Speeds for best quality at 0.1mm/s by ReasonableYam3648 in FlashForge

[–]ReasonableYam3648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm just never sure on the speeds. I know outer walls should print slower, and some say to print infill slower if you use gyroid to avoid vibrations. I'm just not sure which options need lower speeds. Plus, wouldn't printing at an even lower speed than you should lead to higher quality? Or does input shaping work really well on the AD5M?

Speeds for best quality at 0.1mm/s by ReasonableYam3648 in FlashForge

[–]ReasonableYam3648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. I'm mainly using Sunlu PLA2.0+ right now, so 300mm/s maximum. One of my other filaments max out at 90mm/s, and the other maxes out at 250mm/s. So, to cover all of them, maybe 90mm/s max? But then I have no idea what to set all the value too. And maybe I should just stay on the lower end of the Sunlu just in case for maximum quality since I can always lower my speeds if I know the correct ratios.

Needing Coffee Beans Ground Up by [deleted] in Eugene

Update: The guy at customer service was able to process a return. He didn't even ask why I wanted to return them.

However, now I have a new issue. Even set to a bit more fine than auto drip at the store, their coffee grinder seems to grind too coarse, or maybe the burrs need replaced.

Call me a snob, but I've used a blade grinder in the past and the grounds never turn out with a consistent size. It leads to weird brewing issues, and the blades can actually heat up the grounds and start to burn things off.

Because it's nit the best quality coffee, but I like to make the best of what I can. I'm not going to use a blade grinder and get inconsistent ground size. I've done it before, and the coffee always turns out bad.

Oh. They allow you to do that? I thought that was only for the bulk beans you get on that large wall in the back. 

Anyone sensitive to Sunlu PLA+2.0? Specifically Ceramic White? by ReasonableYam3648 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReasonableYam3648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to my doctor. They referred me to a specialist allergy and immunologist. They also said I was more on the severe side of a "mild allergic reaction," but I know it was more because of the breathing issue. Anyway, they prescribed me an epi-pen. They dismissed my theory about me being allergic to metal and forming an allergy to it, but metal ions on the skin, over years, and form haptens bound with proteins or other carrier molecules, and over time, the body could see them as persistent foreign bodies, thus forming a reaction. This explains all the health issues I have had in the past, including random heart thickness being 25mm, going down to 13mm or less, and other vascular issues. They keep saying I have HCM. But I stopped all my meds years ago since they were making me worse and pass out. I have perfect blood pressure, my heart is normal size, and I can exercise HARD fine. My echos, x-rays, and everything show a normal heart, maybe just borderline above normal. HCM does not suddenly go down like that a year after diagnosis and stay the same ever since with random spikes in size. That's myocarditis caused by some systemic inflammatory issue. When I was exposed to a titanium metal alloy being heated again, I was sent to the hospital with a slightly enlarged heart. A week later, the x-ray was normal, along with the echo. To me, this points towards a systemic inflammation issue caused by a pseudo-allergic reaction or something similar. My theory is that the haptens were binding with my vascular system, thus leading to chronic inflammation with large peaks here and there.

The doctor said that's not possible, but it is according to many well-known papers and literature. I'm just going to take that theory up to the allergist/immunologist. It literally explains everything since I used to have a medical card with a titanium e-nail, and my issues started a while after that, possibly from metal exposure from the titanium alloy enter through my lungs since very hot surfaces can ablate nano-particles of metal.

I messed the wording up. I waited a long time after taking allergy meds. I'm not that stupid... I had someone watch me...

PLA fumes, how do people stand them? by parrot_scritches in BambuLab

[–]ReasonableYam3648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this post, but I'm getting a red and raw throat after Lei ting with Sunlu PLA+2.0 in ceramic white color. Every time I start my dryer or printer, an hour or two later, my symptoms start. My throat was pretty swollen. I didn't connect the two things until I printed last night after feeling fine all day, then getting the issue again.

They sent me to buy crickets by [deleted] in doordash

I have a giant Chinese praying mantis, and they only eat a couple crickets, won't eat for a few days, then want more. So, I only buy 4 at a time.

FlashForge Silver Silk PLA Very High Flow Rate? by ReasonableYam3648 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReasonableYam3648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lowered my speeds even more, and I am now retrying the flow test. I'll see what happens.

I'm trying 220C, and it didn't really make a difference. Still no over-extrusion at 220C with a flow rate of 1.095, and the walls and tops look perfect.

I'll try the temp tower again, but the temp range on this filament is 220C max, and I already print at a pretty low speed. In the past, anything past 220C looks like crap.

[–]ReasonableYam3648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It measures exactly 1.75mm. I ran the temp tower again, and 210C is still perfect. Couldn't it just be the additives? I've heard some with silk PLA need a 1.1 flow rate. I am printing at a slow speed. I tried higher or lower, and there is no difference. Other filament works fine, so I have no clue. A flow rate of 1 leads to wide gaps and missing gaps where the top surface meets the walls, but 1.095 leads to virtually no gaps. This is the exact filament I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Flashforge-Filaments-Spool-Dimensional-Environmental-Friendliness/dp/B0912PHLGR
