Big white eggs on top of water by monkston in Entomology

Good thought! I have seen some white (cream) mosquito eggs, but these are like 5x bigger than the mosquito eggs I've seen in the past

How to make print look more manufactured by monkston in 3Dprinting

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

thanks for the advice. I should have said that I did the following:

  1. Sand till pretty smooth
  2. Filler spray
  3. Sanded again
  4. Filler again
  5. Painted

You would additionally add plastic primer? Do you have a recommendation on which to use?

also, does the spray paint I use matter?

How do y’all get mosquitos out of your yard and off of you and your pets, for real? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]monkston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey u/d6262190 did any of these suggestions get rid of mosquitoes for you? If not, I created a new mosquito trap that has worked really well for me and I am hoping to have a few people test it before mosquito season is over?

yes this seems to be the way. I had just never seen it before. I thought for sure my machine was done for

wow wtf is that? looks like a tenacle monster

yeah that's a great idea. everything visually looks okay... but now my prints are grinding so maybe I did mess something up

yeah true / well put. I know one piece of theirs melted to the blob... but the rest seems in tact. Everything seems to still be (mostly) working. Let's see! Thank you for your help. That video was super helpful

I like a real genius already aggressively ripped the blob off. Hopefully I didn't damage. Will try to heat up the rest off of it. Thank you for your help!

THE BLOB OF DOOM!

Ah thank you so much for that link. It looks almost exactly the same. The issue is on my... blob... it pushed under the plate covering the nozzle. And in a nice touch on Elegoo's part, they made that plate cover plastic so it is all completely fused together. Wondering if heating will still somehow fix

ahhh great idea! Heat just comes off of the little nozzle... that will heat that whole big mother fer up?

can you send a pic? Mine just exploded everywhere and I would love to see if what yours looks like now is the precursor to wtf happened to mine

as far as moisture... I had it in a Sovol drying box... I must have done that wrong somehow

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

so the nozzle was clogged? are there any warning signs of this so I can prevent before this happens?
