  • PETG Print Issues

    Jump

  • It might just be the specific spool/brand of PETG you used. Try buying some from a major well-known manufacturer, like Overture, Polymaker, etc. I've had cheaper brands shrink, warp, have adhesion issues, and all sorts of other quirks.

  • Ended up moving the little 500VA UPS from my computer to the 3D printer. Hopefully it'll help for brief blips.

  • This model was set up for it already in the .3mf file. It stops, moves the toolhead over, automatically unloads the filament, and waits for me to yank it the rest of the way out then stick in another color. It then purges the nozzle a bit to get the main color fully flowing and asks you if it's correct before proceeding. I did this like 7 times for this stupid half-failed box lol.

    Edit: Also, you can left-click the plus sign on the layer slider at any height you want after slicing in PrusaSlicer to add manual color changes in.

  • First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else?

    Jump

  • Double-check the print temperature, PETG should be about 240-ish. Also the spiral vase mode may be the issue if your model isn't designed for it. Also check your z offset, the first layer should be almost a flawless sheet... if not, stop the print and try again while live adjusting the z until it's correct. Typically PETG doesn't like to be squished down as much as PLA.

  • Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along

    Jump

  • I printed the panels using the full width of my large 300x300mm print bed. I have three of them mounted to the wall. There are several sizes available though, you can always merge more smaller ones.

    Jump

  • It's actually just a shorter version of the tall basket model that was available. I originally meant for it to hold my alcohol bottle, but it was too small... then I discovered it fits the canned air perfectly.

  • I designed a printable drywall mount.

    Jump

  • Neat, good job. You might want to include what screw size it fits, and the word "anchor" somewhere in the description/title for searching (these are typically called drywall anchors in the US).

    Honeycomb Tool Wall is Coming Along

  • Finished building the MK4 kit and placed it in the enclosure, first few prints have been great.

    Jump

  • It's significantly faster, the higher motor resolution reduces vertical fine artifacts, and the nextruder reduces texture that could otherwise be caused by bad drive gears.

  • Tukkari support told me directly to do this. It barely gets warm under the dryer, so there's no real risk of it damaging the plexiglass.

  • Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month

    Jump

  • This right here. Crazy to me that people would pay for what ublock origin does for free. Especially people defending the need to shell out for the service to "support" a trillion dollar company like Google.

  • Touch the belly... if you dare

    Jump

  • I do this with my floofy cat every day lol. Usually it's fine, sometimes I get... THE CLAW.
