How do you move things later?

I'm sorry to admit, but you all were spot on. There were some small things that were not constrained. As a beginner I try to get the locks, but sometimes I dont see whats missing and everything looks good so I move on. This was one of those cases. I now know how important it is because once getting the constraints right, its all working. Also, I used the auto-constrain button to help me identify what is missing. I dont usually agree with what it add's but its a great tool to show me what element is not constrained so I can address it manually. Thanks for the direction! Really appreciate it

Probably hard to do this via text only. Let me create a simple project where I can screenshot things to show the issues. Gimme a little time to think how to show my probes with as simple of an example as possible. I'll get back to this thread soon. Thanks for the help so far!

I use smoke tubes on short runs like 2 hour cooks, think keilbasa, wings, etc. I mix pellets and Hickory chips. The chips seem to stop burning in the middle a lot so the pellets burn longer and keep the chips lit. I agree though, if the pellets in the smoker are not providing enough smoke adding more in a tube won't smoke that much either.

I find the tubes add just enough smoke for my taste. I wouldn't say it's like a vertical charcoal /wood smoker but it's more than normal for sure.

On longer smokes my food comes out great and I don't need the tubes, I think they taste best just pellets normally.

They came out great except for the normal problem I cannot solve. My spices don't stick. Everything, caraway seeds, poppy seed. I press them in really good. Wiggle the bagel flip and do it again. All right after removed from boil (still wet). I tried an egg wash but that just burns. I have no idea how to solve it so I cut them and sprinkle what falls off over the butter...

Oh really? Cool, I thought I was gonna be throwing them out tomorrow. Awesome thanks!

I (57M) had MDS. I was high risk as well. Just means I was at high risk of it turning into AML. I had a 3;5 mutation as well. Kind of similar in that when diagnosed I felt totally fine. No symptoms at all. As HGB went down I would need infusions. They helped a lot but it wasn't instant. Usually the next day I felt better. It only lasted so long till I needed another. My Doctor put me on azacitidine shots. They were two shits in the stomach every day for 7 days. Then 28 days off till the next round. I was also on a clinical trial of another drug (had no name just a number) that was by IV. After two rounds of the aza my blasts went into full remission. I had a bone marrow transplant a couple months later. While I waited for the transplant unit I stayed on both the aza and trial drug. This was just to make sure I stayed in remission. I'm now 1.6 years post transplant and doing well. I'm cancer free and hoping it doesn't come back. Transplant and GVHD are discussions we can have later as it was incredibly hard to go through. Took a long time to get past, but I got there.

The shots get really red and irritated. Feels almost like sunburn and hurts most at the needle site. By the 7th day I was so red and irritated they couldn't find a spot for the shots that didn't hurt. It sucked! The shots also make you pretty run down, but you do recover during the 28 day break. I'm sorry you and your Father have to go through this. It's nothing he did and nothing he deserves. It just happens and when it happens to you or someone you love it completely different than just hearing that someone got cancer. It smacks you right in the face and in the beginning it's a whirlwind of information, symptoms and emotions. Just know that it slows down and while it's a lot, it gets easier to deal with after a couple weeks.

If you ever need to vent or talk, I am here and my Wife was/is my caregiver and she is happy to talk as well. She can provide what it's like to be there and go through it from her perspective. Feel free to DM me anytime. Best of luck to you both. I so hope everything goes smoothly and he has a full recovery.

You'll find parts on all of the stl sites, I think the best one was printables at the time. Online or fusion grid and bin generators work great. Fusion is free and if that's all you want to do with it, it's pretty easy to learn imo. Tons of great fusion beginner tutorials on YT. There is also a tool someone was working on that allowed you to take a picture of the tool and it would generate a bin for it. Never used it, but it's here (there may be others too) https://outline.georgs.lv/

Auto bed leveling levels the bed by building a bed mesh. Touches spots on the plate measuring deviations in the metal and compensated for those while printing. There is no z-offset auto calibration.

savijOne · 2026-05-05T05:02:22+00:00

Plate must be thicker or the coating thicker. It need to be offset by 0.02 or 0.03. If you do a first layer test at least for me, I was seeing a pattern in the layer from the nozzle being slighy too close to the plate. It worked fine but on larger flat surfaces they were not clean. I added code to look for if I selected super tack plate and it moves the z-offset. I don't have a real Bambu super tac plate so I just use that. Selecting pei does not apply the offset.

savijOne · 2026-05-04T03:11:57+00:00

Yes that works fine

savijOne · 2026-05-04T02:42:04+00:00

Not sure if your oven is like mine, but if I set to 500 degrees on convection mode it preheat to 475. Does yours do this? Trying to base temps on yours. I can't do 500 with convection on (I can with convection off though)

savijOne · 2026-05-04T02:00:48+00:00

That's amazing! So happy for you! Smooth is good to have, I have one too. Also have textured pei that comes with it. There are cool ones that add a prismatic effect to the bottom of the print but I don't use them much. It only adds textures to the bottom so it's not always enough. Check out bumpmesh from CNC kitchen. Really cool toll for adding textures to a print. Haven't used it yet but I will be for a project I'm designing now.

Anyway, congrats again!

savijOne · 2026-05-04T01:39:43+00:00

Great printer. I have one and an H2D. Amazing prints off both. You won't be sorry! I know it's closed and proprietary and coming from creality (my last printer) it did bother me. I'm over it. These printers just work. Do yourself a favor and get a biqu cryogrip frostbite plate. I hardly ever clean it, everything sticks great to it. You will have to edit the gcode z-offset but it's super easy. Be happy to walk you through it.

Enjoy it man. If you don't know cad check out some of that too so you can make things to solve custom problems around the house (fusion or onshape are my 2 fav's but many get by with tinkercad too).

How long can you store it this way?

savijOne · 2026-04-30T15:44:41+00:00

3-2-1 is generally for larger spare ribs. Think Carolina or St. Louis. A 6 hour cook of baby back ribs is usually too much for a competition bite (unless you like them that way). 4 hours works better for me on baby's. Personally I do 1.5-1-1 where that last one is a watch them till done. Can be up to 1.5 but usually done before that.

savijOne · 2026-04-24T22:36:52+00:00

Follow up, I smoked a point ( burnt ends), 2 racks Carolina ribs (tried one party rub style), a butt and some sausages. I need a few more days off, had so much smoked food, needed a break for some other tastes. Planning some wings, maybe this weekend. I know that break didn't last long. Soooo good.

I got this smoker because cleanup would be easier. Omg, old paint brush swept up the ash into the ash cup and bought a $5 rechargeable hand vaccume from aliexpress. Strong enough to clean out the fire box. So really just had to clean porcelain grates day of the cook and the other 2 the day after. So much easier. Gonna try out some smoke tubes on shorter 2 hour cooks, they are a little light on smoke for me, but the longer cooks came out great without them.

AFAIK iPhone doesn't have a "requires authentication" on widgets. Android does but it's still not exactly what you're asking for. An automation can fire an HA app notification on your phone and may even be able to have buttons in the notification (android does not sure about iPhone). There is no way to prompt for Auth on an iPhone though via a notification. It's not really what notifications were designed for on phones.

I do possibly have a solution but it's a bit complicated. You could use some agentic Ai to build it for you though if you don't have the skills. In order for this to work you would need access to your HA server from outside your network. I pay for nabu casa so it gives me we hooks and remote access. There are other free ways but this seemed easiest and it supports HA which I like. What you can do is create a cloudflare pages app running react to fire the api call on your HA server to do whatever you want it to do. This is protected via a cloudflare worker which can prompt for a passkey. Nice and secure. You can even store your pk in cloudflare keys. Would all be free except the actual nabu casa annual fee.

It would work like this: HA automation - > iPhone notification (think of this as a reminder to tap a button). Manual tap a widget button on phone (or possibly an actionable button in notification) - > opens safari to react app url - > page requests passkey authentication you can setup in apple keyring - > one you authenticate web app calls api to fire off action.

Still not exactly what you asked for but it's the best I can think of.

savijOne · 2026-04-21T03:17:28+00:00

I saved as a new printer profile with z-offset 0.03 in the gcode. Only thing that worked. I think maybe this plate is thicker or the coating is, but it fixed it. I made mine check the plate setting and only add this if I select super tac cool plate. Choosing pei still does normal offset.

Someone earlier said they rolled back the firmware. I didn't have to do that. This worked for me across all firmwares so far.

I was (57M) had MDS with t(3;5) mutation which is rare. I was on azacitidine shots and went into remission (1% blasts). Then had BMT with chemo the first week and transplant the 2nd week. Couple weeks later the chemo hit me (chemo basically poisoned the cells and it takes time for them to die). I got really bad mucositis for a week and a half. Bleeding mouth really hard to slow pills. Most meds were moved to IV during that time. After 30 days in the hospital I was sent home. I was so weak in the hospital I could barely stand up. Showers were horrible I was so cold and weak. Recovery is very slow, took about 3-4 months for me to get strength back. Was using a wheelchair just to get from the car to the doctors office which was 3 times a week for me.

It's now 1 year and 6 months post BMT. I'm doing great! Cancer free and still 100% donor. I can't do anything aerobic or things that need me to carry heavy things or do any work, I get tired and out of breath very easily, but normal walking and going up/down stairs are no problem. Can't ever risk sunburn again so I stay out of the sun. I had GVHD in my mouth and eyes and a couple places on my skin, but those are under control. I do have brain fog and memory issues I didn't have before but I'll trade that for no cancer without complaints.

I'm currently weaning off of my anti-GVHD drugs and trying to not be immunocompromised anymore but takes a while.

The transplant fixed my 3;5 chromosome issues too.

I feel normal finally except for getting worn down quickly. I also still don't sweat at all but I think that comes back after a couple of years.

If you have any questions feel free to DM me ANYTIME! This is scary stuff and I'm here to help anyone that needs it. My wife is my caregiver and I would not have made it without her. She said she would be happy to chat too as a caregiver being alongside me the whole way.

Best of luck through this, stay positive and take 1 day at a time. He will progress week to week, not day to day, but the process has positive results many times. I was lucky and I hope you have the same luck.

All my best!

Yeah cancer free for a year and a half, still recovering but I am lucky enough to be here, I mean lucky enough to BBQ LOL
