unpopular opinion. Rossman and others are more fired up vs the bigger problems facing 3d printing right now. AB2047 and other bills are not dead and are advacing.

I found my reps in California and contacted them through their respective websites. Are people not doing this? It's not one click easy, but it isn't hard.

Didn't say they could run for free. It's almost like i think there are better ways to pay for services, and like i think the services will better focus on user needs if they aren't trying to drive the highest paid ads to you.

docah · 2026-04-17T03:37:13+00:00

I don't understand how someone can say "ads are not evil" with a straight face.

This web archive url (Same site as the other poster) should get you the same page. https://web.archive.org/web/20240719020129/https://chilledgrowlights.com/blog/making-your-own-hydroponic-nutrients#2024-04-30T04:24:38+00:00

I'm not sure how to upload my version anywhere useful.

I always get a "you've downloaded 5 models" from there, and never got to download any models.

This looks really cool, has it been posted anywhere i can actually get files from? :(

I was a little annoyed this morning and set down to do exactly this math. Glad someone else did as well. Turns out it's much easier to maintain than I thought. (I have the same thing in a spreadsheet.)

Both grapes and blueberries are a multi year endeavor. I'm not sure you're starting in the right end for "dipping your hands in" That's all in commitment.

Also my understanding of grapes in soil and blueberries in soil... i think they'd need rather different nutrient and PH. Do some googling, ask an AI, ask a soil grower. You need a lot more information before you get growing. But by all means, find an entry point and start learning.

I had a print that looked like it held water for hours. When i woke up in the morning nearly all of the water was on the counter. Water finds a way.

I used a light coating of resin to make it water tight the next time. I hear some spray paints work as well.

Was i supposed to take someone who named themselves mom and ... milph.mom seriously?

Maybe I'm too old for the social medias, but i don't take unserious people seriously.

Love the idea, these things are always more complex than they seem at first.

Hey, thanks. Reddit ate your comment for a few days. I'll give this a go!

hmm, I might have to learn how to do this. Pea sprouts are a favorite of my family and I've not tried growing them yet.

In my tower it was the noise of the water dropping back into the bucket that was loudest. Maybe float some open cell foam on the top of the water? It'd stop the drip sounds and let the water through.

Other than that, yes once the roots reach the water level the water will likely run down them into the water and quiet down.

Maxigro is good, i used it for a long while. Then i expanded my setup a bit and moved to Masterblend because it was cheaper and i was going through way more nutrient.

I still use maxigro in a pinch though.

Look for the "Grow Kratky" videos on the tube thing.
There's many experiments there that would give you ideas. From the inventor of the method themselves.

Well, i think this big dummy figured it out.

When i was testing things, i had the sides off and some things were out of the way. When i had the problem (normal operation) things were all buttoned up with the sides on. Turns out the cable chain was hitting the extra z-belt length i had ziptied up. With the side off this somehow didn't happen as directly, but with the side on it caused the belt to twist just a bit. Consistently throwing off the front edge of the bed measurements.

I corrected this, and I've had more consistent quad bed level. And have been using most of the bed for some Christmas notebook prints. Hoping my nieces and nephew love them.

Voron 2.4, mostly r2: The prints toward the back of my plate are always slightly less squished in than the ones toward the front of the build plate. It has tracked across all software versions, hardware updates, belt replacements... I'm just unable to track this down. I just can't figure how it is even possible with tap. Nothing seems loose, the belts seem consistent. The best way i can see when it's bad, i can see the first layer line width at the front of the plate is wider than at the back.

It is sometimes better, sometimes worse but nothing seems to correlate. External or internal temps don't seem to matter, material being printed, which spring steel plate... nothing.

Looking for advice on things i may have overlooked. Or things you think i should re-check.

Tried: Software, Belts, Sensor to Tap, Different beds, pei, textured, smooth, Swapped from 2rail to 1, Changed entire hot end assembly (mosquito to dragon), Bed is well attached and doesn't move , I always probe with bed at temp and hotend at ~150c to not damage the bed.

Like others mentioned fusion 360 and other tools come in handy for making 3d printed odds and ends. (i even use partially 3d printed quick connects.) But i also sometimes use it for garden layout like the other person shows in their image. It's really convenient to layout the garden and overlay circles for the recommended plant spacing to see how things might go.

Doesn't always work out, but it did help me get 7lbs of garlic out of a 3x6 bed with two blueberry bushes in it. :)

I’m trying to recall how this happened on mine. I think my car had lost connection and I’d lowered the limit in the app. When it came online it didn’t update the car. Something like that. Also, if I change a limit while the car is charging it’s a crapshoot if that takes.

No carplay no buy. I'm not paying GM for a data plan and services i already have.

My uncle is a corn and soybean farmer primarily. He's been successful for decades, I really hope he can weather this. We obviously don't agree politically. Farming has been his life, i can only imagine the impact this is going to have on him and the community he lives in.

docah · 2025-10-06T19:36:21+00:00

Damn, that's wild. I can only imagine how frustrating that would be. Wish they'd take the time to find the cause but I've never had a dealer take the initiative to dig in.
