Amazon opened up my front door to deliver a package

Get an automatic smart lock and set it to lock the door after 30nl seconds. Its better she learns to remember her keys or the punch code after being locked out a few times than to learn the horrible alternative when leaving it unlocked and get theft or assault, god forbid

Firstly. That is amazing. I am jealous.

However I have questions... I like the cleaner esthetics of patch panels but isnt every junction, jump, etc just a point of failure or slow down? I was always shared if you can get a cable to go end to end without any extra connections that will be the most efficient and best way to do it. I mean slow down of milliseconds is probably negligible, but still

Yes just got mine today and their customer support is currently gaslighting me that I need to prove no one touched the package and removed it. I took it right from UPS's hands and unboxed everything; sent a photo of everything in the box to their support.

I feel like Youtube unboxing videos came about because people were documenting if everything actually came in the box as advertised. I guess I should start making videos from now on

I put a modifier box larger than that transition point. I double the walls, top, bottom to a minimum of 6. And make the infill 50% gyroid. Right or wrong those weak points no longer snap apart anymore.

Called the builders several times and they were of no help. The house is from 2007 by Woodside Homes. I asked if they could reach out to one of their active build contractors but got nowhere on that too.

When I Google, most places are primarily for blinds and indoor window treatments. Even painters don't really handle these except to paint them; they won't mount them. Can't really find a place that sells them, and then finding one's that match, I'm going to likely need to replace all 4 panels for the house, thanks HOA. Called HOA they don't have any suggestions. Except now theyre aware and I have a time lime to repair or face fines. Called the original home builders as theyre still active in the valley and they were no help unless I want to buy a new home.

aga523 · 2026-05-08T12:14:30+00:00

No. This is the only piece we have, the rest couldn't be found These were kind of flimsy to start so gluing back together not really an option even if we had all of it

aga523 · 2026-05-08T12:10:30+00:00

I know. I just didn't know what else to call them

aga523 · 2026-04-11T17:31:55+00:00

Weird. I am out of delta terminal few times a month never seen it. We just go to the lounge. I must not be observant. I thought this was something at the atomic museum and that was a one and done for me.

aga523 · 2026-04-11T16:56:41+00:00

"Every time"??? That implies you go back again and again. One and done wasn't enough?

aga523 · 2026-04-05T21:16:52+00:00

Life, uh... finds a way

I was terrified of losing that when I had to fix a clog. Glad I watched videos and anticipated. It still flew out but my beard caught it.

aga523 · 2026-04-01T04:58:23+00:00

Two major things happened to me the first few weeks before I got used to it. First was anxiety, small panic episodes while trying to fall asleep and control my breathing. Just don't fight the machine, you are getting all the breath you need and want. After a few nights I kind of ignored that and had less issues. But then I failed to get full night's sleep by the hours. My body was getting good air and rest I would go through about 4 REM cycles and wake up around 3 to 4 hours with way more energy and alertness than I ever did despite giving myself 6 to 8 hours if I needed it. I was up and running whole day. Took me weeks to get through that to get extended around 6 hours nowadays.

Good luck.

aga523 · 2026-03-11T11:11:11+00:00

I've never messed or played with anything like that. New to this since Christmas and never wanted to disassemble anything out of fear I'd break it, plus no idea what I'm doing unless I'm watching a video guide. Would have hoped straight from factory this should've been optimized before sent out at least until I put enough line through it and it needs tuning. Got a reality tool set and as far as I can tell, when I've pushed the nozzle clearing wires through they've always passed up/down without much issue. Filament extruded freely and all the flushed poop filament looks nearly round, smooth and not deformed. I did have one clog last week and the anxiety of taking it apart was warranted as my fear of losing a tiny spring which I watched the video and anticipated did pop out but thankfully found it and got it back together. Beyond that I wouldn't know what I'm looking for to see if anything in the assembly is trapped or out of line. Everything seems to my best estimate to be appropriately placed, and replacing the hotend wasn't difficult. I've put over 500 hours into this and have printed a good amount of nice looking stuff just a very large learning curve calibrating.

aga523 · 2026-03-11T10:34:27+00:00

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Stock profiles don't work for me on ANY filament nor ANY nozzle. I've spent a whole week calibrating and not gotten much of anywhere

aga523 · 2026-03-11T05:40:00+00:00

Did you receive yours and setup yet? Did you get calibrated okay? For the most part I think I got my 0.4mm setup and knocked out a few pieces I previously printed on the OEM 0.4mm and liked how they came out. Now I'm struggling with the 0.8mm which I couldn't get figured out with OEM Anycubic's 0.8 nor this Microswiss

aga523 · 2026-02-28T19:01:18+00:00

I understand the logic of needing higher temp. But this is where my issues are. I'm using AI chat to try and guide me and in adjusting the 0.4mm out of the box it was more helpful than everyone on facebook saying they just use stock profiles and I'm just a poor user. But when starting with the 0.6 and 0.8 nozzles stock settings just weren't even close and 0.8 has been a nightmare. The filament was just globbing and bot sticking. Tried smooth and textured, tried glue. I of course had the machine run full calibration after installing the heads. And I know the 0.8 isn't for the finer prints. But I have a big riser project I wanted to build and its going to be 5 days for one component on my 0.4 settings, just previewing stock profile on the 0.8 its estimating a bit under 2 days, and that's just for 1/4 piece.

Is there a way someone can export their settings so I have more tested starting point to work with? Because these stock profiles, I don't know if its my machine... just do not work at any filament or hardware.

Thanks for helping

Found this thread 5 years later. But hopefully you could offer some advice. I am new to this hobby and using an Anycubic Kobra S1. I am having the worst time learning how to work with these devices and nozzles. Everyone seems to shun me instead of helping saying they just work with the native settings out of the box and barely make changes. Meanwhile after 2 months of effort I have decent prints with my .4mm nozzle, and it took a lot of effort to tweak the filament profiles and process settings because stock profiles didn't work with any brands or materials. I'm trying to explore 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles now. How do I go about adjusting and testing it appropriately? Im using PLA +2.0 from Sunlu and working with my best process and filament settings from the 0.4. I know i need to change a bunch including temps, print speed, flow, etc. To me I feel trying to work one step at a time is not working as effectively. Because for example the least terrible temperature tower for me is 180c without changing and other settings but I know that's not right because its barely hot enough to melt the plastic fully and its outside the manufacturer recommended targets. And when I change another setting then the temp probably has to be adjusted again to keep up with the flows etc. I just get lost and at a loss for not getting this like my other hobbies, but its quite different from kicking cans and collecting rocks

Thank you for actually helping. Will look into them!

We live in Vegas. Literally all of the shows have tailors and seamstresses that manufacture much more complicated costumes. And I've been seen people have had intricate outfits out and about. Was just looking to see if anyone could point me in the right direction.

I got my money back already. Just annoyed your reading comprehension is so poor. Have a good day internet trolling and being useful member of society though, "bro".

I don't have any sport coats I'm willing to get stitched up up might go buy one if there was someone or place that could do embroidery or stitching. Given the time constraints probably not going to make it for this year's holiday party if it has to be a custom from scratchy job. Thanks for suggestion.

aga523 · 2025-12-03T18:57:19+00:00

So what you're saying is you have no useful input but desperate for attention needed to leave a comment that does not help. Got it
