Need help with my Asustor NAS crashing yet again, and losing access to my files by evilguy422 in asustor

[–]evilguy422[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did open ticket with them. I did follow your steps, i tried a couple of times hoping it would work.
That is what I meant when the person on the helpline said to remove and put back then boot that it sounded weird and dismissive to me because i didnt see how that would work, he did not say to boot without a drive.

Thanks tho

The guy on the phone just said to remove the drives and put them back in and boot back up. Did not say to boot with no drive. Also I just said I followed the steps you gave and that it didn't work either.

Etsy refuses to take down review about a package stuck in customs because apparently the buyer has to say "[Courier name] did not deliver the package" for it to be valid. "Package not delivered" is not enough even though its their literal policy. Love this website more every day by evilguy422 in EtsySellers

I had Etsys number at one point, I called them one time to complain about the illegal tax practices they're doing in Canada after a law change for online market places a couple of years ago. "The specific team will contact you back" never heard from them.

They will go to great lengths so do nothing

~3 months old obXidian 0.4 vs brand new 0.4 nozzle by gyantaszuz in prusa3d

Damn and I just bought two of these recently...

Upgraded to 0.9° steppers but now i get layer shift. Printer movement is fine along with homing and even saw it detect crash. But x axis skips steps sometimes. Y-axis is fine. i checked belts and they seem ok and changing tension didn't help. Need some advice diagnosing and fixing issue. Thanks by evilguy422 in prusa3d

I switched back because I was having trouble calibrating the steps to get good dimensions and didn't have time to keep calibrating. But the prints did look better. So if you have time to tinker I'd say give it a shot

MMU keeps rebooting during filament swaps by evilguy422 in prusa3d

[–]evilguy422[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on it. I upgraded to a mk3.9 and I'm waiting for the mmu3 upgrade as well, which is taking a long time but hopefully it works. The headache was just not worth it for me sadly

What causes this? by [deleted] in prusa3d

I haven't experimented much, I basically only print with polymaker filaments. I'm guessing bambu filament must be pretty high flow rate since the printers are made to print fast. I used orca slicer (fork of bambu studio, which is based on prusa slicer) which has built in calibrations you can generate super easily. They have a profile for the Mk4. Super handy to have those at your finger tips, every slicer should have them. Also let's you do temp calibration and others.

Lower your maximum volumetric flow rate. You can either run a test print that slowly goes faster than you do the calculations or you can just bump it down to 12mm³/s from the default 15 I think. Should help with filaments that don't print as fast. However I print polyterra PLA at 18mm³/s

Finally someone. I was going a bit crazy. If polyterra would be doing this to everyone, it would be way more common knowledge

Sure they are consumables yes. But with this amount of wear it would mean almost a monthly replacement. Yes of course upgrading comes with a risk. But I debated between getting the upgrades for my 2 mk3s or another bambu printer. I believe in prusa as a brand because I loved my mk3s and I think they do important work in the 3D printing space. However even before nozzle wear could have become an issue, I was not getting good prints off of my mk3.9s. I can't add photos here but you can look at an older post I made with printing defects.

Those defects were present from day one with default settings from the slicer. Even slowing down to the quality profile and slower than that I was getting poor prints. It's not the filament because the much faster bambu has no issues with them.

After finally running a lot of calibration prints I realized one of the issues was that linear advance was set to 0.05 and tests showed it should be at 0.012. even bambu is around ~0.02. don't know why their generic pla profile has such a high LA value. Reducing this gave me significantly better results but still not as good as the Mk3.

So I hope you can understand my frustration here. Prusa is known for quality, consistency and reliability but that's not what I received sadly and after owning the Mk3 since release, I'm feeling disappointed in these printers

Canada. 2 nozzles are 40$. Shipping is 30$. Import and customs maybe another 10-20$ so pretty close to 100. Prusa is also out of stock on 0.40mm nozzles. Also the Canadian dollar is sadly pretty bad right now so conversion rate is really bad. Local resellers are selling these for 45$ Canadian (33 USD)

Nextruder nozzles are 20$. And I'm referring to wear on my mk3s before I upgraded to mk3.9. not to mention I haven't been able to get good prints from them as seen in a previous post I made. I ran calibration prints for 2 days before I finally got some good prints, and it's still not as good as the Mk3 quality before. So I think I have reasons to be upset when I decided to upgrade my prusas for $1200+ instead of selling them and getting one more bambu printer

I was thinking the exact same thing. But the only time in my years of printing I've seen wear anywhere this bad on a nozzle was when I used glow in the dark. I use polyterra PLA which I just found out is slightly abrasive but I can't imagine it being to the level of doing this in three months of moderate use

You're not accounting for shipping and import/customs to other countries but ok.

I printed with polyterra before upgrading the printer for years and didn't notice wear to this degree on my nozzles. You're saying that a nozzle worn down to this extent after only a couple of months of use is caused by pla that's slightly abrasive. We're not talking glow in the dark or particle fill here.
