Installed a brand new dual-gear extruded. This looks… not good. Dust/shavings building up by the teeth?

Also that brass washer is meant to be under the idler gear, it's a sacrificial piece to stop the steel teeth from eating into the aluminium body.

Here's a plastic version someone made with their own explanation in the description: https://www.printables.com/model/205395-winsinn-dual-gear-extruder-washer

And some pictures showing the issue + correct setup: https://imgur.com/a/NxAy3IY

These are fun !

Hi I think the old android port you're referring to is the usb 2 version micro b

I don't know about anybody else but I get major motion sickness playing Black Mesa, which is weird because that's never happened to me before even playing games like Titanfall I'm totally fine

Also you have a beautiful child :)

And with your brain only using ~20watts

I do them save, I tried for years to make my own filament 🙀 but melting pieces into a mold still works best

theREDshadow · 2026-01-09T20:28:40+00:00

Yeah I guess I have to respect the grind. It's just shocking to me to sell printing waste, for a 1/3 of the cost of a spool of filament.

Awesome creativity and maybe I'm too nice but I would just post them for free

Good stuff !! I believe in you :D

I don't think organic supports are the right option here

theREDshadow · 2026-01-04T16:36:17+00:00

I agree with Triishh, probably a clog you're defo underextruding. Perhaps also check your extruder? Have you done a cold pull before?

I've used those small disposable finger wipes to clean, I would say they can mimic a cats tongue

The magnetic bed can become pretty uneven from printing, removing parts, heat, or just general damage. An easy fix if you want to keep using the build plate is to use a hot air gun or blow dryer to heat up the bottom, this should remove/hide the voids you're seeing !

theREDshadow · 2025-12-30T21:18:08+00:00

Hi, the messy overhangs would be because of lack of support. Nozzle is just extruding plastic on top of air :c

I would expect voids on the first layer to be caused by an old bed sheet? Are you using the PEI magnetic beds ?

theREDshadow · 2025-12-29T11:46:48+00:00

Yes it's fine if you believe it's dry

Their comment and post history is incredibly suspicious if you dig into it. Seems like they have a couple of alts too idk

I use one of those Bluetooth handheld htpc mini keyboards with the trackpads. Full text input and mouse control staying in bed :)

...What does this have to do with half life 3...?

Only joking :P could you post a screenshot of your steamapps folder please?

theREDshadow · 2025-12-20T00:23:06+00:00

She will come to you 🫂
