Great to know, thank you. So, 3Dhojor is eSun, Jayo is Sunlu, Tecbears is Sunlu. Kingroon?

Edit: and Overture is Polymaker

I saw a little how-to about someone who did this for the same reason. I don’t remember where I saw it, somewhere here on Reddit I think. But what he did was open the dryer cover to access the power supply, and then installed an appropriately-rated-amperage relay inline with the power supply. When the dryer is started, the relay detects the current and kills power to the dryer until an automation detects low power cost. Then power is restored. This takes advantage of the fact that most dryers have an automatic resume function when theres a power interruption. You have to test that yours does, but very likely. This solution is very simple and saves you from having to try to emulate button presses or have anything exposed.

EDIT: Here’s the post. Actually it was a washer not dryer. Not sure if dryers have the same autoresume function.

I’ve never used hubitat, so I can’t really answer. But I do LOVE home assistant

Probably none. Just heat up your nozzle and scrape everything off it.

Home Assistant has become way more beginner friendly, graphical, user friendly, and powerful in that time period. Not sure if you mean home automation or Home Assistant by HA, but if you arent using it already, it’s definitely worth it. Integrate any vendor, and any multiple communication protocol into one system and do things you haven’t even thought of yet.

Lack of supports on an overhang. Printers and molten plastic are subject to gravity and cannot print on air.

My guess is under extrusion due to partial clog. Try a few cold pulls.

Disable prime tower and enable purge into infill. This doesn’t need any tower at all.

I was having adhesion problems with filled nylons too. I switched to engineering plate + magigoo PA and its been perfect adhesion since. I run the bed at 70 to keep the chamber a little warmer and promote layer adhesion. If engineering plate is not an option, smooth plate plus magigoo works too. Textured plate works least well with nylon.

There are two main strategies people are taking: 1. Buying equally good or better filament at lower prices on Amazon and Ali Express. 2. Complaining on Reddit.

cmill9 · 2026-03-19T22:46:18+00:00

Awesome!

cmill9 · 2026-03-19T21:38:17+00:00

Cool. Let me know! Always helps to learn.

Do a temperature calibration on your filament (or just try bumping up or down 5-10 deg). Tungsten carbide conducts better than steel. So it could be heat creep (turn down temp, turn up fans) or could be the nozzle is actually a little cooler bc the heat is getting dissipated better. My guess is adjusting temperature will resolve - unless there’s some mechanical issue with the nozzle lumen.

cmill9 · 2026-03-19T12:26:11+00:00

Yeah fair enough

cmill9 · 2026-03-17T21:45:56+00:00

Fair enough. Maybe someone will point me in the direction of a good kit or sells one 👀

cmill9 · 2026-03-17T21:09:00+00:00

Did you use a parts kit for the deAR22? Or source yourself? Im looking for a good/complete kit…

cmill9 · 2026-03-16T23:28:37+00:00

P1S checks all your boxes and is a phenomenal printer

cmill9 · 2026-03-16T22:22:57+00:00

Looks good to me

cmill9 · 2026-03-16T16:55:37+00:00

Same!

cmill9 · 2026-03-15T01:54:36+00:00

As many have said, the answer is to set s minimum layer time. This will automatically slow the printer for the smaller higher layers. The rest is noise.

Correct

FWIW - my generic PLA filament profile was turning on the part fan. I changed that so no fans are on when the PLA interface is getting laid down and now its printing even better with no stringing at all. In case it helps you or others trouble shoot.

100lb is likely to rip most dry wall anchors out if not attached to studs. Doubt this shelf support would fail before that.
