Can you upload a picture of your stripped screw?

I can’t tell if you’re reading my entire comment or not, but ligma bawlz gottem

Now you are bringing my mother into this, calling me a juvenile and I don’t appreciate it. If you don’t stop these unnecessary insults I will have to report you and DScraps to this instance moderator for harassment.

Please refer to my previous comment, ligma,

But this would imply that DScrubs intended me to embarrass myself. If you can ligma,

No, I don’t think that’s what DScratch meant. That would be rude

I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the term.

MSI dragon deez, what?

This is how my wood PLA+ prints used to look too. Your extruder is almost 100% the issue. These filaments are spongy and don’t extrude well. Try toying with your extruder tension and if that fails get a BMG knockoff

Instead of making the hole the exact size, make a small gap so you can use a screw and nut to clamp it down on the peg

That said, just wait until you enclose your printer. The frame will grow in z fairly significantly as it heats up. I’ve not let my printer heat soak, printed a number of sequential parts in one print, and watched the first layer squish getting worse and worse with each sequential part. Eventually filament won’t even stick to the build plate, so you need to tweak z-offset.

Jesus, is that what’s going on… I enclosed my Franken-printer (well it was already enclosed but now it’s less shitty) and my first layer kept growing, I figured it was an inconsistent BLTouch…

Changing nozzles is important as they are consumables, but all of your high quality close up shots are showing a practically unscathed nozzle under a lot of gunk (the picture of the back end of the nozzle has a big chunk of cooked plastic that will pretty easily scrape off), if you cleaned it you’d probably be just as well off as with the new nozzle

You don’t have any yardwork or car problems to deal with, so whatever the hell you want, I presume.

Except sleep without earplugs, I guess that’s out.

Look, if you live somewhere that the sun makes you regret existence (read: everywhere in 10 years), yard work is getting done in the morning, car work is getting done in the evening.

Depending on if the seam is concave or convex, you might be able to use a file or thin piece of fine sandpaper to remove it, but you might wind up with an ugly scratch worse than a uniform line.

Either way it still looks very nice.

Ooh, I quite like this. The design is lovely and that filament is super snazzy.

If I might offer some constructive criticism, I think a randomized Z-seam would’ve worked really well here, but I only noticed it when zooming in looking at one of the plants and if it’s facing a wall or something it’s non-existent anyways

Shit, what have i done.

You’ve added another notch to you nerd belt!

That’s the exact setup I’ve got. Let me know if you have any questions or issues getting things set up. Once you have it figured out you’ll wonder why anyone uses marlin… there’s just so much available. With marlin, literally everything is baked directly into the firmware, and unless you compiled it yourself or dug through the code you’ve got no idea what’s going on with the printer. Set up a retraction tower? Better hope it was set up right because marlin won’t tell you current retract settings. Leveled your bed? Better hope that the numbers stick and the mesh is actually applied to prints.

With Klipper, not only is all of that easily configurable by editing a text file, all of that information is available directly in the GUI. Want your printer to do something else at the start of every print? Just change your start up macro. Realize that you set the wrong retract distance in your slicer? Just change the setting in the GUI. Start a print job with 5 models and one of them starts to fail? Don’t cancel the whole print, just the part that’s failing.

These are just off the top of my head improvements and there’s literally dozens if not hundreds more. What have you done? You’ve elevated.

I see, thanks for the info

I see, so is it a known thing that AMD CPU laptops generally have better battery life? I always see arguments for one CPU/GPU over another because of better power consumption, but I’ve never been in a position where I needed to worry much about it, so I’ve never looked much into the claims.

Just out of curiosity, when you say better battery performance, what kind of battery are we talking about? Is this in a laptop, a desktop on some sort of remote/ backup system?

Yup, I got this set up when my BLTouch mount broke and I had to zip tie it to the print head resulting in less-than-perfect repeatability. Changing the default G28 command is a good way to do it, I did it by making a new macro CG28 and put that in my START_PRINT macro in place of G28.
