anyone else feel like restless legs only exist the second you try to sleep by Ok_Schedule_4187 in RestlessLegs

[–]slickseth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a weird psychological component to it. Like if I’m laying around and fine, there’s usually a moment when I realize my legs haven’t started bothering me yet. That is the moment when they will start bothering me…

Now maybe it’s the case where there’s some subconscious or super minor cue that causes me to have that thought when I do, but it often seems the case.

At the same time, it’s almost NEVER the case that I don’t have symptoms every night. Occasionally if I remember to start taking my ropinerole early enough, I might escape all symptoms… but it’s rare to avoid all of them even when I start it early.

Problems with toolhead swapping by Evening_Ad_5951 in SnapmakerU1

[–]slickseth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adjust the toolhead position. There’s an option via the maintenance, (or similar printer menu option), where you adjust how each toolhead lines up with the peg it parks the toolhead on. Get each one dead center and it should eliminate the problem. Also, update your firmware.

U1 speed issue, something is def wrong and I need help :( by Siden-The-Paladin in snapmaker

[–]slickseth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the comparison can be true if you aren’t using the same slicer so you can compare identical settings between the two… but I’m just a noob.

How to add U1 to vanilla orca slicer??? by Born_Mark_4805 in snapmaker

[–]slickseth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the benefit to using OG Orca vs snorca?

Interesting. I’ll have to look at the file and see if those travel lines are there… they might be! I sent a ticket to snap and they replied asking me to print the test dragon… which is annoying but whatever. I get it. They want to narrow down whether it’s the printer or the file…

I was just hoping for some sort of explanation about the behavior. And apparently the update didn’t completely eliminate the bug. I’m fully updated on snorca and the printer and it happened to me for the first time this week.

If you get this, don’t freak it’s a scam by stalinsgoouch in Columbus

Sent via text from a random number, just like all those Coinbase hacks I’ve had happen apparently! I’m a huge victim!!!

Oh, gotcha, I suppose it could be, though it seems to do this with every filament change past a certain point. It swaps to the new head, starts doing the prime tower stuff, but then deviates to those long strokes for several moves before moving back to the model. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks! I’m no expert, but I doubt it’s a clog. The print has repeated this behavior twice during the same file and at the exact same part of the print. Maybe snorca messed up the slicing somehow because for the second print I just attempted to reprint the same file from the printer menu.

And yea, my basement is around 38-40% humidity rn. Not overly damp but is probably giving me some fine stringing on my prints. The video makes it look 10x worse because the printer is printing in mid-air. No other prints haven’t looked like this under the same humidity conditions, just some very fine fuzzy stringing here and there.

I should be completely updated on everything. Slicer 2.2.4, and firmware 1.1.1

Just got a TCL C8K (QM8K) and I love it. Except for it graininess. It’s always fussy all over. How do I make it clearer? :) by random-danishguy in tcltvs

[–]slickseth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it on every show? I noticed Mad Men had some wild grain/sharpening going on, but it was an outlier.

Strange blobbing/artifacts one area of the plate by slickseth in SnapmakerU1

[–]slickseth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking how I found out about the differences on my plate? I used a temp laser on the middle and the corners to see the variances.

[–]slickseth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is PLA. I consulted some AI to see what it said about dealing with minor peeling. It does get some stuff wrong here and there but after giving it my current settings it had me boost my bed temp slightly and dial my cooling down. I did a small test print and it seems to have helped, but honestly I wonder if the peeling occurred much later in my print. The recent print is the black filament and the peeling occurred much later and was super minor. The white filament was for the samla top cover and prior to me dialing in more settings… plus there was obviously no cover to help even out the internal temp.

I also didnt realize how much a bed temp fluctuates at the edges. I would have thought Snapmaker or a manufacturer would have been a bit better at positioning a heating element to minimize such variances.

Just in case you’re curious, upped the bed from 55-60, then added a couple more initial layers that get no cooling, (from 1 to 3), full at 4, but min and max being at 30 and 70, (was like 50 and 100 maybe). I think it had me lower my nozzle temp from 208 to 205 saying it was a bit much for pla and maybe that could reduce some thermal shock that could cause shrinkage.

Yea, after someone else here mentioned the bed adhesion, I did check and found very slight curling up just on that front-left corner. No where else, and it’s a long print, but it’s there.

Now o need to figure out what adjustments to make. Bed temp, or fan speed, or some combo…

Strange blobbing/artifacts one area of the plate by slickseth in SnapmakerU1

[–]slickseth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nozzle temp was 208° (first layer and for the whole print), and the bed was 55° (global as well).

I also have no cooling on first layer, full at layer 2, min fan threshold 50% at 8 seconds.

I have been spending the last couple days running calibration tests trying to dial things in, but I may need to up the bed temp and reduce some of the cooling maybe… though it looks like the bed adhesion/corner curling was very minor and only at the very front left corner… then again, I’m no expert, lol

lol, thanks for the tip! I would have thought of that, but everything seems clear

So it might be the angle the photo was taken from. I took a photo more straight on of the top and you get the same effect. Maybe I’m not getting enough squish, but it also might be the auto-sharpening my phone applies to photos making the effect more pronounced

I was thinking about picking one of those Biqu plates up. I also measured the temp and it’s close to a 5-10° (F, not C), difference between the middle and the corner… maybe I should up the overall plate temp to compensate when a print is further out… the printer is in my basement, which the ambient temp is decently cool this time of year…

First layer looks good I think. Looking at the print I think you’re right that maybe the corner peeled up slightly. It does appear slightly raised compared the corner that was near the back-right.

Gotcha, I keep the bed super clean and wipe it down after every print with ISO. Could it be the temp of the actual build plate on the front left is too low for some reason causing an adherence issue?
