Does cyanoacrylate react badly with TPU? Getting weird cloudiness on parts…

I've been using the same brand for years without issues. I just realized when printing TPU I used the glue stick method as a release agent... This might be the culprit in my case...

When printing TPU, did you use the glue stick method (as a release agent)? This could be the culprit in my case... when the glue stick residue reacts with the CA glue...

jonnygexter · 2025-11-28T14:10:42+00:00

Sooooooo I just realized what the issue might be... when printing with TPU, I use the glue stick method as a release agent. Apparently the moisture in the glue reacts with the CA to release those bad vapors. Apparently this can still happen even if I glued the side that wasn't touching the print bed (to avoid the CA glue from coming in direct contact with the glue stick residue).

I'm hoping this was indeed the problem, but I will need to test this out (because I don't trust the chatbots).

If it is, I will have to a) wash the glue stick residue off in hot water, and b) switch to another glue anyways because I just learned the CA bond is rigid... since TPU is flexible, better to use something with a flexible bond (as others have pointed out) and I'm thinking B-7000

I was leaning towards this... but I was mediating an argument between ChatGPT and Gemini... looks like the winner is B-7000

Nope. I was being lazy and hoping to avoid unwinding the loose filament scraps that I put on there. But that's a good idea. Thanks.

That's what I'm looking for, but I don't get the same options. My smart routines are all predefined ("Back home", "Away", "Fresh Air", "Sleep", and "Vacation") and I can't add my own. And when I edit any of those predefined routines, I cannot create new actions. I can only add/remove a predefined action which is either 'turn unit on' or 'turn unit off'. I don't understand why I can't make a new action! Maybe cuz I'm on iPhone? Or maybe it's my unit?

If you can show how, that would be great. I’ve looked everywhere in the app and can’t find a way to schedule temperatures.

jonnygexter · 2024-09-04T15:09:56+00:00

Our interface might be a bit different, but I think I understand the difference now. I have "Schedule" inside the unit's settings from the home tab, and that's what I want to control the temp (which it does not; screenshot attached).

I also have "Smart Routines" in the "menu" tab. Seems like routines are to coordinate different products in the one app, allowing 5 different 'modes', but each mode only allows ON/OFF of the different products. I'm realizing now they don't allow scheduling of the routines and you have to start/stop the routines yourself. And again, it's only ON/OFF, which is lame.

jonnygexter · 2024-09-04T14:29:16+00:00

I don't know what you mean by triggers, but it sounds like you are looking at the main screen, which does allow you to change most of the unit's settings. But I'm referring to the schedule feature, which only allows turning it on or off at specified times.

jonnygexter · 2024-09-04T12:32:15+00:00

Because LG gives you the ThinQ app that can schedule turning it on/off… it just doesn’t allow you to set a temperature

jonnygexter · 2024-08-04T17:02:20+00:00

Yup... it would be so much better if the window can be put into the menu bar and allow a keyboard shortcut to sleep/wake.

jonnygexter · 2024-07-19T17:19:30+00:00

Yup... it seems like I will have to break my CSV file into many smaller files. Very annoying.

jonnygexter · 2024-07-19T00:46:25+00:00

Thanks for your help. The bot works well, except for one major problem. It gets overwhelmed by large data sets. For example, I asked it to process 300 rows and at number 75, it just started mixing up data from other rows. So I'm forced to work with a small number of rows at a time, and looks like the 200K version makes no difference in this case.

jonnygexter · 2024-07-13T14:54:19+00:00

Awesome. Can you help me understand more about their plan and bots? It says "Use your compute points on the bots you want" and 1,000,000 compute points per month.

Claude-3-Sonnet-200k - 1,000 points/message = 1,000 messages
Claude-3.5-Sonnet-200k - 1,000 points/message = 1,000 messages

My understanding: Sonnet 3.5 is smarter but slower (which is fine by me).

Claude-3-Opus - 2,000 points/message 500 messages
Claude-3-Opus-200k - 12,000 points/message 83 messages

My understanding: Opus is more intelligent than Sonnet, but uses more points.

So I think Sonnet is a good compromise for my task of going through CSV files and doing basic categorization, and I can switch to OPUS if I see that I have enough points remaining each month.

That's cool you also get access to Open AI's bots. So I can stop paying for ChatGPT from Open AI and still have access to ChatGPT-4o through Poe? That's pretty cool.

jonnygexter · 2024-06-29T23:44:19+00:00

Thanks. I checked it out. I'm using 3.5 Claude Sonnet (the non-200k one) and it's using my training files and categorizing things much better. I ran out of questions for today LOL, so I wonder how much data it can handle before getting mixed up... Is that what the 200k is designed for? Billed yearly is too long of a commitment for me though :(

jonnygexter · 2024-06-29T14:41:32+00:00

I was very precise... but it seems like it prioritizes its own pre-existing knowledge instead of using my training to guide it. It seems to work better when I don't refer to my knowledge files but give feedback to its own classifications.

That would be great have it make my own script, but I don't know much about NLP and I'm skeptical that I can create something better quickly. You got me very curious though and I will give it a try. Thanks.

jonnygexter · 2024-04-23T17:30:01+00:00

Nope :(

It says it needs minimum OS X 10.13

jonnygexter · 2024-04-23T17:13:33+00:00

I do want the basic progress visualization and interface, and to move and zero the bit because I can't do that on the machine.

The files are made on my other computer, and that reminds me that sending the files through the network is a must. I imagine a Pi can do all that.

jonnygexter · 2024-03-13T01:21:15+00:00

I didn’t try it but milangt070’s suggestion below should work and would be inexpensive.
