Not according to some.

All good! It’s the same situation as I described and I see that increasing temps did help. It’s good to do a temperature tower test for quality and also a full speed test after that. After temperature calibration, print a square that is only 2 or 3 bottom layers that covers the entire bed at full speed or faster. (It’s essentially a combined adhesion/leveling/extrusion volume/z offset test, but you need to understand what you are looking at to see the issues separately.)

If you have extrusion problems, the layer line will start strong from the corners, get thin during the acceleration and may thicken up again at the bottom of the deceleration curve. A tiny bit of line width variation is normal, but full line separation needs attention.

Just be aware if you get caught in a loop of needing to keep bumping up temperatures as that starts to get into thermistor, heating element or even some mechanical issues/problems.

I’m down with that logic, but the bot is just going to keep doing its botty things.

Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)

You were right for once, bot. Too bad that is a rare occurrence.

I concur, doctor. I’ll report all its posts and let the mods decide what they want to do.

Ok, cool. Usually those are attached to random sales fronts to boost SEO or something like that. Odd that this one is just blog spamming into the void and getting boosted here, of all places.

It doesn’t seem harmful, but I don’t understand the motivation behind it yet.

Could be a reputation bot here on Lemmy, maybe. That makes sense on Reddit where there is visible karma, but here? (I dunno how kbin works or if it is karma driven. I just noticed that…)

Dunno. Something-something The Freedom Project.

This page (hxxps://freebird-bg0.pages.dev/) is just a generic Hello World page, so that is weird. The title link is just hxxps://orion.pages.dev/

Imma dig deeper and see if I can find anything. First guess is it’s just an AI bot?

185C is cold for PLA. It may work for slow prints, but my personal minimum has always been around 200C and my normal print temperature is usually at 215C.

Long extrusions are probably sucking out all the heat from the nozzle and it’s temporarily jamming until the filament can heat up again.

Think of the hotend as a reservoir for heat. For long extrusions, it will drain really fast. Once the hotend isn’t printing for a quick second, it will fill back up really fast. At 185C, you are trying to print without a heat reservoir. I mean, it’ll work, but not during intense or extended extrusions.

Nope. I haven’t been able identify what Yahoo is about for about the last 10-15 years, maybe more.

I think they show ads or something.

That one moderator has just downvoted every comment here and is likely responsible for the single downvote on this post.

mOr bAns?!

Edit: Aww shit! Two downvotes! Popcorn time!

Yeah, there has been a wave of horrid memes on that topic, recently. I don’t give a fuck about vegans or their supposed oppressors or any associated drama. Just make decent memes and then everyone can have a giggle.

You get a ban and you get a ban! Everyone gets a ban!

There is another aspect to this that we have seen with banks and social media companies: Fines are just a cost of doing business.

The proper metric to plan around is longevity, unless you absolutely need performance now.

Performance and cost should be divided by time. Do you think that bit of hardware will be able to support software for the next two years, or five? That is one way to “compute” value, anyway.

A 4090 will eventually be outdated and unable to run new software, but that may not happen for a good number of years. If you want to get super deep, start crunching the numbers on power costs too. It may simply become too inefficient to run, eventually. (Hell, it’s probably super inefficient now, actually.)

I almost always buy top-tier “last-gen” tech, right after “new-gen” is released when I am saving money. When I have the extra cash and it makes sense, top-tier may also be a good investment.

Be honest with yourself and determine what matters most to you and put your money there.

Just call it X-Twitter. It ain’t twitter any more, and “X” is just dumb as fuck.

I have no comment on this particular political topic, but posting statistics without a source reference is bad form. Maybe it’s not “lying” but it’s misleading, intentional or not. Yes, you did post a source in proper context after you were challenged but it ended up making your original comment look worse. That is my opinion looking from the outside.

If you post data, just cross reference it a couple of times to reduce any friction later. Or don’t. You do you.
