  • It doesnt happen often ofcourse. It is super rare, but there are many horror storries on google. I think the biggest reason for fire hazard is a kitchen stove, still most people dont have any protection even there (including me).

    These cans cost like 2-3 kg of filament and hopefully they will never be used and end up like a "waste of money". Im spending money on this hobby anyway and this upgrade might help me sleep better 😁

    Sorry for anxiety my friend

  • Ive been using 3 monitors on gtx1060, runining popos

  • Now I’m worried if I’ve got my Bowden tube seated in the hotend correctly…

    Just pull/push the tube with your hands. If there is no play you are good, but if there is:

    1. Inspect the bowden tube ends and cut them if they are worn out
    2. Push the bowden tube in the fitting.
    3. While pushing it in, press the collet down
    4. Then pull it out with a nail and then zip tie it

    I found original clips too thin, zip ties are much better IMO. It helped me remove stringing completely while using half of the retraction distance (using 0.6 nozzle)

  • lemann gave some good points. Since you already tried so many things like lower temp than recommended and drying, I guess bowden tube might be loose (there should be no play at all). Or just a bad filament? I know esun is quite popular, but I never tried it.

    What size of the nozzle you use? Bigger nozzle = more stringing

    It is hard to avoid stringing with PETG, but for PLA it shouldn't be a problem at all. My bowden extruder with 3 mm retraction has 0 stringing with Polymaker Polyterra PLA. Even with 1 mm stringing is almost gone completely. I found Polymaker much better with stringing than DevilDesign or AzureFilm that I used before.

  • No scripts and it was more like 30 hours on my side, but its worth!

  • Can you explain this please

  • Higher chamber temp should help and I think its the best way to deal with this issue. If you are going to try a different build surface like Kapton, consider gluing PEI sheet directly on the alu plate instead (not the spring steel sheet, just a PEI)

  • If you cant increase chamber temp, you can try reducing bed temperature. There is a minimum bed temp you need fot first layer, but you can try dropping it even more (5C) after a layer or two. PEI shouldnt loose adhesion and you will have a bit less shrinking. Not sure would that be enough for your part tho, warping is massive

  • At idle, my latest 5-drive setup draws 20 watts

    That's super low. What drives do you have? Are your drives spinning down?

  • I hook a filament around my neck before going to sleep. Every morning extruder pulls me out of the bed instead of using alarm. Don't need a clock anymore and love to print in the morning anyway

  • Oh ok, I've never seen something like that. Let me know if you find a solution

  • If you need it for Android than try TiviMate. Its a payed app (annually or lifetime), but its the best one I found. Free version should work enough to try it out. I got lifetime and love it, but sometimes EPG doesnt work (could be issue with my provider tho)

  • Thx! Sounds like rly good deal, but 3 kg is not for me honestly. I dont print that much and also my spool holder is too small. 500 g spools would be better for me hehe

    Not sure what EM is, but if you meant that some parts of print are shiny and the rest is matte, its probably different flow. Having equal speeds should fix that, I saw a video where they reduce max flow as solution

  • Thanks, I ordered some Polymaker ASA recently, will try it out.

  • Completely agree, but I have no experience with ASA. 22 mm3/s is super high, Id probably start with the highest temp marked on the spool. You can also test your max flow.

    On the other hand, you had a layer shift which could happen for other reasons as well

  • I use it in croatia, but its so funny here since no one really cares. people around me torrent on daily basis for 20ish years and nobody got ISP letter. Even friends are laughing because I spend money on that lol. Its only 5€ a month and I use it for other things as well. Just get it if you can or 🤞

  • Thank you for explaining this. I was sure its the same thing with different gui, but it all makes sense now

  • Pop!_Shop

    That app was slow and laggy for me. I started using app called "Software" and that one is amazing.

    I don't know why we have 2 stores preinstalled and what is the difference

  • I dont know, I have ublock, but not using the rest
