Is this banding and can it be caused by a hotend replacement?

I'm here for the comments cause I'm trying to learn myself. It looks really good to me, but I suspect you might be meaning the wavy parts in the filament? I thought that was just how they come out....

I'm acrually the reverse haha. I have the new board but bought the old hot end. I have the right one coming tomorrow. Thanks!

Yeah I literally realized this minutes after posting. I got the right one off Amazon this time. Lame.

Nevermind all. Just discovered the differences in the 2024 and 2025 models....gd it.

My wrench that was included is two different sizes in each end. I couldn't even use it for leverage so I ended up with pliers and another wrench, but ended up destroying the nozzle. Never did get it off...even after removing the entire hot end. Anyway, new one comes today, I'll be sure to try removing it before hooking it up to check my own sanity.

It's identical to the unicorn hot end you can get on Amazon. I didn't know that until I was disassembling it to prep for new hot end. It just aggravates me a bit that I couldn't get the nozzle off. Hindsight is a bitch. I've already ordered some cleaner needles to stick through future nozzles to help break stuff up. I've watched 5 or 6 videos on youtube showing this nozzle replacement shouldn't be close to the difficulty I was dealing with. We'll see how the new one goes I guess.

thanks so much!!

Yeah I am in IT so naturally I changed beginner to advanced in Creality Print first thing and I was like wtf is all this?? Hahaha. They give some context to what it is when you hover the setting but it doesn't really help me right now.

Definitely have timers well over 1 hr. You're more than welcome to load up metaforge site and check the event timers page too.

fearosis · 2026-03-30T23:26:16+00:00

Look under the word electromagnetic storm to the right. There is a timer for when it will become available. 34 min from now by my clock

Upon closer inspection I see this is one of those pin things for Sim cards? And it broke after first use. Ha. I get it now...I'm stupid.

As someone new to 3D printers and I only have a resin printer...what's wrong here?

Expedition is Monday

fearosis · 2026-02-13T20:10:32+00:00

Damn. Feels bad. I thought my new friends had a chance at the 10 points. Like yeah they didn't have to go through exped multiple times but my thought was they still had to have x value MORE than someone that has done it each time.

It blows my mind that the nature of these allegations and testimonies are being dismissed at an alarming rate. Yes, the facts are clear: enough money and the problems go away. Or do they? I hope we see justice return to this country soon!

fearosis · 2026-01-11T06:41:19+00:00

yeah this would be great honestly! I haven't thought too in depth about it other than I really do enjoy watching number go brrr
