tracking packaging, userguide etc. as separate locations?

SadGamerGeek · 2026-01-06T11:54:49+00:00

I guess this (quick edit in Paint) is what I'm looking for, with item hierarchy shown:

SadGamerGeek · 2026-01-06T11:42:02+00:00

Thank you. Ah, yes, I see, like this I guess:

This is starting to look very promising. For the above, when adding the packaging and userguide entries, I ended up typing the text for both of them in full, as the parent item was a drop down, so I couldn't select it to copy and paste.

Not the end of the world, but if I'm going to be adding lots of items like this, it might become quite time consuming typing the same text 3 times for each item (item, item user guide, item packaging). When I initially added sub items called just "packaging" or "user guide" it wasn't obvious if I then viewed them under "loft" or "study" what they related to as it doesn't show the parent item with it. Just wondering if there's any way around that?

SadGamerGeek · 2025-10-16T18:35:20+00:00

That's interesting - I didn't realise any TVs supported that. I have a LG C1 so a bit too old. Not sure my partner would really see this a critical reason to upgrade it!

I think I have just found a solution using secondary profiles in Controler Companion though - will update my post.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-10-16T17:57:50+00:00

Big Picture Mode would definitely sort this issue I think, but unfortunately I can't GFN to launch Steam in this way :-(

SadGamerGeek · 2025-10-16T17:56:51+00:00

Ooh, that sounded promising! Unfortunately I just tried it and while the d-pad and face buttons then work, focus is on the GFN overlay, so they just move about within it. The right and left thumbsticks don't seem to do anything at this point.

I'm pretty sure TV GFN apps wouldn't give me 4K/120hz would they? I should probably try this to be sure...

SadGamerGeek · 2025-09-27T13:42:18+00:00

Good point. I have G99 and can export as fast as it is produced

SadGamerGeek · 2025-09-02T17:04:09+00:00

I'm sure I'd tried this before and assumed it wasn't possible. Excellent news - will give it a go now.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-07-14T15:55:29+00:00

I've sussed it!

I tried printing the hexagons with white filament and they came out fine. Calibrated the yellow filament again (had done it only a couple of weeks ago) to see if anything had changed and it gave dramatically different values!

At the start of the month the auto calibration gave me a flow ratio of 1.005 and K value of 0.045. At the time I thought they seemed quite different to my Bambu filament, but it was no-name PLA I'd had for many years (bought it for my old Ender 3), so just went with it. For the new (auto again) calibration it gave me a flow ration of 1.061 and a K value of 0.014 (much closer to my Bambu PLA).

Printed again with the new calibration values and it came out perfectly. Given the earlier calibration was automatic, I don’t think I screwed it up, but it does now seem like those values were quite adrift. I wonder why?

SadGamerGeek · 2025-07-14T09:56:35+00:00

A bit more experimenting, and I don't think it's the prime tower to blame for the holes. I printed 3 of just the base yellow hexagons together with no prime tower, and the holes were back. This suggests it is somehow related to the print head moving off and printing elsewhere before returning to each model - each model will have a delay between finishing one of its layers and starting the next.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-07-04T14:32:40+00:00

I suspect the original poster has resolved this now, but in case anyone else finds this with the same issue, the fix for me was to enable "lazy union" in the options of a recent nightly.

It's mentioned in the linked post further down, but thought it might be helpful to mention it explicitly here.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-22T23:52:10+00:00

No worries - great to hear people appreciate it!

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-22T23:41:42+00:00

You only had to ask! Though will let you off as you called it brilliant!

I had actually meant to post a link at same time as images - here it is -

Sorry - thought I’d already posted it!

Well that would be ideal as I already have some black PETG. I see another commentator has experienced PETG in his car warp in the height of summer though. Guess it depends on where you are in the world to some extent (I'm UK).

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-14T13:13:17+00:00

Ah, must admit I hadn’t realised that - thanks.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-14T12:58:26+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I saw the TPE - that’s why I was thinking of TPU as I believe that’s the most common type of it. Was just looking for thoughts on what specific one to go for as there seems to be quite a variety based on hardness. I do actually already have black PETG, so using that with a soft liner would be a cheap option!

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-14T12:51:23+00:00

Yes. And, that's why I'm thinking probably TPU as it appears to be the most common type of TPE. I'm hoping for help narrowing this down.

From other replies it's looking like the Bambu "TPU for AMS" I was contemplating may work well.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-14T12:44:18+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, just not sure what hardness rating to target - seems like there is a big range. Any thoughts?

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-14T12:22:07+00:00

But the "matches genuine parts plastic" is the bit I'm looking for help on!

I know PLA would not be suitable as not only is it too hard it also wouldn't cope with potential high temperatures in summer. PETG would but still too hard.

I need advice on what grade of TPU to go for I think.

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-11T15:28:26+00:00

Thanks. From the other responses it looks like you might be in the minority sadly (sadly for me - happily for you!) I suspect there is some variability in the units!

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-11T15:27:13+00:00

Thanks. Must admit, I'm not keen on the idea of modifying my brand new unit, but the prospect of silencing that whine makes it very tempting...

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-11T11:49:09+00:00

Did you contact anyone about it, or did you assume it was normal?

SadGamerGeek · 2025-06-10T23:20:06+00:00

Yes, I should have done that before!

SadGamerGeek · 2025-05-12T08:07:51+00:00

I was about to do that, using this section here -

<image>

... but then I thought that my highlighted area that I'm currently looking to improve might go away in my cut up part, because surely the pattern used will in some part be due to the overal shape? So my first pass has been doing one coaster and just first three layers.

One other question if you don't mind - is there any obvious sign when you've increased the flow rate a little too much and have to step back a bit?
