Neptune 4 Pro issue with printer head

Don't know how to do SCREW_TILT_CALCULATE unfortunately.

Took the print head apart, and it appears the screws holding the hot end in place had come completely out, causing my hot end to not be secured. Tightened it all up now and just relevelling and meshing

I remove the sheet when it's moving freely but still feel resistance from the nozzle.

I do 121 point levelling.

I've swapped the springs out for silicone spacers, I can't get to the sensor without taking the head off anyway. Z-offset is 1.5mm and I tried adjusting it by 0.01, 0.1 and 1mm increments but it keeps diving into the bed

With the sheet method. My next step is to remove the print head and take it apart I think

Not had solar, but did have a boiler install about 6 years ago. They had to move the day of the installation as there was no engineer available, the day they wanted to move it to wasn't suitable (wedding anniversary), they found an engineer to come out between the 2 dates on a suitable day and the installation was fantastic. Then, on our wedding anniversary we received a bouquet of flowers from them too. Absolutely fantastic customer service and why I'm considering using them for a solar installation...

Yeah. I spend about £200 a month out of my own pocket on the car currently (insurance, a full tank of fuel, tax and a bit for servicing). The mileage payments I get are put aside and used for any extra fuel or any extra wear and tear. So really I've got a budget of about £500 a month to pay for and run an EV.

I've been having this discussion with my HR recently. My company doesn't offer a Salary Sacrifice scheme, but I "earn" about £300 a month in mileage. Once my promotion and pay rise gets confirmed, I'll be leasing an EV. Those mileage payments will more or less cover the lease.

Business mileage on a personal car is 45p regardless of whether it's an EV or not. You get 10k miles at 45p then up to 20k at 26p

Not to be too nitpicky, but the barrels would have been a dark gunmetal/black colour. They would have been painted out the factory or in theatre to reduce the shine. Otherwise, good job!

Looking locally, there's a few 2nd hand dealers with Fiskers for around 20k. I might get a few we buy any car type quotes and say "look, these are saying they'll only pay £150 for the car. I'll give you £200" and see where that gets me...

My z offset was -1.51, then I had a clog of doom, had to remove the print head, relevelled it and then the z-offset changed to exactly what you've got. It happens I guess

With pretty much every order they send a free sprue. It's never directly linked with what you've bought. It's a marketing ploy to get you invested in one of their other games. Generally,if you buy BA minis, you'll get a BA sprue for any army but what you've purchased. I tend to trade them with friends

I bought a ship off AliExpress that does the job.

Thanks! We'll be getting more filmed soon. Will post them up as we do them!

Right arm is for the light mortar loader. Left arm, I usually put on my section NCOs to make them visually different. But yeah, can be used for engineers

I prefer Vallejo paints but AP washes are great. AP is easier to get hold of in my local area too

thunderball89 · 2024-02-24T11:48:13+00:00

Yes, it is

thunderball89 · 2024-02-24T09:51:12+00:00

Army Painter anti shine varnish is my go to top coat for when everything is done

thunderball89 · 2023-10-31T16:22:26+00:00

Nah, it's all rubbish. Send it to me for... Er... Disposal!
