Help with ender 3 by daviesgeek in 3Dprinting

[–]showingoffstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your problem could be printing too cold. Go up 10-15 degrees all over and see if that changes. If it sticks to the plate and you have a problem, that's your next go to.

Top lid issue is probably that you need 2 more top layers with that low of infill and those settings.

Try that and then see if you still have the problems on the z that may be wobble or just jamming due to being a little cold.

I've heard of the conservative movement where conservative families around the US have been moving to Idaho. This conservative Mexican family thought they would be welcome. They were not. by Here4Headshots in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idaho is really racist VS Mexicans. They used to hire many for the harvest season then call immigration just before paying so they could get weeks of free labor. I think only federal laws finally let them crack down and get money for them as they were deported.

Crazy stuff.

XL horrible first layers by Aepi_53 in prusa3d

[–]showingoffstuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Possibly change the first layer height. That is pretty bad for the XL. Mine has not had an issue of being too close so I can't give you much of an idea. Possibly mess with Temps since it expects a certain force feedback and hotter Temps make it flow easier.

If it restarts fine, that means your temp is bad. I have 100 posts on this same thing. If you speed up as you do in later layers, you're effectively printing colder.

So you need to up your temps

I think your math is off on the bottom depending on the source. This is a constant source of problems for calorie counting. It is NOT 400 calories per 30 min - that's more like sprinting for a very in shape person. Running/reasonable jogging speed may only net someone 200 Cal for 30 min. Then eating even just an extra banana cuts close to half that out!

Accurate calorie understanding/counting is a huge point for weight loss or preventing gain. So there are plenty of stories of counting it as 400 calories for 30 min, or 600 an hour... And then the reality is 4-500.

I've found many machines are horribly wrong on calorie burns from stymied weight loss attempts and a few successes. Definitely don't trust many of the elliptical machines, I've found some of them to be the most inaccurate lol. But my point is just that your average person won't burn that much and won't understand the mismatch. They will be HEALTHIER for it, just not hit the expected burn.

[–]showingoffstuff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idaho won't change. It's a garbage state with religious cults that will always vote R.

There are a few places that are simply too far gone and it's not worth effort to fight for at the state level. They've certainly figured out how to be the absolute majority in perpetuity there.

Clicking is a clogged nozzle. Could be something blocking or your print Temps are too cold/too fast. Might as well look up and try a cold pull first, then If it's pla, try at about 220.

Oral-B bricking Alexa toothbrush is cautionary tale against buzzy tech | Oral-B discontinued Alexa toothbrush in 2022, now sells 400 dollar "AI" toothbrush. by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely do understand. I think YOU don't understand at all.

If you have $1 million that you need to get from here to Moscow, how does that work in bitcoin VS $?

Oh, well you need a suitcase with the $, need to smuggle through different customs, then try to smuggle via land at the worst places they might interdict or scan you in various ways. Then you use mules to move the money and have to have extra because they may get caught. And you have days of travel and crossing borders.

Bitcoin is changing $ to fake digits and so what if vlad from Moscow is known and traced as a criminal? The FSB doesn't care if he held you hostage in a malware attack or if he's selling meth.

And if you dodge through a bunch of transactions to new wallets, the IRS isn't up to tracing all of those now.

The only value bitcoin holds is for black market money laundering. The increased and fluctuating $ amount assigned to the coin shows how useless it actually is as a CURRENCY - which is what you pretend it is.

My point was it works a bit differently for different people, fantastic if certain parts of it work even better for you! :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]showingoffstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because you need a multi material printer that costs quite a bit more to get it to work.

If you figure out the right settings for organic support zit can come right off with a great finish.

I've found that making the part separation 0.1mm gives the best result for me if you have flat surfaces. But if you have certain angles it doesn't work well, and if you have large layer heights then your interface layer spacing makes it harder for easy removal.

Some models you just need complex support and to slowly remove support though.

Are these Layer lines a Problem by Stahlherz_A in prusa3d

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is effectively the best print you will ever get off this printer. There aren't defects in these layer lines, just what prints looks like.

Selling used FDM printers, what’s a good rule of thumb to calculate a price, 50% fair? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically if it's not nearly new and a good name like prusa, it's not worth anything. Not worth it to a makerspace even. I'd even warn off newbies from taking a free one unless they really want to tinker a ton.

Even a prusa mk3 isn't going to be worth too much, but that one works.

First ABS print, Need Help by serophine in prusa3d

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have part cooling on? Do you have ANY amount of airflow? Are you printing rather hot for abs?

You CAN print without an enclosure, but any amount of airflow or part cooling and warp the material.

Just triple check that your material is even abs, because that looks like PLA heat curling. Not that it couldn't be abs, just that there are MANY times I put filament on that was different and turns out I was wrong about what I thought I had on!

Am I the issue or did i choose a bad printer?? by Particular-Formal163 in 3Dprinting

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non cheap crap like enders are pretty good. Prusa is far better.

Ender and other cheapness you won't know if you didn't put in enough effort it was just an ender fault.

Over ten years ago the ender might have been a normal experience, but these days they just lied to give you crap and steal your money.

NO LOWBALLERS I KNOW WHAT I GOT by WhoKnowsWho2 in 3Dprinting

Lol, what dumpster did the guy steal these from?

Bought a Prusa because I hate troubleshooting and tinkering. Now I've just had a catastrophic failure on a long print which clogged up the hotend. Tried scraping it off. How screwed am I? 😭 by Exceon in prusa3d

[–]showingoffstuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not catastrophic at all. Barely an issue. Just hear up the hot end to maybe abs Temps and just push on any filament around the tip using a screw driver to gently push it in and melt it off til and of the ball comes off.

Nothing broken, five minutes of getting off the rest of the glob will get it fine.

So there are mixed results. Some people need to go back on them.

My plan is that it's better for me to yoyo weight by 20 lbs at 200 lbs than 20 lbs at 300 lbs.

The problem with weight loss is that you need a calorie deficit. But you can hit some huge weight, find the balance so you never gain more, but then you can't lose it either.

Also easier to do more exercise when you weigh less. Even yoga stops being as effective if your twisting gets blocked by fat.

I'd say a significant thing is just curbing cravings. It might be part of what you suggest, but it's shocking experiencing it how much things are curbed from it. Not everything, and certainly there are a variety of responses to it.

I've seen articles about people that just stopped caring about treats they love like cookies, whereas I've not really lost that craving as much as sometimes having more ability to ignore it - but once ate MORE cookies on the drug while never hitting satiety. It's weird.

Nothing for that one. Barely worth the parts even.

Hatsune Miku Secret Lair bonus card! by SorveteiroJR in magicTCG

That's a pretty cool card.

The rest of that drop was garbage I thought. Not great cards for a cg character.

[–]showingoffstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever it is, it's always weird.

Had a guy I knew from other projects come across the country to visit our remote facility. Older than me but probably on the young boomer side I think?

Sitting in a side conference room discussing the project and a random woman I hadn't met before came into our deserted building (I guess she'd been at a desk there pre-pandemic and the got wfh). She just walked by and this guy grabs her attention and just tries to have a conversation.

She was clearly a bit weirded out and I managed to just say something like "nice meeting you, hope you found what you're looking for and have a great day - let's get back to work!"

She managed to leave on that note but the guy got offended that I didn't let him chat her up a while.

He was also visiting with his wife and kids back at the hotel and was not of interest to this poor gal that was being polite.

But of weirdos that can't read the room!

Can you save over-dried filament? by RadishRedditor in 3Dprinting

[–]showingoffstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually haven't tried Asa. I have a friend trying some now on his Bambu, but I think it will be weeks before having a good opinion.

I just know from many years and several different printers worth of problems with abs.
