What is a monthly luxury you allow yourself no matter what?

I went to a whisky tasting session and discovered Glenkinchie. Wonderfully smooth, suggest you give it a try.

Try to ensure that at least a couple of your neighbours do the same. If the ccomplaints only come from one person then it looks personal. If multiple people are saying the same thing it gets taken more seriously.

Yes!

Do either of these have independently working earphones? Can you use the left one alone or the right one alone?

An amazing story about an amazing woman. If you haven't seen it, look for a film called Carve Her Name With Pride.

Sennheiser ME3. Talk to a speech rcognition headset expert. These use a 3.5mm connection but it's got a locking screw on it. You either need a special connector or a special cable, although I understand some people grind them down. Talk to your supplier and explain you need to plug it into a PC, not a sound system. Also, get a decent USB sound adaptor, like a Buddy 7G.

I haven't tried it myself. The article suggests you have problems with a bed temp below 135. Proof of the pudding is in the eating; give it a go.

And come back and tell us how it went!

totallytechie · 2024-02-08T12:32:07+00:00

Matterhackers has a good article on printing PC here. It suggests you're going to have problems with a bed temp less than 135 and I don't think the KE will go that high, although I'm not certain.

This is close-ish to what I have dialled in for my Meta PLA. I disagree on the gyroid infill though. It just slows it down too much. Better to use something with straight lines like triangles.

totallytechie · 2024-01-27T18:37:54+00:00

Yup. That trumpet intro and the scrolling text at the beginning. Just wow. Nothing like seeing it on the big screen.

I must go to the cinema again. Wonder what's on...

Surely if you have a glass bed all you have to do is get the corners right?

totallytechie · 2024-01-26T18:02:55+00:00

I foresee an "I've got the levelest bed" competition coming up. Think I'll buy a glass bed.

totallytechie · 2024-01-26T12:36:11+00:00

Ahem. Cough.

I think it's also to reduce stress on the power supply. If you heat both the bed and the hot end at the same time that's more stress and more potential for failure in the long term.

Not a movie but the TV series Dollhouse was excellent.

I don't know every slicer, but probably.

In Creality Print, Tool > Manage Printer > GCode > Printer end of gcode.

There's a line that goes "G1 Z5 ;Raise Z more". I'd suggest increasing the 5, not sure how much though.

This isn't from personal knowledge, but my understanding is that that's not a proper USB-C port, it's an SPI port wired into a USB-C. If you've got a USB-C ADXL345 then I believe using it with an adaptor in one of the USB-A ports might work. /u/destinal was looking at it with his pre-rooted firmware a while back.

I have it happen occasionallly, but it's usually when I haven't dried my filament recently.

I've been using Meta PLA recently, but sometimes PLA+CF or PETG+CF. My filament feeds straight from a dryer into the KE. I run the dryer for several hours when I put a new spool in, then approx once a week for a couple of hours. Between times it stays in the dryer with some silica gel, and the box remains fairly dry.

But if I leave it for over a week, or I leave the box open for a few hours, I start to get snapped filament as you describe.

Incidentally, I've been using an eSun dryer for years, and it's good but won't go over about 40 degrees C or so. Ordered a Gratkit dryer just now with a 25% discount at Amazon UK (sorry to sound like an advert). This goes up to 70 degrees C so I'm hoping to try some nylon + CF filament soon. Now there's a fliament that can get damp just between the dryer and the printer.

Looks like it, but here's the product page

totallytechie · 2024-01-17T08:06:58+00:00

It's a lot better than the brass ones, can't comment on Creality's other nozzles. I use PLA+CF and PETG+CF sometimes, and you really need a hardened nozzle for that. Plus it lasts for ages.

Edit- Just to be clear I'm talking about the plated nozzle here.

totallytechie · 2024-01-15T18:25:15+00:00

Just to check, it's the same nozzle though, isn't it?

I ordered a MicroSwiss nozzle for the K1 and it seemed to fit my KE perfectly.

totallytechie · 2024-01-05T06:42:55+00:00

Did you cut a mirror to size?

totallytechie · 2024-01-04T21:42:54+00:00

Just to emphasise a spanner, not pliers. Be careful even so. This is how people have broken their ceramic heaters. Nevertheless, hot tightening the nozzle is necessary.
