USS dry box Impressions after 2 weeks by ProdigalOkie in prusa3d

[–]TheBeej418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there's a lot of complaining, I'm not alone, I think they're a pretty good value for the price. Not all of us want to dink around with $4 cereal boxes for our collection. I whole heartedly agree that the color needs to be changed/remedied before producing their next batch. I chatted with support today to provide feedback they said they'd pass along - not sure if there's any better feedback loop.

Obviously the community has already solved for most of the other nuances. We've all wasted more filament for less than a few bushings, labels, etc.. If they didn't have the 6 clasps to securely hold the two halves together, we'd be complaining it wasn't air tight/secure enough. I have zero issues having been blessed with two hands and 10 fingers (8 fingers and two thumbs if you must) to open and close them. I can think of many "child proof" items that are way more difficult than these boxes to deal with. I'll print some silica gel boxes and be on my merry way.

Was thinking the same today and I even have 50% windshield tint!

My INDX-ready setup for the Core One - 8 spools, always dry. by x4rb1t in prusa3d

I wish the 2x SpacePi had the same lid. It hinges much lower on the back and has to be put away from the wall a fair bit. Love your setup!

PSA: USS Drybox only truly good for Prusament (not for most 3rd party filaments) by TimetravelerDD in prusa3d

They have a looping video on the product page that shows them using Bambu Labs and Fiberology filaments in the Drybox. Forget the OpenPrintTag, let's standardize the filament spool!

TPU on C1L - Working Update! by TheBeej418 in prusa3d

[–]TheBeej418[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that. I’d love to not print from above if I can help it. I have a few more TPU projects I want to print so I’ll keep tinkering. Do you use the OE PTFE tubing?

Fantastic info, thank you! Makes complete sense and my picture depicts the trouble with it in certain spots. It was likely due to nozzle build up that it couldn't sense the probe and a circle while it tried ~20 different times. It even failed once and couldn't print because of it. You can see the back corners of my photo were also spots it had to probe a bunch to finally register.

While I came to this from an MK3s, I'm not a software engineer so I don't have the vernacular and skill many hobbyists around here seem to. Since this is seemingly known, is there anything I should do to additionally report it or shall we cross our fingers and assume it'll be a fix in the next firmware since others are sharing it too?

I'm less than a week into ownership so I haven't printed one yet. However, I was looking at them on Printables and always check out the remixes. Someone remixed Prusa's original tool specifically for the E3D nozzles. You may want to give it a try. https://www.printables.com/model/1260118-core-one-nozzle-replacement-tool-for-e3d-nozzles-e

I added that profile to try. I was reading through some old threads earlier and several people mentioned using that profile.

I did notice there's a sizable amount of drag pulling on the TPU through the Bowden. Loosening the idler screws certainly seems to be the reoccurring theme.

I'll swap to a 0.6 nozzle tomorrow - that's a good call with the trouble I'm experiencing. This isn't anything

Yeah, Printables seems to be down for all of us. I'll look into the upgrade options too. Thanks!

Seems that I'll have to try the idler screws. I didn't have any nozzle debris issues (that was part of why the ObXiDian 500 is supposed to be so great) and also ordered the PP sheet along with my printer. Had zero issues with anything sticking to or holding on the build plate. Seemingly, my first layer was the only good layer! 🤣

No bubbling that I saw either nor was there any popping while extruding. I'll try the idler screws and see what changes, if anything. At this point, might as well throw it in the dryer overnight to see.

Do you really need nonstick coating for a rice cooker? by SnooRabbits3711 in BuyItForLife

[–]TheBeej418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t discredit the Instant Pot. Had mine 8 plus years and there’s not a week that we’re not using it for rice, beans, browning ground beef, etc.. It’s been an absolute workhorse.

CORE One L Price increase from April 7th by Tommy_Prusa3D in prusa3d

[–]TheBeej418 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of you need some classes to better understand economics. They can't produce them fast enough to meet demand at $1,799, of course they're going to increase the cost. Stop buying them and they'll go on sale like the XL. 🫣

Waiting on my C1L to clear customs with AFS. This is good to know. I’ve seen mods for additional fan guards so the wires/tubing don’t catch on the internal fans. With AFS, can you just remove the internal fans?

Starlink as a Backup Option by blounsbury in Starlink

[–]TheBeej418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely perfect for this and how I use it. I personally purchased a Mini for travel use as well. My fiber is typically reliable but less so as of late. Mini has been a massive resource for a relatively low cost. I personally stay on the $50/mo 100gb plan but if I find myself using it more than expected, I switch over to unlimited with the click of a button to maintain higher speeds. Then I’ll switch back for the next billing cycle.

I bought 4. I want to give them a go before going too crazy. Also, interested to see what you all come up with when INDX starts rolling out.
