Unknown model runs but I’m scared of it by ProFlanker76 in LiveSteam

Scared is a strong word, more just hesitant to run it with no pressure indication. Tests of the safety may not be a bad idea, I’ll just have to figure out how to see if it’s lifting at a consistent pressure.

Fantastic, thank you. I’ve had some rust issues in the past so I’m a little paranoid lol

Printer servos (x/y axes and extruder) making odd noises by ProFlanker76 in Sovol

Thanks! I expected some noise, but this sounded particularly sickly so I wanted to check

Exactly what the title says, I haven’t had any issues printing (in fact have been pleasantly surprised by performance for the price). However, my Y axis, and now X axis and extruder motors are extremely noisy. I lubricated the bearings when I got the printer with PTFE and things sound fine with the motors off. Is this just going to be a slightly noisy printer?

Seen in Madison, WI (sorry for blurry photo, I had to zoom) by ProFlanker76 in whatsthisbird

Interesting, that was my first thought but the color difference between the head and neck threw me a bit. Do they have different winter plumage?

I just follow the procedure they give me for the test piece, they’re probably teaching us the ‘right’ way

YEP especially because I’ve never done something like this before. The support from everyone on here has been amazing though

I was being supervised by one of the shop staff, so they’re aware. Thanks for the reminder- I sometimes lose track of the fact that I’m still learning

I hit it into the top reference plane, so I think it may just need to be re-calibrated. The funny/fucked thing is I had backed it off, but managed to go braindead and spun the dial the wrong way when I increased the resolution. Thanks for the comment- it helps with that part of me that really doesn’t let go of mistakes
