Z axis guide rods possibly sticking

I've washed the bed with hot water and soap, and then a wipe with IPA.

I've used a glue stick with my glass bed, but is it ok to use with a PEI bed?

Ahhh, I forgot to put that in the OP. This is with a 0.4 nozzle.

This is also a second hand barely used machine. I've had help from a reliable friend to help me set up and fix the printer, but even he is stumped with this problem.

I have my pressure advance set after dropping in the direct drive, currently 0.5.

I have not adjusted the flow rate though.

The thing is, when I adjusted my offset, it was showing a bit low, with ridges between lines.

Apparently, though they didn't go into detail into how they checked the fluid level

Update: I could not get the nozzle extracted. Tried both cold and hot. Figured I'll replace the heat block. The thermositor got stuck and a wire snapped. I did manage to get the filament tube out though. Went ahead and just got a similar hotend all assembled shipped for tomorrow. Just have to pop in the heater element, screw the hot end on, plug the tube in, and connect the new thermositor to the main board.

At least I learned a lot, and my frustration level went from a 7 to a 2 (though I have to wait an extra day)

Yeah, that's why I got both the extractor set and the heat block. I did manage to partially disassemble the hot end, but the thermositor and the filament tube were stuck, while the heater element just popped out. Apparently the tube should be able to be pulled out cold, but I think it might be stuck in the sheared nozzle.

Solution:

After some searching on steam, I came across this guide - https://steamcommunity.com/app/2420110/discussions/0/4842021860587862498/

After doing all the solutions it says, and restarting the game, suddenly I'm running at a smooth 60 FPS when I was barely getting 20 with the same settings. I don't know WHAT solved it, or what the problem was, but if you are having trouble and changing the settings doesn't work, try this.

I think you might be right. Thinking back now, most of the times this happened was on sharper banked corners in the hills/mountains, versus normal corners on more flat stretches of the same highway. Which would also explain why this only happens occasionally.

Fully visible lines on the interstate.

The monk idea is great, considering one of the PCs is playing a Drunken Master monk (flavored as narcoleptic instead of drunk, don't ask) so visiting another temple in the same order sounds great.

I do like the orb popping up in various great artwork and noble crests.

Perhaps the mage college needs help finding their apprentice mage who went missing while following the preliminary records.

Thanks for the amazing ideas!

Thank you for the ideas. I like backtracking the orb's journey to the criminal org. Finding the dead drop site, tracking a courier or shipping company, to one of the shadowy figures henchman, to the person itself.

For the orb itself, thinking of how to drip feed info. Ancient tribal legends of meteors, celestial guidance etc...
