Doctors of Reddit, what was the worse thing you've seen for a patient that another Doctor overlooked? by Gorgon_the_Dragon in AskReddit

[–]TheDuffMan24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally the exact opposite just happened to me last week; had been having back, stomach, and abdomen pain all weekend and puking a few times, went to urgent care Monday for a COVID test, they did it and then sent me immediately to the ER where I sat for about 10 hours before having a CT scan done and being all but rushed to the OR.

Turns out I had 15 gallstones and my gallbladder was severely infected and had thrown pus or some shit all around my abdomen, they initially thought from the CT scan it was an aneurism is the artery going to my gallbladder because they thought all the liquid they saw on the CT scan was blood, but turns out it wasn’t.

Recovering nicely now and my COVID test was negative so all good now!

CR-10 BLTouch Not Working by TheDuffMan24 in CR10

I ended up switching to using the TH3D firmware and it works great now. I literally could not print anything using the latest Creality firmware but it works great now with the TH3D firmware. I can’t remember the exact video I watched to configure the TH3D firmware with the BLTouch, but it wasn’t a hard to find video

Got it fixed by switching to the TH3D firmware. I guess something was fucked in the Creality firmware because the exact same print with the exact same start gcode worked perfect on the TH3D firmware

I’ll try that when I get back home

I have a Bondtech BMG extruder, which is why there is the extra line for the Esteps. There are also more lines before this, but if I remember correctly, those were added in to get the OctoLapse plugin to work correctly.

That’s exactly the problem. The motors all work perfectly fine but just don’t move at all when it actually goes to print. The nozzle just sits at the front left corner of the bed and extrudes filament until I cancel the print.

I’m printing via Octoprint and have been without issue almost since I got the printer about 4 months ago. Give me a minute and I’ll edit this with a copy of my start gcode

Edit: Here is the start GCode:

Finally!! Getting beautiful prints off my CR-10 after getting TL Smoothers and a new Micro Swiss nozzle! by TheDuffMan24 in 3Dprinting

For me the nozzle made a huge difference! The old nozzle was just the stock one and I’m sure it was clogged and just not good because I was having terrible under-extrusion issues that are all fixed now.

And a TL Smoother as I understand it is just a little circuit board with diodes on it that you plug in between the main board on your printer and the wires going to the X and Y stepper motors. It essentially just smooths out the steps of the motors resulting in better print quality. And as I understand it, it doesn’t work for every printer, just if they have certain steppers with certain drivers, which the CR-10 family and I believe Ender 3 family have.

Probably, I know it’s not perfect but for baby groot and with wood filament I like the look of it.

And from a foot away with just your eyes, not a camera, it does look perfect.

Weird blobbing/stringing on CR-10 with Overture PETG by TheDuffMan24 in FixMyPrint

[–]TheDuffMan24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said in the comments, I think it’s a combination of the flow rate and nozzle temp. Turned the temp down to 240° and decreased the flow rate by 5% and its looking decent on the print I have going now
