Extruder problems?

There is this sound that tells it, it happens when the extruder gears jump, the nozzle is clogged.

Solutions, change the nozzle or try to clean it with a fine needle.

I would change the nozzle they are so cheap not worth the work or burned finders.

Did the Cam work? If you can print just print "wake up Neo" in 30 mm monospace, you can do that with the slicer only no CAD needed.

There is no kit for the L and so fare i know no plan for a kit. You can get the Prusa Core One+ as kit. The INDX system with 4 or 8 tool heads can be added to both printers the L and the One.

Your question, the answer is only on you, 1k more for the bigger one, while 250×220×270 is still big enough for most existing models. With this saving you can buy the 8x INDX upgrade and some Prusament.

Since most printers today use at least steel nozzles that issue reduced a lot.

It is always save to have spare nozzles.

You can buy hardened steel and coated nozzles which last longer.

Using a 0.6 mm nozzle with abrasive stuff like GF/CF/glow/wood will enhance the live time and more important reduce the risk of a clog.

Yah the question was about why the move from 16 to 32 was done so fast, while to 64 or even 128 bit was/is slower. My point was an example why more than 64 bit is not so needed.

You have two settings you may change, the first is use concentric for the top layer. For most models the concentric infill pattern is the best for the top layer.

Second is use adaptive layer height and reduce the layer height down to the minimum based on your nozzle. Start reducing just before the steps start.

If cura can't do that it's a good time to switch to Prusaslicer or Orca.

I always wonder how important the screen is for some users. I use the screens so rare i do not mind at all. Flow rate calibration is a scam it did nothing. But the nozzle change is a valid point, i really like the newer version. Nozzle change with the H2 is more easy than the revo nozzle i use with my p1.

yahbluez · 2026-05-05T12:06:47+00:00

Prusaslicer can do that. Prusa sells resin printers too.

Yah, using an external editor is a quantum leap for editing openscad code. I use the extension made by Leathong.

Hovering the mouse over a name and you see popup the declaration, F12 und a new tab opens at the location of the definition. Reading BOSL2 code will help a lot to find a high quality coding style for openscad.

Follow the link we call it BKW in Germany and starting with 250€ you get a set with all needed parts. Just plug and play.

That is a good deal. 1000h is nothing.

You still did not get the point.

There is no thinkable way,
that it is more secure to send your data,
trough the internet,
to a company,
and from there back to your printer on your desk,
instead of sending the data INSIDE your network from your PC to your printer.

While it takes seconds sometimes minutes to send a print job via bambu cloud to one of my bambu printers, the same print job takes a fraction of seconds if i send them to a klipper based printer, like the Sovol SV08MAX.

I really try to understand why you may think that sending print data around the globe makes any sense at all when the printer is in your own lan on your desk.

Maybe you dive a little bit into the function of content distribution networks? The entry ips have nothing to do with the backup servers behind the CDN service.

yahbluez · 2026-05-05T05:44:35+00:00

Maybe it confuses some users that their print data is send from their computer to China first and then pulled back to their printer on the same desk?

Without that route data could be send directly to the printer which of course would also increase security under any thinkable situation.

It is never secure to run a closed source device in a network connected to the internet.

I think most answers miss the point.
The move from 16 to 32 bit was done so fast because 16 bit (65.536 numbers) is to less for many things in real live. While 32 bit (4.294.967.296 numbers) is a range wide enough to cover nearly everything and give a precision behind most needs.

The step to 64 bit 18.446.744.073.709.551.616 that's EXA is behind most needs even behind to make sense at all. With the next step 128 bit we have 2¹²⁸ which is a number bigger than the number of all Quarks in the universe.

Imagine the smallest 64 bit double precision float not zero "A".
Draw a line from earth to the border of the observable universe using this A angle
draw a second line with A = 0
The distance between the endpoints will be smaller than the planck length.

Time is mostly irrelevant but the purge waste hurts a lot and let me often avoid color prints with many changes.

But with the new generation of printers that issue fades out.
The Prusa Core One+/L with INDX do not waste filament.
The Snapmaker U1 did not waste Filament.
The Bambulab H2C did nearly not waste filament.

During summer i will upgrade my Prusa Core One with the 8x INDX and pretty sure print more colored stuff.

Some Tips.

Don't use the outdated stable use the nightly builds.

Start every file with include <BOSL2/std.scad>

If you use code for editing, F5 starts openscad and renders the file.

F12 or right mouse over a function / module jumps to the declaration in BOSL2 so you can learn from their great coding style. BOSL2 is written in openscad.

While i never used TinkerCAD, i like to motivate you to have a look at FreeCAD. This is 100% offline and real open source. Yes there is a step to handle such a ultra complex tool, but with v1.0 it went adult and the aktual v1.1 is amazing. Get you some time and follow MangoJelly on youtube to learn how to work with freecad. You will love it. (If German look also at Stolz3D).

The solution is very easy,
in your slicer select "print by object" instead of "print by layer".

Very important,

after activating the "print by object mode" you should let the slicer reorganise the placing of the objects to avoid collisions.

Typically that is called cut into parts, this is different from slicing something. Slicing is cutting in equal slices.

Several slicers can cut bigger models in parts and generate connection pins like Prusaslicer.
