+1 for Voron. I just finished up mine and am pleased with the results. Totally open source, modifiable, and unlike Prusa machines not based on a 5-year old design. (This is coming from somebody who loves the MK3S+ but was very disappointed with the MK4’s marginal improvement and botch-job of a lunch)
That is an incredibly overgeneralized view of the situation. It’s precisely this kind of polarization, and viewing everything in terms of black and white, that Putin and allies are reveling in.
I have some Fiberology PA12+CF15 blend (link) from a long time ago and recently got around to using it. I am amazed to say the least! It prints easier than PETG, even without an enclosure. Only downside is that it is much more expensive per kg, although it is lower density so I don't seem to be going through it as quickly as...
How long do you have filament sitting “in the open”? I mostly print with a single filament roll at a time, and just leave it on the printer. A 1kg roll lasts me several weeks. For long time storage I keep it in an air tight box with disiccant pouches....
Depends on where you live. I live in a desert where the humidity is often <10% and have left PETG and PLA rolls out for several weeks at a time with no issues. With nylons I’ve been a bit more careful, though I’m not sure I need to be.
Also got it belted up, but found out afterwards that I used a grease that is controversial on the rails (superlube with syncolor). It’s recommended by LDO and Nero3D uses it in his video, but many folks on the Voron Discourse say it’s a no-go. I’d rather not risk it, so I’m uninstalling the rails, cleaning/degreasing...
Picked up an Ender 3 off eBay after Christmas in an “brand new open box” state. Should be covered under warranty, and I shelled out an extra $6 for the Allstate Protection Plan, so I should have coverage even if the reseller drops off....
Finished everything up assembly-wise. Still lots of tuning to do, but I’d say this first print looks phenomenal for not having done any tuning other than Klicky+calibrate_z
Build process is 99% complete. I taped on the panels initially using painter’s tape so I could print the skirts and a few mods in ABS. Several mods are already in place, including Nevermore, panel clips, picam mount, Rock-‘n’-roll, and LEDs. I had a TFT50 screen sitting around from a defunct Ender 5 that I swapped with...
Yup, totally. Klicky as a concept is great, but the original design was just bad. The Klicky parts I had were from a PIF provider, so I’m confident it wasn’t a bad print job. Maybe Klicky NG fixes the issue, but to me the PCB is worth it.
I have to do a fine babystep here and there, but nothing major. I think it’s mostly because I haven’t done an actual offset calibration since changing to Klicky PCB, just kind of eyeballed it with a piece of paper.
Do you have the calibrate_z macro?
Edit: Moonraker says I’ve got 130 hours on it already. More than I thought!
Had a few setbacks since last week, including needing to relube the belts with a more appropriate grease. Also, one of the parts for the clockwork 2 was busted. I can’t print ABS yet since I don’t have an enclosure, so I opted to print the clockwork parts in Fiberlogy PA12+CF15. PA12 is OK according to the Voron print guide...
I've got a SodaStream with an adapter to hook it to a 20 lb CO2 tank. Rather than buying the stupid expensive SS drops, I put between 8-12 of drops of these in. They've got a ton of candy flavors and most that I've tried are quite good!

There are a lot of posts that don’t load the images in the app, but show fine on the lemmy.world website. It’s not just limited to the Garfield community. Is this a Lemmy.world issue or Boost?
This turned out to be something on my end, but leads to a question about how the behavior of the app should be.
I did some digging, turned out this was due to some certs or something on my home router that didn’t like sh.itjust.works. The web interface shows a lemmy.world mirror of the image, but Boost shows the image from the original post on sh.itjust.works.
The question is, should the app be pulling from the original source? If that source instance goes down, Boost won’t be able to show it anymore. That seems against the philosophy of the Fediverse (and the actual Lemmy website shows the mirror).
