  • I have! This printer actually finished a 3ft sailboat rudder before this print. I popped some pictures of it in as well

    Do you think that could be be solved by adjusting the z offset?

  • Thanks for the tip! I’ve been hesitant to start messing around to much but I think it should if it means it’s more reliable

  • I’ve been looking at this for a while. The camera I have on it is a security camera that i put on my desk while it prints if I’m gone.

    Do you think its worth pulling the trigger on a raspberry pie to get this set up?

  • I left the print over the weekend and I came back to spaghetti. It looks like something, caused the printer to push the print off its base like it was a poorly leveled bed?

    I still have to watch the camera footage to see what failed, but I hope you guys get a chuckle out of the spaghetti monster like I did.

    If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it?
  • Yes, I just finished printing a rudder core for my sailboat.

    For all the headache its caused, its also saved me from several trips to the store to find cable ties, chip clips, a hair dryer holder, pencil cups, spice racks, etc.

    What are everyone's thoughts on the Amazon series?
  • I like it a lot, and it got my wife into Fallout.

    I’m not happy about the power armor, ghoul makeup, or the decision to have very obvious real world car frames rusting away. It nailed everything else in my book though.

    All things considered it’s a blast to watch, and did I mention it got my wife into Fallout? She’s been asking questions about the lore, and she couldn’t care less about any other game outside of Dream Light Valley before this. If it gives us another thing to bond over and gets her into a series that helped me through some of the worst parts of my life, I’m all about it.

    Publishers Not Sure If They Should Keep Making Xbox Games
  • I wasn’t saying that playstation hasn’t sold more consoles. I also not arguing that it doesn’t have better games. It does, Microsoft is very clearly dropping the ball even after they acquired as many heavy hitters as they did. My biggest regret this generation was switching to a Series X from the PS4 instead of either tossing money at a PC or picking up the PS5.

    What I’m surprised by is that the conditions when consoles have had didn’t seem to be taken into effect.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3
  • I just started playing for the first time and did some of Emerald Grove and just completed the ruins near by that took me 5 hours. What an incredible game, I want to stop and talk to everyone. My first play through I’m trying to say and do things I actually think I would do since I created a custom character for the first go around.

  • Hi everyone!

    I'm curious to know which slicer you guys use.

    I've been using the Creality slicer, but it seems like it pretty consistently crashes, and I've tried Cura but the print seemed stringy despite using the same settings.

    How are Orca or Prusa?

    Does this hobby ever get easier or is it always like getting kicked in the nuts by Ronaldo?

    Filament some how leaked up and burned on. I just don’t have it in me to keep tinkering. I just want to print

    Is there any reason that little silver part of the extruder wouldn’t move and start clicking while printing when printing at 205 in PLA. It seems to turn just fine without any filament in there otherwise.

    I cleaned out a nozzle clog, but is it possible there’s junk in the hot end stuck?

    Resolution: Thanks for your help everyone! It ended up being a nozzle clog that I didn’t get all the way out. I ended up heating the printer up and doing the cool down trick. That seemed to work as a last ditch effort before buying a new nozzle.

    I recently picked up a PC and decided to give the original fallout game a try. Do you guys have any tips or tricks I should know before I get started?

    Hi all! I was curious to see if anyone had any recommendations for an enclosure for the Ender V3 Neo. I found a few on Amazon, but they look like grow tents and wasn’t sure if that would work well. For a bit of context, it seems like an enclosure is a must have for ABS printing which is ultimately what I’m after.

    Thanks everyone!

    I recently picked up an Ender 3 V2 Neo at auction. All the pictures looks great, I was told it functioned, and I saw some pictures of it put together.

    Long story short either they didn't include the bolts to mount the screen/gantry or kept them.

    Does anyone know what screen bolts and gantry mounting bolts I need? Thanks in advance!

    It looks like we have a couple perks, but is it going to be viable until the late game?

    I have both The Institute and Fairy Tale on my list next, but do you guys any recommendations on which one I should pick up first?

    We loaded up the Hunter 170 today to see how she would sail when loaded down with camping gear in preparation for next weekend’s trip to the Apostle Islands.

    My wife is still a bit nervous, but feeling much more confident after today. Please ignore the watering can. She wanted to put a bit more weight onboard just in case.
