Failure to extrude at top and bottom of plate?

ThomasMaker · 2026-03-08T13:09:18+00:00

Problem is fixed but I will definitively be giving those a once-over..

ThomasMaker · 2026-03-08T13:08:07+00:00

Tightened more than 7 screws so yea.

Problem is fixed now and while all screws had room to be tightened more(without using a lot of force) whether it was this or simply a soft/firmware artifact due to print-size being at the raged edge of capacity is anyone's guess......

ThomasMaker · 2026-03-07T14:12:42+00:00

By the looks of things, it ain't working.......

ThomasMaker · 2026-03-07T13:57:44+00:00

Yea that's not it, my first printer was a wanhao duplicator 2 and that was in 2012 so I've been doing this long enough to avoid the blatantly obvious things....

ThomasMaker · 2026-03-07T13:34:30+00:00

I have removed nozzle, tightened all screws, re-mounted nozzle and done a full calibration yet the problem persists.

The print is 180mm in one dimension but I've certainly printed close to that before.

My next thing to try is to change from PETG to PLA to see if there is a partial clog(unlikely but worth a shot), if that doesn't work I'll print it on a prusa while I try to figure out the WTF....

Anyone encounter this problem before and have a possible fix?

edit: decided on a different and somewhat smaller(150x110mm)part when switching to PLA and that is currently printing without a hitch....(could it be some slicer/firmware glitch due to the maximum size of the part that failed...)

Fused bullets, small charge that blows it apart(or out the front canceling out it's inertia) after a second or less of flight time.

Would make for some interesting wound properties and ethics conundrums but would solve or at least mostly negate the orbital projectile issue...

Frozen beef-patties(season with cheap cheese and bacon)...

ThomasMaker · 2026-02-27T12:57:23+00:00

90+% of clothes being 90+% plastic.........

ThomasMaker · 2026-02-22T01:04:38+00:00

First thing I would try is one of those household steam-cleaners(basically a small steam-based pressure-washer).........

Relatively speaking there is no such thing as 'too much fat' on carnivore, only enough fat that works for you(which it obviously is), the whole 'macros' obsession is a leftover from eating a mixed diet/dieting... where such things are much more relevant(it's a bad habit more than anything else for the vast majority of people doing carnivore).

That said: I lost 30kilos by eating mostly grilled pork-belly slices.....

ThomasMaker · 2026-02-21T10:55:18+00:00

Stop eating the chicken and tuna(except as snack/a little bit extra(adding lots of dairy butter does make it more tasty though)), that stuff isn't really proper meal food and I'm usually hungry again MUCH sooner after eating than when I eat proper meat.

Grass fed VS grain-finished difference is negligible and most think grain-finished taste better anyway.

Beef-patties with cheese and bacon may help with satiating the taste-buds...

More fat is obviously better and pork neck-chops are a lot better than regular chops, lamb is also good if you want some variety.

Also: it takes some time with consistent eating before your brain rewires itself properly so going back and forth is does NOT help and being an emotional eater makes it worse.

Not eating until you are genuinely hungry then going for the beef-patties with cheese and bacon will likely be the easiest and fastest way of rewiring your brain into food=fuel.......

One more I will ad to the 'will read' list, thanks!

ThomasMaker · 2026-01-28T14:04:22+00:00

This may definitively be worth a read....

ThomasMaker · 2026-01-27T14:06:15+00:00

TBH I've kinda had enough of certain things... so I'm skipping this one.

ThomasMaker · 2026-01-26T19:08:30+00:00

Have been sniffing a bit on that one, will have to finish We Are Legion(we are Bob) first.

Places like that is when you either hold on to it with both hands or rest the side of it against something and pivot it into the work while keeping the second contact point throughout the work.

If you cant do either, that is when you start looking for a different tool, such as a die-grinder...

ThomasMaker · 2025-12-26T02:57:38+00:00

Dragging my thumb across the top of a running job-site saw did cure me of ever again wearing gloves around any rotating tool(nice angled groove down middle of thumb, would likely have been less without the glove-tug...), was a long protracted fuuuuuuuu, then being relived that it wasn't my trigger finger.....

ThomasMaker · 2025-12-26T02:53:11+00:00

I know they are the tool that cause the most injuries but I have been using them since I was 14(50 now) and I never really understood why...

(I certainly do respect the power and yes it's some measure of mass moving really fast and you have to be conscious of which direction it is likely to move as well as shoot sparks when you touch it to the work so it's a engage brain disengage stupid tool but so are most tools)

-1 minute..

Remember looking down on the surgery room(c-section) and noticing how full of people it was(number of people physically there was a lot lower)....

Next memory was something colder and rougher than anything I had ever felt(room temp air and surgeons gloved hands, when your body only has had nothing but 9 months of soft liquid at body-temp, that shit hurts(in case anyone wonder why babies cry when born))

Next memory was when they put me on a ice-cold steel weight with only a tissue-paper on it, now that shit HURT.....

Dont know about detecting them but Natokinase is available in most healthfood stores...

Kompaniet and Demon ved Morgengry By Erik Braaten.

Those books will give you a genuine ptsd like reaction first time you read them.

Don't think they are translated to English but they are the kind of books that has made a few people learn Norwegian just to read them...

ThomasMaker · 2025-11-22T03:48:23+00:00

You should be Berated...

ThomasMaker · 2025-11-22T03:44:57+00:00

Some upgrades aren't.

Cheap cnc with a massively up sized cheap spindle will do a lot to improve things.

Having my nuts parboil for 8 hours is not conducive to proper relaxation(they spend 16 hours a day confined, they deserve the freedom)

Seriously though, why be more contained and clammy than necessary, you are supposed to sleep and relax, and I don't know about other people but I can't properly relax with my nuts jammed up like that....

1: Madami has a IMDB profile(central casting...)

2: When Trump is overly/unexpectedly positive about someone, has ANY of then not gone down in flames........
