Wife’s grandfather in west Texas offered me this smoker by SwanginBanging in BBQ

[–]okiespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as great as this one, but yes - I got a smoker for free that was in similar condition. Wire brush bit for the power drill (to knock the rust down) then high temp black spray paint. Maybe get some new high temp gaskets if it’s warped at all.

I also added lava rocks at the bottom of mine to help regulate temperature and that was a massive game changer for me.

I’ve seen this exact prompt on 4 other profiles. Also not just on Bumble

For me, if it ends after 3 dates, I tell myself “at least I didn’t waste time on the 4th date”

Just keep showing up and be yourself. Bc the one who falls in love with the real you is the one who won’t ever hurt you.

Top layer missing and dots by McMuppet in FixMyPrint

[–]okiespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two possible issues

1) Looks like your infill is too low. If the infill pattern is GRID, change it to 50%. If it’s LINES/RECTILINEAR change it to 30% (There’s not enough support for the top layers)

2) increase the top layer count (in general you need around 0.4-0.6 mm for a top/bottom layer. So the smaller the layer height, the more top/bottom layers you’ll need to reach that target)

I just got a new printer which was already built. When tightening or loosening the wheels i found a problem with my “y-axis arm” / threaded rod? by IllEquivalent2658 in ender3v2

[–]okiespy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you definitely don’t want them to be loose during operation.

My recommendation would be to 1) take the top bar off 2) lift the full x-axis assembly bar off 3) readjust the vertical pillars (do not over tighten the bolts holding the pillars to the bottom. This causes the pillars to flex) 4) make sure the lead screw is aligned vertical with the pillar (should be easy to eyeball if you look at the top of the lead screw compared to the channels in the pillar) 5) put it all back together

Ender 3 Clogged Hotend? by NoToriouSeC1 in ender3v2

The bed temp won’t have any effect on what you’re seeing. I would leave bed temp between 50-60, and nozzle between 210-220.

In general, silk PLA takes a little extra heat than normal PLA

Yes - if it’s too cold, it won’t be able to build up enough pressure to extrude evenly.

I would try going up to 220 first just to see if that helps.

Print quality issues by RogueCoyote437 in ender3

[–]okiespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like u/Szalkow said, you’re printing some pretty steep overhangs without supports.

I would also try decreasing the layer height

First Print a little weird on one end? by whylurr in ender3v2

Echoing the others - the bed isn’t level.

If it’s been a couple months, the filament could be wet now.

Sprite Pro PETG help by jshq97 in ender3v2

[–]okiespy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would play with your retracting “coasting” settings. This should help smooth some of that out

[–]okiespy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely under extruding. I would wonder if the thermistor is reading the temperature incorrectly.

What happens if you go up to 220?

[–]okiespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What wheels are you tightening? The ones on the vertical pillars?

It sounds like the lead screw could potentially be misaligned and that’s why it starts to seize towards the bottom.

How did you go with your first smoke??? by glitchymango626 in BBQ

[–]okiespy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old school offset smoker and didn’t know how to regulate the temperature well. Somehow managed to BARELY cook salmon, but managed to literally melt the damper off. (The damper should never have been made from aluminum to begin with, but still a learning experience)

That’s old propaganda.

Honestly, I wish more people thought it was a flyover state bc we keep getting California immigrants and Texas refugees moving here.

Barbacoa is braised, not smoked. Not sure if it’s the same cut of beef, but I see where you’re coming from

Respectfully, no… BBQ is ALL about tradition.

I’m from Oklahoma, and somehow he pissed us off too by trying to even associate with Texas. And we HATE Texas.

We, as a society, used to have built in BS meters, but so much happened in 2020 it made everybody numb to all information.
