My pebble 2 Duo arrived yesterday… It doesn’t yet pair with Gadgetbridge but I imagine it will at some point.
I’ve also ordered the Pebble Time 2, which I think will be a better watch for me: going back to a b/w display without touchscreen is hard. The Time2 has both colour and touchscreen…
After learning how long it takes to heat soak my v2.4-350, I can’t imagine how long that 500x500 plate is going to take!!
With the exception of crap for the kids and cake toppers, everything I print is to solve a problem I/we have.
Here are the gridfinity drawers I designed and printed for under my desk. https://www.printables.com/model/1129785-gridfinity-under-desk-drawer-system
I’m about to start printing triple stacks of these to put better drawers into my IKEA KALLAX shelves than the ones IKEA sells.
See: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4254
I spent 3 months working with support, they replaced just about everything related, eventually sent me a whole new printer, and the new one had the exact same issue out of the box.
It starts too low consistently, so filament builds up constantly till it drops and ruins the print.
I can’t print anything bigger than 20cm² without it dropping a giant blob somewhere in the print and ruining it…
Always perfect first layer is not real, and my experience is that they are distancing themselves from the promise they made when the mk4 was announced.
FWIW, I’ve been a long time Prusa user, but I’m returning my Prusa mk4s and wouldn’t buy one ever again.
Other link wasn’t loading for me
I’ve used airtable for these sorts of “personal use” use cases (eg: home built rocketry flight log) and I was even able to use their iPhone / Android app to enter data.
I haven’t paid a cent for it yet as I’m well under their data caps.
Mk4s owner here and I’m super unhappy with the output of my factory assembled mk4s, due to a consistent first layer problem. The mk4s is related to the core 1 as far as I know as the “next gen”.
Prusa seems to be aware of the issue, but I feel they are still messing around greatly with any kind of actual solution to the problem, that actually led me to pulling the pin on any work purchases from Prusa at all.
I actually got sent a second factory assembled mk4s as a “make good”, and the new unit had the exact same problem, right out of the box…
If I had my time again, I wish I’d have gone the Voron in some kind of pre-packed kit form…
Nah… It’s easy… My previous mk3s+ had hundreds of awwsome PETG hours.
🙏🏻
Can I assume from your response that you have a mk4 or mk4s with this issue then?
Thanks…It’s a good point. I’ve updated the post photo, and I’ll add the worse failure mode elsewhere.
If you wanted to customise the starting gcode, I’m sure you could.
A typical output with PLA.with Zoffset = 0
I can get adequate results with Zoffset or LiveZ +0.04 with smooth sheet and PLA.
PETG is still variable results for same settings, z+0.01 is ok some of the time, others it is still terrible, and still sees filament build up, so if printing real things, it eventually blobs, and has a (bedArea - printArea) chance of then causing a collision.
+0.02 means no bed adhesion, and I can’t actually get a finished first layer.
This is one of the worse failure modes I have experienced for this issue. In this instance, the extreme amount of “squish” leads to extreme filament buildup on the nozzle, eventually causing colisions and removing chunks of the FL test.
Yes, but it occurs with both PLA and PETG.
My mk4s has just been replaced by Prusa. I’ve been chasing down first layer problems that manifested as load cell bed scan calibrations being haywire and filament blockage false positives.
After replacing just about every part of the nextruder 2 parts at a time, it started leading to the loveboard being the culprit, but after 6 weeks of troubleshooting, I asked for this to just be solved already, so they’ve JUST delivered the replacement.
So for me, it will be starting from scratch sith my mk4s, and figuring out what’s needed.
Given I print mostly PETG structural parts, I’m imagining that I’ll likely end up with 0.8mm as my default, and 0.6mm Obxidian as my abrasives nozzle. (I have been waiting to print PCCF for a while…)
Currently using amazfit trex2 with gadget bridge.
All the things I actually use work. My only peeve is that you can’t silence /stop phone alarms from the watch, but I believe this is a general android thing…
