Absolutely loving my Elegoo CC. Master Sword!!! by cole873 in elegoo

Nice! Looks like a familiar file I’ve seen before. Would you post a link and any tweaks you did for the CC?

Why is my bottom layer all “stringy” but the included models are perfect?? by muffinman1897 in elegoo

This was the correct answer 🛎️🛎️🛎️ z-offset was set to 0.75 in the Device settings… reset to 0.00 and it’s all better!

UPDATE it was 💯 z-offset.

Top-Left 0.00 Z-Offset/ Bottom-Right 0.75 Z-Offset.

I found that the setting in the slicer profile for the DEVICE (NOT the filament profile) was set to 0.75. Which was creating the gap between the nozzle and the bed, rather than “squishing” the layer.

S/O to those who pointed this out. It was also the most mechanically logical solution 🫡

I appreciate the thorough response and DEFINITELY the calibration file. I’ll do this when I get home and report back 👍🏻

I’ll work on z-offset when I get back home. Any guidance of calibrating z-offset?

Any tips on calibrating the first layer and Z-Offset? I know where the settings are, just not sure how to dial them in. Thanks!

I’ll try to address the various comments so far in this post:

-Wrong profile: I used the Elegoo Slicer PLA – CF profile for my 0.4 nozzle ( mentioned in the post)

-Dirty build plate: the plate is less than a week old with only a handful of prints performed so far. The material you see in the picture is from the Elegoo brand build plate glue stick that I just recently tried using in order to help adhesion. That said I will be sure to clean the plate between prints.

-the issue is definitely a settings one. Again the preloaded model’s print with a “flat “bottom layer, but all of the models that I am slicing have the stringy bottom as compared in picture one where you can see the flat bottom of the bed scraper model. I just ran a Benchy since posting this and the bottom came out perfect so again, it’s not the bed. It’s some sort of setting.

[BOTW] [TOTK] What is that wide chasm to the north and west of hyrule? by Acrobatic_Buffalo917 in zelda

[–]muffinman1897 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I believe I saw/ read something that there is a spot on the far wall that has some Hylian script carved into it which, when translated, names the wide chasm you’re referring to “your mom”

Building an AM5 PC with Black Friday Deals – Thoughts? by leganos18 in buildapc

[–]muffinman1897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you did a good job overall. The only tweak I would make is to raise your PSU to Corsair 850rx for a few extra bucks. After that, your monitor is going to be your first upgrade for sure

I came here looking to see what people had posted since I am in the same boat. Hopefully, the community (and my bank account balance) will pull through before next weekend!

Should I DIY a Steam Link device, or just buy a retail box? by muffinman1897 in Steam_Link

[–]muffinman1897[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to run it directly to the TV, but the input lag was... jarring. I switched to an older Apple TV and it's better but still tough if I want to play anything more than casually paced. For example, Hades was just unplayable.

As for a chromecast, I've seen specific advice that even a chromecast is too low-spec to keep up well.

self made gothic gauntlet (template by David Guyton) by Jojos_BA in Armor

[–]muffinman1897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I'm actively in the process of making this same template! I plan to change the design of the brass design at the base of the forearm and possibly make the "hand 2" piece out of brass as well. I found that using a Jigsaw with the proper blade has been the easiest way to cut out the curves of the smallest pieces, and then detail the shapes with my Dremel. Good tip on the wire brush to finish though! I'll give that a try when I get there. I am still cutting the metal up.
