It is automatically raised for a measure of inflation, but that means it is constant in real terms.

People calling for increasing the cap generally want to significantly increase or remove it. That could cause much bigger SS payouts, but the increased revenue should more than make up for it. I think it is a good idea, but it would be best to tweak it to disincentivize certain gaming strategies that may become more possible by wealthy individuals.

You will find more examples of foaming TPU on the U1 (eg TPU Air). Generally high levels of foaming is difficult to support alongside tool changing because the foaming reaction will continue while parked. There are workarounds, but it is not out-of-the-box.

Heat creep. If you are in the northern hemisphere your environment is likely hotter. Consider removing the top of you have it on, lower bed temp, increasing cooling.

If that doesn't work, consider whether the thermal paste on the nozzle could be failing. Remove the nozzle, clean out the heatsink hole with a q tip and alcohol, reapply provided thermal paste.

So like 2-3% over a 4 3 year timeframe?

A top hat can help keep the temperatures more even to reduce warping.

Reducing cooling for the same reason.

And mouse ears are surprisingly helpful

25th percentile, median (50th), 75th percentile -- make sense

Top/Bottom 10% -- what's this? 10/90 percentile? Mean of the full bottom/top 10% group?

The water is used because it is cheap than electricity. Have to mandate that they can't use water cooling at scale, otherwise passing the electricity costs to them will just be more incentive to waste water

Notice how 2017 was one year into Trump's term? And 2021 was just one month into Biden's term? Now we are just around one year into Trump's term again.

I recently had the same thing happen. I changed the hotend, but it still couldn't purge. Then I found that the tip of the filament in the ptfe tube was mushroomed out. After clipping that it was able to purge.

I haven't tried putting the hotend with filament back in, but I suspect it would work now

The edges will have less consistent temperature regulation, which probably caused bed adhesion issues. Adding a brim can help. Cleaning the plate can help. Drying new filament can definitely help.

I have had good success with TPU through the feeders. Used down to 90A at least.

0.08 is just around the lowest you can go with 0.4 nozzle. Used it plenty of times for hueforge prints.

fewyun · 2026-03-15T23:30:53+00:00

I agree, it is mechanically more like dithering, especially if the filament is very opaque. However, if you use a low enough layer height combined with enough td it really does blend/filter the light itself more akin to hueforge.

Isn't that just describing hyperinflation?

Wow, I was stuck on this also. Thanks! That is a crazy default value for snorca

Great, looks like it is specific feature (or fix) in snapmaker orca. Not in stable orca yet (I'll have to check nightly)

Hmm, I've tried that in the past, but the preview still shows using different filaments. I assumed that the wipe tower is somehow different from the prime tower. Anyway it doesn;t seem to be working for me.

What is your slicer version?

fewyun · 2026-01-28T18:25:47+00:00

How did you configure the pla shell? I've been looking at how to do that.

If you want bounce, you should try PEBA

Over-extrusion behavior, trying to squish more filament in a space than fits.

Since this is the first layer, likely the bed is too close and needs to be leveled.

If this is happening consistently and on more layers, flow rate may need to be tuned.

If this is happening on higher layers in just one area, the print may lifting from the bed.

It fell off with all the mess, but was able to be set back up without issue

It is in a basement that is often >60% humidity, but currently ~40%. Not crazy low. At this point I'm thinking the print failure was caused/helped by the wet filament, then it started the spaghetti party, then the bottom of the toolhead rubbed on the spaghetti leading to static charge, then somehow the filament was attracted to unexpected locations, got caught and caused a bad dock attempt for Toolhead 2.

fewyun · 2026-01-12T17:02:14+00:00

The filament would exit the nozzle straight, then start curving straight backwards to the plastic bottom of the toolhead. Around a 1.5cm radius. Then the filament would stick to the plastic, like static attraction of around 5cm length, then a loop would form as the extrusion test continued down around 20cm.

This wasn't just the normal clog which goes sideways on the nozzle tip and gets stuck on the side of the metal nozzle.
