  Maybe you should try thoroughly drying it, that helps a lot with PETG.

  I generally print first layer at 260/250 and the latter ones 10 degrees colder. I do the same with the build plate - starting with 90, and leaving it at 80 throughout the ret of the print. With some plates you have to bee mindful of PETG sticking too well (possibly damaging them) but it works out really well with PET/PEO plates, letting the print retain the texture of the build plate. On PEI I either print it cooler, or use glue (in this case it makes it easier to separate the print from the plate).

  Have you tried drying it (even if it’s straight from the factory)?

  Some of the newer iPhones feature a LIDAR scanner and there are store apps that can use it to scan too

  The K1 series has graphite bushings on the X axis which should be self lubricating and should not be greased.

  I am too, and it is really easy to do so. Look up “Linux cpu governor”. NUT (which is the most common UPS management software for Linux) can execute commands, start timers at different events from UPS.

  Yeah, that explains stuff. I thought you might have had some stuff on Pi that you could’ve been running on the PC. In that case I’d recommend that you run the NUT on RPi, and set it to pause print on a power failure, possibly change CPU scaling (i.e. to “powersave” CPU governor if you’re running Linux) on the mini PC, or even possibly shut it down in an event when the power outage lasts longer than a minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What specs should I look out for UPS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whatever would support the combined max wattage of the devices you will connect to it. Ideally something that can handle 50-100% more power. You can control some UPSes via USB or network, so you can hook it up to that mini pc or Pi (why are they separate?) and run NUT on it. You could technically pause a print/shut down a computer/Pi if an outage is more than x seconds to reduce power usage and get through one that you otherwise couldn’t.

  Does anyone have any kind of nozzle camera mount for Creality Ender 3 v3 KE ?
