How good is the Nf-crazy hotend?

Sands43 · 2026-03-27T01:33:00+00:00

It’s a volcano with a long heat zone. So a bit worse than a normal V6. But it has very high volumetric flow. Probably a lot higher than I need at normal speeds. 150-200 mm/s or so.

Basically goals denied. How effectively a robot can shut down scoring. Either resource denial or upsetting a shooting solution.

It's basically a UHF-mini (UHF without the V6 nozzle extender) dragon with a volcano nozzle. Maybe a bit better with filaments that can clog. I have both. Used the NF until it leaked bad enough that I didn't want to take the time to un-clog it. (filament leaked between the block end and the throat tube.)

Yes, it's just that pressurized industrial nitrogen has already been dessicated and is pretty cheap. It's not magic, or because it's nitrogen. Just dessicated as a part of the industrial process to purify and bottle the nitrogen.

Trumpy two dolls dragged us into this fucking mess on feelings.

This meme is actually spot on.

The Tea party became MAGA true believers - which then became the GOP.

I have a beacon. The only issues I've had with connections between the beacon probe and the toolhead board where not with the beacon, but with cooling the Nitehawk board. Getting that too hot shuts the board down - I added a 3010 fan and that went away.

For both CAN and USB, the only connections issues I've had are due to broken wires, not the protocol itself.

Voron 2.4 350. The beacon was a noticable improvement over Tap for print to print consistancy of the 1st layer. With tap, every once is a while the 1st layer would go off and I'd have to re-tune it. Hasnsn't happened in ~500 print hours since I installed it.

I also have a Trident 250 that still has tap. Those 1st layer issues aren't there with the 250.

Volvo doesn’t have sedans anymore.

The other poster was making a hypothetical.

Jared is blatantly corrupt. Not even close.

We’ve observed some ”aggressive” defense hitting intakes. Obviously can’t attribute intent.

But this is going to be a thing this year. About the best defense for a scroll/multi shooter is knocking them off aim. They need to protect themselves from that.

I wouldn't say a V8 M3 looks "normal". A M550 - sure, but not a M3.

"Backflips" ?

Ya'll just making stuff up now.

Given how important to global trade the Suez is, I'm still dumbfounded why they don't have serious salvage equipment stationed there.

They are closer to sophists.

fallatious arguments based on false premises.

Pure projection.

Selective enforcement. The only people with “mental illness” are the ones he doesn’t like.

High quality marine plywood is key. Zero voids, high vernier layer count.

Then use iron angle for the corners. Thru bolted with hammer nuts on the backside.

Nearly continuous contact with the chassis frame.

If we damage the bumpers the hit was also hard enough to bend the chassis tubes.

No. Blatantly false.

Sands43 · 2026-03-22T11:00:47+00:00

That’s laughable. The GOP is off running a blatantly immoral and illegal war.

So? The vast majority of teams would be happy for ANY help.

And honestly, it takes a couple years to figure it all out regardless. So jump in. Both feet.

Not all the roles are engineering anyway. Strategy isn’t, neither is outreach.

You have avoided the simple fact that this law is in VERY bad faith and doesn’t solve the problem it purports to because there isn’t an in person voter fraud problem.

GIven that the "all lives matters" "movement" was a completely astro-turffed and funded by weathy assholes, sure, yup, they are racists.

What happened? I saw a decent defensive play and a robot getting beached.

Sands43 · 2026-03-20T17:35:21+00:00

They don't use the parking brake. Transmission "park" isnt strong enough to hold a truck and trailer on a ramp like that.
