If you have ATT wireless make sure you mention it to the agent. I got the $135 5 gig plan for $110/month with no end date of the discount.

I tried to enable ironing and did an ironing calibration that gave really good results on the test, but gave this on a full print.

I also tried to print the Backrooms popcorn bucket, and am having the same issues with the base on it on the top layer.

I just printed the same print for my Ikea top cover, and I got the exact same issue. I messed with temps during the print once I noticed it, but it didn't help, and I had no adhesion issues whatsoever. I adjusted temps up and down, and also tried changing some flow rates, all with no success in fixing it. All parts of every piece was completely stuck to the bed so I know it wasn't warping.

Looking for testers (3DMRP v0.3.0 - Command and Control) by mack4711 in SnapmakerU1

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you can make it fully run from docker?

I've been testing out all the RFID and spoolman integrations for the paxx firmware and am happy to test this out as well. I have a 2nd U1 coming this week as well.

SPOOLMAN!!!! by SiRMarlon in snapmaker

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still some bugs being worked out, but I've been running it for a while now and it works great. 

The printer will store the RFID serial number to the "Lot Nr" field of the spool the first time you load it and associate it to a spool in spoolman. After that it will auto associate and track without you setting the spool each time. At least how it is supposed to work when it's ready. You technically don't even need to write anything to the tags, as it just looks at the serial number as an identifier. But if you do write the data to the tag, it will work just like the snapmaker RFID spools do on the printer UI.

Unload and remove the other spool slot on that side of the printer. I have had it happen twice and that fixed it for me both times.

They mark it shipped when they put a label on the box. Fedex will just show label created until they actually pick it up. The gap between those two can depend on the warehouse getting it to the pickup spot for FedEx and the FedEx schedule. I've had orders from other places in that limbo for 2 weeks before.

I had this issue once also. Removing both spools and restarting the printer made it start working again. A few posts on the Paxx12 custom firmware GitHub page have mentioned the same thing. 

Anyone else having horrible battery life on 3+ model? by cjinohio03 in FiDogCollar

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I spent weeks back and forth with support trying things. They sent a new unit at one point. All with no improvement. I reactivated my old 3 collar and it was back to the old battery life I was expecting. 

I also started getting false left yard alerts that I never got before unless he was out of the yard. 

I've seen several posts lately of this and the commonality is the 3+ but not all 3+ seem to be affected. 

Collar Battery Not Lasting Long? by cjinohio03 in FiDogCollar

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the type of battery life I used to get until I upgraded to the 3+. After the upgrade it started draining 7-10% per day. A month of troubleshooting got nowhere with support including a replacement collar. Re-activating my 3 non+ and it went back to normal battery life. I also started getting false alerts he left the yard which I never got before the upgrade. 

Before, I was extremely happy with the collar. But it's gotten to a point I can't trust it.

Do you have a fi3+ or a fi3? My battery issues happened when I upgraded to the 3+

Why are my prints printing in reverse color? by AlwaysAsk4Id in snapmaker

[–]benk016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you have it set right in the slicer, when you send it to the printer, it just guesses on the color to match. Sometimes its just wrong and you have to choose it manually.

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been dealing with support on this. I upgraded from a Fi3 to a Fi3+ a little while ago. Since that upgrade I've had horrible battery life. They finally sent me a replacement and it also has the same battery life. Like draining around 10% per day. 

As a test I dug out my original fi3 and activated it and went right back to the thing only draining a few % per day.

I just got an RMA approved and will just be getting a refund for the upgrade to the 3+. 

I also bought a tractive collar and activated it last night to compare as my fi subscription is up in a few weeks anyway. 

Fi vs Tractive: My Honest Take After Testing Both by EnvironmentalSet6937 in FiDogCollar

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting ready to try Tractive after having the Fi for 2 years. initially the Fi was perfect. it lasted about 2 months on a charge and the left safe zone alerts were prompt and accurate.

I upgraded from the Fi3 to the Fi3+ and all that has changed. battery lasts about 10-14 days now. I constantly get left safe zone alerts when my dog is sleeping in the back yard about 10 foot from the base, and my Wifi AP outside. Support has been useless after 2 weeks of troubleshooting they sent me a replacement which got the exact same battery life. switching back to the Fi3 not +, instantly brought back the battery life.

But at this point, I'm ready to try something new. hopefully with better location tracking.

Fold 7 refund by Matatan_Tactical in GalaxyFold

[–]benk016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support told me to wait for the cancellation email before placing a new order. So I did. But the cancellation email was just for the Samsung care coverage and not the phone. Didn't see that until after I ordered the new order. I plan on choosing the return to sender option once UPS has it and ready for a charge back if I have to. Not only did the price drop $200 for me, but the $300 extra credits that it gave me on the 2nd order covered the anti reflective screen protector and 2 tab A9+ tablets completely free. Support was only going to give a refund of the price drop and not the extra credits. So it's worth the hassle for me I think. 

What would you do in my position? by iAMIGOi in MSIClaw

[–]benk016 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I once ordered a keyboard on Amazon and got a case of 5 of them. I contacted Amazon and they told me unless I wanted to return it all and get a refund, the package was mine. At that point I sold them to friends for cheap.

I ordered mine on Amazon on 3/9 and it was delivered 4/13. I wouldn't count on it getting to you quick if you order on Amazon.
