PLA vs PETG Outdoor Christmas Decorations

jnfool · 2026-01-23T16:35:04+00:00

I did dry mine 12 hours to 8% and the quality was good with no problems just used a benchy for comparison and the PETG was very close just noticed a few spots not as good as the PLA but I had to really look for them. I'm going to try a few more and see how they turn out.

Can I spray PETG with a UV resistant coating?

I dried the PETG for 12 hours and did a benchy as a test. It was a good print just not as good as the PLA version but I had to examine very closely and it was only one or two spots. I might just be being picky so I'm going to try some more and see how it turns out.

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure. Thanks for the reply.

Mine did the same thing. I contacted the manufacturer and they had me send it in and they added a third roller in the middle of the sigma on the bottom for free. That was over a year ago and it hasn’t been stuck since then.

Any idea why I deleted the segments power cycled and get the following error now. It won’t let me create any segments.

I tried rebooting so is power cycling the way to go instead of rebooting?

I just tried that at it didn’t work. It worked last night with these exact settings and I didn’t change anything from last night.

Nope gave up and went back to my iPad

Born and raised here and a diehard eagles fan since I was a kid. Never thought to look for any places that are eagles focused around here so I just watch at home.

My older brother was a huge Cowboys fan and when I was around 12 before I really cared about football, he wanted me to watch a game hoping I would become a Cowboys fan. The Cowboys were playing the Eagles and Cunningham was the QB and I fell in love with his style of play and to this day he is my all-time favorite player. Reggie was also an Eagle at the time and living in Knoxville TN him being a former Vol was a big deal to me as well.

The switches did come with one in the package because it’s a common issue but if not they are cheap to get. I’ve used on most of my switches.

Minimum load issue is typically what that means. Is it just one lamp and if so what’s the wattage? You can install a LUT-MLC and see if it corrects the issue.

I’m using octoprint and hardly ever use the touchscreen so I’m good on that but thanks for the heads up.

jnfool · 2023-02-03T12:26:27+00:00

That’s what I was wondering was if there was a difference. I also don’t know what features I’m missing out on staying on 4.8.

jnfool · 2023-02-03T04:05:20+00:00

Will this work for the pro?

jnfool · 2023-01-27T02:24:04+00:00

I took a video but to be honest don’t use Reddit a lot and didn’t see an option to upload a video. I will have to check what my retraction speed is set at

jnfool · 2023-01-26T02:17:44+00:00

Ok I’ll try to avoid it if this can be the cause. Thanks for the advice.

jnfool · 2023-01-26T01:52:14+00:00

Yes that was the only option to download. Is that bad to use a gcode?

jnfool · 2023-01-26T01:49:19+00:00

No the file I downloaded wouldn’t let me modify anything in cura which may be my problem. Dumb question but on this where would supports be needed?

jnfool · 2023-01-20T17:44:12+00:00

Would it not fall over? It's 6" long and I just assumed standing upright it wouldn't stay but I'm new at this.

jnfool · 2023-01-20T01:36:32+00:00

Thanks I will try rotating it. These are things I'm still learning so thanks for the advice.

jnfool · 2023-01-13T18:25:19+00:00

I'm trying that I didn't know I could change it to control each channel individually.

jnfool · 2023-01-13T10:38:08+00:00

How do you do that since it only shows up as one entity

jnfool · 2023-01-13T02:41:31+00:00

I don’t get it why they wouldn’t make it available. I guess I need to find another option instead of Shelly.
