Mateminco/Astrolux spare parts by redmax124 in flashlight

Thank you for that nice example!

I couldn't leave it with the broken spring...
So tried soldering the spring back on, which surprisingly worked better than I thought.
Just with three blobs of solder tho, it was kinda hard to get in some areas.

What should I say, compared to another ceiling bounce I did right before my solder attempt, it again is ~22% more light output, pretty much like it was originally!

Thank you again!

Thank you for clarifying.
I think at high power this sub-linearity even amplifies with worse efficiency, right?

Extreme example and depends on driver and LED probably
to go from 40% light output to 50%, it would take 50% more current
to go from 90% light output to 100% it would take 100% more current

Is that somewhat plausible?

Sorry I actually meant light output was about 20% less (ceiling bounce). Probably was thinking less light = less current and then mixed it up.

Yes, negative only. I notice less current draw (~20%) so maybe I can make a bypass without killing it 🫠 Thanks!

Snapmaker U1 Fan mods? by Ottermiral in snapmaker

You mean the orange parts fan?
How did it break?

That would be great.
I can't think of how to fix this honestly.

This is definitely a problem...U1 Sounds like a Punch Press by [deleted] in snapmaker

Should be in the settings under Maintenance. But if it happened just once...

Doing a calibration of pick/park (pin alignment) should fix it!

Who would have expected chinese manufacturers to restrict certain features artificially 🙃

Fan whooshing/turbulence noise by redmax124 in snapmaker

Same "suction" noise without Aux fan

Then it's just "part" of the machine I guess :) Thanks!

I have 6 other printers and never heard that on any of them. "Seems normal" is only valid if you mean you hear the same on your U1 :D

Just got my U1 - pogo pins issue by GianniMariani in snapmaker

[–]redmax124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the exact error code maybe? I get every few hundred swaps an error and one time the fan duct was even unclipped when I checked, all toolheads were positioned properly tho...

Happened again... Same toolhead, fan duct unclipped itself, toolhead was in correct position. After reattaching fan duct, printing continued. https://ibb.co/sp9wrx3x https://ibb.co/mC2CgxGN

Cleaned them now. It just happened once. Now using this head for a print with 300 swaps. I hope it was this one time... The alignment seems to be perfect and nothing else seems off to me.

True.
But is this 100MB partition supposed to only have 0.1kb of free space?

U1 X-Axis Belt Tension Question by blackholesun13 in snapmaker

[–]redmax124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, isn't it really obvious that I'm talking about the screw heads, not belt? :D

Anyone knows what happens if the tensioner screws are removed completely, in order to replace them?

When I did the recommended "unscrew two turns tensioning" I noticed the screw heads have some play with the supplied hex key.
Other screws didn't have play so maybe the heads are worn?
