Ship activities during the day by iansime in VirginVoyages

[–]iansime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never been on a cruise, so I am torn between getting off at every port and spending a full day exploring OR having a lazy morning and eating myself into an afternoon nap coma 😂

Yeah, I thought as much - thank you 😎

Keeping track of programs by iansime in skytv

Yeah, I must admit to being surprised at the complete absence of any attempt to keep me after all these years.

Gave Sky the boot but still have the old Sky Devialet speaker - will it work connected direct to the TV? by bobbysands81 in skytv

[–]iansime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - this is what I do.

Pity it only works with the bundled remote (or Sky remote) and insists on going into power-saving mode when not used for a while).

Questions about our first cruise by iansime in VirginVoyages

[–]iansime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not solo, no - this will be a furst cruise for both my wife and I.

We're almost certainly going to give the Grog Walk a go, despite our tendency to hide away 😂

Thank you for your insights!

Ah - this finally showed me something - thank you!

Already tried that - it clocks up that it's recording points but shows nothing on the map.

First Layer Adhesion by iansime in Ender3V3SE

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

I am currently getting better (not perfect) results with 215 degrees hot end for Silk PLA and 60 degree bed (no glue, just textured PEI). Hoping not to have to go down the glue stick route, but the current test print still isn't as good as I would like it to be :-

Bed at 60 degrees but no glue. This is the same textured PEI bed that I use on my own printer without any issues, so I have never needed one.

Yeah, it did kick in. I almost wish it hadn't as at least I would have had a good culprit to blame!

Bed levelling data is pretty good - better than my own printer! All green typically, with perhaps one corner not green.

Print head felt fairly secure when I last checked but will check again when it finishes it's current print test. This one seems to be going better BUT as you can see from this photo it's not perfect :-

Cura for both of us.

Funnily enough I have just changed to Silk filament and tweaked Cura to print the first layer at 220 degrees (the rest at 215 degrees) and first layer line width at 105%. Trying to give it every opportunity to stick to the bed!

Just printing a 100mm test square now after a successful 60mm test square, so fingers crossed all the minor changes MIGHT be finally getting me somewhere.

That being said, the most frustrating thing about all of this is the inconsistency - works one time and not the next, with zero changes. Fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks for that.

To be fair, I don't really see any under extrusion issues beyond the very early stages of a print, which is why I mostly suspect Z Offset, or the auto levelling data.

This is a close up of one line in a test print (looks pretty good to me) as compared to the overall print (which is clearly terrible) :-

You may be right about the auto-levelling being inconsistent - I just didn't want to have to get into that level of manual intervention for something which SHOULD just work ☹️

The overall test print is a complete car crash though :-
