Why did you have to remind me of my higher education failures

This was max acceleration / max speed test, it’s a 30mm cube (scaled)

Aahh okay! That’s actually funny now when i think about it a bit!

I used to have it but then i just had to throw everything away. Something something why is this junk in our house something something angry wife…

I don’t get it 😔 Care to enlighten me?

Cooling fan cooled the spaghetti, and when enough got formed, outer perimeters started building the Z support. After some time, the infill actually caught to the flying spaghetti and created a “solid” bottom layer upon other layers managed to stick. Due to the flexible nature of spaghetti structure, the printed part was wobbling quite much and couldn’t retain the dimensional accuracy 😕

We should make a whole keyboard out of this!

You get used to that being a possibility with every print. That’s why you should do everything in your power to have your printer always in shape and operational, although sometimes it will happen no matter what!

Unfortuneatly, this is just waste, straight to the bin.

Maybe i should make a printable model but preserve the “original” “art” “design” 🧐

It’s dynamic speed related settings in prusa slicer. I’m fighting with that silcer for so long that sometimes i overlook some of the settings :(

It took some time to find the culprit.

It’s under:

Filament settings -> Cooling -> Cooling thresholds -> Slow down if layer print time is below: # - and - Min print speed: #

I am running a bit hot, yes, 215, and the extruder is bowden feed. It does tend to ooze a bit like all bowdens do, that’s why i have to get my speeds and accelerations on point, because the “dynamic” speed/extrusion settings never provide good results for this printer and i don’t know how to account for the oozing on speed changes.

I’d love to upgrade to a direct extruder, i’m currently using e3d v6 hot end. Do you have any suggestions?

First layer is printed with 0,8mm and half as fast as the others, then the second layer i believe is regular width but still half the speed, that’s why it’s a bit squished down there.

I was mainly worried about the top, as i didn’t set anything speed or extrusion related for anything apart from the first two layers mentioned.

Otherwise, prints are okay, but i like to print a calibration cube every now and again just to check for possible maintainance required.

It’s a prusa-style printer, no make or model, i put it together from parts laying around! Edit: Z axis is fine, i regulary print tall objects and there’s no wobble, but thanks!

Damn, i would’ve never thought about that. Went to check the speed in prusa, would you look at that…

Perfectly corresponds to the bulges.

Thank you, Detective Carighan!

Check if your extrusions are straight if you’re reusing chinesium. Watch out when/while building the Z axis, you don’t want to print parallelepipeds! Otherwise no advice, it’s pretry straightforward.

Newpipe doesn’t have a version for iOS, the newpipe team decided it won’t support the os because it heavily relies on android api. Not to mention that you probably couldn’t easily install it even if it exists. Youtube without ads is available via safari though.

Nothing wrong with differences. I just wanted to point out that many of the things i thought i would be missing, i’m not, either because there is an alternative or because it’s in the os by default.

To answer your last question, an example, i paid more money to get less enjoyment from one of the computers i use in the “home lab”. I could’ve spun up yet another VM for some services, for free, but i decided to purchase a dedicated machine. It had to be small tho, so the only real option i had was the Intel NUC.

It costs triple of the DIY version, not to mention infinitely more than a “free” VM, but it was the right choice. CPU is soldered, you have to buy M.2 storage because no sata ports, and it takes SO-DIMM. I “could” buy a cheap AMD CPU and motherboard and reuse multiple sticks of RAM and SSDs laying around in the lab, but the power consumption and form factor were more important for the use case.

Slowly but surely i’m getting on the same boat. If i lost my phone tomorrow and couldn’t afford a new one, i would much rather get a second-hand iphone from a year or three ago than a cheap android

I guess you should look into nextcloud and/or synology drive, because they do exactly that.

You can use it as a “cloud”, where the files you are using are downloaded locally and then updated if you made changes, or you can just sync everything.

For me, i have some folders i need always available, internet or no internet, and some that i don’t care about as much. And that’s how it’s configured, it syncs the stuff i need, it leaves the stuff i don’t.

I guess what i wanted to ask by creating the post is exactly what you are saying.

Why would you want to jailbreak a phone or sideload apps? Maybe you don’t have to? I was blown away by the amount of apps and features baked into the iOS and macOS, i had no idea that was the case.

And you can’t even know if you don’t try. Look at the amount of people saying, for example, you can’t have adblock on safari (you can), or that there are no automations on ios (there are).

I’m not trying to preach or to convert anyone, i’m just saying that i’ve been living under a rock and didn’t know about any features the ios/macos offer.

Also, apple products work just fine, sometimes better, with non-apple hardware and software.

Bluetooth devices especially.

Good for you. I switched to libre or at least alternative software which is (almost all) cross-platform compatible. I replaced almost everything apart from some niche software that only works on windows.

The day i can game on linux is the day windows goes to the VM just for that few pieces of software required for my business.

That said, mac comes with most of the every-day items preinstalled. Mail, spreadsheets and the likes. Windows on the other hand - not so much. Windows mail app can’t hold a candle to the mac app or even the ios app.

You need to pay for office for that. Same on android. I can do 99% of stuff without installing any app from the app store.
