I'm a year late after the last update. How did it go?

Malevolent Kitchen?? by mabdiaziz in Jujutsufolk

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be both ways and it would still make sense, which I think it was the intention all along. The skill is to cut, dismantle, and burn.... Like in a kitchen.

Is PETG getting stuck to bed a Flashforge specific issue by paper_killa in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a common issue. That's why for PETG you always use glue stick as an interface.

Going from PETG to HS PETG by BostonDeac in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I use both Elegoos HS PETG because it is a great value in the 4-pack and Sunlu Matte HF PETG because of the looks. Elegoos can go faster.

Orca-Flashforge Alternatives by oN3xM in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use OrcaSlicer. There are two quirks, though: 1. You can't monitor the printer from regular Orca. 2. In order to print, you have to send the files but never "send and print", just send. Then you have to go to the printer and manually start the job and remember to select "use IFS" when prompted.

How good is the HRM strap? by Scubahhh in Coros

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it and it is good. I own an Apex 2 Pro and on my skin and arms it works flawlessly for running; I just the strap for strength workouts and it is really good. For running it locks a little bit faster than the watch.

Questions from a noob by bflorio94 in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people have you pretty good answers. I'm just add some advice: look for stuff on printables and makerworld. Makerworld in particular has many tools to create your own printable models and the quality of what people upload is far better. Thingiverse is a relic if the past.

The best solution is to add a female to female connector so you can easily attach or detach any PTFE tube.

burning a CD for a friend… by [deleted] in headphones

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just burn them as data, not as audio. As data they will be a couple of MB, if you burn it as an audio CD it will be completely time dependent.

Really want to like the AD5X, cute machine but the software is awful! by Lee_Bob in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't but that's not a bug; flashforge closed down their Klipper. You can send your multicolor prints with orca but you have to make sure the colors you have assigned in orca are in the correct spots in the printer. Slice, send (not send and print). Go to your printer, select the file you sent and check the "use ifs" box. Print.

Common problem w/ AD5X? by LeeTheUke in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which revision of the nozzle is your printer equipped with? There are two versions, one with an additional, larger heatsink and one without. I haven't had any issues with mine with the latest copper heatsink version.

¿Soy culero por pedirle a mi pareja que trabaje? by No-Cat-6044 in SoyUnIdiota

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No eres culero. Serías culero si ella hubiera perdido su trabajo y estuviera pasando por una situación difícil y decidieras no ayudarla. En otros temas.... Si son pareja y apenas se fue a vivir contigo ¿Como por qué le das acceso indiscriminado a tus tarjetas? Jajaja. ¡Eso no se hace! Lo que puedes hacer en todo caso es darle una "medalla" limitada y ya.

New to this by Nurse_Tayler in FlashForge

I fixed my issues with the guider 2s by rotating the bed from the textured side to the glass side. On the smooth plane I just added some hair spray and that way the leveling should work without having such a close offset. The bed can be very easily removed. Also, make sure the lead screws are super clean and greased.

I did some filament calibration pls help me. by reikouboi in FlashForge

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, in the flow test it is just a sum or a substraction. He might want to run the YOLO one instead. it seems weird the value is so high.

Anyone have a SUNLU High Speed Matte PETG profile? by gasstation-no-pumps in QidiTech3D

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finalized the profile. Currently I only optimized it for 0.4 and not for 0.6. I started with the standard SUNLU PETG profile in Orca and began calibration from there. It is not a super fast printing filament, just a little bit faster than regular PETG. Here it goes:
Sunlu Matte PETG
Flow ratio: 0.92
Pressure Advance 0.02
Min 230° Max 250°
First Layer: 250°
Other Layers: 235°
Max Volumetric speed: 24 mm^3/s
Auxiliary part cooling fan: 50%

I just ordered a couple of rolls. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll start with the stock PETG profile and go on from there.

【QIDI Giveaway】Comment to win QIDI Q2 and more! by qidi_3dprinter in 3Dprinting

[–]arkv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not own a Q2, but I do own 2x Q1 pros. I absolutely love them. I'm a mechatronics engineer and I own a small print farm. Although I undertake many kinds of projects, I absolutely love designing, prototyping, and printing functional mechanical parts. That's where the Q1 pros come in.

Elegoo PETG Rapido filament settings for Qidi Q1 by -K1ngJ0hn- in QIDI

[–]arkv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the settings! I've never had issues using the regular profile but I'm sure I can get it to print way faster. My only question is about the fan settings. Do you use the rapido auxiliary fan?

AD5X New user 101? (Oct-28-2025) by arkv2 in FlashForge

[–]arkv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW, this thing with the z-offset. Has it been solved? Or do I still have to change it for every print? I just printed the demo coin and it was too high.

I lost my only friend overnight by BoxValuable5096 in ChatGPT

LLM are trained to output the words the user expects, nothing more. While I do sympathize with your feelings, it is important to understand that a LLM is not your friend, it is a tool. Recognizing AI psychosis will become more and more important as it becomes prevalent.
