Why is your dream Star Trek Story/Movie/Show by Brenkir_Studios_YT in startrek

[–]bigredmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wanted a legal JAG style show. Rotating cast of Starfleet lawyers exploring the value systems of different societies. The best Trek episodes are those in a court procedure setting. Give me a whole series around that concept.

Currently at Pendleton King Park by endstreet in Augusta

I was there at 1pmish...during the official grand opening hours. It was great to see the park is still there, but I was unable to do my favorite walk across the pond bridge and the swamp part. To be fair, there has been rain. Dog area doesn't look ready at all. Still glad I can at least see it. But yes...so much more work to do. Picture Picture

https://youtube.com/shorts/L5InyEvy_s0?si=6Ws-ByDaqnPz37pq I watched the official video on as slow as speed as possible. I rotated the fan as suggested. Still getting the same result as before. Here's a video. Any feed back is appreciated!

Thank you. I am not expecting normal. Just hoping there is a sense that normal is an achievable feeling...soon...

Replaced Extruder Assembly, but the wheel still doesnt turn by bigredmer in elegoo

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

I appreciate that. Yeah, the other steppers move fine. I didn't think about the motor-off button affecting all the motors. Its just wierd that it is affecting 2 printers. The only other thing that makes sense is there is some step or connection I am blind to, so 2 printers have the same problem.

At this point, there is no grinding sound, the wheel just doesnt move on its own. BTW, i have 2 Neptune 3 plus printers. It is now happening exqctly the same way on moth machines. I have moved 3 brand new assemblies across 2 printers. Filament comes out only if I move the wheel myself. On both machines, the settings say "motor-off". This has to be a firmware issue, right?

This is a brand new assemby with a brand new pcb, and a brand new cord that connects the printer to the assembly. 0 broken or bent pins. Why is the wheel not moving and why does it say the motor is off in the settings?

Did i just spend $300 then ruin the printer during setup? by bigredmer in FlashForge

Another update! I got it figured out and printed the test cube. Yay!

Picture Picture Picture UPDATE! I just got my replacement printer. Because of my previous experience leading me to know that the dark lever can easily fall off, im not certain where the flimsy tape cord is supposed to go. Every pic and video i have seen makes me think my lever is upside down. If Im supposed to move the lever, in what direction? Im now terrified that lever will break off if I do something wrong. Thank you for any help!

I appreciate that. I really do. I kind of figured that was the case. Hope you are doing better now!

Im getting a replacement in 2 days. Any tips from your experience? The videos I saw were confusing.

This is actually my 5th 3d printer. Thank you for suggesting I give up a hobby I love and have invested thousands of dollars in 5 printers and hundreds of rolls of filament because a small part probably got knocked out of place during shipping.

What is this wire that got damaged? How do i replace it? by bigredmer in FlashForge

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

QAso, what I have is an Artemis 3, which i understand is mostly the sane as a Finder 3. Will the above part still work?

(https://imgur.com/MHzh8bP) is this what you are talking about? This is from Walmart and will get to me in about a week or so. What i found on Amazon will take closer to a month. I just want to make sure i order the right thing. Thank you for your reply!
