This is like saying don’t do a lot of heroine. Maybe some people can regulate themselves, but a significant percentage can’t or won’t.

Stop. My drives can only get so hard.

You shouldn’t feel shame. You’re just part of the club now. It seems to me that borking your system using a terminal is just a right of passage

If they do, then may the old gods and the new have mercy on your hole

Soon to be shitting bricks, eh?

There’s a lot of variability in materials, even before you get into the “+” or “pro” versions.

I’ve been printing Voron parts in ASA plastic for the last several weeks, and some of what I’ve used smells very strong but prints best on the cool part of the range, others smell hardly at all but print better hot. (I’m filtering fumes, worry not)

Yeah PETG does require different temperatures than PLA. Glad you got it sorted

That’s ridiculous. I’ve never had optical camouflage, advanced weaponry, and I’ve never hunted a human.

If nothing else already suggested works for you, let your printer bed warm up to temperature and sit for a while (“heat soak”).

If you have auto bed leveling, what can happen is that thermal expansion will change your bed level after the probe has run, so by the time the first layer is printing, calibration is off. Granted, this is less likely with PLA, but like I said, if nothing else works.

We can agree it’s expensive and dumb.

The $600 SV08 doesn’t include the enclosure, and I bought my 350 Formbot kit for less than $800 with shipping.

I’m currently printing parts for a Voron on a Prusa MK3S. The fact that I can make another printer using a printer is still such a cool concept.

I was a homebrewer for many years, and a huge portion of us wanted to go pro or did.

Most weren’t prepared for what it meant to turn a hobby into a profession. It’s a really good way to turn something you love into a chore.

Printers are now closer to appliances than custom machines, and there are no shortage of them available.

So no, you’re not wrong to want to start a business. You would be facing a tough market though.

I agree, but with exceptions. More complicated projects made of several separate parts (especially ones not 100% 3D printed) can be hella cool.

Heat set screw inserts, embedded hardware (nuts, magnets, springs), electronics, etc. can all be used to create toys that can’t be purchased.

How do you feel about building a printer?

The SV08 is basically a Voron 2.4, and while I think that it’s not bad for the money, for close to the same amount you can buy a Formbot 2.4R2 350mm kit.

A standard Voron 2.4 build will be easier to add a tool changer to compared to a SV08 (efforts are ongoing though). It runs mainline Klipper, which will also open up a myriad of other options. The Voron is much more of a project though.

I’m sorry that my asshole government and Trump’s nonsense trade war deprioritized you receiving your replacement screen. I don’t want him or his administration anywhere but in prison.

I’ll let my wife know that someone finally does!

Have you tried playing on a lower difficulty level?

This is the only way I’ve been successful with a microwave dry. For a standard 1000-1100 watt microwave, drop the power down to 20%.

I normally toss them into my food dehydrator while I’m drying filament rolls though so I don’t need another step.

I think I like what I see out of the Qidi brand, but I don’t have any experience with them.

I would be interested in a review post from you should you decide to go that way.
