...which is Nintendo's strategy since the Gameboy.

That's capitalism - it'll gladly sell you even its own criticism

EDIT: solution is in the comments. TL;Dr retractions ON and INCREASE speed. Both opposite to common knowledge.

I can't print flexible TPU properly. It's either foamy, inconsistent extrusion or jam city, nothing else. I wasn't able to complete a single print properly in a week and probably 50 tries.

Tried

  • 24 hours of active drying
  • speeds of 10-30mm/s
  • flow rate 1-1.2 (100-130%)
  • temps 220-250 (mfg rec is 235-250)
  • 0.4 and 0.6 nozzle
  • Cura and PrusaSlicer

Direct drive (Biqu H2 V2s) on a well-tuned Ender 3 (no issues with ABS, PETG, even nylon). Part fan off. Printing on PP tape (no adhesion issue).

I can get halfway decent looking print with 250C and a Flow rate of ~140% but it eventually jams anyway. Lower temps give super inconsistent extrusion, nozzle spitting chunks intermittently.

At my wits' end. Any more tips? I don't have any other TPU ATM, may be just shitty filament? It's a cheapo polish F3D Filament TPU 93A. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to have something like this integrated with Home assistant but Grocy is just ludicrously complex. It's like SAS for your fridge, only more complex. With rude developers who always know better than everyone else.

...so it's absolutely impossible to hold. It's becoming bad even now. I'm glad they at least got back to straight edges, my 11 Pro is impossible to firmly hold without a case.

So you use the free thing wrong, don't RTFM, vent on internet and then vent some more when corrected? What's your end game?

She does ❤️ thanks :)

Looks like an user error to me. Influx is for long-term storage of history and data, you don't need it for automation at all.

[-] stooovie@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Absolutely wrong. I have dozens of devices integrated, from a lot of brands, all working. You can of course try to get a turnkey solution from like Loxone, but be prepared to pay thousands of dollars, and good luck adding anything that's not in their ecosystem. And there's a lot of that. And what is there is all pretty outdated.

Xiaomi is great and I use a lot of their stuff, but the options for automation are severely limited.

I have, but I've reached the point where I can just send stuff to it and it materalizes, without lots of tweaking and tuning, and I intend to keep it that way for a while :) as you probably know, upgrading these printers usually means fucking everything up and gradually rebuilding

thanks! oh boy, I don't have the time for finding specific info and models, but

  • PEI sheet
  • metal BMG extruder clone from Aliexpress
  • hotend cooling fan is a 4020 for lower noise
  • shroud is an enlarged stock-like one to accomodate the bigger fan
  • PSU fan is a large 8020 with buck converter to lower RPM, with printed case and grille
  • drawer, handlebar, base fan cover, filament guide, tool holder and toolbox all from Thingiverse
  • my own holder for the Xiaomi phone acting as a screen for Klipper (my first model :)
  • Rpi3 with Klipper in the ugly box on the left (printed wrong orientation, it's bottom up)
  • Capricorn PTFE tube
  • printed springy feet for lower vibrations
  • BLTouch clone by Fysetc
  • yellow springs
  • Creality 4.2.7 silent board as I have somehow managed to fry the default one, plus it's gloriously silent

What's absolutely essential is the dual-gear extruder and the PEI bed. All the other stuff are nice-to-haves.

My kitted out Ender 3 with pink ABS accessories I have added over the years. I like the black/pink color combo.
