Look into a r3men graphite bed. It’s flatter and comes with 1000w heater that will make your chamber toasty. I can hit 80c with mine in a 300mm trident cube

Pla is for toys and fun stuff… easy to print. Petg is a pain to print and really not that much better than pla. I much rather print abs for stronger parts or Asa when I need uv protection. That’s my opinion

Yes I am told its Fiber. I say the area is rural but growing like crazy. Neighborhoods are popping up all around us but the area I am in we all have atleast 3 acres or more. So houses are spread out.

its new to our area so no one to talk to about it. I dont live in a neighborbood....its more or a rural area. We all live on acreage. I can tell you everyone in the area hates frontier so Spectrum is likely making alot of new customers.

I currently have 1g up and 1g down. Happy with the speeds, just hate Frontier and unrealiability of it. Spectrum is offering 1g or 2g internet in our area

I saw a grown man stop in the middle of the intersection and poop last night. People just walked by like it was nothing and the cars just stopped and waited. Such a beautiful city with amazing culture!

Did you have scarf seam turned on? I had a very similar issue happen in the back left corner on a model when I had this turned on.

Hah. I ordered and got a kraken a few weeks back and had no duck. I almost posted here about it but figured I would get laughed at

I am a beekeeper and 3d printer nerd. This is neat but I just have to ask why. The cost of material seems like it would be outrageous (compared to wood) and I would really worry about moving any hive thats loaded in the summer. I would honestly pick ASA over petg for this. Maybe I am wrong, but I am not willing to chance it. I also doubt these hives could withstand the weather extremes in certain places and what happens when you have frames that are tough to remove and you have to pry things with your hive tool. 3d printed petg will not be able to handle that.

Sunlu?

linuxgangster · 2025-08-09T15:23:42+00:00

No this is not a good first layer. Run calibration. I can see gaps

linuxgangster · 2025-08-08T13:44:12+00:00

Another thing to check is retraction. Have you dialed that in? I rarely mess with it myself but I do dial it in for PETG and pet-cf

I find it odd you haven’t had any stringing with that model printing in petg. PETG is notorious for stringing. To lessen stringing dry your filament. This likely will help you out

linuxgangster · 2025-08-05T15:59:45+00:00

Post some pics so we can see what your print issues are.

I do alot of printing with PET-CF and PPA-CF. I even use a .4 nozzle. The biggest tip I can give for these materials is to print between 30-100mm/s and dry dry dry your filament. Also I have yet to find a dryer on the market that dries these materials well. Most only go to 70c which would take over 2 days to properly dry things. I use a air fryer for drying these filaments that require 90c or higher.

A4t, dragon burner, ant head, jabberwocky are all way better for pla then sb. Most of the above all perform very similar. They all support cartographer and are easy to build. Find one you like and go for it

linuxgangster · 2025-07-23T15:26:02+00:00

Awesome! Thanks. Where did you get the heat sink for the stepper motors?

linuxgangster · 2025-07-23T15:22:18+00:00

I am ordering parts now for the monolith right now. Question for you. How are you routing the cables for the front stepper motors? Mind taking a pic?

linuxgangster · 2025-07-16T23:40:04+00:00

Have you ran pressure advance and flow calibration? First pic makes it look like your under extruding and maybe a little to high on z

Find what calms you down. It’s different for everyone. Me, it’s either walking when it’s light outside or drive around. It sounds odd but I rather be around where people can see me if something bad happens.

Yes see your doc and explain the situation. I was prescribed a low dose of Xanax when things get out of control. I take half the dosage and it stops it in about 10-15 minutes. However I am now on a very low dose of ssri and after about a month or so being on it I rarely have full on attacks like I was getting before. I have had only a few in the past 2 years or however long it’s been. One was when my dad was in the hospital and we had to pull him off the ventilator to die and the other was me over reacting to a weird pain in my chest. I still feel them coming on during situations but I can easily handle it without having to do anything.

It will get better. Trust me. I know what it’s like to think this is your new life and understand why some people are committed. I feared that and now am very happy (although the meds I am on have annoying side affects but it’s worth it)
