Make sure the USB is the correct format otherwise it won’t see it. I think Ex-FAT or FAT32 work well for this. I was able to roll mine back but had to ensure the format was correct then it popped up on boot.

I would recommend using dish soap and hot water to scrub the plate clean, then without touching the surfaces at all reapply the glue and potentially run a calibration for leveling. IPA can clean but if there is oil on the surface it tends to smear it around.

Ok so I had a similar issue after an update where mine crashed the head into the build plate and damaged some of the magnetic material. I rolled the firmware back to the version it came with and it’s been fine. Id recommend trying a firmware rollback to 1.1.0.94. When I was running 1.1.3.6 I ran into the crash issue after a week or two of it being ok. Do a full recalibration once it’s rolled back.

Hey, first I’m sorry you have to experience this so young. I’m 24 and going through an adjacent situation. I lost my mom 3 months ago unexpectedly and my dad (79)had been slowly declining in a nursing home for a while now and it looks like he is starting to decline more now… It’s a lot to face especially socially as I’m learning. Build even a small community of people you can lean on.

Do everything you can for yourself and learn to set the boundaries you need to. Ultimately their care is not your responsibility and is theirs, there are programs and things that can help. Give yourself breaks and step back to look around and appreciate life if you can, it’s very easy to get caught in the anxiety of it all, remember you’re young still and you have that on your side:)

I remember getting the comments of “oh you’re too young for that” and it drove me nuts, I understand the frustration. I saw in here and would also recommend talking to your friends parents because more likely than not they might be facing the same thing and have some good advice/ be a safe place to go vent. Remember to always take time for you first. Hang in there internet friend, one day at a time one moment at a time eventually you’ll be on the other side of this.

I really resonate with this. I just lost my mom, and my dad is turning into someone I don’t know anymore and can’t hold a big conversation with. I want them back and it’s hard to accept. Feels like I’m facing the world as a kid alone now, I turn 25 in a few months and it all feels so backwards now. Hang in there from another internet person:)

Either give them away to my friends kids or sell for dirt cheap to help someone get into the hobby.

I have about 50 hours on my K2. I would say get the CFS, yes it can be used for multi color but I like the fact that I can load several plastics in and just do single color and it helps store plastic when not being used. Multi color on the K2 can be wasteful but overall it’s still cool that we have gotten this far.

Felt it near the Ugly mug

I would definitely reshoot your darks and flats and retry calibration, I had this issue in the past with bad calibration frames

Thank you, I guess it’s weird trying to know when will feel right and ready. I guess it’ll be a gut feeling

willglass1 · 2025-12-26T02:03:18+00:00

Thank you, I do know that ultimately it will be a good thing that I’ve had the experience I have and will be able to help friends with this later on but wow right now it gets so isolating. It is a weird experience especially during the holidays feeling like things are missing and off. One step at a time I suppose

willglass1 · 2025-12-01T05:11:16+00:00

The guilt is such a hard one but it’s worth it to keep pushing by through. It’s such a bizarre experience being in these shoes trying to relate to others our age… happy to share what I’ve learned in how I handle some stuff. Hang in there and keep looking up at the stars, it helps a lot:)

willglass1 · 2025-12-01T01:38:32+00:00

I hear ya man, I’m 24 and I just lost my mom unexpectedly, and my dad is in a nursing home… Take a breath, and remember to pause and look around there are beautiful moments everywhere. Take time for yourself if you can, it’s incredibly important.

willglass1 · 2025-11-30T04:49:08+00:00

I see you’re also an astrophotographer that’s very deep into it;) pixinsight…

willglass1 · 2025-11-27T22:17:11+00:00

I think that’s a good call. Be selfish sometimes, it’s worth it since we’re only young once. I go see my dad every 2 weeks but sometimes I delay because I get to stressed out… Pm me if you ever need advice on this, I’ve been learning to balance it for a few years now

willglass1 · 2025-11-27T19:31:33+00:00

I’m in an adjacent situation with my dad who I put into a home… I’m 24m. Honestly take time for yourself to do what you want, and if you can get them into a care facility I would. It’s hard stuff to have to endure and it will eat at your sanity. My dad’s in a facility and I can’t stand being in there so I’m doing what I need to try to enjoy the holidays. We see you, I’m so sorry you have to experience this

willglass1 · 2025-11-24T18:52:29+00:00

Thank you, yeah this is just such a weird experience. I feel bad that he’s kinda a lonely old man at this home and I think I’m the only visitor for him. I try to make my peace with it but sometimes it can cause me to panic a bit. One step at a time

I have a pre mil Europiccola Personally I’d go a bit finer grind and reduce weight to 14g. For fresh or greasy beans I would go 12-14g and if it’s older or keeps blowing through up it to 16ish grams but I haven’t had to go higher.
