I guess I’ve been looking at it wrong the whole time! Although, living in the countryside would be preferable for moustache-rainwater

I appreciate the usefulness of my eyebrows to divert rain away from my eyes. I do not appreciate my moustache’s water gathering properties when walking in humid environments.

Yeh, again I’m not sure how efficient using water is but my instinct says it will be a lot better than any mechanical system as they are generally very inefficient!

I’m going to preface this by saying, all I know is that know about the subject was one physics class in college… The teacher mentioned Hydro Pump Storage that pumps water into a reservoir when there is an excess of energy generation then releases it through turbines when there is a surge is energy needs on the grid. Wouldn’t this idea work in a very similar way? If so it would seem feasible as about 15% of the UKs STOR requirements are met in this way.

Who wants to do the exact maths to work out the sea level rise of all of this melting? My back of an envelope calculation gives me 4cm, but happy to be proved wrong! I did 1600km3 over 75% of 510,000,000km2

I also found a huge difference between filaments. Creality was terrible for me, Reflow is great

This really summarises the passive aggressive level you get to with a 3D printer: “Lift off the bed now you little fucker!”

So a combination of three changes finally got me back the correct result.

1. Changed the nozzle for a brand new one, that helped a lot but still had a fee issues.
2. Remeasured my extrusion amount and recalibrated the e-steps, they had gone quite a way out.
3. Reduced the temp by 10°C apart from the first layer.

Thanks for your help!

I will check that, I hope its that as that would be an easy fix. Also I only use matte filament.

When you say pressure of the z-axis, do you know what they meant exactly? Not sure it could be temp as it’s the same, however I did change the part cooling fan in case that was faulty and the material wasn’t cooling fast enough

Traditional I would be working on a freelance basis with companies and teams that would only use adobe, and wanted files in those formats. Though as I’m doing more and more of work just for myself the alternatives are getting more tempting.

Yeh, I use 4 applications from Adobe in very limited amounts. I wish they did a pay as you use subscription! If you use them all every day it’s cheap, but I maybe use them about 10-15 hours per month at the most.

I’m not sure if your last sentence was an aside or in reference to this case. But I just thought I would mention in case it was the latter; Qatar is a necessary transfer airport to Australia from Europe and the UK if you are travelling with Qatar Airlines (which is often one of the cheaper fares available on the very expensive journey) or I believe if you book via Quantas, Qatar Airlines is one of their partner companies that you could end up on.

I still have this problem. The right side of the x axis is loose on the upright for me. Adding a dual z-axis didn’t help much, it still sacks sometimes. Next step is to add a cr-touch or completely rebuild. I’d also like to hear some other ideas for permanent fixes

Currently up to 4 Ender 3 pro’s, (1 not pictured being repaired). All synced over repetier server on a raspberry pi, which was life changing! Running only 12 hours a day until I install the quiet motherboards and my wife lets me run them all night!
