RabbitWizard posted:I really like that if you have a thermal runaway it'll melt the cooling loop above the heating element, that's smart design. I like the joke and the level of effort, but the timing on the punchline is just off. That last frame where the product is in the trash (?) needs to be much longer. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on, and I've watched through it a few times.

I accidentally sliced a model in prusaslicer set for a 0.6 nozzle and ran it on my prusa mini+ with the default 0.4 nozzle. It came out... fine? I'm unsure what sort of defects to look for, or if there are negative effects of doing this to my printer. But it sure was nice having a print take literally half the time it "should" have. Why did this work?

I'm about to attend an official Prusa users group meetup in Seattle. Mostly because there is about a 1 in 300 chance of winning a MK4. Anything in particular any of you would like me to try to find out about?

I just replaced the nozzle on my Prusa Mini+ with a 0.6 hardened steel nozzle. I redid the first layer calibration and I'm pretty happy with that. But I just did a long print that hosed up partway through. It _looks_ like a blob of more-burned filament was deposited on the model, then the nozzle dragged that and tore it off the bed. The model before which turned out pretty good also had some embedded darkened bits that didn't cause the print to fail. I'm using the 0.6 profile in Prusa slicer, default 215 temp, PLA. Newly opened roll of filament. What can I look at to debug this? retraction settings? What's a good value to try?

deimos posted:Steel nozzles generally need hotter temps by 5-10 degrees. Yeah, but, wouldn't that increase oozing/blobbing? Maybe I'm completely misreading the situation. What sort of problems would low temperature cause?

Here4DaGangBang posted:You don’t have molten filament leaking out from the top of your hot end and dripping onto the print by any chance, do you? I had just returned to look at it and yup, that was it. It's not surprising that I hosed up my first nozzle change, but it is surprising that there's no good way of telling that it wasn't correct when changing it. I followed prusa's instructions, including looking for a "small gap". Now that there's leaked filament on everything, what do I need to do to fix it? Do I have to take the whole hot end apart? Is there any way to actually tell if I got it right, since visual inspection didn't work?

bird food bathtub posted:On the topic of dry/not dry, a lot of it is going to be dependent on individual circumstances. Someone living outside Seattle where a day you can see the blue of the sky and aren't getting rained on is a gift to be treasured will probably need to dry more than someone living in the heights of Arizona where rain is that thing that happens a month or two out of the year and moisture is what you drink from a cup. I'm that Seattle (Bellevue) guy, AND my printer is in my basement. My PLA is still pretty decent being left un-mitigated for a week or three. For longer term, I mostly keep them in giant ziplocks. I have dryers, but rarely run them. I also haven't really done anything except PLA.

I happen to have a very old MakerGear M2 with a dual nozzle upgrade that never actually worked after the upgrade (I must have hosed up). I ALSO have a grab-bag of stuff I got from an estate sale where the guy was apparently trying to build a 3d printer, including a RAMPs based control board, stepper motors, motor drivers, power supplies, etc. What are the odds I could build something semi-useful out of this? I'm currently enjoying my Prusa Mini+ which mostly just works, but it'd be neat to have a dual head printer around for novelty. 5TonsOfFlax fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Mar 22, 2024 |

Some Pinko Commie posted:Oof, talk about expensive, assuming you didn't get them *way* after their initial popularity. Yep, I overpaid and was in over my head. Probably the only reason I bothered taking it when I moved across the country. But now it seems like it might be a great basis for tinkering.
