It was a very long day that started with a nice easy plan that quickly turned into “Which POS part is preventing this thing from working”

Fun fact it was the motherboard. Though it wasn’t a consistent issue sometimes it was RAM failing, sometimes it was pcie not working, sometimes it was networking not working, etc. After swapping the motherboard everything worked beautifully.

Yes we tried reseating the CPU, yes we checked for bent pins, yes we made sure the cables were secure. Something was fucky with the motherboard.

I’ve used mine for a lot of stuff really

Weaken adhesive for opening a cell phone (like your picture)

Revive a Nexus 5X long enough to patch it and transfer the data off of it (a really frustrating process BTW)

Heat treat resin prints (place print in box, set box on bed, set bed to 80C, come back in an hour, turn bed off, wait for it to hit ambient, remove box) this process is great for hollowed prints as not only will it cause and trapped alcohol to evaporate out but it will further cure the part and increase the durability of the part as well (CNC Kitchen has a great vid on it)

Keep my coffee warm while I was building and setting up a NAS for a friend

That rainbow brick goes hard

Damn I’d love one of those

No worries

And dang that it’s not one of those things as the things I mentioned in my comment are relatively easy to fix

Edit: Best of luck on solving it and I really hope to see you post about how you fixed it as I’m hella curious

Do you have the correct thermister type set in the firmware? If there’s a reporting difference that could be why. (This one bit me on my first 3D printer rebuild, now I’m way more vigilant about it)

Without a nozzle installed are you able to push the filament through the hot end? (This one bit me on one of my printers due to faulty hot end and there being a piece of metal partially obstructing the filament path. Sucked to diagnose but was an easy fix once it was found)

Is everything on the hot end tightened down still? (This one bit me a few weeks ago after a couple bolts on my hot end worked themselves lose after months of use)

Is your extruder still functional gripping the filament? If it can’t grip properly (or is jamming) this can cause clogging issues.

Have you run a PID tune?

And when you installed your thermal probe and heater cartridge did you use thermal compound?

Edit: Sorry for the really basic questions but in my experience clogging issues typically have a frustratingly simple solution.

Edit2: Does your printer have a screen not connected to Klipper?

The transphobes think they’re friends with biologist when they in fact are not.

Usually I can see it start settling while it’s mixing but it doesn’t fully settle during mixing

Usually I’ll be able to see a noticeable difference in 24 hours but I’m actually not fully sure

If I don’t notice it settled enough within a couple weeks I’ll add a bit more concentrated alum solution to each settling container and shake the hell out of it

But in general having one container worth of alcohol settling while the other one is able to use is a good idea because settling can take awhile if the alum solution isn’t very concentrated

Edit: By concentrated alum solution I mean like 25 grams per 100ml of distilled water, it should fully dissolve before you add it to the alcohol.

There’s also the question of light transmission through the material (probably has a term but idk) as different materials with different pigments will transmit light differently.

So OP would need to find a partially transparent red TPU so that light will go through it but also needs to diffuse as well.

Yeah commercial product would likely be cheaper here.

Sounds about right, I remember watching his content on that regards awhile ago when I was interested in the topic, before my state made them illegal that is.

Basically if you wanna operate a company hosted on servers in a specific place you’re going to have to abide by the laws of that place. Or if you want the ability to do business in a specific place you’ll need to abide by their laws even if you’re not from that place.

Still quite the nice model, you wouldn’t happen to have a link to share would you?

So having my printer sitting next to my cure station is perfectly fine

Especially considering the light has to go through 2 of the covers to get to the resin

Thank you for the info, I’d love to see the numbers for the smaller wavelengths but I have no idea the kind of equipment cost it’d take to get those.

No sharp protrusions that could puncture or damage the screen or vat. So I say flat.

I was never successful using a plastic spatula so I used a metal one

Luckily my lid is currently mostly clean barring a few smudges from incidents

I usually change my gloves before I touch it so it gets fresh gloves every time

Oof that sounds like a pain

I’ll probably still pick some up to give it a try though… someday

G217?

That super clear non-yellowing resin?

Very nice

Most of my gouges came from ABS-like resin as well

I’m noticing more brands embracing cardboard spools and I’m for it

They’re easier to recycle

My only issue is when they’re full they squeak on my filament holder during printing, but I’m planning to fix that… Eventually.
