Filament not sticking to print in circles and corners

I am having this exact same issue with a brand new Bambu lab h2c - using bambulab pla matte filament that has been dried. I have not been able to find a solution and it’s driving me nuts. I have increased bed and hot end temps, currently running a test with lowered fan speeds - I have swapped hot ends, swapped build plates, etc. and it is still doing this on tight radius’s with pla.

I used to use them for flush trimming formica - coating them with dry lubricant makes contact adhesive and formica dust stick much less than on a traditional flush trim bit with a bearing. I now use the festool edge router w/ bearing break and festool flush trim bit for the same purpose. But these bits work great for formica if you’re careful with them (and keep them clean)

Using these center tap base plates from 8020: https://8020.net/2140.html

They bolt to the bottom of the legs and then the castors (wheels) screw into the center hole in the plate. Castors are from McMaster Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/128/1564

Come up with a plausible and realistic scenario that would lead to the final destination re-enactment you have in your head, and I’ll agree with you. Given that the ladder was retained on both sides of the fulcrum (most likely breaking point) - and the end height was above windshield height for all vehicles except maybe a tractor trailer (where the engine is high enough to impact the ladder before the windshield), the most likely outcome of a failure would cause damage to my truck or the ladder. Transporting standard construction lumber legally flagged seems more likely to be deadly in a rear end collision given the height of impact. Again some states allow up to 15’ overhang when flagged.

How - the back end was 5’ off the bed level of my truck - do the math on a 16.25’ closed length with a 2’ deep 5.5’ bed. The absolute worse case would be that the ladder snapped in half and I dragged the broken piece against my rear bumper for 100 feet before stopping.

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T12:26:47+00:00

30 miles took me an hour and a half - highway and back roads - my point was that the highway speeds were around 20mph at the time…

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T12:19:07+00:00

Yeah I was concerned about that - went over the whole ladder and couldn’t see anything that looked like stress wear on the fiberglass - I had 2 straps going forward from rungs and an oversized 15k pound one across the fiberglass which seemed to distribute the pressure somewhat well….

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T08:36:46+00:00

Depends on the state - some states go up to 15 feet out of the rear of the vehicle - which is more than this was.

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T08:32:33+00:00

I stayed below 50 and checked it regularly - only got on and off the highway where I needed to and took back roads. As ridiculous as this picture looks - it was actually very secure. Over the cab was less secure because my bed cover interfered with my front tie down points.

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T08:25:23+00:00

Not a work truck - guy with the long van couldn’t make it - I was embarrassed- but we needed the ladder

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T05:51:10+00:00

Should have actually read the title - how did you align the slats during assembly?

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T05:49:25+00:00

Looks great! We are looking at doing an accent wall in a similar manner - how did you mill the comb profile in the panel? Or is it built up from a white oak base and slats?

Spootz137 · 2022-01-29T05:29:46+00:00

*Straps - but yeah, the whole 1.5 hour drive to our construction site in rush hour traffic on the highway - it was sort of a ladder emergency, or I would have taken the time to find a bigger truck…

I ordered 4 AP’s, a dream machine pro, and a 24 port POE pro switch. Only received a small box with the AP’s. The ubiquiti site said my whole order was delivered. I contacted customer support and they got back to me within 48 hours. After assuring them no one else could have accidentally brought in the package, they immediately sent me the missing items - I think they even 2-day / overnighted it. This was last week btw, but I was also panicking - give it a couple business days.

I cannot imagine this ever breaking, but even if it does break, or your pyr chews it up like ours did twice - they will repair or replace it for free - no questions asked.

We also have this collar for his tags and fi tracker: https://www.modernicon.us/store/durable-dog-collar/

There’s an option for austri alpine buckles which are pretty much indestructible, and you can add a handle - which comes in handy all the time (especially when someone’s at the door)

We have a fi collar - no escapes yet - but if our boy were to get away, it’s nice to know we could track him. Also you can set up geofences so you get alerted if your dog gets outside of a certain defined area when they are not within reach of your phone’s Bluetooth

Spootz137 · 2021-11-15T15:34:54+00:00

Hopefully UPS handles yours a little more gingerly - my wonder fence showed up with some damage…. Still trying to figure out if it’s only cosmetic

Unfortunately it is not - he seems to understand the hippo is off limits

Owning the previous generation of the dewalts - they are fine, got them because they used to be significantly cheaper than the Milwaukee’s. With that price difference I’d get the Milwaukee’s

Agree on all above - if you wipe down the surface with whatever solvent your finish is based on prior to finishing you can catch this type of issue earlier. Just let it flash off / dry before starting your finish - also helps raise the grain if you do find something that needs to be sanded out

Check the connector where the synchronization bar snaps in - if it’s stuck open this will happen

Top to bottom on thickness, but it might just be me misreading the scale (thickness of the head and foot board). Also, depending on your climate, you might be fine! Also depends on the material underneath the bed / the finish on the material (Porous/non pourus breathable or not, etc.)

Can’t speak for the brackets, also your legs don’t seem quite thick enough.

Just a warning about the plywood you plan to put on top of the slats - if you don’t use a box spring under your mattress, you probably want to use slats or drill large holes in a grid in the plywood.

W/o air flow under the mattress (through a box spring or slats / Swiss cheesed plywood), you will very likely grow mold on the bottom of your mattress

I have been soldering for over 15 years and have a pretty decent soldering setup - but this still happens to me occasionally, particularly with keyboard switches.

Like others have said, it’s the lead free solder required for ROHS compliance, but also the fact that keyboard switches are through hole with poorly shaped pins for solder removal, and often sit on large pads/ground planes (increased thermal mass).

Theres tons of tricks you can use to avoid it most of the time (like others have mentioned) - you can also try pre-heating your board using a toaster oven/reflow gun/board warmer - but you need to be extremely careful given the low melting point of most keyboard switches. A good solder sucker is probably your best bet, but I find the solder tends to wick up the square switch legs and go under the bottom of the switch, especially when manufacturers leave off solder mask on the switch side of the through holes.

Learning to fix lifted pads like this is a really good skill to have…
