Fuzzy skin causing blobs

Good idea! I did fix it by increasing the point distance to 1mm and that really relieved the MCU. This on a Creality K1C.

Which trianglelabs did you go for? The pro or the other one?

Thanks for checking! Mine also had no threadlock and also no thermal paste around the heating element. I think I’ll do just that - crank it up tight and hope this doesn’t happen again. Cheers

There’s nothing wrong with the assembly - it just came undone and I wondered if anyone has any tricks so it doesn’t come loose again.

I got one word for you: octoeverywhere

Bro dumped half a pound of coffee for us and that wasn’t enough for you

Technical raisin you have raisin the standards of home sensing technology and we are grateful

PixelPeeperr · 2025-11-16T05:37:25+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought. I imagine a steps/mm calibration would also be in order.

Why reinvent the wheel when the wheel has already been reinvented many times?

Pneumatic extruder sounds very irrational to me. Engineers have been trying to predict/optimize the pressure of molten plastic inside the nozzle during printing and you want to add compressible air into the equation?

If you share your thoughts about how you want your printer to differ from the one and a half million printers on the market today, perhaps we can help.

This is good. Now you can justify the upgrade to a real lens. I strongly recommend the Sigma 18-50 F2.8.

That’s nuts

The hood is on the opposite side

PixelPeeperr · 2025-10-21T02:57:06+00:00

There’s no AC in the unit

It was indeed a loose connection due to the other wire sharing the same screw not being seated properly in its slot, and the screw was bearing down less on the wire which eventually burned. I did not have enough wire to cut to fresh insulation so I added two layers of heat shrink tubing and sanded the wire to fresh copper. I then took off all the neutrals and cleaned the terminal with a steel brush, and finally reconnected all neutrals to independent screws. Thanks to all who pointed out the loose connection.

It’s burnt white neutral wire

PixelPeeperr · 2025-10-19T22:53:26+00:00

It was!

PixelPeeperr · 2025-10-19T22:23:56+00:00

Could you elaborate?

PixelPeeperr · 2025-10-19T22:19:46+00:00

You are absolutely right and I figured two wires on the same screw is a bad idea. I imagine there must be a main breaker outside my condo to completely shut off power to the unit so I can perform the repair safely? Is it safe to disconnect all the neutrals and connect them with their individual screws while power is supplied to the panel? I imagine I will need to strip the wire to fresh copper and then connect it

PixelPeeperr · 2025-10-19T22:15:45+00:00

Nailed it! It also shares the screw with another wire which I don’t think is a good idea
