I’m actually pretty disappointed with the development of new features. SMS integration was great and now gone. And what they introduced in the last fwo years? Messages formating, planned-send and editing.

I had to use telegram few times in the last weeks and the bots, emojis, pools or location sharing make it feel pretty powerful.

Discord is the same problem for the internet as the Facebook grups were. Its hermetic, the info stays there, its hard to search thus the same problem is being asked over and over. StackOverflow and Reddit strength is that’s they are indexed and easy accessed

In my cade it was eSteps calibration and flow cube print calibration. After setting this up (flow 91%), issueless prints

More lightweight = faster and more content on the screen? Nowadays cool looking websites are slow and with 25% margin on both sides.

I feel the same all annoyed for example when doing some extensive search on PC vs mobile. No matter if it’s a shopping hunt on ebay or gathering information. On PC i scroll-click 10 links, iterate through them, Ctrl+w the ones being useless and chosing/read betwend the ones left. Something unclear? Double Ctrl+C and deepl pops up with a translation.

5min on PC vs 20min on mobile, where I have to click each link, fight those pop ups and cookies consent, go back, wait anoyingly long 2 second webpage loads and repeat.

Woah, that vid has 2 minutes of initial intro/sponsor crap.

Ltdw Besides he just reads two articles saying that the failure rate is alarming, cause unknown but also the userbase is over 2 milion people, and doubled since January 2023 where it was around 1 milion. A life expectancy of the satellites are 5 years, so the early editions launched in 2019 should still be operational.

He also said that June magnetic storm that hit the satellites caused 100 milion loss with 40 satellites burned. As there are 4500 starlinks in orbit already, their cost estimates for 11,12 billion USD.

Edit. Spelling

Nah, just install Blokada from fDroid. And use that old smartPhone for maybe an AlfredCamera surveillance. But the noBattery mod is useful anyway.

Ok, it’s a freedom and free speech nightmare, but are they stupid or something? They are aiming for the browsers instead of ISPs (and DNSes?)?

Because the media is creating it to be a cataclysm. Who cares…

Reddit is/was great, to search a term in Google with your problem/need of advice, and you had a great lecture of people’s opinions that had a similar situation as yours. Sure, there could be paid bots or options about some products, but it was a great start to make your own point of view instead of going through dozens of useless bot-written websites being promoted at top of the search results.

So wait a second. Is the owner of the instance rich or something? How is lemmy.world founded?

Just place a piece of paper to grab that straight line

I checked right now and I’m logged in and I think it’s necessary to contribute. But it’s a simple form to register and you should try. It’s pretty addictive to answer questions about your surroundings :)

Komoot - great bike route planner and gpx recorder.

Mapy.cz - great hiking navigation with trails colors/indications. Mosty Europe I guess.

Fdroid ->Catima - simple loyalty cards / barcodes instead of supermarket apps

Fdroid -> StreetComplete very easy contributing to osmMaps. You know your neighbourhood? Answer questions if that trafic lights have sound indication for blind people or about the type of surface that bike line has.

Same - sounds better, like .com vs .io and similar.

First thought for me too!

Yesterday after another hour or so I think the printer is back on rails.

• previously my retraction was something from PrusaSlicer defaults so like 5-6mm, now 3,5mm
• I changed the nozzle to a new 0,4mm which gave good results right away (cleaner first layer and no colision by the nozzle with the lower layer)
• an IPA clean mentioned in previous comment worked great. Still one layer of paper-glue stick is used and is helpful
• I leveled the bed with some margin. I always leveled it to fill good friction with the piece of paper, but now, right when the friction starts i loosen the know/spring half of a degree just that the friction is gone.

Gave Cura an another try with this one: https://lensdump.com/a/9ZGlC first successful print from the start of this post

• flow 0,9 and initial layer flow 1,01. In PrusaSlicer it was 0,95 I think
• layer height 0,2
• initial layer height 0,2
• Z-hop 0,3 (sadly had to use it to avoid hitting the previous layer
• top/bottom layer pattern = concentric
• infill 20%
• printing and initial nozzle temp = 210*C
• printing bed temp 60C, and initial 65C
• print speed 40mm/s, and top/bottom print speed 10mm/s
• retraction enabled with 3,5mm distance
• brim on
• Travel Tab: ENABLED: retraction, retract at layer change, z-hop when retracted, z-hop only on printed parts. Yet to try combing mode
• infill pattern = cubic

second successful print (Cura too): https://lensdump.com/a/9ZaX5 :

• only changed initial layer height = 0,15mm
• the print-initial nozzle clean at the bed edge still sometimes gets dragged to the center but it happens partially or doesn’t mess the print and I can pick it up after brim is printed

third successful print (PrusaSlicer gave me warnings about supports needed, but Cira didn’t):

• https://manyuploading.com/nwh2i5jp96w4/signal-2023-07-01-150525.mp4 some clicks of retraction can be heard. They are always there when retracted. Is it ok?
• https://manyuploading.com/5wysd8w1iwvu/signal-2023-07-01-152633.mp4 clicking
• photos: https://lensdump.com/a/9g2rz
• no further settings changed.

Tips/ovservarions welcome and thanks everyone for the comments which I’ve read and gave me ideas what to check/google <3

! this reply is for 30.06.2023 morning state. I’ll post a today’s update around an hour !

THANK YOU for replying. I’m pretty desperate since the r/Ender3 is private and have spent yesterday ~5h trying different settings.

Actually I think I’m leveling to close to the bed. As I described, I slide the paper under the nozzle and tighten the gap to fell much friction. Yesterday with some trial and error, I set the Z-offset to zero and the nozzle was so close that no filament was extruded. I started to make a slight gap as the paper barely drags between the gap and its better this way.

2. As above, increasing the distance was a good idea, the temp. also went up 215/60 first layer and 210/60 rest.
3. I tried placing the magnetic sheet on the glass bed, adjusted the Z limit, but the adhesion was poor. I’ll try it another time, when I’ll make the printer work properly.
4. Print temp increased, first layer 10mm/s rest 40-50mm/s. I’ll try to record how the extruder works.
5. I just found this vid and seems like loading filament to the extruder is a bit of a pain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i4FBZ1jZk4
6. I washed the magnetic sheet with dish soap, but can’t say it helped. BUT cleaning the glass bed with isopropyl alkohol for like 10 minutes to get all the glue stick and gair spray off worked reeeeeeealy good. The adhesion of first layer was right back.
7. I think I unclogged it, but today I’ll try an extrusion test to see if the filament bends or runs straight.

Still ToDo: • Run calibrations for e-steps (printer hardware) and flow rate (the filament you’re using). • Calibrate retraction length using a test print. What’s your current retraction length and speed btw? • should verify that it has thermal runaway protection enabled in firmware.

“I made some printer vibrations dampener” They actually made a noticeable difference in loudness and didn’t cause problems with first 5-8 prints with them: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3649851

Pic.1: First layer adhesion is back but after the extruder goes to second layer it colides with the first layer, messes the extruded filament and moves the print around. Pic.2: Failed prints and the final and best since now being print which can be seen on pic3 Pic.3: Enabled there 0.3mm Z-hop at layer change and the layers were 0.16mm. Was looking promising at first comparing to the previous prints that had drags etc. from the beginning. After some height it went crap again.
