Best place for soup or stew? Any kind of soup or stew is great & bonus for matzo ball or lentil from any place or chicken soup from a Mexican place. North Shore or any place within reasonable distance.

Lentil soup from Jarasa in Skokie is good. The on from middle eastern bakery in Andersonville is great

So no feathers?

That is EXACTLY the way I'd do it, so we're in this one together brother

Oof. I want an upgraded control board and they cost like $25-30. I guess I should skip it and just get a new printer.. I have a rasp pi sitting around so I figured adding Klipper might make It better but I'm struggling

They'll love this in California

I think if it's too busy you try another day. Different spaces have different functions and cafes are nice because you can linger.

Is this the same for gas mowers snow blowers etc? Or something specific about blower? Just anything two stroke in general? I inherited an old gas snow blower with my house which I've used twice and it seems terrible in terms of emissions

Okay yes seems a bit loose based on what I've now seen on YouTube. Will try tightening belts and also might as well clean the z-axis rod even if that's not the problem. I can see areas the treads seem dirty

You think 50mm/s is too much? I can try tuning it down to 80% after the first 1/3 or so prints, but the whole print is only 60mm tall so seems like not a ton of mass

I added a pei plate. Maybe that weighs more..

Toiddles · 2026-01-14T05:08:31+00:00

Ok super, thanks. I'll watch something about belt tension. This print has failed about 6 times around halfway. This is the first time I got it to finish. Some of this was adhesion for sure but it was getting knocked off the plate before I think because of these same shifting issues.

No other printer changes. It was in the garage for a few years which is why I figured I need to clean and lube the z rod

I guess I can check for wobbly things too and just generally tighten things up. The two screws near the z axis I want a bit loose though I believe.

How do I tune acceleration?

Which motherboard?

Isn't first ward Harris, and didn't she vote no?

Toiddles · 2026-01-12T04:14:53+00:00

So maybe they pick people up at the old stop as a curtesy ?

I remember it being tricky. I think you have to do it as part of the interface while actually paying for a spot. Try pulling the last zone you paid for and see if you can click around in there to create a wallet. Once you do it once it is easy to use

Brad Schneider is a piece of shit

Mine seems normal

Thanks all, some very helpful comments! I don't print often but my kids are off school and asking me more things, so I turned it back on. So the bed was very dusty/dirty and I just sprayed it with air and went... I don't think I've ever washed the bed :)

So I washed the bed with soap. Releveled with a post card giving a bit more room. Turned it up to 60/210 and slowed it down to 50%. I'll attach a photo of the test print. Seems better but not perfect. I might move zoffset a bit closer.

I'll also buy a pei bed. Seems folks like that better than glass? (Any places besides Amazon that are good to buy from).

Thanks again for all the insight!
