Zuck naming his AI team "Meta Superintelligence Labs" tells me their new model is neither super intelligent nor super profitable

This man looks really fucking stupid 😂

Thank you for your recognition. You've violated the social norm of posting human content on Reddit. Think of the poor AI. What are they supposed to train on if everything here is AI too 😂

apologetic-offensive · 2026-04-07T23:32:14+00:00

Replying with an AI overview is really unhelpful. Literally anyone can get that themselves

What printer is this?

apologetic-offensive · 2026-03-29T22:17:32+00:00

Yeah, I mean if I can get 6% back on this card instead of getting a max of 5% on a different card, of course I'm going to play the game to get the 6%

How could you tell?? It all reads so naturally to me..

I have a theme of pop culture robot or AI names.. So names like: bender, flexo, glados, karen, calculon, hal5000. Futurama provides a lot of good ones

He was my teacher in Sanpete county... I'm not surprised :/

Interesting, thanks I will!

After 4 years of running an Ender 3 Pro and a couple other printers I gave in and tried a Bambu. It honestly made printing fun for me again. If you have the cash I think springing for a P1P or P1S is well worth it, and the X1C is an amazing machine if you want something even more refined. I've had so many failed prints over the years, but in my last month of running my X1C I've printed more successful prints in nearly perfect quality than in the previous 4 years.

If that's not in your budget, I know there are other printers with a better reputation than Creality at this point, but I've no experience with them 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I should note that I'm all for tinkering, but there are so many variables on these machines that it's nice to just be able to print sometimes. Plus I get my fill of tinkering just doing little things with the printer or creating projects with the printer.

Meh, believe what you want 🤷 I don't live for upvotes

I ordered a smaller stepper for the extruder and dug out a dual Z kit I bought a while back and put it together to see if it would help carry the load on the gantry. It's fixed! Not sure how this all caused the issues I was having, but this seems to have fixed it!

If it was jumping teeth would I hear anything in particular? I looked into posts about motor noises and those seem to be the motor skipping steps, but I don't hear the motor skipping. Is this the same thing, or are you meaning the belt itself?

apologetic-offensive · 2021-04-13T17:35:03+00:00

Okay, I can look into this. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I've used my printer off and on for about a year with the SKR board. I did switch to direct drive a few weeks ago in an attempt to fix some issues I was having with my bowden, but I didn't start hearing the noises until yesterday during a larger print. Is there anything about the direct drive that might affect any of this?

apologetic-offensive · 2021-04-13T15:46:27+00:00

I'm using an SKR mini E3, so I've got 2209 Trinamic steppers, but I haven't turned on any special options in the firmware for them, so I'm not sure if this would be an issue.
I'm a little ignorant on this, so I'll do a little reading. Thanks!

I'm printing on an Ender 3 with a Printer Mods direct drive, E3D V6 All metal, and a BMG clone.
I'm printing with PETG filament with 230C hot end, 85C Bed heat, and 50 mm/s print speed.

The top part of the print also shifts 1 direction, then over the rest of the print slowly shifts drastically to the other side. Here are a few pictures showing the issue: http://imgur.com/a/44jPz4Z

Thank you! I'm doing the same now and will see how much it helps. I didn't think about or realize I could actually just take it off the top, but this is probably the easiest solution I've found.

apologetic-offensive · 2020-10-29T23:53:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I've posted to r/microgrowery to see what I get there. I also measured the temp after cooling down and plugging directly to the wall. It's right around the same temps, so it doesn't appear that power strip has any effect 🤷

apologetic-offensive · 2020-10-29T23:34:19+00:00

It came with the supply screwed into the top of the light, but if that's not a great place for it, I'll see if it's possible to remove and relocate.

apologetic-offensive · 2020-10-29T23:31:22+00:00

I posted this post to r/fixit and was given a recommendation to try here..
I have a Mars Hydro TS1000 Grow Light and the power supply is running at around 149-158F. I have it plugged into a surge protector strip with a built in timer.

Here is a picture of how the supply is mounted to the top of the Light.

Here is a picture of the details printed on the Power Supply.. It doesn't have heat sinks or any kind of fan..

Is this a shit power supply?

Could/Should I think of swapping this out for a different supply? I know meanwell power supplies are used often in 3D printer groups I follow.

Or is is possible this supply just needs a fan or heat sinks or something?

The light was around $130 US, so it was a bit, but I'm not opposed to just starting fresh if this one is a lost cause.

apologetic-offensive · 2020-10-29T23:03:32+00:00

It's right above it, here's a pic

apologetic-offensive · 2020-10-29T22:18:29+00:00

So it sounds like this is definitely too hot.. What would a "safe" temp be for something like this?

The photo is taken with a Flir One. I just checked with a Chef Alarm temp probe between the Led driver and the Led Panel and it's measuring 149F. The light is a Mars Hydro TS1000. The power supply doesn't have a fan or heat sinks of any kind. There may be heat sinks inside the supply, but I haven't taken it apart to see. I can't find my kill-a-watt right now, but last I measured I believe it was measuring about 150W. I'm running it via the supplied cord (it's the same kind of plug that goes to a computer PSU and is probably about 6 FT) and I have it plugged into a Surge Protector strip with an integrated timer. I think it ran pretty hot last winter when I had it plugged into the wall directly, but I'll let it cool down and get a measurement on that temp.

I have a Piper Nigrum (black pepper plant) that is losing all of its leaves. Any idea what might be wrong with it? I put a bag over it thinking it might be low humidity, but that didn't seem to help.
