What about a dab of hot glue as a kind of medium between the head of a bolt/screw and the plastic it’s in?

This way you get some of the “grip” from a malleable material that’s also pretty easy to get ahold of for most people.

That’s the issue. LLM’s aren’t trustworthy. They hallucinate.

I presume, as the default, that anything a LLM produces is a hallucination right out of the gate.

Hallucination thought does fit.

It’s a term in the context of a source that implies untrustworthy, not authoritative and/or imagined.

Lots of examples in every day usage or scenarios that come to mind.

“And then I saw the defendant punch the victim and then I was blinded by the sunlight”

Are you sure you didn’t hallucinate the entire episode? It was night after all.

Or

“Somebody please get these ants off of me”

Another thing to consider is making a data only USB ( I use a sliver of electrical tape over the 5v+ line ) to stop any power draw between the usb port and the printer.

And, of course, check that you have a good power brick since shoddy ones always cause issues with pis.

To be honest sounds like you’ve got a gremlin jumping from one piece of equipment to another so maybe prayer, voodoo, holy water and or appeals to the deity of universal fundamental force of your choosing could help too.

It took a bit to get used to because the mindset is different but once it’s going it’s great.

I love that I can make config changes easily without having to compile firmware.

If you ever decide to take the plunge feel free to reach out since I did it with my ender 3v2 years ago. Not that it looks anything like the stock anymore.

Looks like somebody else already has the config working for it and a step by step guide for setting it up on your machine

One thing to note is you don’t have access to the display anymore since the display on the ender 3 is proprietary. You use a web panel (I often use my phone for this with mainsail as my ui of choice)

That being said there are other displays that can work with it but I seldom use my display for anything anymore.

Very slick. Once it’s completed and has some time to work out the kinks you should tell Steve about it.

I’ve used it for releasing an iPad screen adhesive as well as for warming cinnamon rolls so they’ll rise when our oven was in use.

Totally had the food wrapped with Saran Wrap all around and had something between the plate and the glass pan. To make sure nothing that wasn’t safe for food prep didn’t touch it and to stop from “cooking” the bottom by accident.

Funny timing. I just saw that a YouTuber I’m subscribed to has a scheduled live stream about 3D printed speakers.

The heater no, but a blob of filament with the heat pumping into it is worrying.

It’s not that they melt as much as they just keep dumping heat into the heater cartridge and wires.

And if failed in an on state thermal runaway isn’t going to stop it.

It’s relatively rare though. I’m not too worried about it but it’s one of the reasons I watch my printer and of course there’s thermal fuses for such occasions if you really needed it.

The only other thing to worry about are mosfets failing in an ON state.

Not sure if it’s the same risk with SSR’s

Wiring from the PSU to the board?

Or any kind of backfeed on the motors like when you move them by hand quickly? Which I’ve done and not, so far, fried anything but it can.

Man… Gremlins suck.

Ahh. Maybe some internal resistor was causing noise on the pin… or even the MCU.

Like trying to debug a pc issue only to find out it’s a faulty motherboard

How’s the printer doing? Has the Gremlin moved out yet?

Mostly storage space and ease of updating records.

Let’s say you have records of users who watch a TV show.

You could keep users as a key and shows as an array. Where each array entry is a record of the TV show title, release date, and other info such as time watched by that user.

In this case you’re duplicate the strings for shows like “Fallout” and the release date thousands of times. And then if there’s an update such as a title change or the streaming service or channel where it’s found you have to find those thousands of subrecords and update them.

Keeping a reference to another key/json file by some ID makes it easier to do such updates and reduces storage for that data. Except now you have to correlate that data when doing things like reports of what shows were watched by what users.

And to cover atomicity. Child records deleted when a parent record is, etc.

I will say for ABS this can be mitigated with the following:

• An enclosure (I use a comgrow grow tent)
• Not opening the printer enclosure for at least 20 minutes (so the airborne particulates settle down)
• A replaceable carbon filter (I built a Nevermore duo and bought some activated Charcoal to refill it with)

After doing the above I don’t smell fumes at all. In fact I run the Nevermore even with PLA just to capture any micro particles since the charcoal is easy enough to replace.

Even so, as cool as Resin looks, I’m not having that stuff inside my house with my family. If I did it would have to be in a garage that’s vented but I have a carport and there’s no way I can regulate the environment (temp, humidity) for decent prints. So for now I’m just going with FDM

A little but nothing too fancy. Probably just make it hard to get consistent line widths.

Closest analogy is a hot glue gun. Unless you’re lifting up as you extrude to make a “dab” it’s just going to smear as it moves sideways

Extrusion is a mix of temperature, feed rate, speed and pressure.

Basically the hotend temp could be high enough that the plastic melts but it still “pushes” just fast enough to build pressure to drive it. Not too much, otherwise the filament grinds and extruder skips, but at the right amount you can keep up with the feed.

The nozzle, lifted up a bit, moves slow enough that the filament comes out and spreads out from the pressure pushing on it. Making the line wide and tall.

The dance is keeping those in sync. Move too fast and the lines are thin, too slow and they’re too wide.

Nozzle too high and it doesn’t blend into the layer below as much as sit on top. Too low and the extra pressure pushes the filament around and it curls back up onto the nozzle.

It’s the definite article “the”.
