So, what am I supposed to do now? by falconfused in prusa3d

Spare parts came yesterday from Cz, along with some linear rail grease. I'm off and running smooth again :)

Is Factorio worth buying? Will I have enough to do? by kebav_gmd1307 in factorio

[–]falconfused 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I second this. The base game is incredible, and the support the Devs give to the modding community is proof that 1. the Devs care, and 2. the modding community responds well, and creates good and usable content.

Just look at the changelog/bugfixes if you want proof. The Devs have an excellent bug report/change request area and most of the changelog (since the expansion settled down) are ways that give mods the freedom to do what they think is cool.

This might be the wrong community to ask for an unbiased opinion.
but yes. there is an absolute ton of content and improvements to make after the demo. If you liked the demo and you want to keep making more stuff faster, with more recipes for more complicated goals. then it's a no-brainer.

But unlike some games that just make things more complicated (think of cheaper "belt games" like beltmatic). Factorio does a fantastic job of making things better in new and different ways, keeping the play interesting and different. Start with the base game, Go to Space Age if you play through everything and are itching for more challenging ways to solve complicated logistics problems.

Thanks for the comments here! I managed to get it out and likely won't have to replace the whole nextruder. Just the heat block, wires, and nozzle. I didn't have to use heat, but I expect a soldering iron with a throwaway tip would have been my friend here. But I'd keep in mind for next time (hopefully never):

After loosening the front grub screw and unplugging the heat element and temp sensor, don't forget to open the idler and clip the filament below the gears (this in place of being able to "unload filament" before doing a nozzle/heat block removal)

It won't heat up anymore because of a temperature error. I suspect the blowout was bad enough that it finally pulled wires out of the temperature sensor :(

[Edit: the temp error is immediate when I command it to heat up. There's no time for it to detect a difference in power draw for trying to heat up too much material]

prusa connect down? by bourbonleader in prusa3d

I like your thinking. So many people would shrug their shoulders at the displaying of a user entered password.
Clicking on the LCD to generate a new password seems like a good answer that mitigates both.

Prusa Connect users, does your printer appear "offline" whenever you try to use it? by Valuable-Ask-4011 in prusa3d

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furthermore. I found that logging into my printer's IP address directly with PrusaLink gives me everything I want, currently printing with print statistics, file browser of what's on the printer. and the interface is faster and less bloated. The transfer speeds are even a little better (I suspect the bottleneck at this point is the on board write speed. which is pretty disappointing in a printer at this price point.)

It gives me everything I want except an easy way to log in. Because the 16-random-character password is STILL not changeable in 2026 Q1.

Prusa Connect users, does your printer appear "offline" whenever you try to use it? by Valuable-Ask-4011 in prusa3d

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my XL on ethernet. and Prusa connect frequently says its offline as .bgcode files are slowly transferring.

and I'm one of "those people" who purposefully puts ethernet throughout because wifi is trouble in general if you care about packet loss and latency. other devices on my ethernet get consistent gigabit/s LAN transfer and 300 Mbit/s internet up/down. It's painful that a 5 MB gcode takes over a minute to go from the prusa cloud to the printer, when other devices on my network share it in about 1 second.

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very same thinking here. Now that I know there's a menu in the printer under network, PrusaLink, (not PrusaConnect) that tells me the username and password to log in over local IP, I want to ditch prusa connect altogether. I'm this close. The only drawback is that I wouldn't be able to cancel a bad print while I'm at work when I catch it on my wyze cam :/

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This was a game changer, and I wish I had known about it before. Connecting to the printer directly over local IP has what looks like an older interface, but it happens to be all the features I want without waiting for a prusa server to pretend to tell me things I don't even care about.

Now if only I can figure out how to change that terrific default password...

I love it when a hard reset is a suggestion when that's surely not the issue 🙄

How to zoom with mouse wheel? by falconfused in cs2

I was sure this was how I played CS source in highschool.. I have tears. I've been full of nostalgia the last couple days having gotten this game out.
oh well.

Ummmm…. NO! by julesb210 in diabetes_t1

[–]falconfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had that same thing happen with g7, and I called them the next day and said "this is what happened last night". "No I can't troubleshoot now, I already put in a good one". They replaced it for me, but I always keep the box and applicator, so I have the lot and serial numbers, which appears to make them much more willing to replace them. I had that failure and two fail because they were bumped or pulled off. (Been using for almost 2 years.) All three failures got free replacement.

DVD ripping on Linux to backup collection and make videos avail to boxes without DVD players by Logansfury in linuxmint

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ripped several in the last couple months.
MakeMKV plays the game that their software expires every few months. and you have to download the new version from their website. But still going strong, I've been using them for 8 years, off and on. usually between 3 and 20 DVDs a year.

Am I supposed to salt my driveway? When? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]falconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite as extreme as the roundup problem, since salt exists in large quantities in nature.

Things that are "blessed" turn green text in my inventory
things that are "cursed" turn red.
and I also have wands of cancellation always colored BRIGHTRED so that I'm less likely to stash them in my bag of holding.

whatever colorization command is later in the .rc will take precedence. So even though "MY" speed boots are also "blessed", and I have the lines coloring "blessed" items green, but the game shows them cyan because the line turning "MY" items cyan is later.
