  • I would reall love to have an open source watch, but unfortunately both the pinetime and bangle.js 2 lack severely in the activity tracking, which is the primary reason for me to have a smart watch.

    I’m not sure how the screen is on the pinetime, but on the bangle.js 2 it’s surprisingly bad. Not a deal breaker by itself, but combined with a sort of limping experience on other parts, it’s not a good product (yet).


  • This could be achieved by coiling up the space where the filament travels through

    Yes, that’s also what I already mentioned in the other comment…

    “Unless you have a coil or something inside the tube heater so it spends longer time in there”

    but as I also mentioned, pulling filamennt through a coil will also introduce significantly more resistance than pulling (or pushing if using bowden) it straight, which might be an issue at high speeds and cause under extrusion.


  • I doubt this will work with faster printing materials. 40mm/s is suuuuper slow compared to speeds that most modern printers are spitting filament with (not necessarily TPU). Unless you have a coil or something inside the tube heater so it spends longer time in there, but that probably also introduces a lot of resistance so moving the material through is notably harder.









  • The official marlin-based firmware also “only” goes up to something like 200mm/s and 3000mm/s^2 for my model, but I’ve flashed klipper on it which has given me more control so I wasn’t constrained by the limitations set by the manufacturer in the firmware.

    I was able to push it to 500mm/s print speed and 11000mm/s^2 accelerations, but small details started to suffer and I was getting too much ringing. For simple large prints I still use it though if I need a quick-ish prototype.
