Fosscad.org has a good zip archive, I still see some from time to time on printables aswell.

Since the best available firmware is open source I don’t see any way of imposing limits on it.

The printer itself doesn’t even know what it’s making since it’s reading directions one by one, so any limits would need to be implemented at a slicer level, which are also basically all open source (at least any worth using).

The only way I could see it working would be mandating that all printers sold in the US come with software checks against it and be non reflashable, but considering a new driver board that would be able to drive 95% of printers is about $25 it is nothing more than screaming into the void.

No infinite money sink. Started by printed some upgrades for my printer, now i suddenly have 3 that can waste plastic at significantly higher speeds.

We are already having wifi 6 routers being replaced with 6e capable ones.

Just don’t ask about how few of the devices used actually support 6ghz.

Sponsor block gives me a nice list of options to do in that case: skip automatically, show a skip button or ignore. All based on what type of interruption there is.

Ghostbusters are the backup crew in case it’s real this time

If you don’t think you need ANC you’ve never experienced good ANC, even the best passive noise isolation won’t quiet down the sound of a full cafeteria or bus.

No wired iems will never be obsolete, but I will just be leaving them at my desk where the downsides over wireless are less.

ZenFone 10 is the last “small” phone I can remember. Sad to see them drop the smaller size with the 11.

I remember when my 4.8 inch phone was considered a phablet. But it was no bigger than my 6.7 inch phone is now, just bigger bezels.

Just need a 7 inch phone now so it’s bigger than my first tablet.

They tried to ban phones in the hallways and cafeteria, while only providing online schedules which could change at a moments notice.

Ban went into effect, no one complied. Ban was lifted next week.

Dont think the best vga monitors will beat current oleds in response times.

Using a gpu that still has vga will be a problem as well.

Which then gave us orcaslicer (fork of bambu) which has been a godsent for having my mainsail UI in the slicer itself.

That’s about the same as it costs them to run 30h of 1080p streaming to 100k people.

It’s a drop in the bucket, and one they aren’t even going to pay.

Robbie should definitely take the top spot here.

Got the fans in my pc turned up higher than needed just so i dont heat the coil whine.

ASA and ABS definitely do better at elevated chamber temps. What temp is enough I can’t say but I still saw improvements when going from 50 to 70c. Higher temps also let you use more fan speed without the added risk of warping so you’ll probably see better overhangs even though the temps are higher.

Id start with adding some chamber temp sensors first so you can measure what difference you are making with the other mods.

Using 4 mm abs panels I saw about a 15c improvement by just throwing a fleece blanket over the printer, so that might be an easy fix if you don’t print large parts frequently. Although higher temps are also great for layer adhesion on smaller parts.

Yeah ridga or vzhextrudort style gears definitely help greatly. You could do a mihai style test to see if the artifacts on the i3 are mostly extruder related or from the XY motors.

Tuning drivers consistently for quality is going to require an oscilloscope, although there are some experiments with attaching an accelerator to the motor while doing a frequency sweep.

Of course you could just change settings and see if there is a visual difference, but there are too many settings and combinations to make that realistic.

What chamber temp are you using for such a large part? I’d recommend at least 70+C but that might be hard to reach with acrylic panels.

Your bed will also warp due to the heat since its rigidly mounted.

Surface quality is also driver (+ driver settings) and motor related, and even the combination of them.
