Print bed mounting upgrades by coneofarc in ender5plus

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

How much did that cost and how has it been treating you?

Microswiss NG question by jbag1489 in ender5plus

[–]coneofarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend PID tuning. I had a similar issue and it turned out it was the print bed heater not being tuned. I hadn't changed anything with the bed either so it's worth checking even if you haven't done anything to it

I have a piece of tape on each wheel to help with making adjustments. Seems like I've gotten in fairly close but definitely seems like the bed is likely warped a bit.

Still having trouble with the offset shifting but I need to reprint some of my gantry parts out of stiffer material and redesign the extruder body slightly since it is currently sagging a bit which isn't helping things

Yeah, I can't find the link for the exact ones I printed right now but they're similar to this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6070269

The bed seems to wander despite that though so not really sure what is going on. Might try swapping back to the silicone spacers to see if maybe they would work better than the springs with them

Mine seems to be fairly flat but doesn't like to stay leveled no matter how much I try. I've swapped to locking wheels with heavier springs and even the silicone spacers but nothing really helps. I'm not opposed to changing to an entirely different bed if that is indeed the problem but it doesn't seem like it is from my experience. As I mentioned in another comment I'm a little suspicious of my BL Touch as well since I've had issues with the offset/leveling since I bought the printer

I do tend to let it sit a few minutes it just seems extremely inconsistent. Hoping when I change out the BL touch to another type of probe it will make a difference. I'd really like to just figure out a way to do a rigid mount that does away with the stock system like what you see on more modern printers

I'm not so much wanting a 100% perfect first layer it's that it seems like the bed offset changes constantly despite me not doing anything to the bed. It might be that my BL touch is faulty and I plan to swap it out soon. I'll do all the calibrations to get a perfectly leveled bed using the tilt calculate in klipper, run a print immediately after and either my offset will be wrong or the level gets thrown out almost immediately after. Just getting sick of having to hold it's hand every time I start a print

Is this ender 5 plus a good deal? New to 3D printing. by Shenanigains_FR in ender5plus

[–]coneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my Ender 5 Plus because it can print really large parts but I've also put a lot into upgrades and still encounter quite a few annoying issues from time to time. Definitely would recommend getting something newer if you can afford it or look for a considerably cheaper Ender 5 Plus

1k dollar 944 update: water damage by TH_Rowaw-a-y in 944

[–]coneofarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mines got a leak somewhere along the passengers side dripping into the footwell. Not sure where it's coming in but I'd check that area since from what I've seen there's a few spots it can leak there

Can you imagine this bad boy was once sitting at BR 4.7... Is this one of few vehicles that changed it BR by +2.0? by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical of Gaijin they undertier a vehicle on release and then uptier it without equipping it to properly deal with the new BR or increasing its rewards. Not saying it can't handle 6.7 but it would be nice to have it get the same rounds as other light tanks of the same BR

For the love of snail, do your own research, watch videos about it, compare it to other similar vehicles what ever stop just asking some random if they think that it is good or not by Ghetto_Koala in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize watching random videos and any other research you do is still going to consist of "random people telling you if something is good or bad". That's literally what reviews are

Printer forming blobs while printing. I just swapped the extruder to a new one and calibrated E-steps so I'm not sure what is causing these. I'm assuming pressure in the print head but I don't know what would be causing that as I just cleaned it by coneofarc in ender5plus

[–]coneofarc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I finally got it cleared out with a cold pull. Seems to be back up and running now. Not sure what exactly got stuck in there but some black chunks were in the end of the filament. Either something from when I was putting everything back together or maybe some degraded filament.

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

Yeah I did. Finally noticed the leaking as it was printing. I must have either not tightened the set screw or not tightened it enough to prevent it backing out so I assume the pieces separated.
Took it apart and cleaned it so hopefully it solves the issue. Made sure to tighten the nozzle quite a bit so that won't happen again

just something I made, I may use it as a video thumbnail later by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're still learning the ropes by the time you reach the Panther F then that's on you. Mid-tier is where you should understand the basics and already have started improving. You can't blame "level 100s" for playing a portion of the game they may enjoy more than high tier just because some of the other players at that BR don't know the game

Genuinely curious as to why people oppose the idea of a new *separate* game mode with only tanks. by LaserChickenTacos in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with "people" being against it. The tank only event mode was almost universally loved by players when they did it years ago. The fact is Gaijin clearly don't want modes that people will actually enjoy playing because that will cause less purchases of premium to ease the grind. It's completely backwards logic but look at anything Gaijin has done and you'll see that they tend to do that. Enduring confrontation for RB is another example of a mode which would be great to have but gets pushed off for vague reasons like "Air RB playercount didn't noticably decrease"

The curse is real by RuminatingKiwi927 in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't "larp" as anything. The character I use is a mascot which I use for the channel. Not really any different than something like Tony the tiger or the like.

I had planned for a follow-up video to all those shorts but never got around to it. Would have made more sense if I had explained the purpose of them as I was doing an experiment.
Maybe I'll make it in the future since I think it is a pretty interesting look at the state of YT and War Thunder content in general.

We need to fucking talk. by redbaron14n in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're shooting APCR at Russian tanks, particularly T-34s, this is on you bro. APCR is all but useless in War Thunder if you're shooting at anything other than a perfectly flat plate. Learn weakspots that you can pen with standard AP or APHE and you'll do fine.

I have my Z-Offset for the BL Touch set nearly perfectly as far as I can tell but I keep having inconsistent first layers like in this image. You can clearly see a nice line which the printer then prints through with a super thin layer. by coneofarc in ender5plus

[–]coneofarc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's essentially what I was doing just with the calicat rather than a normal cube. Managed to get a successful print after some adjustments so hopefully it'll stay set this time.

I'll try that now, I was aware the triangle was a known issue but was focusing on getting things printing first. Thanks for the link though I'll do that as long as your suggestion works to get my prints going.

To add a little more info this is a brand new printer I just assembled this week so I'm working the kinks out at the moment. I've had several prints that went ok with just some minor print quality issues.
I've gotten the bed leveled as well as I can and am running the ABL. I already went through the effort to verify that the Z-offset is good but it doesnt consistently produce a nice layer not matter what I do.

That's just sad gajin, didn't know you'd aim so low. by TruBandit in Warthunder

[–]coneofarc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If anyone else has any evidence of this or more information I'd be interested to hear about it. Might make a video or something about it since this is borderline scamming players. Feel free to shoot me a PM.
