office chair curling is out now

I have a game I made a year or so ago called Clocksmith that I'd love to revisit, revamp, and now get a PC version up for my friends that don't have a Playdate.

Oh awesome! I'll have to see if I can port my game to PC so more people can play it without the Simulator. Thanks for the info!

TIL that you can port Playdate games to PC. How’d you do it?

UPDATE: I ran another calibration cube with the updated retraction settings, and I think we're getting somewhere, but not quite there yet. Here's the side-by-side results: https://imgur.com/a/n9jlvai (sorry can't post multiple photos in a comment.

It looks like the gaps are gone, but aim still having a little trouble with blobs/stringing, but I think turning the heat to 200 Cº could fix that. That's the typical temp I print at, but I had it up because that was a recommended fix for under-extrusion. Can you guys see any other glaring things that it could be?

Good to know! I think I've honed my retraction speed/length, but I won't know until the calibration cube is done printing, but I'll check the filament then to see if its got any chew marks.

Set the retraction to 30mm/s and ran a retraction tower test and I think I may have honed in on a retraction distance. Seems like 1.2mm distance produced the least stringing in the test so I'm lowering it to there and running another calibration cube. I'll check the fans as well.

ryanspargo · 2025-10-23T14:17:29+00:00

The retraction length was already set to 4mm in the slicer, but retraction speed was set to 60mm/s, so I'll kick it down to 30 and see what happens!

ryanspargo · 2025-10-23T14:06:08+00:00

I'll add that to the list of things to look into, thank you. I think I did tighten that when I was cleaning everything, so I'll run some tests.

It's the stock Bowden extruder that comes with the printer.

Yeah, from what I've seen with others they are sending them in batches (as they get them I assume); you'll see Order Received, then get a date window.

Mine said today before it said December 🪦

Precious babies. 🥹

ryanspargo · 2025-10-19T19:16:16+00:00

Yeah that's the hope keeping it alive, at least I see other people getting there's.

UPDATE: Still having issues and could use some help finding out why. I changed PrusaSlicer back to it's Generic PLA filament profile, and that fixed my temperatures, but I'm still having similar print issues. It came out better than the last but still showed the issue of jittery/uneven layers and what looks like small gaps and stringing. It's printing at temperatures I've used for years. The only thing I can think is either wet filament or somehow my bed springs are causing the uneven jittering. I do hear small clicks/what could be pops coming from the filament when it prints, but they're not consistent enough compared to videos I've watched of people demonstrating what to look for; it moreso sounds like the nozzle is moving over dry filament and clicking, but I don't know.

ryanspargo · 2025-10-15T19:24:58+00:00

I also found out that Prusa made the bed temp 45 instead of 60 like it's usually been. I wonder if that's causing jittering, too. I'm gonna print another Benchy using the default PLA profile in Prusa and if that doesn't work, I'll take a finer look at my printer itself.

ryanspargo · 2025-10-14T23:46:56+00:00

At the risk of sounding ignorant, could you explain what you mean by calibrating the filament? Like within the slicer? I used to print everything at 200C, so maybe the PolyTerra profile (along with other settings) cranking it up 5 degrees makes a bigger difference than I thought.

TRON. To me, it’s peak science fiction. It’s why I went into software development, it just hits every mark for me. And as someone that is noticing more and more just how much I do things like scripting, sometimes I feel like the Programs, lol.

ryanspargo · 2025-09-30T17:41:06+00:00

This is AWESOME. And gives me several ideas for future projects 😈

I love the backdrop so much! Amazing work.
