- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 4 weeks ago:
I have it working with a BTT Microprobe (which is very similar to CR-touch). It does not work with the PRTouch which comes with the printer (and is inferior anyway). Eddy is probably much better than either of those. I have the gantry mode printed and pre-assembled but decided not to go with it. Maybe someday if something breaks and I’ll have to tear printer apart anyway. When you’re saying extruder you mean the hotend?

I was able to get >35 (tested using Orca’s calibration) with CHCB-OT, but I doubt you can go much higher than that even with better extruder gears.

Can you point me at more info on how to do it on K1, and how does it help? From my end I’d like to recommend the glass bed mod for K1 (put in between the stock bed and magnetic sheet). The bed level is really great. ~0.1mm difference across the bed, no weird bends, no need to preheat (heat soaking?) in advance before leveling

Same!

I’ve been using thangs which used search everywhere, but now it defaults to searching only models hosted on itself so I’ve stopped using it.

I’ve been using thangs which used to do the same, but now it looks only at itself…no thanks
- Comment on Print refusing to stay flat in corners 1 month ago:
What is the (approximate) ambient temperature of the room it’s being printed in? Are there drafts (wind)? Have you tried cleaning the plate and then using glue (which shouldn’t even be needed for PLA)?

Ok Creed
- Comment on 3D-printed cam gears from various materials - will they work? 5 months ago:
Because they don’t go on the public roads, or don’t consider lives of ordinary Russians to be important enough?

You could set up Tailscale on any device in your network and access it through that. That’s probably the easiest way to do it.

Which OEMs are as bad as Apple is, can you show me an example? I had no idea to be honest
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 5 months ago:
I was talking adopt other OEMs that you’ve mentioned. It’s obvious what Apple does
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 5 months ago:
Do you mean having a lot higher margins on upgrades? I don’t think that’s true either, but maybe they’ve been getting more aggressive on that front over time.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 5 months ago:
Apple’s RAM/storage prices have been unhinged for a long time. I try to avoid any upgrades when I buy their products, it’s usually better to get the higher model - I.e. with better processor/better product line (which usually has a better starting RAM/storage), than to upgrade a base model

Then why do a personnel taking of a product you haven’t used?
- Comment on Petg Calibration Issues 6 months ago:
Keep in kind some filament may be humid out of the box. You can try different methods of drying it for now, but I’d really recommend getting a dryer when you can.

I believe you’ve confused them with Bambu
- Comment on Prusa Mk4 or Mk4s first layer issues 7 months ago:
I had a similar problem, fixed it by lowering extrusion rate for first layer. Changing z-offset would’ve probably helped too
- Comment on How Hard did I screw myself by """Cleaning""" the Nozzle at 300°C... Multiple Times...? 7 months ago:
Just replace the nozzle. You can try touring the cleaning filament in the future, I use it when I’m swapping filaments -especially when I change between different types.
- Comment on PETG is just as stringy as I was told 8 months ago:
Maybe you should try thoroughly drying it, that helps a lot with PETG.
- Comment on PETG is just as stringy as I was told 8 months ago:
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)?
