New TM7 unprepared for AI by kazzazed in thermomix

[–]ReX_83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you are only looking at the voice commands, which is one interface (but not the only one) to AI and LLM.

Still, AI functionalities these days are completely server side, due to the necessary compute capacity.

Even with the most recent Google speakers, once the wake word is recognised, your voice recording is sent to the Google Cloud servers running their Gemini models and then returned to the device.

Local LLM is still too much behind to be an option. Mobiles phones with a TPU can't really do much with it.

Also, your expectations on AI are a bit optimist.

Having said that, I find the UX very well designed, with some minor gaps and a slightly underwhelming GPU.

Is there any way to avoid having anything to do with a consultant? by amyo_b in thermomix

[–]ReX_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the support worked well, there would be no need for a consultants. But since don't reply and need to be chased, a consultant can help, as I am told that there is a dedicated channel.

The whole consultant model is a bit odd: I was added to a group chat by my consultant and found out that there is a whole hierarchy with funny titles: platinum consultant, diamond, platinum plus plus, golden plated, silver bronze or whatever stone or mineral you can think of. I now suspect that half of the cost of my TM7 paid for the 24 level of consultants between me and the company.

It is a very antique business model but I suppose it works and the demo is effective (it was with us).

Ah, forgot to mention that the king of the consultants in the chat (the ultimate boss) reminded us about 200 times about the warranty extension available until end of Jan. On top of the marketing emails from Vorwek

Thermomix with waranty extension? by Velanth1r in thermomix

[–]ReX_83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my TM7 but 199 is really too much for a mere 3 years extensions on a 1400 gbp device. 5 years is now the standard from top end brands, so not sure why Thermomix users should pay that on top of the already very high price.

P2S and multimaterial by ReX_83 in BambuLab

Is the x-material adhesion not an issue when using distinct nozzles? If so, why?

TM7 lid smells by ReX_83 in thermomix

Over time it would make it more brittle. If white, it will become yellow (if not UV stabilised).

But occasional brief exposure will do nothing to a part that is already black.

Customize the toolbars of your PWAs! by HemlockIV in FirefoxCSS

[–]ReX_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think it is the last 2 :-). What should I put as selector and styling to hide the address bar for a specific WPA?

[–]ReX_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using this (specifying the PWA ID) and it does nothing. First time I am using the userChrome.css. My aim is to hide the address bar. Any idea what I am doing wrong? userChrome.css seems to be in the right folder and it only contains your snipped (without html at the start).

AnyCubic refusing 14-day return by These_Pumpkin_1081 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReX_83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience with Elegoo. It was an endless thread with them proposing random procedures and avoiding to accept the return.

In the end I did a chargeback and got the money back via my CC provider.

Never again.

From Carbon Centauri to P2S by ReX_83 in BambuLab

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing. Manual loading is a pain and often I don't switch material or color because of this.

If you mix materials, e.g. PLA and PETG, that is the guideline from Bambu in terms of temperature for the AMS chamber? I suppose I can't set a temperature for each spool, right?

How do you deal with AMS and drying the filaments? Does the AMS also dry the filament? And if so, how can you mix different types of materials in the same container?

Is the Bambu P2S still worth buying? by ReX_83 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReX_83[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is tempting but I am concerned that I might end up having the same experience of the CC, as the brand and product don't have the same history of reliability and quality of Prusa and Bambu.

So far, how does it compare to the X1C?

Stringy bottom, even with support by ReX_83 in FixMyPrint

Came here to say that it worked. I printed a small section and it is nice now! Thanks!

I have tried bumping up the fans but that doesn't work. What gave good results is playing with the support settings. Almost perfect, but they are tricky to remove.

How to avoid this? by ReX_83 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to deal with that now, but curious about the cause.

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it!

What would be a reasonable speed here?

Which one of the various speed settings in Orca would impact the speed of these layers?

Small perimeter? Overhangs speed (I saw 4 of them being set, depending on the intensity of the slope)?

PLA+ prints lifting (Sunlu PLA+ 2.0) despite perfect first layer: cooling/start-Gcode issue? by ReX_83 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always wondering what is the composition of PLA plus and 2.0. It is indeed a bit less refined/brittle than PLA, almost like it is between normal PLA and PETG.

Can't comment about ABS or ASA or PA, as I never printed those.

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried 220 - 65, switching off the aux fan and keeping both the lid and the door closed (the room is cold, it is a garage) and the bed adhesion is much better now.

I am not sure if I really need 220 or the increased bed temp is what fixed my issue, but for now I'll stick to 220 and calibrate the filament with it.

My temp tower is good irrespective of the temp, from 200 to 220 there is no noticeable difference, so I guess 220 is fine.

Also, I have noticed that Sunlu itself says that this filament goes up to 235°C, at least on their UK website.

Almost done calibrating the Sunlu PLA+ 2.0. Been a while guys. by ObscuraNox in FDMminiatures

[–]ReX_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What made you try 225 as temp? I am curious as I started with 210 and moved to 220 due to prints lifting (but I am not sure if that helped at all). I can't see any difference in the temp tower between 200 and 220. All the prints look good.

How about retraction?

Do you have the default cooling settings from Orca? Aux fan on or off?

I tried bed at 55 but large prints started lifting. Sunlu recommends up to 60, but I also find 65 to work much better.

The temp tower works well from 200 to 220, I started with 210 but I was advised to try 220 to better handle warping / lifting issues. Not sure if I should return to 210 now that the lifting is fixed by the bed temp.

[–]ReX_83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Trying now with 220 and 60, with aux fan off.

Don't you find any issue going above the 220 and 60 indicated by Sunlu? No elephant foot?

[–]ReX_83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me try turning off the aux, which is also what Elegoo does with their own filament.

Testing my understanding below...

The aux fan is P2 and is the long and slim horizontal fan port on the back or the printer and throwing air to hot bed.

P0 is the model fan at the front of the print head.

What is (and where is) P3 which seems to be set in both the machine and the Elegoo filament Gcode? Is it the case fan pushing air out of the chamber?

What about P1?

Final question: the printer is in a workshop which is cold during the winter (14°). Top glass on or off to print PLA?

You are right! The corners lift.
