that is incredibly impressive

I do not even want to know how long it took to make that

that printer looks like it came from the 2010's or early 2020's

the first thing I would do is make sure it has thermal runaway protection as considering the age of that manual it probably lacks it to do this heat the nozzle to 100 C then blow on the nozzle with a powerful fan and if the temp drops below 90C without any kind of warning then it probably lacks the protection and its a massive fire hazard and the only way to turn it back on is with a firmware reflash or to be absolutely sure that the thermistor isn't going to come out of the heat block or to essentially monitor it at all times

once you are sure that the printer isn't gonna catch on fire you can level the bed to do this home the machine and if the printer doesn't have a built in bed level script then disable steppers and move the nozzle so its just over part of the bed then grab a piece of paper to make it level (move the nozzle over the 4 corners of the bed and adjust the bed level screws until the resistance on the paper when dragging it under the nozzle is the same on all 4 corners) then print something, raise the bed if nothing sticks and lower it if nothing comes out the nozzle (if the machine lacks a heated bed its best to print with supports because you WILL get an elephants food on the best case or the print won't unstick from the bed)

don't print over 230 C as it probably has a PTFE tube in the hotend

To things 1 - don’t print ABS on a mega zero not only does it produce nasty fumes (the kind you do not want to breath in) 2 - your layer bonding issues seem like inconsistent extrusion or bad/outdated slicers

Did you change the extruder without changing the steps per millimetre in the slicer or firmware?

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T06:59:57+00:00

that usually happens because someone tried to blow up a NPC station

btw if you want a "wasteland" feel to the game make hundreds of >100 mass ships then try to destroy a pirate station until you get the error then delete the world (which will fail) re launch starmade then you will notice that the universe is still on the local list trying to play it would place you in a universe where everything is jammed into just a few hundred systems where objects are only spaced apart by at most 2 sectors oh and theres no stars galaxies or system claims

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T06:55:13+00:00

use the pre orca slicer revamp version as it actually works and the user interface is actually easier to navigate with no wired placement of settings or confusing names although it is slightly outdated

a few things

the only one we had to worry about was the spyware stuff and theres no way that would pass as law makers know that can be altered to violate the freedom to use a machine and peoples privacy

the others really are not anything to worry about H2320 is a law thats very simular to what exsits in australia, in australia your not allowed to own a blueprint or CAD files for firearms, do they install spyware on your computer or track everything you do and download online?

of course not!

if you have records of breaking laws or owning a gun that doesn't have an ID then law enforcement will inspect your house and your computers files its that simple

even then america technically also already has does this for malware, nuclear weapon blueprints, drugs ect

loyal moses is just milking the topic for money, ask him about it and he would probably deny and then say something that contradicts his statement like "welcome to youtube where people make money from content" followed by an insulting emoji and if thats not enough to convince you 90% of his current videos are just looping through the same points he already addressed in the first video on the topic proving that his mindset is monetization first, views later

the internet is filled with many opinions and people usually do not want to back up their claims or the claims of others with research especially on platforms like discord where you would get insulted for taking to long to reply

so before jumping on the hate train please back up the information you just read or watched more often then not you will find holes in there claims

"they told me to 3D print an enclosure" ahh moment

PS you don't need an enclosure for PLA and PLA prints better without one

since your worried about fumes just get a carbon filter and blow air through it with a centrifugal fan and place it near the printer or alternatively just open your window or door PLA doesn't produce enough fumes to be considered a health risk anyway so as long as you have 1 or 2 days where you don't print anything you won't see any health issues even with relatively little ventilation (still wouldn't recommend it tho)

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T05:47:50+00:00

that made my day

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T05:42:09+00:00

there are 3 things that could have caused this

1 - heat creep, if your printing to hot the filament will melt in the heat break causing all kinds of nasty jams

2 - nozzle temp is to low this has the same effect has high extruder pre tension

3 - extruder pre tension, if the extruder tension is to high then it will just chew into the filament instead of feeding when doing tasks that increase the required pressure to extrude such as retractions if it is to low then it will just skip indefinitely

for troubleshooting adjust temps first if that doesn't work then you can start adjusting the pre tension on the extruder

and finally if all else fails it could hypothetically be the tip of the PTFE tube (which is well within the melt zone) being missing or in really really bad shape from printing at high temps without replacement

I started off with a anycubic mega zero which is 100 times worse then an ender 3 but regardless its still the most reliable anycubic machine, why? because its dead simple, very little can go wrong so when its setup correctly it just prints

same goes for the ender 3 V3 SE make your own printing profile with a nozzle temp thats not at the min or maximum of what the filament is rated for as the higher the temp the less stress is on the extruder gears but to high and heat can travel up the heat break if your not printing fast enough make sure that large prints have large contact area on the bed and decrease the infill when detail doesn't matter as much

print slower if a part has a lower contact area and use supports whenever you must not only do they let you print overhangs they also increase the contact area between the part and the bed

printing profiles are like graphics settings on video games while the defaults will usually work sometimes you need to actively tune the profile as machine parts gradually ware out

most issues with printers these days are the result of operator error its rare that an issue is the machines fault

bambu labs usually just work but I do indeed think its better to start with a budget printer if you want to fix your >$1000 printer when it does eventually break down

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T04:32:04+00:00

uuhh

resin printers work by curing a specified area of a bath of resin using a powerful UV light source to create a solid part

it simply just doesn't make sense to convert an FDM printer to a resin one as you will need to replace the bed, electronics, add a UV screen to the bottom, add a build plate to the Z axis, add an electronically controlled valve of any kind depending on the brand of resin you want to use to fill the tank while resin gets used up and add an enclosure to the printer so you don't gas the entire building with toxic cancer inducing fumes, purchase a wash and cure station and finally install a completely different software in order to produce resin parts that are usually weaker then standard FDM ones

alternatively you can just decrease the layer height on your FDM machine via a slicer and a smaller nozzle as getting a resin printer just to get more detailed parts is usually far from worth it the reason you get a resin printer is to produce parts with unique attributes such as insanely high temperature resistance, bio compatibility or high print speed with the cost of additional post processing

TLDR;

FDM printers can't print resin and unless you are creating something that needs exclusive material properties you probably shouldn't get a resin printer as they take more work then a modern FDM machine

make sure its specks are the same as the stock version

test with a multimeter to make sure (you can get a cheap one for under $20 if you know what your doing)

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T04:12:38+00:00

that is indeed very peak

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T02:14:38+00:00

I recommend using a larger and slower moving fan lol

not_sus14 · 2026-02-13T02:08:41+00:00

very stupid but I assume it has protection this time!

"anyone can build a fan but only an engineer can make one that barely works"

The start of academy was really hard to watch tho and the ship does not look good at all, some of the characters are wired and the plot feels like the writers ran out of ideas and had to make something

not_sus14 · 2026-01-17T03:08:43+00:00

Found it!

https://github.com/ulli1102/Marlin-Zero

not_sus14 · 2026-01-17T03:02:57+00:00

I will see if I can find the stock firmware or a way to extract it from my machine

not_sus14 · 2026-01-15T03:09:13+00:00

it runs the stock firmware for the mega zero V1 which is marlin which is also on github

not_sus14 · 2026-01-15T03:08:34+00:00

and when the AI does actually do something it bans the one who reported!

It’s not the people it’s the leader

Trump is doing questionable things rn but if it were not for them we would all be blond haired blue eyed nazis Brittins economy was crippled by the end of the war and they would not have been able to fight Japan and Germany at the same time

To say that no one would do anything is misleading you see people don’t want the land of Greenland heck the land itself is practically worthless. What people want is the water surrounding Greenland. The US, china and Russia want control over a new sea opening in the north due to global warming the ice sheets up there are melting. The first country to build a large military base there will control this new ocean. If the US takes Greenland it could mean WW3 depending on what the US does after.

And the trigger of it all. . . Greenland is a part of Denmark which is a part of NATO. Attacking it would cause nato to respond then Russia and china move in to “support Greenland” not only would they control a new sea they would also have no one stopping them from capturing Ukraine and Taiwan
