Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one
  • Electric cars are certainly preferable to gas cars, but the whole car industry I'm general that are needed for both gas and electric cars are bad. Roads, parking lots, highways, the lights needed to keep them lit, the process of mining enough materials to make electric cars. The issue in my opinion is that cars in general are awful for the environment and just quality of life, they're better but I hope we can shoot for higher.

    General chat - how's your running going?
  • Not much of a runner, but ive been finally consistent doing weight training in the gym and I try and finish off around 2 workouts a week with a mile run. I always hate it, but very much looking forward to the day it doesn't hurt. Hopefully soon enough I'll be running a couple miles easy.

    Solved - Strange Extrusions
  • This ended up being the issue, I leveled the bed with the hot end and bed both heated before I started the print in the picture, so I'm not sure how it got so bad, so I guess I did a really bad job. I also messed with the retraction and got it in line and will have to more finely tune it later

  • That probably explains it, I didn't change it and I remember hearing direct drive printers need smaller retraction amounts so I'll check that out

  • When its just extruding like 100mm just as a test its fine, but I haven't done it yet with when it retracts so it could totally be that.

  • Ive been trying to get my 3D printer to print properly since upgrading my Ender 3 Pro with an all metal direct drive hot end. I calibrated my esteps perfectly and they're spot on, beds leveled although there is a bit of a dip in the middle, and my slicer has the right settings for this PLA that is new and just opened from the air tight bag. Not sure why im getting these weird first layers.

    Slicer settings: 200c hot end 60c bed 50mm/s

    Filament recommendations 190-220c hot end 25-70c bed 50mm/s

    X-Steps 80mm Y-Steps 80mm Z-Steps 400mm E-Steps 437.6mm

    Any recommendations of what to try?

    Steam Glitch
  • It seems its just happening to Steam for some reason, my friend says it happens when he's in a game and alt-tabs into Steam.

    Edit: sorry it happens when he shift-tabs into the Steam overlay

  • I totally agree, I've found Lemmy to also be quite boring, my feed consistents of 90% memes and politics. With nearly nothing about my more niche hobbies.

  • I was having some dropped frame issues on my PC, and my phones video is pretty much unusable so I figured its probably a lack of hardware acceleration. Is it worth it to buy an Intel A380 which I've found for $120, or is it not worth it? For reference I currently have an i5 8600k and 16gb of RAM running Ubuntu Server headlessly.
