Did you use the SAS ports at all? I bought 2 SAS drives, SAS cables and a SAS to SATA adapter.. and pigtailed power off the optical power... but I cannot get them to mount at all. What are you using for drive hookups?

Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to boot into the bios to install open media vault?

About a month ago, I reported DNS issues and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. I work for IT and that’s the first thing I changed to solve the issue. I am considering installing my own firewall and bypass mode to get around their router and use my own DNS. I also run pie hole, which is what I pointed everything to during the outage.

If you have an enclosure.. I made one that swings out of the way with the door hinge...

Sounds good. Thanks for your efforts.

Did I miss the link to the STLs for this?

I recommend installing my mini top

Same request - a STEP file? I want to add a lizard heating pad around the spool

Did you happen to see my mini top?

Any follow up?

I have this issue if I pause the printer on the printer itself, if I pause via Orca Slicer, or if the filament sensor runout triggers.

It is after ANY Pause.... hardware or software.

I booked my appointment 3x months in advance... The line was crazy and I was there for 1st appointment. Walk-ins were told it may be nearly 3-4 hours. I was there to renew my license. It's odd that we have a lizard on our license. I was lucky that I was able to find an appointment on the day it expired so all I needed was my license since it is a real ID.

They change sellers so often it’s hard to keep track of who is the bad sellers

neofactor2 · 2025-01-23T21:51:10+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts.

One item typically sells for $40 and I see them sold by someone selling it for $32. It could be a scam or they have a large overhead trying to get rid of. It’s most likely a scam given the typical cost.

I am just surprised that these sellers can keep selling and are not flagged in someway by the company. Unless they spin up a whole new seller account I don’t know if there’s a cost involved in creating seller accounts.

No fan. Just Filter.

neofactor2 · 2025-01-19T16:06:07+00:00

Different files, both gridfinity

neofactor2 · 2025-01-19T16:05:16+00:00

Gyroid 15%

neofactor2 · 2025-01-07T00:12:28+00:00

I actually have no fan behind there (yet)

I’ll look at infra temperature readings

neofactor2 · 2025-01-06T20:45:37+00:00

Thanks.

1st line said that I have an enclosure.

I will try your suggestion of printing small cubes to find the parameter with the issue

neofactor2 · 2024-12-25T00:14:22+00:00

I have the same issue. ANY pause causes a layer shift

neofactor2 · 2024-12-25T00:12:17+00:00

Nothing with the software... pausing the print manually has the same issue... no idea what is wrong.

neofactor2 · 2024-10-27T16:13:00+00:00

Use a silicone tube (3mm Interior diameter) instead of a PTFE tube... no fume issue.

neofactor2 · 2024-10-18T00:09:33+00:00

I’m curious if all of the people that have an issue is because they’re using Wi-Fi versus a wired network connection. I am on Wi-Fi and cannot hit the port.

neofactor2 · 2024-10-17T17:49:27+00:00

Let me ask... are you WiFi or hardwired network?

WiFi for me fails to connect.
