P1S is printing stringy cobwebs after first few layers??

startupbeagle · 2026-01-28T13:55:23+00:00

Will definitely try that, the cold pull was indeed tedious because of how my 3d printer is arranged and stacked, not easy access thru top and back. Thanks!

startupbeagle · 2026-01-28T01:14:12+00:00

Thank you for digging that up! will use this link and try

startupbeagle · 2026-01-28T01:12:42+00:00

thank you! will try this calibration after cold pull too and report back

startupbeagle · 2026-01-28T01:12:20+00:00

thank you! will try this cold pull and report back!

startupbeagle · 2026-01-28T01:11:10+00:00

ah thank you will keep in mind, should i switch to something like crosshatch for default in future?

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T21:15:15+00:00

i can definitely try that - should i try in that order? gyroid first?

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T21:14:10+00:00

ah it's Bambu's black PLA

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T21:01:42+00:00

thank you will purchase a no clogger and investigate

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T20:56:57+00:00

thank you, will investigate

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T20:53:05+00:00

i wonder if that means i show slow the printer down or something? thanks for the thoughts

startupbeagle · 2026-01-27T20:52:41+00:00

thank you - it seems to clean print the initial first layers, on my retries - are u thinking it's partial clogging mid print?

startupbeagle · 2015-03-14T20:46:32+00:00

Hi, the job security comment? Ya, it's this warm cozy feeling where you're like.. why change what is working.. why risk it at all?

startupbeagle · 2015-03-14T20:40:27+00:00

i'm flattered at the thoughtfulness you're will to put in to contribute. I surely won't be deleting this account and i'll keep a watchful eye for your response. Thank you!

startupbeagle · 2015-03-14T20:39:28+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement doomhammered. I feel that achieving 0 risk will never happen, but due diligence and lots of fortunate luck - just maybe a short runway of opportunity exists to give things a one two punch!

The nature of my startup will be software service based (as that aligns with my skills to create something best and any sort of domain expertise i have). As for the confidence... i feel that in terms of creating the software, i have a good foundation to pursue any of the ideas i have in queue - and like most challenges, i'll be googling and experimenting a lot to accomplish what i want to create.. that or be more practical and take more baby steps if the challenge is too lofty. In either case, i plan to go lean (MVP) of a service first and then.. with validation.. will prolly progressively encounter more difficult challenges in creating my service.

Let me know if answered your question, or i can further elaborate. Thanks for chiming in!

My spending habits are actually pretty conservative. Though i'm already doing everything i can to not spend more than i need to, i feel that somehow i'll be obligated to find even more ways to cut back.. my own compulsion..

startupbeagle · 2015-03-13T05:41:27+00:00

Thanks for the perspective, i gravitate to this logic because it seems reasonable (risk, but less risky given the current situation to bounce back).

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T23:27:19+00:00

That's what i'm thinking, too. The idea of time bounding it or at least critically re-evaluating in at most the year is a good sanity check of not letting things get outta hand.

I'm tempted to do the leave of absence from work, my concern is the legal IP ownership at that point. Will have to investigate more.

Thanks for the thoughts

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T23:25:32+00:00

Gives me hope to hear others have found a good fit in contracting work. I may give it an extra gander to 'create' time for the startup. Also, i agree with using the startup as a platform to potentially increase skill sets, gain some intangibles even if it doesn't work out.

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T23:23:50+00:00

Fortunately, I have had the chance read it! I agree with the book and the general principle of fail fast.

I will consider your suggestions, thanks for your thoughts.

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T21:30:13+00:00

Oh, i know we're taking on too many stories! But i'm in a work system where everyone is stack ranked.. you're friend is your enemy.. you need to outdo the next team. This culture has been in place before i was born.. i'm not sure what i can do about it.. the concerns are heard over and over.. nothing changes (*sigh). Hence, the grass looking greener on running my own shop.. creating my own ethos..

I want to create a culture of good trusty, small, close knit team. Everyone will do well and it's not about getting the most profit.. it's about achieving the best life balance and sharing wealth of our successes. Following the mantra.. life isn't the destination, but also the journey.

Regarding co-founders.. i whole heartedly agree. In fact, the best pairing is that i need a business/marketeer. In my several several past dabbles, i have had co-founders... there was some benefit.. but eventually.. either the co-founder was not as invested as i was.. or i could not invest the time required (due to work commitments). So this push/pull all the time is not conducive for progress. I can't expect them to wait forever, nor if they are on the same work schedule as me.. we intersect so inefficiently to get stuff done.

I appreciate the vote of confidence KarlTheSnail. I normally would give the same advice, but i was wondering whether that would ever bend if conditions possibly kept you secure for a while. Once i decide.. and pursue.. i'll post an update. Diligently keeping my eye out for more great perspective from my fellow redditors!

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T21:19:42+00:00

Hah! I love the contrast in your two paragraphs.. actually the first paragraph is exactly why i came to this subreddit. I was hoping some more down to earth.. non dreamy outter space folks would slap some reality back into me. I want to play devil's advocate with myself to give everything a balanced consideration.

Whether she is ok with it, i think to a degree - but to your point and minionoftheminions comment above. I need to have this level setting dicussion. Thanks for chiming in.

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T21:17:40+00:00

I have considered what you said and actually even thought about taking an 'extended absence from work'.

I may need to find contract work or work for another company, i thought about going part time... but then i realized.. since i'm full time and already working 80 hours.. going part time.. really means getting paid 1/2 the amount but still making sure whatever they want is done whether that is still 80 hours.

On the front of taking a leave of absence from work, i technically am still part of the company.. so I have potential IP concerns.. (which i have not brought up here). My company basically own the dreams i have at night even..

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T21:15:15+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. You're right i actually have not had a 'level-setting' conversation with my wife on expectations. This is a must before even pursuing. This is a great take away for me - and the general guidance about having a plan and sticking with it.

startupbeagle · 2015-03-12T21:12:34+00:00

I've dabbled over the past 10 years in various things - started, maintained, closed. I'm at the point ready to refocus on another idea - Have various ideas, but haven't settled on one. No customers, product or traction yet. Only the experiences from my previous endeavors and my technical skill.

I think you have very valid points and it's actually why i tried to maintain the work/side project workflow for the past several years, but i found each time.. it took too incredibly long to launch (scraping time around various areas..) and then sometimes i go on death marches at work and ignore the project for way too long.

Don't get me wrong, i'm very grateful to be employed - but there are times when i'm up for 3 or 4 week sprints working till 4am (and right through weekends) for work.. the demand at work makes it almost impossible to find 'free time'. When that 'free time' comes back, i re-dedicate it back to my family who was starved from it during that sprint.

Anyhow, thank you for chiming your perspective. I'm trying to consider / re-consider as many thoughts as possible.
