RabbitWizard posted:I'd turn on first layer expansion 5mm and sheath around the support for good measure, also the print speed for the support material interface should be slow, I use 20mms if it is that small. independent of the gengar project, these were useful settings to screw with to try another attempt at my awkward elbow print from the hard supports post, thanks  even with some heat problems because I didn't print two like I normally would, this is the first one of these using generated supports to not have a weird line somewhere in the bicep from it wiggling around before it connects to the shoulder. a+

Does PrusaSlicer not turn retraction on by default? I reinstalled everything on my PC due to a SSD upgrade. Printed something with a fresh spool of Prusament Orange PETG right out of the packaging and the drooling and stringing was horrible. Otherwise, normal rear end MK3S+ with a 0.4mm diamondback nozzle, 0.1mm quality level print. Wasn't just temperature issues as I turned it down mid print and largely the same. I did dry the filament overnight too because why not

Sunday project done. Printed up AMS feeder buttons, desiccant boxes with hygrometer mount, funnel for said boxes (not shown) and desiccant trays (not shown).  Looking forward to where the moisture equalizes at.

 Didn't get the two orange halves lined up perfectly and I needed to deburr the eye, but it still came out great. Used a hell of a lot of supports for the orange pumpkin face, more than I had ever used. But it worked! And it's cute as hell  Model link: https://www.printables.com/model/587276-pumpkin-cat-remix-fixed Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Oct 23, 2023 |

The pumpkin bit has a good amount of clearance from the cat’s head so if you print them with supports you don’t have to finish the inside too cleanly either. My printer is still blobbing and stringing a bit so time to do some tuning prints I guess. Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Oct 23, 2023 |

Anybody have tips on gluing PETG? I’m making my kid some Ironman armor for Halloween. Epoxy was a disaster, it either cured immediately or never. Gorilla glue worked better but feels way less strong.

Same with TPU and would do for anything else that loves moisture.

NewFatMike posted:I’m extremely interested in your results! I’m getting a demo on the X1C in a few weeks and these are exactly the mods that tickle my fancy. Don't know how accurate the digital hygrometer can be when it's right up against the desiccant beads. It's reporting 10% humidity but I do call it into question due to temperature being a bit off by +/-7 degrees on the outside. It's a cheapo thing so I won't say I was going call it definitive and I'll probably use it as an indicator of when to dry the desiccant when the time comes. At least in Bambu Studio, I have never seen the desiccant status bar to be this full before. The stock sachets were at like 3 bars when I got it.  Still worth doing at least since the desiccant I got is reusable.

Yeah, those little puck buddies are OK down to about 25%, which is higher than you want your nylon to be at. Govee are quite good for even low ranges. I use ‘em for my humidor, my BattleBots colleagues use them for filament storage  https://us.govee.com/collections/smart-sensors

I just wasted about three hours trying to diagnose an "issue" with one of my P1Ps. Total print failures on the pieces I was trying to run off in a silk filament that I was trying for the first time. Silk's a pain in the rear end, I thought, so that must be it. Wasted some time running through my usual slicer tweaks for lovely silk filament, but still no good. Problems seemed to start around overhangs and bridges, so probably temperature or cooling related. On the other hand, the failures were also occurring at extremely shallow angles, and there's no way my normal cooling fan settings are causing failures at gentle 15 degree angles, right? Ran the same part off in a different filament and it worked, so back to thinking the silk was to blame. Except the other filament didn't really work because I'm a moron and didn't look closely enough (until like five minutes ago after solving the problem lmao) to see the layer quality issues anywhere the part belled out a little bit. It just printed better than the silk filament and didn't fail outright, so it must be the filament. Except it wasn't the loving filament. It was me having jostled loose the parts cooling fan connector when I cleared a jam last night so the parts cooling issue was that there was literally no parts cooling. This despite me noticing (twice!) today that "hmm this printer sounds quiet for some reason." And also literally futzing with my parts cooling settings over the last two hours and somehow never noticing that the fan was not loving running. I hate 3D printers and myself but mostly myself.

I'm a little surprised it didn't complain about the part cooling fan not working / not being plugged in / whatever. Not that it *should have* exactly, more that Bambu's poo poo seems to have a lot of diagnostic stuff and I'm surprised that wasn't one of them.

Really neat and all being able to do, like, an entire costume piece at once or something I guess but the print times would be atrocious. Try not to run out of filament 32 hours in to your print!

I'm trying to make a Hextraction board, but had to go with the 1x5 rows that someone made for the game because the regular board wouldn't fit on my build plate. Does regular super glue work well for use on PLA, and what does super glue not stick well to so I can safely lay the boards down while the glue hardens?

If you want a base of something to lay down for super glue to not stick to very well a piece of glass works, and when you're done put it in a freezer or outside if global warming ever allows us to have winter again. Get CA cold on a piece of glass and it pops right off.

If I had a use for that big guy and could come up with an alternative to a heated bed it would be pretty cool to be honest. Slap a 1.8mm nozzle on it and just print chairs or whatever the hell would even make sense at that scale.

Yeah probably as long as you didn't take a brillo pad to them to scuff up the surfaces I guess? I wouldn't recommend trying to do any actual baking with them afterwards though. I don't imagine the separation of the glue will be as clean and complete as it is for glass. Cold will still probably work though. I do it every time I E-bay rescue minis for Warhammer 40k on the cheap, stick 'em in the freezer and snap the limbs off before paint stripping.

Yeah, I canceled mine after I got the P1S. The Prusa certainly does things the Bambu can't like flexible filaments, but that wasn't worth the $1K-$3K price delta to me. Hopefully, someone makes a toolchanger that isn't prototype pricing in the next couple of years when I need to upgrade.
