Am I the weird one who just would take a hot glue gun or 3d printing pen and heat it up and slowly just roll it across the edges until the plastic becomes soft enough to push together?

Maybe I’m just trashy enough to not care that it’s not the nicest looking afterwards.

Puzzles.
And everything is a puzzle to a degree. I love to collect information in my head and use it to solve other things. I used to try to solve them for the cosmos or for the world but I didn’t get paid very well to do that and I’d rather just solve little ones.

Be it literal puzzles, trivia, cooking is often a puzzle of balancing flavors and combining them in unique ways. Software and computers are just puzzles on finding how the functions work and solving through it until you find that part that doesn’t solve right.

I make my own furniture pieces occasionally or garden. All of it is just puzzle solving for what my soil can grow, what do I need for the household or what can be done with the odds and end items I have left.

It’s fun to repurpose items, fix broken things and build new stuff and I bet it’s how lots of other people who can’t focus on things feel as well. It’s just another puzzle.

Yeah I really like mine too but you got to make sure to clean out the activation chamber occasionally with warm water.

I keep wishing/wondering if there was a simpler version that could be made using baking soda and dripping in vinegar as the acid.
I feel like there is a shocking amount of improvement possible on the concept of base and acid homemade carbonation systems.

Yeah, I know people swear by print speed in some circles especially if they are printing stuff to sell and want to speed up print time as well and that’s a core selling point of Bambu Labs printers.

The default fast speed settings in the slicers to most people will be all they do. And it’s got a large user base.

Hey there are other great printers but also it’s fine to recognize a great printer.

The rest of the industry is quickly playing catch up because the quality and the absolute bar lowering the printers from Bambu labs have done.

QIDI and the new Creality printers are already way better for it and we will hopefully and likely see more innovation from trying to dethrone them.

All to say I think the cheers are justified and worth it. And as soon as they are worth it I think people will stop.

Hey see lots of people answering other questions but not the one you really want answered.

The basic nozzle wiper included sucks.

I have now tested probably about 4 different options and it’s something that you will want to replace soon if you are doing consistent filament swaps in a print. The A1 mini scrubbers don’t work quite as well as you would hope, mostly being that they hit the build plate back tab usually from where the nozzle wipes at and can grab filament and create a clog in the tube. I’m really liking the one I have on my printer though it needs to be printed with at least PETG realistically or ABS or ASA, but the nozzle wiper that uses a piece of tubing did the best job of cleaning the nozzle just also flung tiny little specs of plastic all over.

Buy more build plates also, especially textured as that will let you print everything basically and even TPU without a release agent on the build plate. I also really like the extra LED strip light replacement.

I’m currently in the finalizing my setup stages of an X1 and feel like I am finally in just printing away stage if you want to compare.

I would assume mostly from trying to speed up print time.

The benchy is a 16 minute print and it lets the quality be good enough for that. If you are slicing the files yourself it can be a lot better especially if you are setting slightly lower layer heights and slower speeds.

Not all prints have it.

I was today minutes old when I discovered the TG of TGxGoodies stands for TorrentGalaxy

So liberals like quietly shutting up people they disagree with and leftists shout at each other to get their points across…

Sounds about right.

Chicken or the egg?

So, I can’t print PETG in a cold room without extra effort.
I also can’t print it on smooth build plates very well.
And I can’t print it very fast or with surface layers that are super complex.

PETG needs a good surface that it’s close to and can adhere to and it needs to be warm.

I set my build plate to 50°C for at least an hour before printing and leave a fan running in the enclosure to spread the heat around. Bed is set to 70 and I only use the textured build plate and make sure the nozzle is clean before it prints cause if it starts sticking elsewhere it won’t stop.

Oh and if I open the enclosure part way through the print and cold air hits it I find I usually lose the print.

It’s an excuse for the profit line not going up and a desperate squeeze for a few more dollars in profit for their quarterly that they hope their investors don’t realize cost more to fight than made so that the cash keeps rolling in.

This kind of tactic of over punishing the poor relies on the stupidity of the wealthy. I don’t get how they don’t see it as insulting.

So I got my inkbird ITH10s and they are at least for me what I was looking for.

They aren’t all perfect and have a slight variation between them but they are consistent and only cost me $14 for 6 of them. And I’m really only trying to get a rough idea of difference between enclosure types.

But yeah these do feel consistently like e-waste that for most people’s need of tracking if their humidity on their filament has gone too high that the answer is just the color changing paper readers. That or old mechanical ones that are always on in a simpler way.

Well yeah, the world and by extension your life is mostly harmless. It’s quite the statistical anomaly when you do get harmed but it’s not to say it’s impossible.

People do tend to get stuck in that awareness of chance of harm and often over prescribe it to certain parts to keep up the fear. That’s probably cause people are also mostly stupidly uninformed.

Working on it. Waiting for some packages.

The rectangular ones are slightly more reliable from personal experience but likely just as possible to be low quality. From working with them the design layout leaves less space to get obvious flaws such as the RH sensor being installed facing the board which seems to be true for most of the round ones, they also have a separate and dedicated temp sensor unlike the round ones and use a double battery setup since voltage can also affect the accuracy of the reading.

But the RH sensor between the units seem to be identical as is the inability to calibrate.

Personally the paper strips are very reliable if just looking for a binary answer of if it’s gotten past a threshold and are incredibly cheap.

Abe recommended an electronic daughter board sensor that was cheap but requires skills I don’t have.

And I have found medical grade ones that can be purchased cheap “used” as they are often single use for shipping purposes to make sure the item was kept in specific conditions. But that brings me back to waiting for the. To arrive and test.

TL;DR

These cheap electric square or circle ones are both luck based with some preference to the square. But cheap paper humidity sensors can be gotten if you just want to toss them in a bag to make sure they haven’t gotten water damaged as a binary identifier.

For reliable accuracy look elsewhere.

Not with these cheap electronic ones. Looks like there might have been a missing connector for resetting the RH value and a missing button to swap between F and C for temp.
Part of my calling these out as they seem very much useless.

Just bought them after the realization of this. I will try to make sure I let you know as I found a really good deal that I’d be happy to share as well if they are good as long as you are fine with used.

You figure this out?

LOL same. And this is why I bought bad tech. It’s a whole wild world if you can actually take electronic components and just wire them together and program them yourself.

Yeah Samsung. So that is something we agree on.

The case is weird I don’t want to buy a bulky one on Scamazon that pops free from the glue being cheap like the second case I tried to buy. So that is where I am at not being able to find them. I got gifted a case from Debrand and it literally wouldn’t let the phone fold enough to trigger the sensor to turn off the interior screen.

Seems pixel is better, but I liked the Microsoft duo for being wider but that died hard.

They just don’t feel like a permanent answer from the cell phone manufacturers.
But I’m glad they found a home with someone that gets the most out of it. Everyone has got unique needs I feel these are still just hyper specific.
