I’ve seen music books for recorders on ZLib - maybe there is stuff for ocarina as well.

I like Antenna Pod for this - my BT connections let me use the Forward 30 Seconds feature when m driving or running. Since most ads are 30 seconds long, I can cruise through them easily.

I moved from a major metro area to middle of forking nowhere several years ago. I kept my library cards from the metro area, which still work for Libby ebook and magazine downloads, while the local rural library is tied into a regional system for the occasional dead tree book.

I’m printing PLA+ at 200C nozzle, 60C bed temp. It’s been fine so far with a few failures I’ve filed under “User Error”.

OK, now I’m curious how I change the bed temp settings after the first layer – something in the slicer? I’m using Ultimaker Cura, and have just recently been digging into the advanced settings.

I’d heard about needing to keep the filament dry, but it hasn’t been an issue for me yet. That said, I’ll get what filament isn’t still sealed into a dessicant loaded container ASAP - thanks!

Heat is ~28C outside (90F or so), more in the shed. I’ve no ABS since I’ve I read it’s tough to work with and I haven’t had an application for it yet. I just did a cleaning on the plate, and I’ll see if that makes a difference.

OK, good to know – just did an alcohol/dish soap wipe and restarted the print, will check it in a bit, and do the cleaning after every print.

Same here, never had any problem.

OK, so no to pulling it all off.

I’ll give this a try, but let’s say I put the filament in the printer cleanly – the filament won’t be tight for long as it gets pulled into the printer, so what’s to keep it from jamming itself up again?

UPDATE: I really need to learn to try things before I start complaining they won’t work.

I followed your advice – as I was tightening up the windings, it became clear that the lead winding was under the next one. I know I wasn’t the most careful when I initially loaded it, so you’re diagnosis was probably correct.

So I pulled the tangle out, cut off the damaged section of PLA, and more carefully reloaded the filament this time. It seems better now – the filament is feeding better now. Time will tell – I’ll post an update when this print either completes or fails.

I have the predecessor to that, the Photon Ultra. I’d be very interested in seeing how the anti-aliasing performs on the D2 - I’ve been fighting voxels on the Ultra since Day One, and haven’t been happy with the results.

One thing I’ve found after printing on my Anycubic Photon Ultra for a while is that I rarely need the .010 - .040 layer heights. I do most of my figures for display, not gaming, and I just don’t see that much distortion from layer lines, or difference when printing at different layer heights. Voxels are a much bigger issue IMO, and I spend a lot more time and effort in getting anti-aliasing set right.

Right now I want something with a higher resolution (the Ultra is only 720P IIRC) and better anti-aliasing – even with it dialed in on Chitubox, I have to do some sanding and filling on smooth surfaces.
