I saw your other post about using a 3D printer to tone transfer and ill say it: looks fucking rad dude. Great execution. Great aesthetic pic.

This is the type of news I like to hear about lmao. Going to refer to everyting as a wild burro now

Oh weird, I didn’t change any of my settings but it must have flipped off when I tried logging back in.

Thanks! Ill keep my stupid question up for others in case.

Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

I have a tablet too, but that’s used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I’m DMing because the footprint is smaller.

Agreed, stop scrolling the comments and go read it random reader.

I used to get so excited by tech advances but now I’ve gotten to the point where its still cool and a fascinating application of science… but this stuff is legitimately existential. The author raises great points around it.

Didnt watch the trailer, but that name feels bound for SEO hell.

Yeah, it felt nice to play, but after dumping 8 hours into it two weeks ago I can’t even remember what a single enemy looks like.

Spent time printing last night and I was able to get a first layer that looked extremely similar to this. Was able to successfully print some smaller things (1 hour print time max). Scared to test a longer print honestly, mostly because if it still doesn’t work I’m just at a loss.

Side note, that red is super vibrant looking. Gonna grab some now lmao.

got it, more test runs to follow.

This was the final key, just bringing it WAY closer to the build plate. My first test print turned out much better I see what you mean by smoosh being missing.

Lowering the Z Offset, Cleaning the build plate, using “fresher” filament, adding a brim support layer, and checking the nozle for built up filament seems to be the checklist to follow.

Appriciate the help, Lemmy was a last resort. Hopefully someone else can stumble upon this thread if they’re having issues.

I was a little confused at first but this is a great explanation. Haven’t seen this tip mentioned elsewhere before!

My humidity in my little printing enclosure is sitting at 21%, so it seems like this probably isn’t the major issue. Thanks for the info, the other perspectives definitely help.

Relevant Pictures:

Can you elaborate on the process for using PVA glue? Do you put a thin layer on the future print area? Does it ‘cook’ at all on the bed? How is it better than using a gluestick which I see recommended pretty often?

Good call. I tried the all options, and brim definitely helps get good consistent prints. It didn’t solve my problem outright but definitely helped when I was doing initial research.

Hmm. I don’t have a specific filament dryer. I saw that this was recommended, but I wasn’t having any perceiveable issues with wet filament before this problem.

To troubleshoot I tried ordering ‘fresh’ filament from 3 total brands. Some seemed to print longer than others but still would ruin the print eventually by catching on the base print. This was heartbreaking because I really thought this could have bene the fix.

Will look into improving my storage long term so this can be crossed out as a potential issue.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, and with so many different options to try. It means a lot, I really enjoy printing so this has been bumming me out a lot. I’ll try to get some reference photos up after work.

We were almost literally in the exact same scenario and era of home. We went with an 18", our first dishwasher in 8 years.

My girlfriend and I cook a LOT, so we make way too many dishes. On a bad day I fill up the dishwasher before my sink is empty and have to hand wash a few extra plates. I usually avoid putting pots and pans in there, honestly it doesn’t fit well with much else in the bottom row if you have that utensil thing in place.

If you only use a couple plates and a mug or two a day, its really easy to just put it in the dishwasher Instead of the sink and when full just hit CLEAN.

Was it worth it… I guess? How much do you hate dishes. Anything more than 2 people probably go bigger.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.

Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.
