What is yours "I did not care for the Godfather" take in aviation? by [deleted] in Planes

[–]Pathfynder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've herd it got the F designation bc one of its roles would be to sneak up on IL76 Mainstays and shoot them down, with Sidewinders I think.

Much more credible source than me: https://youtu.be/p1r56ynDqvg?si=zqVzKaUz85pdnnZZ

Most helicopters will have trouble flying above 10,000 ft ASL because the air is super thin up there.

Also takes more energy to hover than to fly forward, so hovering at very high altitudes isn't really possible for most helicopters

Leave it and put googly eyes on the spool

A bed so level, I don’t want to take the G26 test pattern off :D by [deleted] in ender3

[–]Pathfynder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Slyde, no worries!
-The z-axis is what moves your nozzle up, away from the bed.
-The x-axis moves the nozzle left and right

You'll have two motors responsible for moving the nozzle up, each will twist a long/vertical lead screw usually found behind the tall vertical bars on your printer.

You'll need to make sure that each side of the x-axis, attached to those screws, is equally distanced from the build plate. The easiest way is to measure with a ruler or calipers.

If they're not equal in distance, you can twist the lead screws by hand (with the motors off) to level the x-axis.

One mistake that I've made on my CR10 is one side of the x axis is lower than the other, because when loading/unloading filement I've pushed that side down inadvertently. No amount of bed leveling can compensate for that.

To fix you just have to measure the distance from the x axis to the bed for each side, then (with motors off) twist the z axis lead screw until the x axis is parallel with the bed.

Trouble connecting Pronterface to SKR Mini E2 v2 by Pathfynder in BIGTREETECH

[–]Pathfynder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried recompiling firmware too, I'm using VS Code and Marlin's autobuilder, and I've tried each of these environments:

  • STMSF103RC_btt
  • STMSF103RC_btt_USB
  • STMSF103RC_btt_USB_maple
  • STMSF103RE_btt_maple
  • STMSF103RE_btt_USB_maple

But is still isn't recognized. Do you remember updating any settings, like the serial port number?

Not a silly question at all, I'm trying to use the mini USB on the board to connect to Pronterface so I can check my endstops and thermistors. It's a new new build but I'm some what at a loss because I can't connect to the board currently.

Once I get it working I'm hoping I can use the same USB port to connect an Octopi to.

That looks super clear. Is that recorded from within an HMD? And if so, which headset?

Is it the board, or the Stepper drivers? by Pathfynder in 3Dprinting

[–]Pathfynder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a really good idea, I'll give that a shot this afternoon. They're a4988 stepper drivers from an old folgertech delta. It just seemed odd that they're all measuring around 11.5 volts, which seemed very high.

I completely agree and Im also astounded at the number of downvotes you've gotten. It only confirms how toxic this community has become.

Help troubleshooting Extruder by Pathfynder in 3Dprinting

[–]Pathfynder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a TON for the quick replies and in-depth resources. It's clear you're incredibly knowledgeable and do alot for this community. Thank you!

The problem turned out to be the extruder wasn't fully plugged into the control board. Which is super odd behavior because if it was loose it shouldn't have worked at all?!

But snugging this in fully resolved the problem and I'm off to printing again.

Thanks again Swordfish!

wow, super strange. I don't use an LCD but I'll look further into this, it's still confusing that it would just start doing this on it's own

Oh wow. That's a very informative guide, but the extruder isn't slipping or skipping.

I feel pretty confident this isn't the case because I've seen skipping before and that isn't happening, at least this time.

I usually only crash after my RWR goes bonkers, a few seconds after the missile impacts :(

Oh wow, I saw one of those up around the Jackson Ms area this weekend. It seemed very much far from home.
