I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.

It’s SFW, don’t worry.

  • The 0.2mm nozzle has less material flowing through it than the 0.4mm

    You can only force so much material through it before your nozzle before the extruder starts skipping

    Think of a garden hose, the 0.4 mm nozzle is the hose flow unobstructed. When you put the finer nozzle on the hotend it’s like putting your finger over the end, the pressure behind the nozzle goes up.

    Try printing at the same speed as the 0.4mm nozzle (this is what I do) and make sure that your slicer is properly configured for your new nozzle and it should adjust the flow so that it doesn’t chew the filament to bits in the extruder.

    Also 0.2mm nozzles will clog a lot easier than a 0.4mm nozzle due to the smaller opening so you need to be pickier about filament.

    You say you think you’re having heatcreep issues, what exactly are the issues you’re having?








  • Basically exactly what happened.

    I didn’t even notice the bits missing from the print as it was still being rinsed in the alcohol.

    The head of one of the minis I was printing for a friend popped off and I didn’t notice before starting the second batch of dudes and then CRUNCH $70 dollars for a new part to be on the way.

    Edit: Unfortunately I’m familiar with the crunch of an LCD panel. I’ve broken a few but this is the first one on my resin printer. It lasted about a year before I broke it.











  • It was a very long day that started with a nice easy plan that quickly turned into “Which POS part is preventing this thing from working”

    Fun fact it was the motherboard. Though it wasn’t a consistent issue sometimes it was RAM failing, sometimes it was pcie not working, sometimes it was networking not working, etc. After swapping the motherboard everything worked beautifully.

    Yes we tried reseating the CPU, yes we checked for bent pins, yes we made sure the cables were secure. Something was fucky with the motherboard.


  • I’ve used mine for a lot of stuff really

    Weaken adhesive for opening a cell phone (like your picture)

    Revive a Nexus 5X long enough to patch it and transfer the data off of it (a really frustrating process BTW)

    Heat treat resin prints (place print in box, set box on bed, set bed to 80C, come back in an hour, turn bed off, wait for it to hit ambient, remove box) this process is great for hollowed prints as not only will it cause and trapped alcohol to evaporate out but it will further cure the part and increase the durability of the part as well (CNC Kitchen has a great vid on it)

    Keep my coffee warm while I was building and setting up a NAS for a friend


  • Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

    Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

    I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration
