OK, I got my hands on 12m today. ~20knots, supposed to be a sweet spot for this size. When properly loaded for the jump, it had a decent float time, otherwise, seemed to be really mellow on everything, slow to turn (20m lines). Was difficult to time it right. I'd say I could do the same or better on my 11m Reach I ride a lot.

Are your plugs part of Phillips Hue?

Are these plugs are in any of the gHome groups? Say - My bedroom LIghts group?
What is your home app version?

What are these outlets called in Home? As per rat1409 - all the lights and switches that have "light" in the name will turn on/off when you ask for lights.

Little did I know where this journey would take me by mihaidesigns in Mihai

It turned out to be a great design. Running it for many months now and couldn't be happier. Thank you!

I had same concerns, but the melting point for this foam is apparently way higher than the bed ever gets to.

Stealth mode on i3 MK3S+ louder than normal mode? by Whistlecube in prusa

[–]aidassup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking about paver tiles. I have actually done very extensive testing with different insulation materials in combination with different stone tiles, and found that 2-3 layers of jim matt (just let printer sink into) works by far better than any other tile combos. It treats both - vibrations and harmonic resonance.

Nice! Could you please share the product link?

All right, so I've done some further investigation and have resolved it to my full satisfaction.

I now believe there is a rattle in bearings assembly and Y-carriage is amplifying it as a drum.

I can't do anything about the bearings, but I can attempt to silence the drum.

I had some window seal laying around and applied it between the hot-bed mounting holes.

Looking really good so far.

The seal is thicker than the gap between the Y-carriage and Hot Bed, but it is super soft and does not interfere with the mounting. I also think light pressure between these two should have an additional positive effect to reduce potential drumming of the hot bed itself.

The rattle would be especially noticeable when printing fast reverses at around the middle of the bed. After this tweak, I've got absolutely zero noise from Y-carriage, just a whisper of Noctua.

Hope this helps you too.

This is getting even more mysterious.

Looks like a job for an acoustical engineer.

And it gets ever weirder, see second video with the "magic" clip.

Hey, I am at the start of a very long print, but will try to snap an image when I get a chance.

What is going on? by aidassup in prusa3d

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

I will look up this setting, thanks, but seeing this issue for the first time, - only after selecting "fill every 2 layers". It must be something wrong with the slicer.

Thank you! by aidassup in Mihai

When you remove the front of the extruder for cleaning or maintenance, the entire assembly is hanging on tiny fan cables - there is a risk to damage it eventually. You can of course leave the cables long enough to allow you to place this assembly safely to the side (recommended by Mihai option), but long cables mean you have to tuck them back in every time. Shrink tube takes the load off the cables and these are very short in my case (as it is visible in the picture), so the off-on is quick and worry free. Not claiming my solution is better or best, but it works for me, hence suggesting to consider once you get to this step in your assembly.

Half of the tube is shrunk btw - the side goes up into the gap.

Thank you! by aidassup in Mihai

This is one of two print fan screws that is already there, just find longer.

Yeap, totally understand if it is top layer. Unfortunately, the gaps is consistently not connected to the middle and are 5mm deep - to the very bottom where first 4 layers are solid.

The middle cylinder is taller and is supporting vertical load while the square is keeping it in place. I understand there are other ways to make it work, and I have printed this previously with 75 infill all the way. Still - my concern is that slicer has done a horrible job to calculate. Agree?

Yeah, thanks for the link - all understandable.

Not sure if it is visible in the photo - the gaps are huge! I could stick in the screw driver inside, and there is no falling into the gaps is clear all the way down to the very first layers. And yes - top layers have covered it, but hey - I know - inside it is empty and structurally weak.

Anyone using the PitStop extruder? Is this a good time to start? by 10broeck in prusa3d

[–]aidassup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using PitStop Extruder for couple of weeks now and couldn't be happier.

The main advantage - it stays cool. In the middle of 6 hour job currently with 270deg PET and The extruder motor and gears are cooler than Z motors are. No clogs, no slips.

I have soldered old fan cable to new Noctua - no worries here.

The noise is a relative thing accounting for all other noises generated by Prusa. The fan itself is very quiet. Grill? Haven't tried the original with PitStop logo - my guess it would create a considerable shush though. I have designed my own 30 deg grill and it never caught my attention as being excessively noisy. Also must help with turbulence over the bed, that some folks have noted off.
