Also preheating and waiting before bed leveling helps. These beds are wobbly. I’ve put a glass bed on top of the factory one on my K1

Exactly what I’m talking about, this is why I’m using glue. If you’re talking about a textured plate it’s probably PEI

Yeah, I dry my filament (especially PETG) with one of those too. I don’t have to use glue, it just makes PETG easier to remove from the plate. Otherwise it can stick to the plate too well (had a case where I removed the model with some of the PEI coating).

I’m actually using spray glue (3dlac) usually with a textured PEI (rarely a smooth PEI) plate. I’m also using PET/PEO (double sided) plate with PETG (without glue) - adhesion is really good, but not too good (so it’s easy to clean).

3 things that help me with PETG when it comes to separate it from the plate:
- Glue (yes, really)
- Cooling it off (sometimes putting the plate with leftovers on the freezer)
- Olfa scraper (at a right angle to not scratch the plate)

I think I was getting Jayo PETG from AliExpress. As for PCTG it was from Rosa3D - you can get it directly from them or through Allegro
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve printed a lot of Jayo PETG, and aside from having to dry it before use, it was fine (and very cheap).
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
Im Poland you can get PETG for <30 zł, PCTG for ~80. PETG-CF for a little bit more than the plain one.
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
I am aware of that, but usually Jayo branded filament is cheaper ;)
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve used both. PCTG is much more expensive than PETG (which is one of the filaments you can get very cheap), and does not offer that much over it. Unless you need something with (very slightly) better impact and temperature resistance PETG is way to go. If you need much better impact/temperature resistance ASA/PA is the way to go. I’m using PETG+CF if I need more durability and temperature resistance than the plain one, but avoid CF for stuff I have to touch a lot.

Eryone and Jayo are pretty good (and cheap) too
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
Yup, try PETG, it’s pretty versatile and resistant to most things (aside from very high temperatures).

Try it, I was thinking the same thing once and it did turn out to be the case
- Comment on Gaps in first layer, but not in brim? 1 month ago:
Any chance your z-offset is making the nozzle too close to the plate/too high flow rate for it?

I’m not saying you do - just implying it’s pointless
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 2 months ago:
lol, good luck with that. First of all it doesn’t really affect them commercially, second - there’s no single version/distribution to support.

There are also scripts to unlock upgrade on „unsupported” processors which still technically work with 11
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 2 months ago:
Pressure them about what exactly? Making the product for Linux or extending Windows 10 support?
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 4 months 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?
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1) 4 months ago:
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

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 5 months 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)?

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.
