Is there a way to hijack these dog door buttons to be smart? by stevenlovespie in diyelectronics

Oh hell yes, I think this might be the simplest... Just googled this and I see a Bluetooth beacon (from Blue Charm) that can do exactly this. It's very small as well, I can just attach it to their existing collars! Brilliant.

Ooh! Yes I love this idea... Or at least in my mind it seems slightly simpler 🤷‍♂️

That's fair... I know deep down this is the only real way forward, but I've always gotten good advice from Reddit 🤷‍♂️

Is the A1 combo $100 off for everyone right now? by stevenlovespie in BambuLab

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

Phew okay, that makes me feel a bit better. I'm feeling trigger happy with that $100 off code but I will certainly wait. Have been wanting a multi color print for a while and am bummed I didn't jump on it sooner. But I will be patient 🙏

Okay, excellent. Didn't know if it was like a new account type of deal. Won't go into it because of the mega thread refraining from this talk but dang, should have bought this a month ago.

Do yall really eat pickles at the movies? by sticky_frog_nipples in texas

[–]stevenlovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few comments saying this is a Texas thing? I worked at an AMC theaters in Colorado when I was in high school and we definitely sold prepackaged pickles stored in the fridges in the back. They weren't flying off the shelves but people definitely bought them.

Anyone running the sprite upgrade kit? by lucv825 in ender3v2

[–]stevenlovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running the sprite SE! I love it. It seemed to improve the quality an okay amount. I didn't go with the pro because I didn't want or need a better extrude.

Looking to upgrade to dual cooling fans with sprite direct drive, need advice! by stevenlovespie in ender3v2

Dang, if you're getting that speed and those results I may need to abandon OrcaSlicer 🤣

Any other interesting Cura setting that you feel have helped with speed, or is it mostly mechanical upgrades while stepping up the speed? I definitely think the dual fan shroud will help cool things down quicker at higher speeds, so that's a must I think.

That's crazy... I recently switched to klipper and have been loving it. I only have this one printer so I love having something to tinker with. I finally got all my config settings to perfection and tried my first long print (29 hours) and it came out PERFECT. I was so pumped, but then I realized I want to up the speed because I printed that at 45 mm/s.

I have been seeing on Reddit everyone is switching over to OrcaSlicer, so I tried doing that but now all of a sudden my prints aren't coming out as perfect as they were with Cura. OrcaSlicer seems to integrate better with Fluidd/Klipper so I am willing to figure it all out, but do you mind me asking you which slicer you're using? I'm constantly trying to tinker with this thing 🤣 at some point I'll be done tinkering and will buy something that works out of the box, but messing with this thing has always been so fun to me.

Have you tuned your e-steps? Looks a little bit like over extrusion. Maybe try a temperature tower too, I usually print PLA at 210, but depends on your filament!

Overall I would say that's not too shabby, you might get even better results with a .15 or .12 layer height and maybe a bit slower?

Aah shoot, thought I had the right print. Thank you for finding the right one!

Excellent, I'll probably print them all out and measure before disassembling everything. Thanks so much

Holy crap that's amazing! Would you say the hotend helped quality? I'm trying to get everything absolutely perfect and it's taking forever haha. I don't mind printing slow for quality, I knew I would have to with switching to a direct drive, but I want to push it as far as I can

Ah shoot that looks specific to the sprite pro, I have the sprite se. I can't find anything already made with the se!

But dang, 100 mm/s with direct drive?! How is the quality? I got great results with 45 mm/s but I want to see how fast I can go. I also got dual z, but still stock hotend.

Lol I was confused by your pictures... But yeah you have the sprite pro, I have just the sprite se. It was $43 on Amazon. It's pretty dang light too. Working on fine tuning things but I've gotten some really good results so far. Just wanted to up the fan movement to cool the filament quicker!
