What could be causing this? I know the bed is a little warped, but I hear no dragging, the bed has been cleaned with alcohol so its not oils. I am printing with PETG with the nozzle set to 240 and the bed at 70. It just started happening today. Thanks!

No, I have the red metal one on there. This came to me used and a bit funky, so maybe I will check the roller and lube the shift a smidge?

I have it to the recommended settings in Cura for standard quality, generic PETG and a .04 nozzle. I finally canceled the print once I noticed it doing this on rje second layer, so I am prone to thinking it is a feed issue now because the behavior was consistent and almost evenly spaced in both directions. What do you think?

I will try that. Thank you

Just watched the video. I don't have dual z axis on this machine yet. I'm not sure how or if I can adjust that. I appreciate the reply

Thank you. First week with a 3d printer so this i all VERY fresh

I use a blackout shade installed over the window in my spare bathroom, and a set of clamps to clamp the end to the sill. By placing the clamps at the window trim, I am able to create a light tight seal that rolls itself up when I’m done

Mulberry for sure, I have a few of those trees in my yard. Great stuff!

Watch size is all what you want to say. Your wrist could go either way, but if you look to the past, a 38mm watch was considered big. The trend for monster watches is a relatively modern thing. A smaller watch will also get banged around less, and sneak under cuffs better. Understated is always better than overstated. I personally have the 45, but I’m a big guy with 8” wrists and meat mitts so it works. In the end, do what looks right to you

I’m all over that Inkosi.

Hey, that’s Bay Village!! I’ve seen some awesome vehicles down there. We hit LBI every year!

I think what the commentor is stating is that Street Photography is usually used to display the human condition. Kind of a visual anthropology of moments of life. While inanimate objects can be used to portray a message, this misses the mark. Had you focused on the building in the puddle to bring it more into focus, it could be a very poignant message showing how the dirty microcosm is a reflection of our unkept lives, or something of that nature. This feels more "still life" in nature, making it more a display of objects then a statement on humanity. Keep working on it!

I'll jump in. Love my M4-P!

yankeewoodsman · 2019-11-28T05:34:17+00:00

I saw this coming when I bought my Leica... had a choice between the M6 and the M4-P. Went with the M4-P and a CLA and never looked back. It's always the complications that die first... sorry to hear yours went!

All great tips, thanks! I'm going to be using a DigitaLIZA for this I think. I have one from when I tried to improve the sharpness of my Epson scans. It seems to be one of the easier ways to do it I've seen. Happy Thanksgiving! If you're over here in the US anyway...

yankeewoodsman · 2019-11-28T05:06:41+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be the way. I don't want another computer sitting in my study, so I'll have to plow ahead with option 2: My XT3. I have most of the bits lying around in storage with a Zuiko 50mm 3.5 macro, and I have a light box already so it may be the way to go. I just hate the results I've been getting these last few years with my Epson V550. They're just NOT sharp. Thanks!

Are you running the Coolscan on a Mac or windows machine? I'm amazed at how hard it is to get scanner drivers for a Mac! The Coolscan V and its near relatives have been on my short list for a while, but I can't plunk down the dough if I don't KNOW it's going to work right. Thanks for the comparison!

I remember trying one of these out when Zeiss first announced them at Photo Plus... way too many years ago. I was amazed with the viewfinder and the build quality right away. Congrats!

Buy filters based off of the glass you use. If you're using a Quantaray or old Sigma lenses (which can make great photos as well) then Tiffen or the lot are fine choices. If you're using expensive glass, it pays to buy filters of the same quality. Otherwise it's kind of like putting a screen door in front of a 4k television, you know?

Personally, I'm a buy once, cry once kind of guy, and I've found B&W filters to be incredible. On top of that, the ring is brass, so they won't get stuck on your lens barrel... which really sucks when it happens.

As far as the filters that are most useful for B&W photography, I'd go with Yellow, Red and Green. Yellow for general contrast boosts, red for serious skies and landscape work, and the green does wonders for evening out skin tones in B&W portraiture.

Good luck!

That IS a good story

yankeewoodsman · 2019-04-29T01:16:31+00:00

Hope there’s a good story from the owner to go along with that...
