I’d give Teaching Tech’s calibrations a try. His website has a great guide for tuning every part of your printer. teachingtech.github.io/calibration.html

This is my recommendation as well. Having the alarms sync is one of my favorite things with the watch. And when you stop it on one it stops it on both.
- Comment on What's your go-to "Bang for your Buck" filament brand? 1 month ago:
Tried IID Max’s PLA+ since they were always posting discounts on Reddit. I’ve stuck with them since for anything that needs color, their filament is vibrant and I’ve never had any issues. Buying in bulk you’re looking at roughly $10/kg. For my black I use Elegoo PLA. It has a nice sheen to it.

It’s actually orange! But yeah, super vibrant. My favorite brand is IIID Max, their PLA+ is very vibrant

Just ran a disk like yours as comparison. You have to look pretty close to see the individual lines! Image
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
If that’s the 1st layer we’re looking at, you can get even closer. You want all those lines to be merged with each other.
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
Printing the 1st layer slow is so important, forgot about that! I’m down to 25mm/s on my first layer. Nice and slow. A print with a large surface area (Like a sign) may take 15 minutes on the 1st layer, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
Going by just the failed circular print, you definitely don’t have a good Z offset. There’s no smoosh there. Putting it lower will smoosh the filament into the print bed (Part of why the PEI sheet is textured. The filament smooshed in the texture helps hold it better than a flat print bed). The fact that you can see through your first layer is bad.
The top layers of your other failed prints look good, so I say we can rule out under/over-extrusion.
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
The humidity issue IMO is often overblown. It’s really environment specific. In my old place my relative humidity was 35% so wet filament was never a problem. It’d be good to get a hygrometer to see where you’re at before you start buying fancy filament dryers or accidentally melting your spools in the oven. If your area is generally high humidity then it can help. With PLA though it’s not going to make a huge difference.

Printing really is fun! But there’s so much to troubleshoot, it’s a time sink to get things right. My 2nd printer is down from a dead fan, one of these days I need to solder the broken wire back on.
But once your printer is tuned, oh boy it’s satisfying
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
Oh this for sure. Sharp corners? Brim. Tall print? Brim. Small contact area on the bed? You won’t believe it, but brim.
- Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help 2 months ago:
Hard to know what’s going on without pictures. Could be any number of things. My first thought is over-extrusion if the nozzle is catching your print and knocking it over. Or maybe you need Z hop between layers. I’ve only used Prusaslicer so can’t say what to do to help in Cura. If you’ve completely replaced the hot end, you should be re-tuning your printer (PID tuning for correct temps, e-steps for correct extrusion amounts, etc). If it’s adhesion problems where the print isn’t sticking to the bed, applying some glue stick can help keep things secure.

Thanks for the tip on the Postgres changes! Went back and looked at the 1.95.0 changes and followed the instructions there for fixing it. This seems to have solved my issue!
- Comment on Immich release v1.99.0 (and new logo!) 3 months ago:
Will get updating now! Since the last update my server hasn’t been accessible and I’ve been too lazy to figure out why (Portainer shows it up, but the server container quickly goes offline). Hopefully I can get this fixed today.

I remember Grocy being pretty easy to setup with Docker. Just set up your compose file and start it up.
Grocy already lets you add expiration dates and non-food items.

- Comment on Alaska Airlines' barred from overseas flights due to a pressurization fault | Even though "an additional maintenance look" was requested regarding the warning light issue it was "not completed" bef... 5 months ago:
Article title seems AI generated. Makes it sound like the whole of Alaska Airlines was barred.
Due to this, Alaska Airlines opted to limit the aircraft from extended flights over water to ensure that the plane “could return very quickly to an airport” if the warning light reappeared, according to Jennifer Homendy, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair.
Looks like Alaska knew about the previous warnings and voluntarily pulled it from international flights.
- Comment on Introducing Gemini: our largest and most capable AI model 6 months ago:
From the article, looks like Bard is now using Gemini as its backend, no opt-in needed.
Starting today, Bard will use a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more.

- Comment on PrusaSlicer putting overhangs in mid-air 8 months ago:
Printed at 200% (So 200mm tall in total). 195mm was just that layer’s height. Who knows what little setting was making it be like that.
- Comment on PrusaSlicer putting overhangs in mid-air 8 months ago:
That’s what I ended up doing, thanks! Put in a 0.2mm disk right at the problem area, now I’ve got a nice clean bridge.
- Comment on PrusaSlicer putting overhangs in mid-air 8 months ago:
Not my model (Added source to my post). That was a good idea, though. What I ended up doing (and can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. Been a long day…) is adding a 0.2mm disk right at the problem height and it’s looking good!
- Comment on PrusaSlicer putting overhangs in mid-air 8 months ago:
No visible hole in the model. Maybe there’s something funky going on with the model

- Comment on What quality PLA filament brand have you standardized on? 8 months ago:
For various colors, I honestly like IID Max PLA+. I’ve never had trouble printing with them. With their bulk ordering you’re looking at about $12/kg

Maybe not permanently. But for straight up tinkering to see if/how possible it is, it’d be a fun experience.
