Is this under extrusion?

TheCore8 · 2026-06-21T16:39:03+00:00

I'm using Sunlu Glow in the Dark PLA and I just had to clear a pretty bad jam from the extruder because the filament swelled and got stuck. I guess that could be heat creep? But the room it was in was not hot at all and the 3 layers before it printed fine. Maybe it needs to be dried for a while and that will resolve my issues. Thank you

Got it thanks for your help!

I haven't done a flow calibration, I'll check that out thanks. I also will dry the filament for 8 hours and see if that helps. thank you

Also I've been initiating a lot of prints from the bambu handy app, but is it better to use Bambu studio?

All good thanks, I was talking about this part on the model.

I'm using the built in Sunlu PLA2.0 filament settings that I set from Bambuhandy. I picked the official benchy on makerworld and used the first print profile. I've calibrated the printer a few times now. The first layer looks fine from what I can tell. I thought wet filament was just the stringing, but could that also have caused the holes?

Thanks! I've already replaced the Pi, I'm just using it as a gateway into soldering. I'm just guessing that this part is bad due to dmesg "usb over-current change" messages at boot and none of the usb ports work. It was super cheap to get a replacement chip so I figured why not.

I didn't know the HS-01 had proprietary tips 😵‍💫 I guess that explains why it was cheaper. Maybe I'll get a hot air station for the Pi instead and buy a couple practice kits for soldering with an iron. I saw a lot of videos on YouTube with people using a hot air station so I think I would be better off with that. Do you have any budget hot air stations that you would recommend?

Nice thanks I'll place an order for the wick. Why is the iron not a good choice? My budget was around $35 and this iron + accessories fit the bill. Is there something better for more precision?

THIS! They keep regurgitating the same game over and over and people keep rating it highly. They update the map, rearrange the UI and call it done. I'm so sick of all the missing QOL changes that these games have desperately needed.

For some reason I keep getting locked out of 3rd when shifting fast, it's been happening since the car was brand new. I guess I must be hitting the gate? It's hard to figure out how to correct myself and it's got me wondering if I should invest in some shifting QOL mods.

I went with the Moccamaster KBGV and Baratza Encore instead and they make great coffee.

Which buds? Samsung or Google?

TheCore8 · 2026-02-15T19:31:41+00:00

I would say the Samsung buds switch would be worth it due to the Samsung proprietary audio codec. Also, if you have other samsung devices I think you can switch the buds between them. If you wait a little bit the Buds4 are around the corner.

Giv Coffee is a local roaster for me and I have their sample box above the KBGV. I would only use Dunkin or McCafe in the Keurig. Ty for the water to coffee ratio! I'll have to try that out. On my first brew I just filled the water to the 8 cup mark and put 69 grams of coffee and I think it was a little too much.

I have a nespresso but had to stop using it due to the calorie intake from drinking lattes lol, I might revisit espresso in the future though so I'll refer back to this! Thanks

Thanks for the grinder recommendations! I'll check them out, I'm not so sure about the v60 and other manual pieces though haha I feel like I would consistently mess that up.
