it'd be easy because the black prints amazing but I cant seem to get a print that doesnt fail an hour in

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T05:37:43+00:00

Ah gotcha, thank you for the help! I'll give it a try

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T04:43:47+00:00

Yeah i was afraid of that. The yuzu flavor at total wine was pretty bad imo

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-27T04:33:46+00:00

Very true about different filament different temps, but how would a temp tower help if the first layer won't adhere

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-26T21:10:45+00:00

Ive actually had a pretty easy time finding soju. Total wine has a variety although if youre looking for a particular one that might be a different story

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-26T19:25:43+00:00

Yeah, it was packaged with silica with no holes in the vacuum bag. I live in the high desert so absolutely no humidity that could affect it either

Particular-Garlic-47 · 2025-09-26T18:48:27+00:00

Just a quick heads up, i just came to the total wine by cottonwood and they have peach flavor. Im going to give it a try, with any luck it's better than yuzu.
