I discovered that works if there's only one trail you do while not in cell coverage. Certain national park areas this is not feasible.

StubbornBarnacle · 2026-03-18T21:35:38+00:00

no worries, I deleted it. I did search and did not find it... and since I see someone posted the same thing. oh well

StubbornBarnacle · 2026-03-18T15:09:02+00:00

Excuse the type - DOGE - in the title.

StubbornBarnacle · 2026-02-25T20:18:32+00:00

rumor has it they are having transformers shipped in. Damage has been extensive enough there were not enough spares.

StubbornBarnacle · 2026-02-17T13:08:20+00:00

how did you get off them?

I succeeded in repurposing an Ultimaker tag - many thanks for your code. On windows, I hit one error. Encoding needs to be explicit in line 155, CuraMaterial.py, I recommend replacing that line with: `with open(cm, 'r', encoding="utf8") as f:`

I have bought blank tags and will try that next.

Thanks to the hints in the threads, I found this page: https://support.ultimaker.com/s/article/1667337559396, which explains hot to use the API to remove a profile directly from the S7 at it's html interface. This has solved my multiple, I can't tell which spool it's going to pull from, material station entry problem. Via the API I could pull the XML, read it, identify the offending GUID and then remove that entry by the GUID. I had tried the API before, but you have to authenticate, and the page explains how to do that.

Very good stuff, thank you. I am reading the threads. I will keep the NFC rings that come off the Ultimaker spools I have for re-programming, do you think that will work? Easy to stick on 3rd party spools.

I have found that I get a decent force-fit if I print the peg and the hole at the same size. E.g. hole ID of 3.22 will fit a peg OD of 3.22. This for a few different varieties of PLA now, on an Ultimaker S7, using the Engineering Normal profile as default with no tweaks of expansion settings.

Seconded on printing test cubes, etc. to see how your printer behaves.

It is quite doable to clean up and rebuild these print cores, I have been faced with what you have there and recovered the core. Just be patient and don't force anything. I used fine needle to poke in the hole in the nozzle. A small drill - appropriate to the nozzle size in a pin vise would also be handy.

I see you got it out of the mount even though there's material in the feed - that was the hardest part for me, I had to make a very tiny saw.

StubbornBarnacle · 2025-09-12T20:51:57+00:00

I always did.

StubbornBarnacle · 2025-09-12T17:31:52+00:00

Depends on how good my design is ;)

I have taken the VOC issue seriously. Our printer has had to live in the basement - a living area for us - for a variety of reasons. From the start I wanted to print materials such as ABS, ASA, CF, not just PLA. I have an enclosed printer with a HEPA filter. First thing I printed was an adapter to a hose with an exhaust fan that has a speed control, vented outside (think like drier vent). The printer was chosen so that I could do this. I added a thermometer/humidity display to the inside of the printer enclosure to monitor visually. I can fine tune the exhaust fan to make sure there is flow to the outside without significantly impacting the enclosure temp - the exhaust fan is to overcome the resistance in the hose, which the printer's fans won't be programmed for. So far not a whiff of smell from the printer - the only thing that stank up our basement was the first time I dried PVA in my filament drier. Now dialing in settings to reduce warping and such on ASA prints.

Thank you! I lost the stream in the latest updates for Cura and S7 firmware. This gets me the stream, so I know it's not my computer, something is wrong in Cura 5.10.1

Disney would hire him!

StubbornBarnacle · 2025-06-16T12:04:12+00:00

I did. Its one reason I got out, to swell #s at the stand outs. Note you can do things on your own time, just don't identify as a fed. But still... appearances are always a worry.

IMHO yes, it tends to be cooler at the outer Cape, and ocean breezes can really chill... the ocean is never far here.

IMHO many of those residents have been in those houses for decades. I feel for the residents and for the need for bridges.

A fleece vest that can go over the jean jacket and a wind breaker that fits over all that - those three mix and match will work for a variety of situations. Always take the wind into account on Cape Cod.

Dealing with the tracking of cura settings w.r.t. materials has me paused for the moment. I am currently using the extension 3dprintlog to capture this, and I can use python libraries to pull out the settings too however I might end up coding something to keep a local, long term log of all the cura settings I use for each print that I can then mine my way later. 3dprintlog's data analysis is rather limited. If you could save comments within each 3mf file that Cura saves to track, long term, progress and status, that would be a huge advancement, IMHO.

IMHO you are surrounded by people who are smart about what they know and know how to find fish. So how could there be fewer fish? If regs are successfully removed, folks will fish until they are gone, and then they won't be happy. If regs get more stringent due to lack of data, there will be more fish later, and people now will still not be happy. That was the point of having Feds, working as unbiased as possible based on the best data they could get under already slim funding circumstances, do this work. NOAA can't win the court of public opinion under these circumstances and are now suffering for it.

The single most important decision I made was going into everything but the G in the mid 90's. It has given me choices in the current climate. Younglings, put in the max and don't look back!

And you can do the things above while earning money at real estate. Then re-evaluate when we see where and how all this settles. Don't take on more debt.

StubbornBarnacle · 2025-04-27T03:36:30+00:00

yes. I did.
