- Comment on Which slicer do you use 11 months ago:
I’ve almost always used PrusaSlicer just because the only printers I had access to were mk3s+.
I’ve started playing with Cura though because A. i wanted some more complex prints that PrusaSlicer struggled to support, and B. We also got some creality cr-30’s functional at my college again. So far I still feel Prusa is easier but that’s likely just familiarity.

- Comment on Shoot Me, I Bought Another Printer. A Qidi X-Max 3. 11 months ago:
Hmm. If the common wear items are commodity parts I’d probably be okay with it.
It being a high gear ratio direct drive is a huge plus too. I like my TPU.
I’ll add it to the consideration list for next year’s graduation present to myself.

How much did it run you all in?
I’m a little iffy on jumping on the Chinese supplier train just because I worry about longer term parts and software support. Id rather support a based company like Prusa, except Prusa just isnt keeping up with everyone else… But if their quality passes, it’s hard to argue against.

- Comment on Made an enclosure for my beepy. I think enclosures are my favourite part of printing 11 months ago:
The design-model-to-print pipeline is really what I enjoy the most too. Very nice design work!
Feels like a lot of people get into printing but then just print existing models from online- which is valid, but missing out on a HUGE opportunity that is really what makes 3d printing useful.
- Comment on Is this instance abandoned? 11 months ago:
Feels like it sometimes. I mean hell, the last time it broke I had to email Jonah to even get him to come look at it… to think it’s managed to run this entire time with zero interaction or maintenance is scary.
- Comment on my crazy idea to power a ender3v2 off USBC PD 11 months ago:
Sure, but on these fully DC printers all the power control hardware is integrated into the main board and supplied from a single main power rail. You’d have to basically build a separate power control board with that would allow you to isolate those MOSFET’s on their own power rail and then jump the PWM control signal over to it from the main board. Decent amount of electronics knowledge and skill required to pull that off.

Bet tons of electronics guys wonder why standard header pins are a pitch of 2.54mm… sike! its just 0.100" !!!
- Comment on Issues with layer adhesion post bimetal heatbreak and hardened steel nozzle install. 11 months ago:
Layer adhesion almost always means plastic is extruding too cold. Especially if the adhesion problems are happening on layers off the build plate. Keep bumping the temp and maybe use less part cooling fan- you can’t really make it worse at this point.
Hardened steel nozzles do not conduct heat nearly as well as typical brass nozzles. (The thermal conductivity of steel is around 40w/m-K for high alloys, while for brass it is 110w/m-K). It cannot heat the plastic up nearly as fast.
I usually start at 210C for PLA on my Prusa mk3’s with a brass nozzle, and will back down to 200/205 if there’s more overhangs or too much stringing. But on the printer set up with a steel nozzle I ended up around 225C to get results comparable to 210 on the brass nozzle.

- Comment on Stomp it down 11 months ago:
A typical low flow toilet flushes about 1.5gal these days. Normal shower heads flow at about 2gpm.
1.5/2 = 0.75min, * 60sec/min = 45 seconds
Assuming that you are not effectively washing yourself while ijln the middle of waffle stomping. As long as you can waffle stomp in less than 45 seconds it is a net gain for water usage.

- Comment on recommendations for 2.5 gig 48 port managed switch 11 months ago:
Oh yeah that’s a good idea too. Sure any one client device will be limited to 1g but your NAS could use a super cheap multi-port ethernet card to get 2 or 4g bonded link speeds so it can serve multiple devices at full speed.
- Comment on Can I use two different drives? 11 months ago:
Yup. Same age, same design, same failures… and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.
- Comment on recommendations for 2.5 gig 48 port managed switch 11 months ago:
2.5 is still really new in the networking space and nobody has hit economies of scale yet. I very much also want to build out my home LAN to be entirely 2.5g compatible, and I only need 16/24 ports. but good God the hardware just isn’t reasonable yet.
You pretty much have to bite the bullet if you really want 2.5 right now. What might honestly be worthwhile is finding a used enterprise 1g switch with the number of ports you need, and will still be “enough”, as those can be had for only a couple hundred dollars. Sit on that for 2-3 years until the 2.5g and 5g hardware market starts to fill out.
- Comment on Enterprise SSD? 11 months ago:
Really. Anything branded from Samsung or Crucial(Micron) is going to be fine. They are the top producers of NAND, produce high quality products, and stand behind warranties. But you are gonna pay out the nose for the privilege.
You might just be buying lower quality consumer SSD’s though, since even they should be able to handle a surprising amount of abuse.

If I had a dollar for every time rebuilding a RAID array after one failed drive caused a second drive failure in the array in less than 24 hours… I’d probably buy groceries for a week.
