Ender. Happened back in the days with a 3v2, the stepper drivers on the original mainboard overheat, causing it to ‘miss’ steps.

Replaced the MB with an improved version, tuned the vRef and never had any issues again.

You might look into tuning the vRef for your machine.

This is just the beginning…

Cars.

• mechanical, no software bugs
• physical buttons, no touch screen
• everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair
• freaking lane assist

You get it…

That is not how it is supposed to look, the end result should be at least a couple of inches wide.

Maybe you don’t need to ‘fix’ your retraction settings?

If it looks good enough, why bother?

Wasn’t aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.

The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.

So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.

Gonna recommend this to all my co workers.

It is not vulnerable to Windows viruses.

Blowtorch will heat this up way too hot.

Try to get it to a high enough temperature to insert filament to do a cold pull and repeat…

Electrical heat gun (paint stripper) is hot enough. Gas based torches will change the stiffness of your material and you will regret it.

Yes, physically getting bigger.

Dell XPS had a batch laptops going crazy and pushing the touchpad up.

You will recognize it :-)

This.

Using a CEC link will make things even more simple, but that might involve additional hardware. Those raspberry thingies have native CEC on hdmi. For x86 you might have to look at some extra hardware.

And of course, Kodi is an example of a 10 foot interface.

Thanks for the pointer.

This is really huge, but people don’t quite understand that yet.

If this wasn’t caught, every system -running public sshd- could be hacked or abused/misused.

And I completely agree with the last words, corporate should pay foss projects!

Depending on the size, but I’ve had success with super glue and baking soda.

Ender 3v2 as starter here, doubled the price with a lot of upgrades/modifications. Got it running rock solid with Klipper and a microswiss direct drive.

Grabbed the piggy bank and am now really satisfied with my voron 2.4.

But very pleased with the fact I started with the Ender and got to learn then basics.

As far as I can suggest anything; start with something with a large installed base, so it will be easy to find answers or (hardware) solutions to your problems. I can tell you, the installed base for Ender is large, but the quality of the hardware, is what you pay. And they are cheap…

Totally agree. People using cli are probably more skilled and their knowledge has been fed into these ai models.

So we will all end up with some mediocre level of knowledge, because the next input for the LLM 's will be more of the some old stuff. Flattening the curve and less innovation and smart ideas.

These kind of “solutions” are for a non existing problem. Looking at the investors, this is only about making money.

Forgejo ftw!

Self hosting here, also with runners to create a complete ci/cd line.

Cars. Either entertainment system or navigation or more…

BMW has quite the list of licences for opensource libraries and Linux in the about section of the car-menu.

And more and more network equipment.

I compliment you for your knowledge 😊

Maybe -before making the jump to klipper-, use the ProfessionalFirmware, as Myers was no longer active the last time I checked.

That firmware is a nice improvement over the original, but running Klipper will really improve speed and quality.

Sorry for the reddit link, but this is a really cheap hack, to get a better frame.

Print some parts, add nuts and bolts and use a proper method to adjust the frame.

Other modifications:

• direct drive
• enclosure
• replace the main board or at least adjust the vRefs, check the main board version.
• use Klipper to let it calculate the compensation for linear advance
• print something like a brissfang (also compatible with a microswiss direct drive) to get better part-cooling.
• camera
• replace the bed springs with silicone
