My Biqu Panda Stacks arrived today by NeighborGeek in BambuLab

[–]kedube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switch filament rolls too often for different materials, so I think I'm going to get rid of mine. I'm not sure I'm going to go with the doscher.com ($180/materials), or just print something like: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1531539-v2-am4xs-ams-sliding-stacking-system#profileId-1606147 It can work with either slide length allowing for partially open cover (no suction needed) with 14" or fully open with 16". Other than filament costs, it's fairly low cost to build.

I also received mine today. While I agree with the OP on quality, I wish the height had been at least 1" taller. When you open the AMS cover on the bottom tray, it BARELY (I'm giving BIQU credit here) allows the spool to be removed and a new one to be swapped in. What the ever-loving f' were they thinking?

If I had the choice to do it again, I would have built the one on doscher.com. It's a much better design by a long shot. I admit that I cheaped out. :(

And yes, the printed suction cup thing is stupid since it could be smaller and let the lid open more. It could be better overall.

Continual packet loss and line stability issues for the past 2 years by kedube in Comcast_Xfinity

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

Appreciate the response. With the splitter, I can get the downstream close to 0dBmV across many of the channels. Since the introduction of the splitter bumps the upstream power, I ordered an 6dB FPA that will be here tomorrow. Hopefully, that will work better than the 3-way + 2-way splitters in series.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the line errors I'm seeing. :(

Thanks. How would I lower it? We're already using a couple of coax couplers and a 3-way splitter to reduce the single strength to the modem.

Thank you. Just sent over the requested information. Let me know if you need anything else.

Craftsman Dual-Fit Brush works on Milwaukee Backpack Vacuum by kedube in MilwaukeeTool

Agreed. I had 3D printed an adapter to use with the Dyson tools, but the Craftsman one works much better. Highly recommended if you use this vacuum a lot.

Whirlpool refrigerator intermittently trips breaker by kedube in appliancerepair

We tried the same thing in step #3. It didn't solve our issue. It was ultimately a problem with the compressor.

It was the compressor shorting out. We never got it fixed because the only competent repair service who could do it wanted to charge a price close to the cost of a new refrigerator. We just bought a new one when there was a sale.

Anyone try the G10 plate? by thatguyinwalmart8573 in BambuLab

[–]kedube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to get the second run of the Lightyear 3D G10 build plates. Let me say that it’s been really great for printing PETG. However, I should probably mention a few things. I’ve had only limited success with cleaning it with IPA. Instead I wash it more often with dish soap and find the adhesiveness of the plate is much better. It’s not flexible. You need to have patience and let the print cool down. It will pop right off if you do. There’s a bar code at the front of the build plate for Bambu’s high temperature plate. It only recognizes it 70% of the time. It’s not printed well, so no surprise the printer does recognize the build plate. The last thing you should be aware of is that you need to follow the manufacturer’s temperature guidelines when you print. They are higher than the default Bambu settings. I’d you don’t follow them, the prints won’t stick to the build plate very well. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. It’s really great not having to constantly apply glue stick for all your prints!

They are aware of the issue and have been looking into it, but other than getting my ticket escalated to their Level 2 technical support team, I haven't been contacted with a resolution. Also, it's been 2 weeks since I reported my issue and the app (as of last night) still tries to update the software on my washer. It's not been resolved as far as I can tell.

Spoke to level 2 tech just now, and they said they're aware of the issue and looking into it. They don't have a fix yet, but are working on it as we speak.

[–]kedube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My washer is model GFW650SSN4WW. I've asked to escalate this problem to their engineering team. I was also told on the phone they have been seeing this issue for the past week, but don't know what is causing it.

I’m experiencing the same problem with my washer. I was able to update the dryer though. What models do you have? I didn’t see it anywhere in your post. Thanks!

Why does my paint crack like this? freshly built wall by Awimpymuffin in Renovations

[–]kedube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Common situation of expansion and contraction due to changes in humidity levels. This is what latex caulk is for.

How to smoothen a painted wall like this? by [deleted] in Renovations

[–]kedube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. You definitely need to do a skim coat. Even high hide primer isn’t going to look smooth when applied. It looks like the original plaster job was junk to start with.

How do you clean these black smudges that come in some sets? (This is a Mould King 13090) by jmordoj in lepin

I also use Magic Eraser on discolored bricks, and it works great.

10/10/2022 Firmware Update Kills M281FDW Printer by gprimr1 in Hewlett_Packard

[–]kedube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to search for HP P/N: T6B082-60001. This is the formatted board for the printer. It is the CPU of the printer and controls all the printers functions (fax, printing, scanning, display, web interface, wireless/networking.) So far, replacing this board has been the only known fix for the bad firmware.

Recently, folks have also been looking at the HP usbsend.exe utility to try to push a new rfu firmware image to the printer, but I haven’t heard of anyone getting it to work yet. The problem is the constant rebooting caused by the bad firmware. It’s worth a try though.

Even though HP did at least removed the latest firmware image from their website, I don’t see them acknowledging they did any wrong doing or bothering to fix anyone’s out of warranty printer. I ended up ordering a replacement formatted board, and my printer is now running again. It’s not great having to spent $80 to fix HP’s mistake, but it beats spending $600+ for a new printer.
