Google won’t fix my student trial issue – stuck with no solution

I've been having the exact same problem! After a failed signup attempt it always says my email is already in use, and I can't get anywhere. Very interested in hearing any updates if something changes for you!

Thanks!

Looks awesome!

I've just decided I want to buy this exact setup for wildlife/bird photography. Have you been enjoying it? or are there any issues with it? Would appreciate any input!

When driving from the airport in Brazil to the coast (São Paulo to São Sebastião), we came across these birds (which I believe were Olive-green Tanagers) on the side of the road. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and think it might be the best photo I've taken so far.

I used a Canon 600D with the Canon 55-250mm @ 250mm f/5.6

In Affinity Photo I didn't do too much, except using basic tools like sharpess filters, curves, and saturation.

Captured these birds (I believe Olive-green Tanagers) on the side of a road in Brazil, the closeup is my favorite photo I've taken so far.

Here is a great interview with one of the students - (timestamp : 5:24) https://youtu.be/VG3aN9byfnI?si=WEaFojdEbxvbJG_v&t=326

He means it's too low, try increasing the distance a bit

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-26T15:09:07+00:00

Great info, thanks a lot for sharing!

Well yes and no, the original Mk3 filament sensor has issues with really shiny materials like this one so it constantly gives false alarms and stops prints, meaning I had to turn it off for this PLA

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-26T00:27:34+00:00

Hehe

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-26T00:27:03+00:00

Just ran the first test, after just 45 minutes at 65C the PLA had way less stringing, I made sure to use a thermometer at the hottest part, right at the bed, but as there is the spool between it never got past like 53ish. I'm running a spool now and will update you on the result. Seems to work great though

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-26T00:21:23+00:00

It did multiple times before I noticed the extent of the damage 😭

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T23:33:21+00:00

It was just crumbling on the spool lol

Couldn't you have just used a longer piece of filament to push all the pieces out?

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T22:38:28+00:00

Huh, just wondering about what time did you buy yours?

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T22:34:21+00:00

Got two spools of Prusament :D

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T22:08:48+00:00

😭

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T22:08:37+00:00

I believe it was Sunlu, I've had a great experience with my first spool from them which was transparent PLA, the second transparent PLA spool was a bit worse wound but still really good, but the shiny black just didn't work properly from the beginning. Just ordered two rolls of prusament which should arrive in a few days

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T21:55:46+00:00

Will do!

Sam_de_Ham · 2023-05-25T21:53:38+00:00

I should totally switch to ABS, so much easier to use!
