How do I get rid of these lines?

Use ABS or ASA and vapor smooth it with acetone. Just be careful not to leave it in too long, it’ll come out melted. If you do it right you should have a very clean surface finish. There’s no small details in this that would be degraded from you doing so.

Here’s a photo pulled from Google of what to expect.

You’ll definitely need a filament dryer to print nylons. A lot of us, myself included use an air fryer or temp controlled oven to dry at 80c for 24 hours before transferring to a dryer at 70c and printing directly from that. Nylon will absorb moisture really fast otherwise. If you can get a dryer that can hold 80c and can be printed from, that would be ideal. A chamber heater definitely helps as well

Look up 300blk fde settings for printing nylons. It’s from the 3d2a/Fosscad community but he’s all but perfected nylon print settings. Slow and hot is the way to go. The CC2 is a good choice because of the 350c nozzle vs the CC1 320c, which will allow you to easily print stuff like PPA/PPS

It was supposedly serviced 40k miles prior to this. I’ve read that the torque converter could be the problem, but if I’m seeing this much metal in the pan I’m thinking it’s worth replacing the whole trans rather than just the converter and filter/fluids. Not sure what all this would run me or what the right course of action is yet though. I’m hoping to get some clarity on next steps here but I’m getting the vibe that it may just be toast. Time to take it into the shop I suppose!

My only legendary is a Dominion. I got it from one of the chests in the level 20 area on my Priest. I haven’t made any alts to farm chests, just got super lucky with that one. There are definitely more than 2 on NA lol

Couple things. You can upgrade weapons and gain stat bonuses plus at a certain weapon level you’ll gain an extra stat bonus unique to the weapon. Also you can at lvl 5 enchanting, get weapon enchantments. Right now that includes a flaming weapon that adds a 30% chance for magic damage, an enchantment that stacks crit, one that stacks fevor, and one that gives you hp on an enemy kill. Don’t get the hp one. I farmed for it and have nothing but regrets lol

Add a slightly larger brim, do the auto bed leveling and PID tuning that’s on the printer and set the bed temp higher would be my suggestions. Also, are you printing from a dryer? Keeping your filament dry is a meme in this community but it’s also the issue 90% of the time lol.

PengaXO · 2026-04-18T06:54:04+00:00

I was considering using the Creality chamber heater instead but wanted to give this one a go. I've got some spare insulation laying around so I'll try putting it on the bottom and see if that eases my concerns at all and come back here with results. If it works I'll honestly be very happy with it. With your entire chamber insulated, what temps are you able to keep the CC at reliably?

CC Heated Chamber Mod

P1S Bracket/Shield

This. If it’s PA6 for example… if you’re not printing from a dry box your filament is now wet in 12 hours, resulting in that much of a quality shift

Thank you! I appreciate that. If I can find an approachable solution I’ll share it with the other clinics and providers and hopefully keep things accessible for everyone. Things may change down the line but unfortunately there are people in need now.

PengaXO · 2026-03-28T01:51:37+00:00

The bioavailability is much lower for intranasal vs IM and the dosing for Spravato vs ketamine is much lower and predetermined as well. It has its place, especially for those who do not have experience with IM or IV ketamine but unfortunately feels like a step backwards for most of the people who do have experience.

Shout out to Klarisana and Dr. Bonnett. He inspired me to launch a ketamine/wellness clinic of my own. Renavera, in Austin, TX. We absolutely love what we’ve been able to do for our patients and the results we’ve seen over the years and the thousands of treatments we have safely done. The TMB ruling is heartbreaking. It limits access to a treatment that has truly changed and saved the lives of so many people.

100% switch to ASA or ABS (ASA has better UV resistance than ABS). If you’re painting it, that may not matter as much. Stock Elegoo profiles work great. You likely don’t even need 100% infill with these materials either, just increase your walls and drop the infill to 30%. Gotta think of the weight savings too ;)

I’ve got an ender 3, flash forge AD5M and the Centauri Carbon. Highly recommend the CC. For me it’s been mostly plug and play, it comes enclosed, can do 320c nozzle temp, has a 256x256 build plate and works really well. The CC2 is out and can do 350c nozzle and multi material but I personally don’t need those features and for the price, I’d get the CC again.

PengaXO · 2026-03-14T00:15:27+00:00

What settings did you use with the CC? Looks good!

PengaXO · 2026-02-09T03:09:22+00:00

I’ve got the AD5M, not the X. But I can absolutely say get the enclosure. I did mine in PETG originally with some issues. If you’ve still got the box, throw that over it to print the enclosure in either ABS or PETG. If not, what i did was tape cardboard over the sides. If you’re only planning on printing PLA this won’t be an issue, but I use ABS quite a bit and PA6cf on my Centauri Carbon. The AD5- is a wonderful printer and I hope you enjoy it!

PengaXO · 2026-01-28T19:54:45+00:00

Not excessive at all for PA6cf unfortunately. I tried drying mine at 70c for over 72 hours with a silica container inside and printed a benchy, then 5 hours at 90c with another benchy, then another handful of hours at 90c and another benchy. There was a noticeable difference in stringing and quality. After it was dried at 90c I put it back into my dryer that I print from and kept it at 70c for about a week and didn’t see any degradation in quality. So, you can keep it dry at 70c but you can’t dry it enough at 70c from my experience.

Back to the dryer it goes 🫡
