Weird Underextrusion
  • I think your bed is warping slightly as it heats up, which is normal. Set your bed temp to 105 for half an hour before starting your print and see if it still happens. If you have a V0 or other manually levelled printer, get the bed to 105 before levelling.

  • What are your bed temps for PLA and ASA? Does it still happen if you preheat the bed? If you rotate the print, does the rough spot follow the rotation?

    Anyone miss Skymall, Sharper Image, etc ?
  • DAK catalogs were wild. Each item had a magazine article length description that was clearly bullshit. But by the end you're certain that the constant emptiness you feel is from not owning the World's Best 16 Channel Stereo Graphic Equalizer.

    gotta get a new printer
  • I have an HL-2270DW and the toner low light comes on well before prints start washing out. Fortunately the toner life is tracked by a plastic gear on the cartridge, and it takes just a minute to roll it back. When it does run out, good third party replacements are under $20.

  • During CPU startup Transmeta's Dyson "It" style campaign leading to their first product launch, they widely publicized that Linus was on staff.

    A quick guide to computer components
  • Applying power by itself doesn't keep SSDs from degrading like DRAM though. It's up to the manufacturer to design scrubbing into the controller to correct errors on infrequently accessed data before it's too far gone.

    Sofirn LT1 Mini, are these reflash pads?
  • Nope.

    UPDI used on Atmel micros on Anduril capable flashlights uses a single line for debug and flashing. Much earlier than that, Motorola/Freescale/NXP Coldfire, S12, and some other MCUs used BDM which was also a single wire protocol.

    If you want to flash a newer Anduril to this light, look here for hardware and procedures to use those pads.
