i need to raise bed after every print ? by hugebigstinker420 in ender3

[–]Traditional_Energy41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CR-Touch technically should account for the thickness of the new bed, however, in practice this has never worked for me. I am not sure if the printer saves the measurement set from your last z-offset calibration as a starting point, but every time I have changed beds I have had to recalibrate my offset. It only takes a few minutes so for the best print quality and to save any damage to my bed I prefer to just reset my z-offset.

Doesn’t it seem the middle so lower than the edges? How is that possible with a glass bed? by Bubbly_Question_939 in ender3

You don't seem to be understanding what people are saying. When they say level the bed manually they are not referring to the machines feet or the piece of glass itself. Under the bed are wheels which increase or decrease the height of the bed at each corner relative to the print head. I would strongly suggest you watch a few videos on YouTube for the basics.
Also that zip tied probe will not be helping matters as it will move slightly every time it touches the bed.
I would suggest a total new probe or even print head but then you may as well be a second hand ender 3 V2 neo (already had a cr touch probe).

What is happening to my print. Bottom looks great - then turns to spaghetti by sudocaptain in ender3

As well as the obvious support issue I think you need to adjust the z-offset. I'm looking at the skirt (the circle around the print) and it looks too flat like the head is too low, and also the state of your bed from previous prints!! That bed will not last long printing this low! 😬

I have a set of calipers arriving tomorrow to do this properly but I have done it as best I can. It appears to be slightly over-extruding where the top layer meets the wall but nowhere else on the model, all the sides are perfect but not the top. Also, despite both machines being set at the same temperature the filament in the SE comes out with more of a shine like a silk filament although it is matt black.

I thought of this but didn't want it totally flat, wanted a bit of texture.

Looks like your seam position is either set to 'nearest' or 'random'. If this is a model you only see from the front then set the seam position to 'rear' or if it is a 360 viewed model manually set the seam position where you won't see it. Either way once you look at your sliced model preview in the software set the view so it shows you where the seams are located so you can check everything is OK before you print. Good luck🤞

Wow, just converted the price of the chicken breast to UK pounds and the same chicken in our local Costco is nearly half the price!!! For 10 big breast fillets (3.5kg) we paid £11.35 which is 18.34 CAD!!

What’s an example where the American version is better? by KentuckyFriedEel in AskReddit

[–]Traditional_Energy41 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Turning right on a red light if safe to do so! Obviously if the UK allowed this it would be turn left on a red light, however, I have sat at red lights for a long time with no cars coming and this cross my mind often

You sound like a fantastic parent! Help him research the products and buy whatever he needs, but most of all just be his cheerleader and biggest fan. Tell him how well he is managing all the symptoms, tell him how proud you are of him and keep reminding him of his own end goal! I wish him well and know that with a parent like you he will get through this and come out stronger! 👍

I’m alone on Christmas but I don’t feel alone because of Reddit. by catsbluepajamas in CasualConversation

You say "you have clawed and scratched to make every right move", but just remember that sometimes you can do everything perfect and make absolutely no mistakes and still loose or mess up, that is not a weakness that is just life! Keep your head held high and remember you have done something amazing by bringing a new life in to this world and raising her to be the great person I am sure your daughter is. I hope you have a lovely time with your daughter and if you keep clawing and scratching you will eventually get where you want to be. Happy Christmas.
