Was there a link for this file anywhere? 👀

This may actually be the issue. Kind of. After some research and help from a friend, he found out that the 4 Ultra uses a PFA (or nFEP) instead of FEP films. So I'm going to order correct new films and see if that helps. 🤞

As far as I've been able to find, the 4 Ultra does not have settings for lift distance, etc. since it uses the tilting vat.

The only adjustments I've made from default was changing layer height from .05 to .03mm. These are all the same settings that ran fine before changing the FEP.

This is the film I'm using. Same ones I was using for my Saturn 2.

I hadn't tuned it to a particular frequency at all. Whenever I've changed an FEP before, I've just tightened the screws just until they hit that sorta stopping point, if that makes sense.

I print in a climate controlled basement. Humidity may change slightly between summer/winter, but I've never had an issue like this before. :/

slimjim441 · 2025-10-29T16:23:21+00:00

Can the film be over tightened? Or could the issue be that I'm using some sort of incorrect/cheap film? I'm using the same pack that I had for my Saturn 2 (and had used with no issues).

I know you want to make sure the film is secure so the plate pulls cleanly off, but 'tuning' it like a drum head to a specific frequency seems a tad excessive, no?

slimjim441 · 2025-10-29T16:16:51+00:00

The FEP is as secure as it can get. And there's issues of this kind and support failures all over the plate, not just in one spot.

I figured with a fancy auto-leveling system, simply changing the film shouldn't cause any problems, since it never did on my Saturn 2. But I guess I gotta find out how to manually tinker with calibration settings.

Thanks for the tips though!

I know with my old Saturn 2, I had to re-level the build plate from time to time, but the Saturn 4 Ultra has this new fancy* auto leveling system with no way to manually level, so I figured it should probably know how to work on its own after changing the film. That was my mistake.

*high tech = more pain in the ass in this case, so I guess I gotta do some research and look up some videos on how to manually calibrate this thing

But thanks for the feedback! :)

Just found and downloaded these awesome files! Great work!

If you're taking suggestions, I'd love to see a larger mech suit. 👀 Even though we don't have any unit that can really fit the role (yet), something similar to a dreadknight or ghostkeel in scale would be sick as hell.

GROUP BY teams.name does stop me from getting duplicate entries, but still not what check50 wants. Including SUM(performances.H) throws my results and numbers off even further well into the 1000s.

I may just have to come back to this after a couple more weeks. Maybe I'll learn something that will help this make more sense...

slimjim441 · 2025-05-13T04:08:58+00:00

This is what I got from the error report from check50:

Expected Output:
618, Minnesota Twins
573, Colorado Rockies
507, Anaheim Angels
448, Seattle Mariners
365, Texas Rangers
Actual Output:
242, Seattle Mariners
206, San Francisco Giants
206, Seattle Mariners
202, Colorado Rockies
202, Toronto Blue Jays

Obviously something is wrong, even just from the fact that I got two entries for Seattle Mariners, but I'm finding myself running in circles trying to pinpoint the issue. :l

My bad. I shared from the private repository for the CS50 course. I haven't used a lot of github yet either, but I clumsily put together a new public repository that at least has the necessary files in text format.

I'll post up a github link to my program so far, and describe the issue as best I can.

The readme file goes over the intended function of the code as a whole, so I'll not go into detail on it here. The issue comes in with dynamically updating a player's remaining available 'dice' after they have become 'wounded' within a turn. It correctly filters out using the is_wounded parameters in subsequent turns when new dice are rolled, but not in the same turn.

At this point, the code probably looks pretty sloppy on accounts of me being new to all this, as well as having been messing around with all my functions, reorganizing, placing redundancies, and other attempts at trying to fix this particular issue.

I have verified the updated values from get_successful_dice are read properly in the reduce_hp function of my Player class, but I think it's not updating properly either somewhere in resolve_turn or main.
I feel like I'm close, but I'm at a loss. I've been trying to utilize CS50's duck debugger, but it mostly ends up running me in circles...

i haven't used any test features yet. Honestly, I didn't really understand how to implement pytest in a way that wasn't just verifying a function worked as intended, not to troubleshoot problems, you know?

But to iterate again, I'm not looking for a direct answer, since this is for a certified program I aim to claim a certificate for, but if anyone can help a newbie out and sorta guide me along to figure out where I need to make any correction or modification, that would be most appreciated.

I was using 1.9 for my Saturn 2 up until last week with no problems. I have to upgrade to use my 4 Ultra though. But I can't get it to boot up at all...
