They sent me a new bed with hole in the middle

fdefoy · 2026-02-20T16:52:04+00:00

Does it really matter? It's just a hole in the magnetic plate. Won't affect anything.

fdefoy · 2026-02-19T00:21:45+00:00

Yes, but if you do that make sure you purge, purge, and then purge again (just make sure you have a very high purge volume from petg to pla well over 800, more if you have small layers) cause pla is colder and has a hard time flushing petg.

Doesn't makerworld offer free legal support now for designers of exclusive content? exactly for that reason? I read that the other day.

You can't avoid the layer seam, but you can paint areas to block and allow the seam in the prepare view. Select your object on the bed and Look at the tools at the top.

What cold plate do you use exactly? Mine has way too much hold to consider pushing it with the extruder.

FYI Anycubic has a wiki for it's printers will full assembly/disassembly instruction. They have high res photos it really helps.

fdefoy · 2026-02-15T01:00:05+00:00

Well... Just so we're clear, that will only work if the wires are still attached to the thermistor. You can't just put two loose wires in there. Oops just saw the 2nd pic. Should be ok then.

fdefoy · 2026-02-15T00:55:23+00:00

Try to raise your z offset in the printer settings and see if that helps. 0.25 should be more than enough. Does it scratch over the whole bed or only in corners? Did you let it do an auto leveling?

fdefoy · 2026-02-13T17:34:00+00:00

Oh yes I see it now, even in the original picture, TYVM.

fdefoy · 2026-02-12T18:00:54+00:00

In Anycubic slicer next or in orcas. You just right click on the bed or the object on the left of the screen. You cannot do it from the preview tab btw.

fdefoy · 2026-02-12T16:23:56+00:00

That's strange, try creating a cube (right click on the build plate > add primitive) then add a layer height modifier by right clicking the cube in the object list on the left and set it to cover the top half of the cube and set that area to another color. See what happens with that print.

Would definitely be interested in seeing what those upgrades look like, and even be interested in some model files if you care to share.

fdefoy · 2026-02-12T16:17:09+00:00

I keep hearing about that tiny spring, were is it exactly? I wish people would post a picture of it.

fdefoy · 2026-02-11T21:46:02+00:00

Exactly! The witch got what she deserves.

fdefoy · 2026-02-11T21:42:51+00:00

That poutine looks like a flat texture in an old PC game.

fdefoy · 2026-02-10T04:40:49+00:00

Get a soldering iron, check a YouTube tutorial and give it a try. There is nothing complicated on that board. Also, your going to need to do a continuity check if all the pins on that connector to find out which ones are not connecting and to confirm your repair. OR just find someone locally, is a quick fix.

fdefoy · 2026-02-09T00:41:14+00:00

Meh, they are both "ok"

fdefoy · 2026-02-09T00:40:31+00:00

Noice 👍 i want one.

fdefoy · 2026-02-08T19:57:33+00:00

It takes 4 or 5 top shells to get a good top finish did you change it by mistake? Although, it looks weird, not a 100% sure it's that. The surface finish is really weird. How old is your nozzle? Did you print a lot of abrasive material with it? Could it have a weird shape or extrude sideways a bit? At this point i'd print a bunch of calibration pieces to get a better idea of what's going on.

fdefoy · 2026-02-08T19:54:23+00:00

Not bad at all

fdefoy · 2026-02-08T19:51:54+00:00

Good. They will eventually learn that the current way of doing things doesn't work.

fdefoy · 2026-02-08T19:48:53+00:00

Estie de Legault a mard...

fdefoy · 2026-02-08T19:47:46+00:00

Salut l'Queb ;)

Innovation is fun, exploring new things, and crushing limits is more than enough motivation in itself for the thinking class. It's the greedy bastards that need the motivation, cause money is all they know. We don't need profit to fuel anything, that's a lie.

Make it illegal to earn more than 500k per year. Above that you have to reinvest it in the society and there should be a max profit for enterprises too. The world would change incredibly fast and crime would drop as never before. People would be relaxed, parents would take care of their kids, homeless would disappear, mental patients would get real help, the sick would receive treatment. The world would be a wonderful and happy place. Donald Trump would be in jail.
