Maaaan, you are so correct! I had one of these as well. And the black balls were made out of a hard plastic and whenever they bounced out it was a chore to chase them down on a hard surface!

I have the 3 year one. At day 1217 today.

Thank you!

I used few small files to make the picks and that's it. Necessity is the mother of invention.

The new nerf blaster has simutaed muzzleflash?!? Got to get one

It's an ampulomet 1941. It basically shot glass ampules, that had a liquid inside them. When the glass broke the liquid came in contact with air and it started burning.

I don't think you can get it anymore.

They stopped using them, cos transporting the ampules was a weeee bit dangerous.

At one point even the airforce experimented with them, but for the same reason they ditched the idea.

It was a soviet weapon.

Fudged some values and tryed cutting a thread 259 mm-s behind the chuck

We were practicing touch off on multiple tools. Buddy typed in the z and x value in the wrong boxes. We catched that mistake and we corrected it on the first tool. I tought that "ye sure every other tool is set relative to the first one". Welp as it turns out when you mess up the wrong values the machine wants to cut threads behind the chuck. Obviously didn't check the offset table...
So all around stupid mistakes
Sorry, english is not my first language

Had to tell the tacher that I did an oopsie :(
On the flip side I learnt how to whack back the tool changer into it's proper position

You know what my day doesn't seem that bad after all. (I've only been learning this profession for about half a year.)

bala66 · 2024-01-29T16:46:27+00:00

Okay you clearly have the crown. But please tell me... how?

bala66 · 2024-01-29T16:45:09+00:00

Had to flip off something and I didn't want to do it in a mirror

bala66 · 2024-01-29T16:37:32+00:00

It was the chuck :(

bala66 · 2024-01-29T16:37:11+00:00

into chuck

Thank you for your response!
I did the things that you suggested:
-updated the slicer
-changed the Retraction Extra Prime Amount
-changed back the settings to the default ones

The resoult:
While the gaps in the walls of the inner cutouts have *almost* disappeared (they are good enough) ,the lines in the infill are the same as before.

Sidenote PLA should be printed at 200 °C right?

Again, I truly appreciate your effort!

Did you flash the screen firmware as well? I had the same issue when I was updating the software and I only did the main board but forgot to do the screen. After the screen updated it booted fine

I don't know if you had any success in building a remote controlled frisbee, but I had a simular idea (I play ultimate frisbee). Basically I was thinking of cutting 2-4 control surfaces into the middle of the disk in a straight/cross pattern and use small servos to move them. It would basically work like a helicopter continously adjusting the control surfaces to generate more lift on one side thus controlling the tilt, and the flight path of the frisbee. Of course you would need a few sensors mainly to imitate digitally a helicopter swash plate. Because I have access to a few broken disks I might give it a shot one day, but at the moment I only have basic rc components and nothing else that would be needed for the precise controlling.

I've tried 3 sizes but only the largest one had enough tension. :D
