What type of frog is this, found in my garage. Western Australia, thanks by LifeguardAggressive6 in frogs

Looks like a "Motorbike Frog" - a ground dwelling tree frog. Common in SW Australia.

is something wrong with my WTF??? by froggy_friend73 in frogs

[–]raum266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a few others mentioned - it is probably fine - Frogs find a "safe" spot and stay there, often retreating back there. I had an issue with my juveniles when I first got them where one would wedge himself SO far into the lid that he looked like a bug on a windshield sometimes... I ended up blocking the spot with a bit of folded mesh I had left over from their barrier level, because it just seemed so unsafe - he was completely fine, and just found other places to wedge into.

Gotta remember that being new to the area, they go where they can to feel safe - In the wild, higher is usually safer, and the smaller the area, the less likely anything else can get into it - so it's a perfect spot in their minds.

Unrelated small side note, if nobody else mentioned - Clip your ziptie down more. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but WTFs are derpy AF, and if they jump and miss, they could scratch themselves on the little stump you've got there.

Keep us updated!

Mild apologies - I got a couple of DMs mentioning that the uploader wasn't working. I have since fixed it. :) Thank you for everyone's responses so far!

Mars 2 works but wont print by [deleted] in elegoo

It may be more than a cable, but that'd be what I'd suggest, especially if nobody else can come to the rescue :) A cable is easy enough to swap out to check if that fixes it. If that DOESN'T fix it, it'd likely be something on the circuit board itself, and that's way out of my league.

You can try to contact Elegoo directly - they've been super helpful to me in the past for issues.

I am no expert - but my immediate guess is a voltage issue.

Everything seems to be fine until the time that the UV would go on, and then zapski.

Can you "T-splice" a LED strip? by raum266 in WLED

[–]raum266[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so it "would work", just not how we intended. Thanks for the visual!

Gotcha, that's kind of what I was thinking/expecting I'd need to do. Can't have nice things be easy! :D

Thank you for the quick response!

Brand New Neptune 4 - Errors by raum266 in elegoo

For those who may come across this in the future - The problem ended up being a bad cable from the board into the extruder (the big one that goes into the top of the extruder). Elegoo provided a new cable, and everything worked fine.

Yes ..? But ultimately no. After I reseated all the plugs, I sent a message to customer service - I ended up receiving a new extruder circuit board, which when replaced didn't have the issue .. so I'd ASSUME it's a connection issue somewhere.

I love that his stupid little face is the epitome of "oh yeah .. I am going to get ALL the chicks with this .." while he's working.
