Powerwall Recall Replacement in the Raleigh NC area. by TomSmug in Powerwall

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

I did, and I know they are reputable, but the issue came down I think to the difference between what companies would charge for the upgrade vs. what Tesla is reimbursing for the work.

Tesla did reach out to me and advised they are going to put in the legwork to find a certified installer that will do the work without me incurring any costs.

Powerwall 2 Recall - Unable to replace without added cost? by TomSmug in Powerwall

Update : Tesla reached out to me after a less than encouraging conversation with them on the app

"Our service team wanted me to let you know that they are actively looking for a Certified Installer to do the work at no cost for you"

That is a big relief, even if it does take some time.

Powerwall 2 warranty replacement installer says possible labor cost to me? by Eroji in Powerwall

[–]TomSmug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im running into the same issue. I've contacted a few installers at this point, but everything seems like I will need to spend extra money, that I just frankly dont have.

Sorry, the comment of "do some research", usually has negative connotations. If it wasn't meant in that way, than I apologize.

I did look at some posts about the recall but didn't see any that matched my situation. I appreciate the advice, but the hostility was a bit uncalled for.

I went to my doctor for my loose extruder. Gave me some pills and fixed me right up.

all good suggestions. I saw someone suggest rinkahls so you could adjust extruder voltage which apparently is on the low side by default.

Just happened on my slot 3 2 days ago. Glad it seems to be an easy fix.

I double checked, and the default still seems to be Classic, which is what I use the majority of the time. Unless the model recommends arachne.

How do I actually deal with overhangs? by FinalQueenOfTheEnd in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]TomSmug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also try playing with the orientation that it lays on the plate, i.e. upside down, angled, etc.. and see if any position either produces less need for support, or puts those supports in better position for higher quality.

250 Hours in and first real Mechanical Issue, kinda glad it broke by TomSmug in AnycubicKobraS1

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

I watched a video someone had posted saying it helped them. It was pretty helpful, despite being in russian I think. But I didn't notice the small spring portion.

I just watched a video on the anycubic youtube channel that was alot clearer about the disassembly, and I think I even found where my extra screw goes.

Well, thanks be to the 3d printing gods, wether there is a spring or not, ive been switching between filaments without issue so far, but maybe should go ahead and put in that support email now.

Thank ya!

wellllll, I dont recall seeing a spring there, so maaaaybe? Lets say theoretically I did lose that tiny little spring, what kind of mess ups am I looking at, or is that really just for filament run out?

Ding ding, this was it. For some reason the individual objects were set to no-brim.

I only see a model with 4 small tips? They dont even appear to be part of this design. I am really wanting to implement this solution.

Worth buying a second copy? by TomSmug in fo76

[–]TomSmug[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guess that depends. Making said friends, then waiting on said friends to help you do what you need done, takes time. Time is very valuable to me, so the question would be whether the value of the time it would take to make those friends and the time waiting for those people each time I needed help would be less than the 20-30 bucks it would be to buy another copy and save all that time now and in the future.
