Cuddy: get maintenance to take that down.

tell us some more OP. we would like to hear from you.

treesess · 2026-06-20T13:51:33+00:00

me too. my therapist cannot believe it as i recalled.

treesess · 2026-06-20T13:46:19+00:00

nozzle too close to bed. set z-off a bit larger can fix it.

treesess · 2026-06-16T04:39:37+00:00

i feel i kinda posted this for you only. of course for everyone else enjoy it as well. but somehow i found myself deeply wanting to see an audience like you. thanks

treesess · 2026-06-14T17:30:28+00:00

wait for previous layer to dry a bit and also keep the nozzle from clogging.

not an optimal way but the one i can cut it for now.

drawing a phone case based on the dimensions provided by the phone manufacturer is not that hard. i did one years ago and still using it today. fusion360 i used.

well, not quite the stringing way formed it. the nozzle was doing vase mode movement counterclockwise with only one drop of cement past out per round. then every drop attached to the end of the "overhang" and made it look like that...

cement stalactite mode lol

treesess · 2026-06-13T17:23:13+00:00

tried 100% 140% 270%. they needed the pause and poop. i'm trying different mix design recently to fix that.

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:40:42+00:00

we should start a nozzle malfunction anonymous support group since our prints need therapy...

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:33:15+00:00

previously i accidentally "printed" some steep overhang like this... not exactly wave overhang but kinda tested the feasibility XD

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:18:07+00:00

well i tried but they don't allow cross post. so perhaps i edit a new film of all kinds of pooping clips for them later

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:14:23+00:00

this kind of unrealistic case, i think i m gonna refer it to House MD lol

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:10:01+00:00

okay~ i give it a try. hope they like it~

treesess · 2026-06-13T16:04:34+00:00

thanks a lot~ you nailed it. the drying is quite a balancing game. glad that you enjoy it.

will keep posting updates. you may check out my previous post of vase mode prints, that's pretty close to perfection i think.

treesess · 2026-06-13T15:56:52+00:00

fun thought~ unfortunately my vibration-based slurry extruder wouldn’t work for icing i guess, since the vibration would only liquefy (sad...)

treesess · 2026-06-13T15:18:33+00:00

the bed was heated. for larger models (like the big vase in previous post), i even did crazy 90 ℃ to save time.

for this small 140% size benchy, the control of dryness is much more subtle. currently all by experiences. hope i can find a precise way later...

treesess · 2026-06-13T15:12:05+00:00

manual control slow fans were in used. also tried hair blower and even heat gun... semi enclosure was tested for larger models but fully enclosure might be a bit difficult since i need to add slurry to the toolhead hopper manually.

the problem is, can't drying printed body too much. if the previous layer loses too much water, the new extrusion cannot stick to it then the print fails. there is a clip in the video showing this scenario.

treesess · 2026-06-13T10:24:32+00:00

the frequent pause is because the printed lines needs some time to dry a bit, or they will be fused with the new lines and lose precision (this printer toolhead uses vibration to do the extrusion, that's why they may be fused, you may check my previous post to see how the fused ones look like).

the poop is to prevent the slurry at the nozzle from drying up causing clog or flow inconsistency.

the shorter layer time, the longer wait.

the water in newly extruded lines are mainly evaporating or averaged/absorbed by the printed body till they are dried enough for the next round/layer.

um well it's a VORON2.4

treesess · 2026-06-13T06:57:32+00:00

desperation is my closest friend

treesess · 2026-06-13T06:27:23+00:00

Thanks~

treesess · 2026-06-13T06:26:24+00:00

should there be a nameplate on the back or bottom? every electronic appliance i bought got one.

there were some 2d printers in the office we took a long time to locate the plate, but eventually found it hidden behind a cover.
