I mean I can’t really blame them for being smaller, the USB port is a lot of value added but is also pretty huge.

They make USB rechargeable lithium ion batteries in every common form factor. I use lithium rechargeable AAA batteries in my mouse and they work great. You don’t even need a charger, they are USB-C. Highly recommend.

seems really different actually but I think I’ll try making this!

Kartoffel mit ei is really simple and really amazingly good

They do sell all of the components online though and at good prices. It’s not hard to get replacement parts. I’ve even seen Voron and ratrig people making mods to use bambulabs spare parts in their custom machines because they are way more affordable than comperable high performance parts from other sources.

I use my front facing camera to see under things all the time. It’s very useful, even though I don’t take selfies. I’m an engineer though so I probably spend more time looking under things than most.

in that price range you can get a bambulabs X1 carbon, which is an extremely high performance and high reliability machine. If you want to save a bit, the P1P is also really good.

I am a hardcore custom printer guy who loves building everything themselves, but even I have to admire this machine.

Don’t listen to people recommending ender 3s or anything creality, but prusas are also a good option, if a bit outdated.

I’m running a rapido UHF on an EVA. It’s partially to hold me over until I can sort out how to properly clean my cht volcano bimetal to fully fix my curling problem, because I have to chose between the flow reduction of my backup nozzle or the curling on the fancy one.

I really do need to sort this out because I keep running into it on different machines (even ones I don’t maintain myself, like in labs), but I can’t find anything about it on the internet. last time I made a post about it nobody knew what was causing it, but a nozzle swap has normally fixed it.

The top layer curl is something I’ve experienced on 3 different printers so far, to varying degrees. I think it’s caused by a very light partial clog. I switch out the nozzle to fix it normally, but the pattern has grown on my for general use. I just think it looks kinda neat.

this is cool, but kinda overkill. I just printed a super simple insert that fits snugly into the spole hole and the problem went away completely.

I go through 3-4 spools a month so carboard has been huge for me.

what’s the best way to post videos on lemmy? Know a good hosting site? Also, I’m working through filament pathing issues right now so it’s not going as fast as it could be.

why do zero cross instance links work in jerboa

I would really hope your printer can produce radii to 1mm tolerance. Especially for the higher end of sizes.

Filamentum TPU 98A is probably the toughest filament you can buy. If you are ok with a little bit of flex, it’s basically impossible to break any parts made with this stuff.

It’s been done a lot, but its kinda pointless as any noise improvements from the shape are obliterated by the bad surface finish.

Ayy another vc3500 haver. I use a .6mm bondtech CHT volcano, but honestly I’ve been having trouble getting past 30mm^3 per second, which is unfortunate. My main goal with it is actually giant parts, but the mass production thing is pretty cool too.

lmao the link makes jerboa instantly crash. Still needs some work I guess. I’ll make sure to join it eventually.

I use jerboa, but I’m on lemmy.zip, how can I join this? clicking the links just brings me to a webpage for .world.
