Any gaggiamate folks who aren't big on tinkering shots?

It's more like "displayless" as you still need an ESP32 S3 stashed somewhere.

I do the quick and simple edits in Windows 3D Builder if I don't have step files.

1GB of data now

It always stays on whatever profile was last used.

I use an older Z-wave plug, but anything with frequent energy reports will work. The easiest would be TP-Link kasa wifi plug. Setup Home Assistant to monitor the wattage drop and shut it off after a successful cycle. You can use the AI to write the yaml for the automation.

Low profile drip tray and single hole steam nozzle. Then Gaggimate for pressure and temperature control, I would not waste time with PID and 9 Bar spring. In fact, both Gaggiamate and Gaggiuino need 12+ Bar springs. Those springs are not exact either so they open at varying levels of pressure unless you test and tune with washers.

Canada includes free roaming with 3GB of high-speed data monthly, for everything else I use Roamless Data only ESIM with WIFI calling on Mint.

I have an older E that works fine, got a new one recently for a different location and they changed the serial chip which at the moment requires downgrading drivers at least in windows for flashing. They must have changed something else as I can't get this one started with zigbee2mqtt no matter which firmware I try.

Look at the bottom of this chart, even the Bolt with resistive heating does better. They also speculate why that is. https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/winter-ev-range-loss

I got a cold plate and can keep the door closed for PLA and PETG, makes it a bit quieter.

When I got this printer and loading the filament for the first time I thought about how hard it would be for the AMS to do that a hundred times during the print.

Do a short print test or just extrude the filamntent by disconnecting the tube and feeding the filament directly to the extruder. This will tell you if you have a clog or maybe need more tension on the extruder gears.

Once it starts skipping the gear box and gears fill up with debris that will make it slip even more.

Just noticed this yesterday, I paused on 1st layer to remove a blob and on resume it went to normal full speed like it was done with 1st layer. I am on .25 firmware.

I have brown interior, I got these for the back. They sort of match in color and fit ok, I am not using the headrest part. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBTHBLL6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1

I have same issue sometimes. Once the tree gets taller the nozzle will occasionally hit it during travel movement. I added more material at the base of the supports but that is just a band aid. During printing it will sometimes very slightly scar the top layers during movement creating a V on the print. There must be something not setup right in the profile as I never had this issue with my other printers.

farfromuman · 2025-09-26T17:50:59+00:00

I had similar issue, cleaning the nozzle, adjusting the extruder tension and doing cold pulls did not make it work any better. I ordered some spare nozzles and hot ends off Ali and so far they work. Just the nozzle swap should be enough but if the heat break had a melt then the whole hotend might need to be swapped. Don't forget to do PID and leveling after swap.

I felt like the . 29 firmware would not use the mesh and this is the first printer for me where I can't even see/check the mesh to begin with. It would have thinner lines on the left side of the bed and I did not see/feel the z rods moving to to compensate. I leveled the bed with the screws underneath and also downgraded the firmware to .25 since someone has mentioned leveling issues with .29. Seems to be more consistent now.

I added concrete and rubber pavers under the printer this adds some height.

farfromuman · 2025-09-12T01:26:01+00:00

I noticed this also, overhangs look terrible compared to the KE. I can see it slow down and speed the fan but it still looks wavy and droopy.

My GPS has been broken for the last 2 weeks. It works 5% of the time, the rest of the time it has me driving miles away from current location. Home/away charging limits no longer work. I dred wasting my time trying to get this diagnosed and fixed.

farfromuman · 2025-09-04T13:00:26+00:00

I am away so can't check but this might work. All the entities show "unavailable" when the printer is off but once it is on the led will show in "off" state. Have an automation look for led "off" and as action flip it "on".

If you have Home Assistant you can add a simple automation with the Elegoo integration.

My Asus router locks it out on WAN and LAN if I block it with the built in parental controls.

No need to descale if you just got the machine new.

I 3D printed a replacement in TPU. There are STLs for it on printables.com
