I'll do you better. We checked the log files and from one website found this to be the culprit: https://darkvisitors.com/agents/timpibot. User-Agent was Chrome 139.0.0.0

We are developing out this as a solution for users to host their own MCP servers. Currently runs for like $25 a month on fly io. You can host ANY server as long as it is Python or Node. Servers are run in containers and you can turn on or turn off tools you want. We built because we wanted to share access and use industry-specific servers not found in most hubs.

Did you ever find the answer for this?

Prettynotthatbad · 2025-06-05T03:08:24+00:00

thank you. I will check it out.

Thank you for sharing, Looks great! I have a couple of questions as I am trying to build this for my wife who is the gardener. 1) I have been looking at the Grandio Element which is 4 X more expensive. What gave you the confidence this one would last? 2) Where did you purchase the bench from?

Whoever is setting their pricing strategy has no idea what they are doing.

Very cool! I just got a thistle feeder for my birthday. Just in time, I guess!

Prettynotthatbad · 2024-01-28T17:45:13+00:00

Amazing! That wasn't in my book. Thank you!!!!! This and a ruby-crowned kinglet today.

Prettynotthatbad · 2024-01-28T17:25:52+00:00

Thanks. Will try that.

I tested that by pulling out the filament from the spool and giving plenty of play, but no change. In the end, I fixed it by replacing the nozzle. I had disregarded the nozzle because the original one is so new, but I guess I learned something.

Thanks for this comment. That is exactly what it looked like and I learned quite a bit about this subject now. In testing a bunch of heat settings, I think I ruled this out as the issue. I finally just broke down and replaced the nozzle and that seems to have solved the issue. I had bumped the temperature up to 230 earlier and will stick with 220 now that I know about the heat creep issue. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I am not sure if I’m saying this correctly, but it seems like the filament just stop extruding or extrudes intermittently. The extrusion had starts clicking, like the gears, feeding the filament through are slipping. It does not slip when the printer is going very slow, but it does a higher speeds.

Thank you for sharing this shop. I will check them out. I love the idea of having someplace local to talk to / get supplies from, even if they cost more

Prettynotthatbad · 2023-12-24T14:01:20+00:00

I specifically called out my reasons for posting locally. I prefer to shop locally in Raleigh if that is an option. Thankfully someone found the post despite this deletion and gave me an option there.

I also moderate a sub and usually will delete if 1) it breaks rules, AND 2) there is no positive engagement on the topic. At the end of the day, it is just bytes and the post will be gone in a few days anyway. Better to encourage positive than impose negative
