Sounds pretty great to me honestly… Might spin up vm this weekend and give it a shot!

Thought let’s be honest, I’ve grown kinda lazy in my old age and compiling kernels is kinda a pain if you don’t need to so I dont know if I’ll actually use it for anything

Yeah I’ve had foil bags with dessicant be damp too. In my experience, if you’re getting a deal on petg you probably need to dry it. That’s probably why you got the deal.

Yeah seeing the original I suspected retraction settings since it was mostly in places with lots of retractions.and long paths even out and look smooth.

This fixed the under extrusion which seems to confirm it’s a retraction problem but disabling it entirely you’ve got those oozing artifacts where moves happen.

I’d suggest using a small value for your retraction and probably take the time to use teaching tech or ellis’ tunning guides to tune your retraction settings.

I was being sarcastic because really it doesn’t have a tool with explicit features, just a workaround using a couple features together.

For a new user it’s very difficult to do a pretty basic task.

It does! And it’s so easy to use.

• Draw a circle with the ellipse selection tool
• From the edit menu choose “stroke selection” and follow the dialogs
• Remove your selection

It’s so obvious I can’t imagine why anyone would be confused.

Canada can just become the 51st state and solve that /s

It’s so semantic it almost reads like a sentence!

And who needs simplicity when you can teach people about advanced shell techniques like command substitution?

Perfection.

That was kinda my point. If qt breaks them again and arch updates and links the new QT are they going to come after them too? The position OBS took on this originally seemed like an open source disaster. It sounds like they moderated to something reasonable and that’s great.

This whole thing has been kinda wild. Every Linux distro bundles obs linked against their own libraries. Because fedora did it in a flatpak it was suddenly a problem?

I get developers being frustrated by buggy downstream builds flooding their queue with useless reports. They ain’t got time for it and can’t do anything about it. But this is open source software and obs had a bad take on distributing it IMHO.

Glad fedora was able to talk it out with them.

I would have guessed the same as others that it was interactions between the nozzle and the bed or some texture on the bed. Especially since we don’t see any normal extrusion lines which are normal on the first layer.

Since you’re confident it’s not, are there artifacts elsewhere on your prints that might be a clue? Is there anything going on with your nozzle? Maybe some wear, chips,or inconsistent flow? If you print just the first layer what does it look like from the top? Does it help describe what we’re seeing?

Watched this a while back and my take away way it might.

The larger photo shows a lot of wear on the end compared to the new nozzle (the flat area on the top is larger). It’s hard to tell from the photos but in my experience this generally correlates to a widened nozzle diameter and decreased print quality.

Great work. This is how you really unlock the potential of your printer!

When we visited Europe a number of years ago I had to learn stick and we all practiced quite a bit because renting an automatic wasn’t reasonable. It’s actually pretty hard to find a manual to learn on and not all learner agencies even have one.

Yeah pretty neat. I spelled it out because I doubt many people in this day and age would pronounce it that way normally.

I think you mean 1 point 21 jigowatts

Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

Maybe. I actually have a dehydrator I use with plenty of airflow.

But I think that only solves part of the problem because that makes it really good at drying the outside but it’s still going to have trouble past the first couple layers. I think the fact moisture would also have a hard time penetrating means current options work well enough.for most people.

Anecdotally I can support this, recently I had a particularly old roll of petg that I dried for a larger print and later in the print started getting all stringy and messy.

Yeah, I’m definitely interested to see some experiments. I was surprised it worked as well as it did but if it does it’d be super useful

Wonder if you could use some sort of buffer system to extend the time in the dryer
