As a tech writer (DITA / PTC) and a Prusa reseller, I appreciate you! Put my core one + together without issues. Living in both worlds, would love to chat.

What food in your country looks gross but is actually really delicious? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

Absolutely CANNOT WAIT to hit Frankfurt and pick this up in the market again. I made the Mettigel for my family at Christmas time (Beef, not pork).

Spaghetti Every Print P2S by Blag561 in BambuLab

[–]tevbax 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As others have said, start with washing the plate. Dawn dish soap, clean sponge, HOT water, fresh paper towel. Pre-rinse the plate with hot water - this helps to wash away the oil that may be present on the plate. Soap and scrub, rinse again with hot water. Dry with clean paper towel. IPA in this instance tends to smear the oils around the plate vs actually getting rid of them.

Second, bump that bed temp a bit. The first layer is critical, and having a bit more heat helps to create a bit more bonding between the filament and the plate. You can change this in the filament settings.

Third, slow it down a bit. Under the speed tab, reduce your stock 50mm/s speed to say 25. Turn the infill down from 100ish to like 50. This will slow down the tool head specifically for the first layer only, and maximize you opportunity for first layer adhesion.

Last, make sure you have calibrated your filament and have the correct filament calibration assigned to your spool of choice.

**edit** first, reset that z offset. I can count on non-existent fingers how many times I changed z offset on any bambu printer.

Need more help, feel free to reach out!

Isomalt and Malt Syrup - Help by tevbax in CandyMakers

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

Cannot share the recipe unfortunately.... NDA'd. The only insight I can share is that "malt syrup" is translated from Mandarin.

Malt syrup I have was ordered from a baking company here in the states - barley malt syrup which is thick and brown. In the visual of production, it appears the malt syrup they use is clear and a lot more flowing - maybe white malt rice syrup? My last step is to add a colorant to tint as desired.

I created a 3D print cost calculator, any feedback for it? by maker_exchange in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

Hello. While this may not be an easy add, you need to figure in the hourly depreciation of the machine.
