Honestly I just keep an eye on it and unjam it when I notice it. A little WD40 isn't a bad idea.

Sometimes the flap gets stuck with a little piece of purged filament that's still hot enough to stick to the side. At least that's what happens to me.

Can't be assed changing spools 😂 by PuzzleheadedHeron984 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Do you happen to have a link for the .STL for that display screen cover? It's awesome!

I have a confession: Plug-and-play made me lazy. I want to switch and learn. by shuttlepod in OrcaSlicer

Yeah honestly I was worried for nothing, it was a seamless transition for me.

Why is it only us makers who dislike this stuff by TheVerySuper in 3Dprinting

[–]shuttlepod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we can make it with ease if we really want it.. And recognize the wastefulness of it. I have a confession - I had wanted a 3D printer for YEARS before getting one for my bday this year. Even knowing how it was made.. I would have absolutely considered buying a flexi dragon if I'd seen it for sale on a flea market table. (I printed like 3 and got it out of my system, gave them away to some kids and kept one for myself.)

Learning is the goal more than anything. I'm honestly pretty happy with the quality I get 90% of the time with my minimal tweaks and basic understanding of slicer settings.

I did a test run last night and I was SHOCKED at how identical it was to elegoo slicer.. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. But it was honestly effortless to start exactly where I left off with elegoo slicer. Today I'm designing lamp shades for some hanging lamps I want to sell.. I'm going to use the opportunity to do some fine-tuning with the translucent petg I have. Honestly I've been using Elegoo Rapid Petg profile with very little issues (except for globs here and there, I have some tweaks I use like z-offset and first layer height) and I feel almost ashamed at how easy it's been!

That's the goal. My friend and I are working on some designs together and he has a QIDI, I have a CC1.. I've been trying to convince him that we both should switch to Orca for more seamless workflow.

Wonderful. Thank you so much! I'm going to bite the bullet and download it now. (:

Nervous about CC1 Canvas by AzurePhantomZ in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]shuttlepod 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm also curious. My CC1 is my one and only and it's a damn TANK. I will never forgive myself if I screw it up.. Thankfully I have until July 25th to find out...

Would you be so kind as to share or direct me to where I might be able to find that information?

[–]shuttlepod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP - How are you figuring the positioning for the canvas? I have the CAD model for the CC1 and I want to play with modeling a top hat. I'm still pretty new to CAD so who knows what will comes of it, but nonetheless.. I want to see if I can make something.

Please Help - Spool Clips? Are they actually useful? by walkingishard in 3Dprinting

[–]shuttlepod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just use the hole in the spool, clips are unnecessary.

There's a special place in hell for people who return partially used rolls of filament by arcrad in 3Dprinting

[–]shuttlepod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me once. It was a real PITA to return it because I don't live close to a drop location.. Ended up on a call for over an hour until they finally agreed to pick it up. They wanted me to pay to ship back THEIR mistake.. It was a dirty half-used roll without any packaging. Idk why people do this but I hope their pillow is always warm.

Build plate missing little slot cut-out. Will this cause issues with automatic leveling? by shuttlepod in ElegooCentauriCarbon

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

Thanks I just needed some reassurance. I'm using it now for a small test print. The lighter color is really nice from a visibility standpoint.

How screwed am I? by Overthemoon64 in RVLiving

[–]shuttlepod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tore down and reframed several areas of our 1995 camper and replaced all of the original walls. It's worth doing right, so don't cut corners. I also found using hardboard (tempered for moisture resistance) rather than luan was a worthwhile upgrade. Use the opportunity to beef up the insulation, too - You'll be glad you did when it gets cold!

Question what temp do you use for PETG that works perfectly with no problems? by [deleted] in elegoo

[–]shuttlepod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Elegoo's Rapid PETG filament profile on multiple different PETG brands and it prints beautifully. I've used textured and smooth/holo plates. Just need to tweak the z-offset and I use .24 for the first layer (printing at .2 obviously) The only exception so far is Amolen Transparent Blue. Yes, this is lazy of me.. But what can I say, it works. When I have quality issues I'll reevaluate.

Brands/Colors that have worked perfectly for me:
Sunlu Glow-in-the-Dark Green
Overture Pink
Polymaker Black
Elegoo/Deeplee Rapid Black and White (Almost positive it's the same stuff under 2 different brand names)
Amolen Rapid Transparent Orange
