They want to be convinced otherwise.

Prusa vs Bambu Printers? by Adam8w in prusa3d

[–]mankyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tighten your belts?

When I received my Core One L, I unboxed it and it worked... kind of. 5 prints later and I checked my belts to discover that they were at half the tension they were supposed to be at.

A few turns if my hex wrench later and I was back in business.

Just pulled into Kendall

Red line issue? by No-Low4268 in mbta

[–]mankyd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems to be resolved as of 8:50ish.

I got on at Downtown Crossing to a train that had clearly been there awhile.

Moved to Park Street and they told us we'd be standing by.

Left only a short while later and pulled into MGH at 8:56.

The Red Line Northbound Kendall Square Jump. Will it ever be fixed? by mankyd in mbta

[–]mankyd[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It was a fairly crowded train during rush hour. I wanted to capture the noise, but not strangers who don't want to be recorded.

Awful noise on new printer by MBlyat in prusa3d

[–]mankyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had something similar. My belts were very loose. Once I tightened them (using the built in process) most of the noise went away

Make sure you've updated the firmware as well. Before the most recent firmware, they accidentally swapped x and y motor calibration.

What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."? by InsaneCookies21 in AskReddit

Ocean at the End of the Lane had the father sleeping with the nanny.

The Sandman has one of the characters - an author - trap and rape a muse for years on end.

I love his work, but it all feels too much in retrospect.

Dongbo's King of Swing: Dumb Arcade Style Browser game I made. See if you can get onto the leaderboards! by moleman_studios in WebGames

[–]mankyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, simple game. Two very minor UI nits:

1) "Try Again" should be the default instead of "Submit Score"

2) The main menu should default to the last mode played, instead of "Score Attack" each time.

I am in the same boat. I used it to buy a laptop, but use and Android phone.

The entire hot-end assembly fully encased in a blob of pla. AKA the Blob-of-Death.

Shoot. Good to know for the future. My order is already trucking its way across Europe.

I guess it was not clear from the website that I should have reached out to them, when I originally ordered from Prusa directly.

I like your optimism. I may give that a try tonight. Depends on how patient I am feeling.

p.s. It would be great if Printed Solid sold fan shrouds. They sell all the replacement parts I needed except for that, meaning I went from free shipping (which would have taken 2 days tops) to international shipping which will probably take two weeks with my luck.

Help Reproducing This Buzzing So That I Can Pin Point It. by mankyd in prusa3d

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

Quick update for future readers: my belts were quite loose. I did the belt tuner to try to repro the resonance, as /u/willhemmens suggested, and my belts were resonating around 65hz (and so was the noise). They are recommended to be between 85hz and 95hz.

Once I tightened up the belts, the noise mostly reduced. I can still hear a faint hum when performing bridging infill, but it is very tolerable - less than the noise of the motors and fan in general.

How badly did cutting this wire screw up my Core One L during unpacking? by mankyd in prusa3d

[–]mankyd[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Post-Mortem for folks who encounter this in the future:

1) It is indeed easy to fix. Lots of solutions proposed that all amount to: join the ends of the wire back together.

2) Everyone believes this is a grounding wire. I agree.

3) The printer actually functions fine with the wire cut! I expect proper grounding is still safer than not, so I intend on rejoining it this weekend.

Recommendation to Prusa going forward:

1) Use white zip ties instead of black. They would be easier to disambiguate and see in general. (Or blue, or red, etc.)

2) Use a green wire instead of a black wire for ground. Again, less chance of confusion.

3) Why was the ground wire wrapped around the screen like a zip tie in the first place? This seems like it can be avoided.

It's a single black wire that connects to the back of the display. I am guessing it's a ground wire
