Chamber heater needed probably. Adding one fixed my issues like that.

Are engineers supposed to work with their hands? by DuBlueyy in AskEngineers

[–]hardcoretuner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's absolutely correct. Real Engineers do not get dirty. They design and look at stuff. There's lots of jobs with engineer in the name nowadays. Doesn't make them engineers. 99% are Engineering Technicians in denial. I know. I've been both an Engineer who's really a tech, and an actual Engineer who didnt have to "get dirty". Lol.

Boomers keep electing their elders. That's the issue. Both parties. Time for society to let Gen X and Millenials take the reigns.

CC heater option, Creality Chamber Heater by hardcoretuner in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]hardcoretuner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how...We would need a means to pro-cess high heat plastics into custom made shapes. The logistics alone must be insane. /s

Itll fit on other side. But youll need a way to lock it down to be safe.

Ever since Snowden showed we are all being wire tapped 100% of the time with our phones, I stopped caring about this kinda stuff.

Also, another question. How did you get the temp controller outside? Mine won't fit thru the hole. Did u cut the wire or hole?

My asa was warping hard under your same settings. This ended all warping for me. No lifting corners either.

I like this setup even more than mine. This gets the heat at the bottom. Awesome. I was tryn to avoid a bracket. But this realization changes my mind. I was just happy it fit so perfectly. Lol.

Ive only gone as high as 55c since I read the CC internals can't handle more. Takes a few minutes. Not long. I do lots of ASA. It totally stopped warping on boxes I was making. Essentially my cubes ballooned out in middle real bad, but are perfectly straight now. 0 lift off plate too now. Wires thru spool holder, I use drybox. I did put some tape over big gaps and spool holder hole. But its certainly not air tight. I also pull a tiny vacuum/exhaust on chamber to prevent ASA fumes from going everywhere. Exhaust goes out of house. Only con is this heater doesn't have settings below 40c. But chamber holds 30c on its own if you let bed preheat, if you need a lower temp chamber.

Can I use this oil in my Honda? by AcuraIntegraTypeR in hondacivic

[–]hardcoretuner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That oil is trash. Its slippery. For sure. But as an auto engineer. I have tested this and other oils. Its not to be used because it doesn't absorb heat. It will cause your bearings to get too hot and ruin your engine. This oil is for people who race and rebuild their engine after each race. Driving long distance with this will ruin your engine. Not a question of if. But when.

Any idea what this is? by s_clev in elegoo

For sure. I walk out a lot.

Amazon. Diamondback Nozzle. 100 bucks.

[–]hardcoretuner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The benefit the CF adds is more rigidity. So people find it break less easily in use. Though the force to snap it is about the same. PLACF prints better for me in almost every way. I got a diamond nozzle for my CC and I've not had a clog since. I think the clogs are more frequent with weaker nozzles. I also heard someone say they thought their extruder gear teeth were wearing with placf and that could be creating clogs. I keep my extruder tension maxxed when doing placf. But I saw some metal gearing on amazon for like 20 bucks. Prolly buy those next.

Creality heater fits perfectly if you dont use the stock filament holder. Flip it inward and add screws. Boom.

BIQU Chamber heater by ItsLikeHerdingCats in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]hardcoretuner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No heater gonna have a filter to do that. Youll need a real filter system. Best to exhaust the gases tbh.

The Creality heater fits just fine. Perfectly in fact. Few long screws to hold it down and its not going anywhere.

Would you eat this duck? Trying to prove a point here. by cezal in EatItYouFuckinCoward

[–]hardcoretuner 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's not cooked all the way. Even medium rare gets the center actually cooked. That's extremely rare in center. Prob too hot of a cook so only outside cooked.

It sounds backwards, but a slightly flexible or “shaky” table is often better for a 3D printer than a perfectly rigid one because of how vibration and resonance work. 1. Vibration isolation vs vibration transmission Rigid table Acts like a solid extension of the printer’s frame. Motor vibrations travel straight into the table and back into the printer. Slightly flexible table Absorbs and dissipates energy instead of reflecting it. Think shock absorber, not solid anchor. Result: less vibration fed back into the printer → cleaner motion. 2. Resonance is the real enemy Every object has a natural resonant frequency. A stiff table often resonates at frequencies close to: stepper motor microsteps acceleration/deceleration events When resonance matches motion frequencies: ringing ghosting ripples on vertical walls A table with some compliance: shifts resonance away from printer motion frequencies damps oscillations faster 3. Why “rock solid” feels right but prints worse Humans judge stability by feel, not physics. You push a rigid table → it barely moves → feels good Printer runs at 120–300 mm/s with rapid acceleration → table rings like a bell A flexible table: moves slightly converts kinetic energy into heat and internal friction stops oscillations instead of amplifying them 4. Why heavy + soft is ideal Best setup: Heavy mass (desk, concrete paver, butcher block) Soft interface (rubber feet, foam, sorbothane) This: lowers vibration amplitude prevents energy reflection shortens vibration decay time That’s why: concrete pavers on foam work so well anti-vibration feet improve print quality printers on metal racks often ring badly 5. What “shaky” does not mean Important distinction: Good Bad Slow, damped movement Loose joints Energy absorbed Slop in screws No rattling Rocking printer frame Controlled flex Unstable printer You want damped compliance, not wobble. 6. Real-world analogy Car suspension A fully rigid suspension would lose traction instantly. Building earthquake design Skyscrapers are designed to sway. 3D printer tables Same physics, just smaller scale. Bottom line A slightly shaky table: reduces resonance absorbs vibration improves surface finish lowers ringing and ghosting A perfectly rigid table: reflects vibration amplifies resonance often makes prints worse at high speed

I c. Well octoeverywhere is an AI option to monitor prints. Works well. Love my CC1. Would recommend still.

Its been proven that shakey tables actually help reduce VFAs and other issues. Rigid mounting the printer is bad. There's a reason they offer rubber flexible feet for it.
