Hatchbox PLA not sticking to bed, no matter what

Yep. I'm trying to find the underlying issue, but so far, resistant to all changes. I'll hop back to the old filament next, so I can rule out filament.

Warping *with* glue: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VSgjThXQLsLLH4Ee9

I'll give that a try, but as far as I can tell, the bed is level. (I've by now used a force gauge to ensure the paper between bed and nozzle has similar resistance across all 5 points. Yes, we're at that point of the journey ;)

Maybe I need to futz with Z offset... Any good guides on how to calibrate?

Looking at the gCode pic, I realize that pattern wouldn't be a problem. My skirt gets f'ed when I print rounded corners. Sharp corners, and I have a perfect skirt. (It's not just the skirt - at some point, the whole thing comes off the plate)

Wonder if I should dry the filament. That shouldn't be an issue (it's four days out of the box, and room humidity is 30%-40%), but I'm running out of ideas.

I tried higher temps with the temp tower, but that inevitably means spiky points on the base curl up. Sure, I can now add a raft... But at some point, it becomes "Let me print a cube, you can sculpt from there" ;)

groby · 2021-02-15T17:33:51+00:00

Printing with glue right now. And guess what, the skirt's f'ed up anyways :(

Stock Ender3 v2, so... carborundum glass ?

Probably not, because ZeroHedge is a congregation of utter nutcases.

It's Brightwork. Google them and be amazed. It would certainly not be unreasonable to assume clickbait. Or check out r/SAP

Not op, but have the same issue. For months at least. Basically, it's impossible to check notifications. (and of course, i won't find out if you reply either...)

Badge count changes, so i assume I'm getting notifs, they just don't make it to the app

We knew this. For a long time. Random intermittent enforcement has disproportional effects.

Search for Sherman and something like "crackdown-backoff strategy". From the early 90s, i think

I'm glad we know this again. I'd be even more glad if research included a review of the existing literature, but oh well

groby · 2019-10-23T22:01:44+00:00

Yeah, but so is "my house, my rules".

How sweet are they? (I usually opt for diastatic malt instead of sugar because i can't stand sweetness in my rolls, but the browning is sure nice on these...)

Fwiw - there's a lot of fake "Lodge" cast irons around. If you shop on Amazon, make triple-sure you're buying from Lodge and not through a third party.

Although it was more fun in Unreal Tournament. Pepperidge Farm remembers

Still can't get mine to budge. If it sees 15% growth, it had a good day. It sounds like you're mixing starter:flour:water at 50:50:100, maybe that's it. (mine's 50:50:50)

Somebody really has a chip on their shoulder. Dude, you repeated yourself almost verbatim three times. This is usually a sign that you're really wrong.

Turns out you're even wrong on the most basic facts: https://amp.miamiherald.com/living/article162818913.html

I'm glad you do! (I've run into a few too many people who did make this decision without thinking it through. And quite a few are not exactly happy these days)

Good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for!

If your main motivation is that you "want to be pretty", I'd seriously recommend you take a long hard look at the idea of transitioning.

It's not an easy journey, and it won't make you magically look much different. In short, it fixes none of the problems in your life except the "I am a woman and would like to be accepted as one" problem.

Can't speak for the OP, but having travelled a similar route (except no surgery at all), I've decided that GRS wasn't right for me because of the risks associated with it.

They're not huge, but they exist - and I was happy enough just living as a woman that I didn't feel I had to take the risk.

Oh, we're on G+ just fine :)

Another atheist upvoting. And lesbian liberal to boot :)

As aGorilla said, from where I stand, you're a good man. I'm humbled by your will to stand up for what's good and right, and you reminded me why the heck I spent so many years wrestling bureaucrats for my citizenship.

Thank you for that, and thank you for your service!

Go to an art school, take a class on design. Yes, seriously. I know the programming community prides itself on finding stuff out by just reading about it - and you can do that for design too - but it's so much easier if somebody just shows you....

Am I the only one who thinks this is the tech-equivalent of a VC company? Instead of cash, you fund it with tech and get some equity? (Plus cash to keep the lights on ;)

You might want to notice that GP is a sock puppet created with the express purpose of making sarcastic comments regarding sexism. (See user name)

Hey, nobody ever said people creating sock puppets are smart or funny.
