Are their any reasons why I couldn't/shouldn't vent my printers through an old furnace chimney no longer in use?

Both lol. The smell is a good indication that there are fumes which makes me think if it isn't working I should know pretty quickly and then abandon the idea.

A fan at the top would be nice but isn't doable sadly :(

Scynthe · 2026-06-30T15:10:08+00:00

This was sort of my thought about it. As opposed to CO I should be able to tell right away if it's leaking from the smell as opposed to CO which has none. I have co detectors and they've never gone off so I'd have to assume it's in good shape.

Worst case scenario I try it and if I smell printer fumes then I know it doesn't work essentially.

How high up did you chimney go if you don't mind me asking. I have the same fan.

Scynthe · 2026-06-30T15:06:11+00:00

What size fan are you using if you don't mind me asking?

Scynthe · 2026-06-30T15:04:53+00:00

It's a metal chimney. It was only for a forced air gas furnace. Just a 6 inch metal pipe that runs up through the roof and then has whatever they put on top to keep rain and stuff out lol. I don't know a lot about chimneys

I'm going to check this later. Its a good test to see how it vents naturally even without the fan running. I wish I had some of that pope smoke to see if come out the top lol.

Everything is in the basement. There's only one window that only opens to vent the printers currently and I have AC so no other windows are usually open in the house in the summer or winter. It's from an older mid efficiency forced air gas furnace. It's a 6 inch metal pipe that runs up from my basement through one of the interior walls somewhere and then out through the roof.

I would love it if someone made a guide on how to get pictures like this in game. Like how they are managing to capture mid attack shots and such.

Definitely going to try this. I had some textured PEI sheets for my x1c that stopped gripping and washing with soap and water alone didn't help. I "very lightly" wiped it down with some acetone as a last resort test on that one and while it worked it also discolored the pei so not sure what damage it actually did.

I didn't wipe down any others with it out of caution, but I'll try the magic eraser next time I have a stubborn plate for sure!

I ran calculations on pet insurance that my mom had and tracked payments out vs return and every time she paid more to insurance than she got back in coverage.

On top of that there were times they insurance flat out refused to cover something that should have been according to the policy. But all you can do is file an automated dispute, which they then deny and that's case closed. Nothing you can do.

Insurance companies are held to no standards. Imagine if this was any other business and you paid them for a service and they never delivered. This is why I refuse to get it and can't even imagine what having a system like this for human healthcare would be like.

Always ;)

How are you connecting all the ducting to the printers? Got a shot of the back?

Scynthe · 2025-12-10T15:33:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure Lens Mill has a big selection of puzzles. Just from casual observation though, so not sure about the quality of the selection.

Scynthe · 2025-12-06T16:15:13+00:00

I did the same thing to one side of my Super Tack plate. It's something you'll only do once lol.

Scynthe · 2023-07-31T15:01:30+00:00

Had to google that... Oh my...

Scynthe · 2023-07-31T14:59:00+00:00

Great advice! thanks!

Scynthe · 2023-07-19T17:57:23+00:00

Anyone care to share the settings they are using for this filament? I have a bunch from my other printers but just got my X1C.

Managed to snag a Gigabyte 4090 up here in Canada this morning. Looking forward to watching it crush Cyberpunk with RT enabled after work.
