You can also cancel individual objects on Prusa MK4 and Mini by default.

Probably at least the first 2 layers, if you dont want to see the next color through it.

I use those until it triggers the filament sensor.

“Monotonic lines” is an improved version of Monotonic, and has been the default for a few versions now, if I’m not mistaken.

Yes, you’re right, don’t know why I flipped that in my head, it’s pretty clear on the diagram you sent me.

I feel they’re too light already 😅

I’m sorry, when was Microsoft praised for their GUI?

Yes. I would need to increase the weight on the pen too, though.

Ah yes, different sized pulleys would work the same as the gear train I had in mind. Thanks for the explanation!

Edit: on second look, it’s more complex than that, as the weight is not connected to the end of the rope, but on a pulley.

I still feel the distance they travel will stay the same. Except if I use a gear train.

Well, there is a reason I was trying to get rid of that printer 😅. The school had two Creality CR-5S that were donated from a Chinese university. You won’t find anything about them online (except for one YouTube video describing how terrible they are). Not sure how much of a gift it was to the student.

So, I’ve had something similar happen to a creality printer, which was just the excuse I needed to bench it. I gave it to a student later, he plugged it in and it just …worked.

So my first reflex would be to tell you to unplug it and hold the power button, to empty any residual charges/memory.

Haha, can’t take all the credit here, I just modified the Makelangelo to work with the parts I had!

Nice! Can’t take all the credit for mine, most of the work was done by Dan for the Makelangelo.

Maybe a printer that adds Morse code on a string.

Hmmm, only if a second pulley was higher than the motor, I imagine.

It can go further than that, i just limited it to a smaller size for my first real test. I told the software that I was drawing on an A1 sized paper. Drawing this across the full board would have taken forever.

There are a couple of no-go zones close to the corners. Longer belts would allow it to go lower, but then the counterweights would hit the floor when going up high and limit the drawing area there instead.

Last time I ordered from filaments.ca, I could only find half-size spool refills for PLA. Not super happy with it, as it costs pretty much the same as buying it on a cardboard spool, and the spooling process can be hit or miss.

Edit: I do like filaments.ca, just not the spool refills I got from there.

I’m not perfectly sure I understand your question, but if you see it in action, this thing is really wobbly. Not much precision there.
