You have my deepest condolances.

Come to the Nordics for a coolcation next year, but stay safe untill the heat wave passes my friend!

Thanks for the advice! I might try a small Z-offset for first layer

IPA is on the list of things to test. Cheers mate!

Thanks for the advice!
I ran a cold bed this time, but I've seen some say warming it up for removal also works.

So many things to test in the future!

I need to make a spray bottle and have it by the printer, as IPA comes up quite often, although with varying results.
Worth a shot!

Yeah you're probably right. Different blends give different results.

Thanks for the filament advice. I try to purchase as locally as possible, but Geeetech is not etched into memory as a no-buy ABS!

I was already running at 30°C, but appreciate the advice nonetheless!
I'll try completely off next time

I see many use glass still. Old school way of doing it, but if it works then I guess it's good!

I'm mostly leaning towards smooth PEI with glue for my next print. Hopefully that will be better than textured with no release agent. Fingers crossed and thanks for the feedback!

Wait what?

The freezer trick I've heard of, but baby powder?
Applied before printing then, I guess?

My printer is enclosed and I'd wory about the aux fan blowing it everywhere.
Even with 0% fan for first layer, I'd never be able to perfectly distribute it under only the print...

This is the first time I've had this much issue removing a print.
I knew it would stick fairly well on the textured PEI, but this was a whole new level. A bit surprised I didn't peel it, to be honest.

I'm leaning the same direction as those people: Buying a stick and keeping it around for those few times I do use TPU. PETG and PLA is still 98% of what I print, and they both come off easily on textured and PLA easily on smooth.

The question I'm stuck with though: Textured with glue or smooth with glue for TPU?

Could be interesting to play with in the future, once my confidence level on the material rises a bit.
Thanks for the tip!

Tips for TPU? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I just did my very first TPU print after years of printing PLA and PETG, and I've gotta say: That stuff sticks like a mofo on the textured PEI plate..!!
The print turned out great and the default profile in BS needed very little tweaking.
I'm currently using Fiberology MattFlex 40D.

What do you guys use to ease the removal?
I've seen normal glue sticks, IPA and liquid glue made for 3D printing, but I figured it would be cool to ask the fine people here.

If you do use glue: Do you stick with a smooth PEI or maybe something else?

All feedback is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Floodlights P1S with relay (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Bronzie@sh.itjust.works to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

Finally added some more lights to the P1S. Relay controlled from USB-A port.

Trickier than I thought as the original light seems to be controlled by a NPN transistor which threw me off when using the 0V from the USB-A. Feel free to ask if you want to know how to do this yourself without risking burning your board.

Huge upgrade for very little money.

(Yes, I need to dust my top cover!!)

Are OLED monitors worth it without HDR? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been rocking the original Acer X34 since 2014 and feel like upgrading again. Specifically the AW3423DWF tickles my fancy, but I'm struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it on Mint without HDR support.

I've only been running Linux for about a year and have gotten quite comfortable with Mint, but see that I'd need to change distro if I want to use the Plasma DE, which is the only (?) one with decent HDR support at the moment?

Do any of you run HDR capable monitors in Linux?
If yes: is it worth the purchase even if I stick to SDR mode or would you recommend re-rolling distro to get support today?
If I change it up, I'm looking at Fedora.

Thanks in advance!

Your recommendation for smart plug (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm tinkering with our ventilation over-pressure function in combination with an inline fan I run when 3D printing or soldering, to get the fumes and particulates out while simultaneously not creating a massive vacuum inside. The plan is to control it with MQTT from HA to a PLC that controls the ventilation via RS-485.

Therefore I'm looking for a simple but clean looking smart plug that I can integrate with HA to let me know when the fan is on (pulling power, actual wattage is irrelevant) to automatically enable this function.

I know Sonoff makes some, but I always prefer personal advice over random search results.
Preferably Zigbee or WiFi (offline) as I don't have any Matter/Z-wave hub/dongle. Compact design and black would be nice, but not a must. Stability and ease of setup matters more than added functionality.

Does anyone have any personal experience to share?
I'm grateful if you do. Thanks!

Experience with Autobrr? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’m strugling a bit making it work as intended.
I set it up to push straight to Sonarr/Radarr and it works, but my ratio on everything is still bad. I’m guessing something is taking time, making me lose out on the initial swarm.

My connection is wired Gbit.

It’s not really a problem as I seed forever and have a great ratio, but I still want it to function or at least understand why it doesn’t.

Appreciate any advice!

Lemmy equivalent to Trackersignups? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Does anyone know if it exists and is active?

Looking to join alternative quality trackers and I’m trying to avoid Reddit.

Not asking for invites, just help being there once it opens up.

Preferably with some sort of freeleech rules to get going as I hate the initial hustle, downloading random stuff to build a buffer. My NAS is running 24/7 so seeding is not an issue anyways.

Would also like to hear your experiences and recomendations on trackers. Currently active on TL and very happy with them.

Cheers!

Need a little guidance on grinding (sh.itjust.works)
 

Morning Gentlepeople.

As a coffee newbie I am having some small issues while trying to improve my game. I have a Oracle Touch and subscrube to a local monthly coffee delivery, so my beans change weekly.

My issue is that the grind setting is incredibly different from bean to bean. With my last bag, grind 14 gave a perfect 1:2,5 ratio. With a different bean today, I had to discard two cups before learning that grind size 3 gave me the same ratio. 14 gave me 1:3,5 which tasted rubbish.

The problem is that I got channeling and very little crema.

I guess the questions are: do different beans require completely different ratios or am I doing something very wrong?
Should I accept a very high ratio to avoid channeling on certain beans?
Or should my timer be lower on certain beans?

Thanks in advance for any help and have a great cup this morning!
